Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

PAL

6.17

na

North American Palladium (PAL)

PAL -  Interesting speculation on a very fast-rising metal but, don't forget, only 50% of it is palladium...  They've got a lot of other stuff, like nickel... But I like that.  For $6 bucks, I'm willing to sit and watch that palladium market happen.  I like your choice.  It is a profitable company.
 

GNK

81.99

na

Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. (GNK)

GNK -  These big container ships... I've got a theory... I believe that all these shipping companies are going to be shipping a huge amount of product to China, to rebuild the province that was destroyed by the earthquake which, by the way, I think was a much bigger deal than the communist Chinese are explaining or telling.  GNK is part of that...  I like that stock!  You've got horse sense!

MMR

31.98

na

McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR)

MMR -  The deal with MMR is that I just caught a double for our viewers, because I recommended that natural gas play a year ago... and it really is a terrific, terrific company... The insiders were buying and buying and buying... Did anybody care?  No, except for you Cramericans who bought MMR and stuck with it... I still like that group.

HOC

41.92

na

Holly Corp. (HOC)

HOC -  No, no... You've got the refining operations are a no-go... I include Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), I include Western Refining Inc. (WNR), I include Hess Corporation (HES)... I don't want to get near the refining business... And Tesoro Corporation (TSO), by the way, what an opportunity to sell that one today...

VLO

47.14

na

Valero Energy Corp. (VLO)

See HOC comments above for:
VLO

WNR

8.25

na

Western Refining Inc. (WNR)

See HOC comments above for:
WNR

HES

118.09

na

Hess Corporation (HES)

HES

TSO

24.58

na

Tesoro Corporation (TSO)

See HOC comments above for:
TSO

SYX

20.56

na

Systemax Inc. (SYX)

SYX -  You know, another computer software, label company... It just kind of a pastiche... of companies.  Don't buy, don't buy...  Nothing's special there at all.  When I used to recommend stuff like that, I always hurt people, and I believe that that company is not going to make a good profit for you.  I just don't believe it.

ACI

65.15

na

Arch Coal Inc. (ACI)

ACI -  I think that King Lear, who runs the company, is an ace!...  I think that ACI could go to $80.  I think that ACI... they may not want it here... the democrats may not want it... the forces are aligned not to have it...  but everybody wants ACI's coal overseas...  We are the Saudi Arabia of coal and, if we have to ship it there, then fine...  ACI is a super-dee-duper buy!...  Buy, buy, buy!

Price target:  $80.00

OMG

48.26

na

OM Group Inc. (OMG)

OMG -  No... they just blew the quarter... They blew the quarter really badly.  No, I don't want that.  When they blow a quarter... (buzzer sounds)...  No... I think you should sell that stock.  Sell, sell, sell!  That was a really bad miss, and you can't own stocks that do a really bad miss that are industrial, when there are so many great industrials right now...

PEP

67.25

na

Pepsico, Inc. (PEP)

PEP -  I want you to keep doing it (i.e., accumulating PEP, as the caller indicated he was doing)...  I saw this weekend, the stock is down 12 points.  Indra Nooyi (CEO) is always welcome on my show.  Why?  Because she's one of the most forward-thinking CEOs in the world.  I think PEP's being given away here, given the fact that they're transforming Frito-Lay, and the raw costs aren't that bad.  I think that PEP is a stock you buy, and you keep doing homework, and you put away... I'm sticking with PEP...  I'm sticking with Nooyi...

his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Back up the truck - indicated by Jim, when he says the stock is so good, that he would do a 'mon-back' on the stock... In other words, this is the sound someone would say to a truck driver, "Come on back... " as he is "backing up the truck" to load up on his cargo.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.

Stumped. - Of the 2,000+ stocks that Jim Cramer has in his head, for which he has an informed opinion, he sometimes comes across a caller with a stock he does not know well enough to opine on...  He then indicates he is stumped and will have to come back to it, after he does some homework of his own on the stock.  This usually occurs during the Lightning Round, when Jim does not know in advance who is calling, or what their stock question is about.
 

 
Definitions of key phrases used by Jim, known as "Cramerisms":

Definition:   'Pull the trigger' is Jim's phrase for making the decision at that point to trade - either to 'buy' or to 'sell' (although he usually uses the phrase for buying), as if to say you should feel comfortable enough to make the final decision without looking back...

Definition:   'Ring the Register' is Jim's phrase for selling a stock, and making it a final sale, that you should not look back on.  Put it behind you.

Definition:  'Let It Come In' indicates how you may wait for it to pull back, or have the stock price come down briefly, as your chance (after letting it come in) to buy the rest of your position (i.e., total number of shares you own in that stock).

Definition:  'backing it up' or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's phrase for the metaphor of backing up a truck to load up on a stock by buying it.  'Mon-back is short for the imaginary worker saying, 'Come on back...' as the truck is backing up to receive its load... Notice that we use the little truck icon to indicate where Jim has mentioned this.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.
