(see comments above for
each)
YGE - Listen to me...
We have been riding the
First Solar (FSLR)
horse... You ain't seen
nothing yet... FSLR, at a
52-week high today. The
only business model with thin
film so, therefore, they can
ramp the numbers. FSLR is
your play! Not YGE, not
LDK Solar Co.Ltd. (LDK),
not
Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR)...
I did miss
Energy Conversion Devices (ENER),
though, but I'm not going to
shoot myself about it...
WAVE - No...
Skip the WAVE... That's like
Clearwire (CLWR)...
Sell, sell, sell!... I'm giving
you a two-fer... a two-fer sell.
Those stocks are poisonous!
RAME - You know, I
looked at RAME... This is one...
and the reason why I looked at
it is very funny... There was a
very good article today in the
Wall Street Journal about the
hedge funds looking at the
little natural gas... This
stock, the last time I looked at
it, was under our
(recommendation standard) $250
million threshold... It
just now passed over... I like
it. I don't want to go
crazy on it, when I've got fine
stocks like APA and
Devon Energy (DVN)
pulling back. I'd rather
see you in a major than a
minor... although I like that
for speculation purposes.
BMY - BMY is an
opportunity! That's what
it is! It's trading
$21-23... Everyone's worried
about Plavix coming off...
They're selling companies...
They're going to be
IPO-ing their baby food... I think this
company is worth $28-30, and
you're paid to wait, with that
bountiful dividend. Do not
give up on BMY!
EDS - No! We got
that. You
ring the register... I like
Mark Hurd (CEO of
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ),
which is acquiring EDS)...
I'm in the camp which says that
this may not be that great an
idea yet. We are not
arbitragers... Sell, sell,
sell! Don't be
greedy! Bulls make money,
bears make money, and hogs get
slaughtered. You're being
greedy. Move on...
HSY - Very
difficult... because, on this
show, we do not recommend stocks
on a takeover basis. They
have to have good fundamentals
to get a takeover. Now, we
don't like the fundamentals of
HSY, so I'm going to give it a
don't buy... I
know... it's historically cheap,
but why not buy a
Heinz (HNZ),
which we like so much? Why
not buy a
General Mills Inc. (GIS),
which is doing so much better?
Those are two... Hey, look
at
Pepsi (PEP)
coming down every day... Indra
Nooyi (CEO of PEP) is not that
bad. Let's stop that, and
buy some PEP for heaven's sake!
Buy, buy, buy! I also like
Procter & Gamble (PG)...
CAT - I like CAT... I
think CAT's terrific, and I like
the weakness. I wrote an
article today, saying that
Deere (DE)
hurts CAT... that's
ridiculous... Forget DE, I
want to buy CAT! CAT, at
$81, is a screamin' buy...
screamin' buy...
DD - I saw news about
DD and seeds today. It was
extraordinary...
(buzzer sounds)... a lot of new
patents being files, a great
dividend... The company's been
able to rearrange its whole
pastiche of businesses, much
more toward biofuels and
insulation... DD is a miraculous
turnaround company. It
never gets enough credit, and I
am determined to get people into
DD, as I have since it was at
$45.
GS* - First of all,
may I just say that Lloyd
Blankfein (CEO)... Why do we pay
so much attention to those that
don't make money? Lloyd
Blankfein has consistently made
money, and he is the most
underpaid man on Wall Street...
He's an underpaid man and, the
fact is, every single penny that
he has he's made for you too...
I am a bull on Lloyd
Blankfein... I am a bull on GS*.
I own it for
my charitable trust... I'm not
selling the stock. I think
the stock goes through $200.
I think you should stick with
GS*...
Price target: It goes
through $200.00

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.
