(see comments above for
each)
RIO - I don't know, look,
RIO has raised a huge amount of
money to make a bid for a
company... That's why it's been
going down, other than the fact
that the minerals are getting
hammered... I think it's
attractive too, but what happens
if they take all that money and
go away to some company and
overpay?... That's what the
market is saying... Longer term,
I think you're right because
there is mineral shortage
throughout the world... Shorter
term, you have to understand,
when they took down that big
credit line, that's when people
have been freaking out, that's
what we've got to wait for... We
got to see the acquisition
before we buy more.
GR - GR is landing equipment
for airlines and we know that
suddenly that
AMR Corporation (AMR)
can't afford to buy more planes,
United can't buy them... We
obviously know that
Aircastle LTD (AYR)
and
Genesis Lease Limited (GLS)
are hobbled and can't buy
them... The
AIG
(AIG)
division can't buy them, that's
international finance... So
what's happening is that all the
way down the food chain the
horrible pin action from the
fact that the airlines can't
afford to buy planes, has
extended from
Boeing (BA)
to the landing gear to the
engines, in other words, GR,
even at a 52-week low, I don't
trust it yet.
SWKS - Alright, SWKS, that
was David Aldridge... David
Aldridge is stood, we've got a
lot of guys came to the set...
David Aldridge stood right
here... He's the CEO who has
made a remarkable transformation
at SWKS... I remember when it
was spun off from Conexant
brims... Here's the deal with
SWKS... They are in almost all
of the cell phones, so they are
kind of agnostic with cell
phones doing well. That said,
sir, you've got a good game in
SWKS and it was up today... I
expect volatility, which is
genuine
Wall Street jibberish for it could go lower... I
would
schnitzel a little SWKS,
and then be able to buy a little
bit lower.
HSC - HSC is going down
because everyone feels, and this
is a lot of rest of the world
business that the economy
worldwide is going to slow
because the European central
bank is going to start raising
rates... I say that this is
starting to get discounted
pretty heavily in these
stocks... HSC goes all the way
down to $50 seems like it's an
opportunity to buy... But you
know what?... I could say the
same thing about companies like
Eaton, which I like very much...
Emerson, which I like very
much... These are completely
being hammered... I say, don't
give up on them, use wide
scales... I don't want to leave
HSC, I want to buy HSC.
VLO - Nope, nope, nope... We
have not liked the refiners...
We have been scared of the
refiners... We like a lot of
stocks in oil and gas... Now,
the whole oil and gas complex
has been going down for a couple
of days... But we have not liked
the refiners now in a year...
That is one part of the business
that they have not been able to
put through the price
increases... All their margins
are being squeezed... I
continually see people come on
saying I want to call the bottom
in refining... I guess I'm too
old... I remember when there was
20 years where refining didn't
make any money... We're back in
that game... I do not see a
bottom in VLO, I don't want to
touch it. There are so many oil
and gas stocks coming down...
They're good. I don't want to
touch VLO.
VVC - I like it... It's a
distributor of energy, and
that's a very good business and
it's got a good yield... That is
my kind of company in this
environment... It reminds me of
Spectra Energy Corp. (SE)...
I think you've got a winner
there.
SFG - Okay, it's a
financial... But it's a safe
financial... It reminds me very
much of Lincoln Financial,
another safe financial that goes
down... Sometimes we have to
take some pain... That's a
disability insurer... I like
that business... I say hold onto
it... Wait until it gets to $42
or $43 if you want to buy any
more, but do not sell that
stock... It's conservative and
real good.
ENI - I think it's a buy...
This is a Brazilian utility,
actually it's a Latin American
utility company... I like it, I
like it more than
AES Corp. (AES)...
I do not like it as much as CPL,
which is coming all on the way
back... That's the one we got
when we were in Penn State...
But I like the utilities here...
I like Latin America, so I'm
going to say yes to that.
BF-B - I still want to buy
it. Here's what's happening with
BF-B...
Fortune Brands (FO)
blew up, okay?... They just
literally blew up... So analysts
are panicky and downgrading
BF-B... I think that BF-B with
Jack Daniels is a good brand
that's going to be steady...
Unlike Fortune Brands, where I
cannot pull the trigger because
they have all that housing, all
that stuff that goes into
cabinetry... I think that BF-B
is a buy... I want to reload
BF-B and buy some more here...
The analysts are all running
from it, I want to run to it.
HS - No, no... You know, I
am just so gun shy about that
group... After the UNH horrible
number... Let me reiterate, I
want to sell
Unitedhealth Group, Inc.
(UNH),
I don't like HS... I don't want
to touch this healthcare cost
business until after the
election... It's just too high
risk... Now, I know in this
Lightning Round we have a lot of
high risk situations that I'm
concerned about... I want you to
understand, the market is still
going lower, we're not out of
the woods... When the smoke
clears, then we'll a buyer.

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

homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
