Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each) |
|
 |
BMY |
19.67 |
na |
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
(BMY)
BMY - Another one
they're giving away! And
with a 5% yield, and a great
pipeline, and not problems with
generics for another couple of
years... I don't
understand, America... When you
can buy BMY or
Merck (MRK),
and I don't like
Pfizer (PFE)...
It's not every drug stock that I
like... When you can buy a
BMY or a MRK, and get a 4%
yield, and a 5% yield, on a
crystal-clear balance sheet, and
some great drugs in the
pipeline, I say you've got to
buy it... I say you've got to
pull the trigger... I do not think
you'll make money between now
and the election. After
the election is over, you're
going to make as much money as I
did in 1992, when Clinton was
bashing the drug stocks, and
then they had their historic
run, when you got in.

na |
Pfizer (PFE)
See BMY comments above for:
PFE
|
|
|
CFX |
23.02 |
na |
Colfax Corporation (CFX)
CFX - This is fluid
handling... fluid handling, I
like... and this company is one
of the newer companies that is
part of my "new technology"
names. The symbol for
people is CFX... I think they
should do the work... You
know how I feel about "new
technology"... actually
solving mankind's problems with
different processing techniques,
of which CFX is part of it.
|
|
|
CMED |
39.28 |
na |
China Medical Technologies
(CMED)
CMED - You know, CMED
today had a great quarter today,
and I felt bad... I made a lot
of money for people in CMED.
We recommended it... it went
up... and then we took it off
the buy list, and quite frankly,
I forgot about it, because I am
not interested in recommending
any communist Chinese stocks
right now, and CMED is one of
them. I am not tempted by
any stock in China. I am
going to miss some, like I just
missed CMED... But I don't care.
Don't buy, dont' buy...
|
|
|
|
|
CBI |
40.97 |
na |
Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI)
CBI - Of all the ones
you just mentioned... that was
the one that really blew the
quarter. They did a bad
job. You can't go with
that one. I know it looks
cheapest. It's down on its
luck. It looks like it's
got to be the buy... Every one
of those that you mentioned
(i.e.,
Jacobs (JEC),
Foster Wheeler (FWLT*),
Shaw Group (SGR),
Fluor Corporation (FLR)
and CBI)... Every single one,
because they're delivering
consistent earnings, and these
guys didn't. I really am
begging CBI. All the
others are doing good.
Don't buy the runt of the
infrastructure litter!

JEC |
86.00 |

Jacobs Engineering Group,
Inc. (JEC)

Foster Wheeler (FWLT*)

Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)

FLR |

na |
Fluor Corporation (FLR)
See CBI comments above for:
FLR
|
|
|
IP |
24.73 |
na |
International Paper (IP)
IP - Yes... sell.
I think management there has
systematically let people
down... Sell, sell, sell!... for
multiple years... I do not feel
there's a lot of upside... (buzzer sounds)...
IP was a great American company,
and it has just consistently
failed to deliver. They
always come on TV too...
Hey, memo to International
Paper... Stop coming on TV until
you get your act together...
It's like embarrassing.
Just stay at home. No
one's going to get mad at you...
Spare yourself the
embarrassment.
|
|
|
XOM |
87.06 |
na |
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
XOM - This is a
confluence disciplines. I
like XOM and I like oil and
gas... so I'm bullish on the
stock... If all you own is
XOM, it doesn't matter how great
XOM is. You've got to
diversify. I would like
you to cut back that position
and not put new money in it.
So diversification trumps any
sort of stock appreciation that
I think you'll be getting from
any individual stock. That
said, XOM is a great company,
and oil and gas is going higher.
So stick with XOM... pare it
back if it's the only one you
have.

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. |
