Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
CPST - You know I like
speculation for 20% of your
portfolio. The stock hits
a 52-week high of $4.12.
Have you ever made that money at
the movies?... At the
racetrack?... When you go
out to a restaurant?...
No. This is the greatness
of the market. CPST has
got mini turbines. They're
back. They're right with
these energy prices. I
want you to do this. You
are now playing with the house's
money. Bulls make money,
bears make money, hogs get
slaughtered. If you cut
the position in half, that's
what you must do. Sell
half, and let the rest run.
Congratulations!
JRCC - Now here's
where my disciplines cross...
I am so bullish on JRCC... I
remain bullish on ACI... You
know I like BTU... JRCC is
great. Here's the
problem... What do you have?...
Like a triple in that! I
need you to remember that bulls
make money, bears make money,
and hogs get slaughtered.
You too must take off at least a
third of that position... Why
not half, like I told (the
previous caller)?... Because
Capstone (CPST)
is speculative. JRCC
isn't. You take off one
third... we go up again, you
take off another third... and
then you play with the house's
money. Congratulations.
Once again, I remind people...
listen to these callers...
listen to the amount of money
they are making, and you too -
if you do your homework - can
make that kind of money.
Let's get involved in the stock
market...
APOG - The earnings
could be problematic, because
they've got the automotive
business, but I do believe that
this company has superior
technology, and I do believe
that it's a buy. Now, it's
not an aggressive buy, like I
would tell you, if it were one
of the natural gas companies.
This is a nice, steady
long-term... we've got to
keep checking in... but I'm not
backing away. I think
APOG's good. I think it's
good.
WMT* - WMT* happens to
be a stock I own for
my charitable trust... I think
that WMT* is so good, at $58,
that I cannot have you sell it.
WMT*,
TJX (TJX),
Costco (COST),
and
Urban Outfitters (URBN)
are all working. I see
WMT* going to $63. I do
like
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
(BMY)'s
yield. I do think they'd
sell themselves before they let
that company go down the
drain... But I cannot have
you sell WMT*. It is too
good.
NOG - I happen to be
with Chris Matthews, my friend
from Philadelphia. He just
came back from North Dakota.
He was telling me about the oil
and gas situation and how it's
booming. I then pulled the
files and, sure enough, you've
got a great one in NOG.
Now, just to be clear,
Continental Resources Inc.
(CLR)
is better than your one... but
CLR has now tripled, and yours
hasn't yet. I want you to
own it, I want you to stick with
it...
NT - No, no, no...
You've got a great opportunity
(to sell)... They claim that
they're getting focused and
doing stuff... Sell, sell,
sell... You know what...
great. Take the money and
run. Be like Steve
Miller... That's a Steve Miller
stock.
CXO - You know, when
that was brought out, I wanted
to recommend it... but how many
oil and gas plays can I
recommend? You've got a
winner... That is a terrific
situation... CXO...
(buzzer sounds)... There
are so many great oil and gas
companies, and people say, well
Jim, why don't you recommend
Citigroup (C)?...
Or Jim, isn't it time to
pull the trigger on
Wachovia (WB)?...
Or, Jim, how about
Washington Mutual (WM),
at $6?... No. Those
have no value. The natural
gas and oil plays have value.
I salute our listeners for
continuing to bring us names
like WT and CXO. Those are
terrific.
DOW - I like the
yield. I recommended the
stock at $36. It's got a
bountiful yield. Here's
the problem... They are the
largest buyer of natural gas in
the world... I am not kidding.
And, because of that, I can't
ask you to buy anymore here.
Don't buy, don't buy... If
it goes back to a 4.5% yield,
we'll recommend it again, but
they need natural gas lower, and
all the other stocks we talk
about on the show need natural
gas higher. It's actually
an interesting hedge to the
other stocks. That might
be an interesting idea.
GW - GW is played out.
We liked that stock at $6.
Now we've got it at $9.
We've got a takeover going.
We are not
arbitragers... Sell, sell,
sell... You've got to find
the next GW. GW is done.
Take the profits. Take the
money and run... another Steve
Miller song...

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.
