Introductory comments from Jim:
JJC: Before we
get started, I'd like to do a
little housekeeping... I like to
own up to everything...
Last week, Beverly in Colorado
asked about
Gen-Probe Inc. (GPRO),
and I recommended
Thermo Fisher Scientific,
Inc. (TMO)...
the scientific instruments
powerhouse... It is really
my bad, and I am whipping
myself. But, we've got to
correct...
(Ed. Note: We don't know
what to conclude from these
comments... )
AOB - I have been
consistently negative about AOB,
even though it does sound like
the ultimate biotech,
Monsanto (MON),
Syngenta (SYT)
play... It isn't.
Sell, sell, sell!... I
don't want to own it. I
have been adamant that this is
one of the Chinese stocks that I
just wish would go away...
There is way too much
speculation over in China, and
I've got to tell you, my take
is, you don't want to own AOB.
V - Too late... too
late. The money's been
made on Visa... We don't
need to go back.
Mastercard
(MA)
is acting a little long in the
tooth, but I like MA more than
V. We got in on the V IPO
and then we said
ring the register and we're not
looking back. We like MA
more than V and we're always
happy to take a profit, which is
a lot better than a sharp stick
in the eye.
TTM - Ta, ta for
now... Remember, we
decided to leave India a year
ago. The market got
overheated. We have been
staying away from that stock
since $19. We recommended
it at $14, when they had the
tragic terrorist attack...
When it went to $19, we said
take the money off the table.
We are not looking back.
We don't want anything India...
If you feel like you need to be
in a consultant, then go to
Accenture Ltd. (ACN),
which reported a blowout quarter
last week, and is cheap as all
get out.
YGE - I said to avoid
this company. There are
people who consistently play it
in the CNBC game. This is
a communist Chinese photovoltaic
company. Do I need to say
anything more? This is
absolutely not for our viewers.
And, if anyone's still fooling
around with YGE, I suggest you
go buy a Yeungling, which is a
darn good Pennsylvania beer.
BJRI - No, no...
This restaurant game has gotten
really impossible. There
are only a handful of companies
that are able to beat this
environment. We know that
Darden Restaurants (DRI)
did last week, and we salute
them... We're going to be
looking at a couple of others
later in this week, but I've got
to tell you, no...
ix-nay on the restaurant...
And let me throw in, by the way,
I don't like any of the
retailers either, because this
is one monumentally-difficult
market for the consumer, and
we're not going to compound it
by owning a lot of stocks that
are levered to consumer
spending, like BJRI. We
like
BJ (BJS),
the oil company... symbol BJS...
it's been one of our faves...
52-week high... and we like
BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. (BJ)...
But we are not going to get into
BJRI.
REXX - Listen, I was
just up there in Williamsport.
I'm telling you, they're
drilling like mad in that
Marcellus Shale. And I've
got to tell you, my wildcat
portfolio is up gigantic versus
the S&P... and I want to
stay in it... I want to stay in
REXX. Now, remember, REXX
is the most speculative one of
all these. The least
speculative one for Marcellus is
Chesapeake (CHK)
which is Aubrey McClennan's
(CEO) stock. He has
traditionally been a buyer.
Everyone bemoans how bad the
quarter is. That stock was
up $1.87 today. It's up
huge this year. I'm tired
of the griping and the crying...
We said it's the year of natural
gas, and we're sticking by it.
CSIQ - No... On Mad
Money, we don't care where it
came from, we care where it's
going... and the answer is
down... Sell, sell, sell!...
I don't want to own that stock.
I have endorsed
Applied Materials (AMAT)
as a low-risk solar play...
(buzzer sounds)...
and
First Solar (FSLR)
as the aggressive one. And
the FSLR conundrum of insider
selling has been solved.
We checked it out, we believe in
it. I still think that, if
Obama gets in, FSLR's your play.
Now, if McCain gets in, you can
forget about FSLR. And,
because of the fact that Obama's
winning in the polls right now,
I feel like we've got some edge.
ED - Can I just say
that ED, at $38 today, was a
joke... it was a
travesty... I cannot believe
that stock got this low. A
6% yield... What do people
think... people are going to
stop putting their lights in New
York City?... That was
extraordinary, that buy...
One of the things is... and I
don't mean to be political on
the show... One of the concerns
is that, if Obama wins, what you
will see is a complete scrapping
of the favorable dividend
treatment of stocks, which will
then make the situation with ED
worth less. My take is
this... and I want to be really,
really clear... ED, below
$40, is a solid extreme buy, and
I want to pick some up. I
want to stick with ED.
VFC - By the way, I
want to stick with VFC which
just pre-announced a
better-than-expected quarter...
How much do we like Eric Wiseman
(CEO)... He has been our
wise man in apparel...

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.
