Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
KR - I'm concerned
about the supermarkets.
The margins are thin.
They're getting squeezed.
I have not like
Safeway Inc. (SWY),
even though they boosted the
dividend and had announced a
bigger buyback. I have not
like KR, and I have not liked
Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI)...
Don't buy, don't buy... So, I've
got to tell you, I cannot
endorse that group.
FSLR - Now, I want to
see crude down a couple of days,
before I go back in.
Actually, Sanford Bernstein
put out a very good piece
last week that stacked the
things up... FSLR remains the
least expensive way to play
solar, in terms of the actual
product. It is an
expensive stock. It's at
$24 billion in
market cap, but I am a
huge believer that the next
quarter is going to be great,
and the way these stocks work -
it's a momentum stock - is that,
if that quarter is great, that
stock's going to run, so I want
you to stay in, but I want you
to buy more lower (in price,
from where it is now).
IMAX - I have been
wrong on IMAX. I'm
surprised to see that stock be
moving so well... I
continue to think don't buy.
A lot of people are playing this
as a better way to play movie
theater companies, because the
movie theater companies are
being squeezed at the one place
they make the most money...
which is at the concession
stand. A very good article
about popcorn prices... Oh man,
Ad Age?... USA Today? I
read a lot of publications on
Monday, but there was a good
popcorn piece... Don't
buy, don't buy...
SINA - Now I've got to
admit... that's a good one.
I have been staying away from
China, because it's too
volatile. I had liked
SINA... I had liked
Baidu.com (BIDU)...
but, right now... don't buy,
don't buy... you're going to
have to do it without me,
because I don't want to get back
into China. It's too
explosive, it's too crazy, and I
am afraid that I will cost
people money. It's too
speculative for me.
FLR - The stock
exploded! It exploded last
week, and then tacked on more
points today. At this
point, we've got to say, don't
buy... Because bulls make
money, bears make money and hogs
get slaughtered. Don't
buy, don't buy... I would say,
ring the register on FLR, and cycle
back into
Foster Wheeler (FWLT*),
under $70... and I think you'll
do better than just holding onto
FLR here. It's too hot for
me... it's parabolic.
IP - No, no... I
like
Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY)
more... I like more... I
like
Temple-Inland Inc. (TIN)
more... and I like Packaging
Corp. of America (PKG)
more... I looked at all of
these stocks before I
pulled the trigger on those three...
IP is just not that good.
It's not that well-run... It
keeps doing a lot of silly
things. It just bought
WY's commodity business.
Ix-nay IP...
Definitely not!
THOR - I do not know
THOR. What I will do is
now open the research file...
I will now read the research...
I will now read
the Qs... I will read the
stories, and then I will come
back...
Memo to staff... THOR...
EMKR - A fiber optic
play... Uh... middling,
middling... don't want to go...
Don't buy, don't buy... I
just feel like it's an
overcrowded segment...
(buzzer sounds)... The only one
I like of the telco suppliers
right now is
ADC Telecommunications Inc.
(ADCT).
I liked it here before they did
a convert deal (i.e., a
convertible bond offering).
It crushed the stock. Now
the stock is back. My
recommendation is ADCT.
RRI - I don't know...
a merchant of power. Not
my favorite... I like Mirant
Corp. (MIR)
more than I like RRI. But
I would steer you toward DYN,
which is a company we've liked
for a long time. Every
time it goes below $8, we
recommend it. It's above
$9 now. It's got a very
interesting situation with
natural gas, where it's cheaper
than the rest. Don't go
with RRI... go with DYN.

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.
