ARLP

Alliance Resource Partners LP (ARLP)

ARLP -  Hey, listen...  It could be Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU)...  It could be Massey Energy Co. (MEE).... It could be James River Coal Co. (JRCC), though not my favorite...  It could be Arch Coal Inc. (ACI), which has been one of our favorites and we love having the CEO on...  In other words, it is coal!  And let's not forget EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG).  I've been slighting EOG.  Those are all winners and, one...  I shouldn't have added EOG... I mean that for natural gas...  Let me just say this about coal, once again...  They're not building any coal plants in America, so what people immediately think is, now wait a second...  Why would he ever recommend a coal stock?  The Chinese are no longer exporters of coal... they're importers.  BTU exports to them...  Why do you think the railroad stocks are good?  We're shipping our coal to China, because we won't burn it here, and those stocks are going higher still!

PM*

Philip Morris International (PM*)

PM* -  Alright, now in full disclosure, I play with an open hand, I got both PM and MO, in other words I got Phillip Morris Intl and Altria when they spun them off, okay? They split company into international and domestic. I want it to yield. What am I speaking of? I am speaking of my charitable trust. We're beating the market nicely, but still losing money in full disclosure... And, I decided to sell the PM, why?... I wanted the yield, I wanted the 5.5% yield. I like dividends. PM is more of a growth stock. I do like them both. It was hard for me to part, but 10% of my trust was in tobacco and that's not going to fly. I do like PM and you've got growth and are going to get some great numbers.

GGB

23.12

na

Gerdau S.A. (GGB)

GGB -  No, no, no, no. GGB, Brazil's been weaker lately, that makes no sense to sell. Buy, buy, buy. I want you to step up to the plate and buy more. I think Brazil is . I think that Brazil has come down because we have come down... But they've got inflation better than we have, better under control. I like their growth, I like their energy policy. No, we're not selling Brazil.

CBRL

23.20

na

CBRL Group Inc. (CBRL)

CBRL -  They are the Cracker Barrel. They are doing everything right and it doesn't matter. Why doesn't it matter?... Because in the end, people aren't driving. In the end, people aren't spending. In the end, the Cracker Barrel little chatckas they sell on the outside, not moving. I think this company is a great company, they bought a lot of stock back... But in the end, they are on the Interstate and you just don't feel rich anymore when you're on the Interstate, unless you're driving a Mini Cooper.

 

       

OSK

22.16

na

Oshkosh Truck Corp. (OSK)

OSK -  They really missed the quarter. That was a first class miss. Now, we've liked navastar on this program, we have not been a big fan of OSK. I am actually like OSK, that was an out of control bad. Now typically, when I get out of control bad, like Nike and Research in Motion... What do I say?... It's time, buy, buy, buy. But that one, no. I'm not buying it. That was inexplicable, that miss, inexplicable... And it claimed it was all Western Europe, I'm not buying it. I want to see another quarter.

SIM

17.65

na

Grupo Simec S.A.B. de C.V. (SIM)

SIM -  I know them. I like that company. Remember my Peke alert I like US Steel, then I like NewCorp, and then I like Reliance. I think Reliance may have hit a 52 week high today. So why reach down? I like the GGB from Brazil. But I've got the winners. I'm sticking with my winners. Every one of my stell companies is on fire. I'd rather go with my three. Once again, let's repeat them. US Steel, John Serma, Penn State, February Vault, Wildcatters... And we like the NewCorp, because Dan Dimeco, I saw him on yesterday on a fabulous show... And then Reliance, 52 week high, what's not to like?

JRJC

15.67

na

China Finance Online Co. Ltd. (JRJC)

JRJC -  No, no, no, no. Remember, we don't buy, we have not been recommending, other than Gushan, I'm not recommending and have not been recommending for the full year any Chinese stocks. That's in a horrible bear market and I do not trust the communist Chinese. I still call them as I see them. I won't own any of their stocks, I will not stick with any of their stocks.

his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio

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.
