each) |
|
 |
PX |
97.44 |
97.80 |
Praxair Inc. (PX)
PX - (Caller asked
about it as a play on hydrogen
as the new
environmentally-favored fuel)...
I love that as a reason to own
Air Products
(APD)
and I love that as a reason to
own PX. I love it as a
reason to own
Airgas (ARG).
It is too, unfortunately, pie in
the sky... The answer is the
here and now. The gas
business is on fire, because of
infrastructure and because of
the need for manufacturing.
And all three of those,
including and especially I would
say APD, but yours is absolutely
great. I would buy any of
those. They have been
stocks we have been recommending
for multiple years. People
don't understand how good their
businesses are, and we reiterate
buy, right here, right now, ARG,
APD and PX.

BDK* |
58.09 |
58.36 |
Black & Decker (BDK*)
BDK* - All right, I
pulled the trigger just
today... and bought some more
BDK* for
my charitable trust... Am I
just a guy who likes to get
whipped?... Am I a guy who likes
a beating? No. I am
a guy who says not every stock
goes up at once, and I have to
prepare myself for the
inevitable one day, recognizing
that the (problem with) housing
prices will be over, and I have
nothing in
my charitable trust that has
anything to do with housing,
except for BDK*. It almost
yields 3%. It's got a
crystal-clear balance sheet.
It's only a $3.5 billion
company. When you see that
kind of valuation, and you
recognize that the Euro has gone
up so much, that a European
company would be a darn fool not
to buy it at the equivalent of
$2.5 billion, if you factor out
the currency... And I say
to myself, okay... $3 down, and
$20 up (i.e.,
risk/reward), and I am
willing to take those
consequences! We may look
back at BDK* one day and say,
"that was easy"... but it sure
doesn't feel like that now.

APWR |
29.29 |
30.00 |
A-Power Energy Generation
(APWR)
APWR - APWR is a
monster... Now, this is a
stock that I have been loathe to
recommend, but everyone knows
that I've been recommending
these wind power stocks.
This is an alternative energy
play from China. Now,
China's in a bear market, but
I've been saying to people...
that this one's a winner.
I think you did the right thing,
though. I think you take a
little profit, because bulls
make money, bears make money,
and hogs get slaughtered.
That said, I want to own this,
and wind power, by the way, a
great article in the Financial
Times... great article in
Investor's Business Daily... I
recommend both articles to
people who want to understand
the wind story. The wind
story is fabulous and getting
better and better and better.

KMB |
62.10 |
62.04 |
Kimberly-Clark Corp. (KMB)
KMB - Listen... a
diaper is largely
polypropylene... it's all the
polys... there's so much oil in
that darn thing. Now
here's the problem... With KMB,
at $62, you say, hold it, why
don't I want to buy that great
brand name, with almost a 4%
yield, a clean balance sheet and
good brands? And the
answer is, it's got too much
oil. If you want to own
diapers, I'll recommend
Procter & Gamble (PG),
because at least that has
diversification, but I will tell
you right now, as long as oil
goes up, KMB will not go up.
The same with
Clorox (CLX).
It worries me. They worry
me.

YRCW |
17.68 |
17.81 |
YRC Worldwide Inc. (YRCW)
YRCW - Here's the
deal... I think that Bill
Zollars (CEO) has finally pulled
it off. He's delivered a
great quarter. I think
it's the first of many good
quarters. I congratulate
him. The stock's been in a
funk for about 30 points, and I
think it's starting to rally...
and I would
pull the trigger on YRCW...
(buzzer sounds)... It's a
big international company now.
We saw what happened with
FedEx (FDX)
and, because of FDX, that stock
wasn't up too. I think it
will be up too. I
recommend that stock.

GRMN |
43.09 |
43.45 |
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN)
GRMN - No! Man,
that's a commodity! I have
been recommending to sell that
stock since the Christmas
holidays and I reiterate that
there's nothing there.
Everybody can make global
positioning stuff... I could
make it in my kitchen!
Sell, sell, sell!

|
|
SLT |
18.77 |
18.97 |
Sterlite Industries India
Ltd. (SLT)
SLT - An Indian
company that does minerals...
trying to get involved via
Sarco... I think it's a
forward-looking company.
The Indian market has been in a
bear market. I've been not
recommending Indian stocks or
Chinese stocks, because they
have been in a bear market.
That said, if you want to
penetrate the bear and own one,
it might as well be SLT, because
that's certainly going to do
better than
Tata (TTM).

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. |
