(see comments above for each)

DE*

76.37

77.14

Deere (DE*)

DE -  No, no, I free you from the house of pain. I bought some of that stock just today for my charitable trust... where I sent up an email, I just finished up my roundup for that... I have to tell you I think DE down 18 straight points is a buy, not a sell. That stocks is only a $33 billion dollar company, and it is the world's greatest ag equipment stock. When we have a famine, and we use corn products to make ethanol... I don't want you to give up on DE, DE's come down and it's a great level, I want you to pull the trigger. The sellers, they know nothing. I'm a buyer.

WMB

38.15

38.12

Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB)

WMB -  You know I like WMB, come on. I like WMB... I'll give you a two-fer... I like Willbros Group (WG)... Boy, that stock has moved unbelievably since we recommended it.  And I like WMB.  And I've got to tell you something, it ain't ending... it ain't ending with this natural gas situation... People want it to end yesterday, and tried to crash it down $12 and a half dollars... and they couldn't do it. They're wrong, we're right.  Buy it.

HOLX

22.96

22.97

Hologic Inc. (HOLX)

HOLX -  Here's my opinion...  When the CEO comes back on after what looks now to be an acquisition that didn't work... The side tech... Then I will try to get behind it again... But he has to come on.  When everything was good, he came on...  Now things aren't so good and I'm nervous (about) Hologic.

NM

9.62

9.75

Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NM)

NM -  Listen up, you're a young fellow, so you still got a chance here.  You know what shipping company we recommend... We recommend Frontline Ltd. (FRO)... Because you can learn from everyone.  I learned from Dan, the unbelievable bartender at Roots... don't look at this stock, 25 points ago... I have been recommending and recommending and recommending it, and what happened today?  52-week high.  What's the yield?... 15%. I'll see you're stock and raise it, Frontline, FRO.  My gift to you...

FRO

WMT*

56.26

56.60

Wal-Mart (WMT*)

WMT* -  You just froze me. I'm not allowed to buy stocks for my charitable trust if they're mentioned for five days...  And I've got to tell you something... I wanted to buy some more WMT*.  This stock is a gift out here.  WMT*, Costco (COST), TJX (TJX), Urban Outfitters (URBN)... The only retailers I'm recommending, the rest of the group is a sell, sell, sell.  WMT* is a buy, buy, buy.  A house of pleasure, and I love it.   That's retail... My retail is WMT*.

COST

MTW

37.40

37.51

Manitowoc Co. Inc. (MTW)

MTW -  They are trying to spend too much money.  They're trying to buy a company that's in this business, this food service business.  They are competing.  I've got to tell you something...  This company has absolutely shot itself in the foot.  It was absolutely one of my favorite companies before this, the acquisition...  And I've got to tell you...  I like Bucyrus (BUCY), and I like Joy Global (JOYG), in that industrial machinery business...  That's the way to go.  I also like Cummins Inc. (CMI).

WFR

65.13

65.80

MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR)

WFR -  No, I disliked this company ever since they pre-announced a couple months ago... I had to be on Squawk with Joe and Becky and Carl...  I don't want to touch WFR, as a matter of fact, you're lucky it's up in the $60's...  You can sell it on Monday.

SWN*

45.57

45.82

Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN*)

SWN* -  We're buying SWN*...  Are you kidding me?...  I bought some the other day for my charitable trust. You're pulling the trigger right here...  That is the cheapest natural gas play.  Everyone's focused on Haynesville, and Fayetteville or Marcellus (oil shale fields)... Let's not forget the Barnett Shale, the richest of all, and that's what SWN* dominates.  I want you to buy SWN*. I want you to stick with SWN*.

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

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.
