(see comments above for

RIG - First,
Transocean has the biggest
number of rigs. They're
trying to tie up all of the
Transocean rigs. Be
careful. The stock jumped
up 15 points from that Petroban
news. So now, it's come
back down. You know we
like RIG. We've been
liking RIG since $70. It's
been one of the biggest wins
we've had in Cramerica.
The second one is one I've been
buying, and buying somewhat
aggressively, for
my charitable trust...
another name we like... We liked
it at $70. It then went up
and split... It's now at
$80. That's
National Oilwell Varco (NOV*),
the largest maker of rigs.
The government should never have
allowed National Oil Varco to
merge with Prideco... because
they basically have a
monopoly... that's right, a
monopoly... The answer
is... NOV* is probably my best
pick... and I was salivating
that it would go under $80, so I
could
pull the trigger and buy more.
HOG - Here's my
take... I think Harley-Davidson
has been hit and hit and hit off
of a weak consumer... and, you
know what?... I see it
stabilizing... I see that this
stock has flatlined at $40 long
enough for me to think that it's
a floor. Pretty soon, I'm
actually going to
pull the trigger and recommend HOG
again, because it is a great
American brand name, with a weak
dollar that people like, so I'm
still in 'don't buy' camp...
but, boy am I ever warming up to
that one...
UMBF - You know, maybe
it's because it's got
consulting... maybe it's because
it's got other things just
besides straight banking...
(buzzer sounds)... This
thing sells at twice book
(value). Almost no
financials sell at twice book.
This thing is one of the few
regional banks... I want to be
very clear... This one may be as
good as Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK).
I don't know it well enough,
other than to say that it's done
great, and it is just one of the
few bank stocks that's done
well, and I thank you for
bringing it to my attention.
HOLX - I think they're
getting their arms around what
went wrong... I would
welcome HOLX's management back
on (the show). They were
on for a bunch of good quarters.
Then we had that really bad
quarter, where we saw that the
Scitek merger apparently is not
working out that well.
That gave me cold feet. It
reminds me very much of the
Inverness Medical (IMA)
merger... I didn't count
on either of these mergers not
going well. HOLX seems to
be getting its arms around it.
I am in the 'don't buy' camp
until the CEO comes on, and we
can be sure that the "all clear"
can be sounded. Otherwise,
we need to see the next quarter,
and I would encourage you not to
build that position. It's
too dicey.
VSE - Oh boy... Oh
man... I hate to be this
negative. May I just say
that that was one of the crop of
stocks that took advantage of
the craze that was ethanol, that
I don't think is coming back...
that I want to just say that I
think you should sell...
Sell, sell, sell!...

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

homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
