WB - Thompson (former
CEO) was about an inch away from
getting on my
Wall of Shame...
He was this close... but you
know what they did to him,
before I could put him on the
Wall of Shame?... They axed him!
I think that board was so close
to him, that things must be much
worse than I think... But,
bottom line is, I still cannot
recommend WB. They paid
$50 billion for Golden West...
You say, wait a second, it was
only $25. No, they lost an
additional $25 billion, when
they gave the Sandlers all that
money. Shame on them!
Shame on the board! Shame
on WB!
PCL - I've always
liked PCL. As a matter of
fact, I wish that Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY)
would do that (well)...
WY, now under where I
recommended it... It's starting
to really be a house of pain for
me. I think PCL has got a
nice dividend, got a nice
business going. It's a
good yield play. I'm not
against it, I'm for it.
ABK - Oh man!...
I am your realtor! I would
have kept you out of that house
of pain! That is one
nauseating stock...
(buzzer sounds)... There
is a stock, ABK, and there's
another stock, MBIA Inc. (MBI)...
Could I be more bearish on them?
And people still aren't
listening. My friend,
buddy, pal... get off the island
of pain... I release you
from ABK, and I recommend that
you lower your taxes by taking
the sell, sell, sell!...
EGY - This is a
company that, at one point, I
regarded as dicey, because it's
oil is off the west coast of
Africa... often thought to be an
area where maybe it is too
difficult to get at, both
politically and at depths...
I think that's wrong. I've
been recommending it since $4.
I reiterate that EGY's a buy,
with oil at $127. How
about that reversal...
HIMX - Oh man... you
come with that little
speculative nonsense?...
For liquid crystal displays...
Well let me tell you
something... you want liquid
crystal displays, I'm going to
give you one of the greatest
American companies in new tech,
old tech, and that is Corning Inc. (GLW*),
which I own for
my charitable trust... and I
refuse to sell, because I think
that there's more upside.
That's my LCD play.

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
