Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
TIVO - All right, TIVO is
run by a guy I have known for a
long time named Tom Rogers...
He's an excellent manager...
He's managed to move that stock
up about 50%... I am neither
fish nor fowl TIVO... I think
it's an okay situation... I
don't think it's great... A lot
of law suits have been going
back and forth, and they all
seem to be going in TIVO's
direction... I'm in the don't
buy camp... I'm a buyer at the
$5 level.
EBAY - I was
flabbergasted... Here I thought
EBAY was becoming a mass
merchant that people would use
in hard times, although, people,
of course, just don't go into
retail... Did anyone notice that
the stores are still jammed?...
I do... Now here's the deal...
EBAY has the gross margin...
EBAY has volumes coming down...
It doesn't matter what people
do, they just don't like the
stock... Now get this,
Google (GOOG)
is a buy off of YHOO's good
news... I mean YHOO actually had
a lot... I actually like GOOG
very much here... I think
Research
In Motion (RIMM)
is good, now that AAPL's out of
the way... I think the new
Research in Motion will be good,
we saw
AT&T (T)
now... But that brings me to the
one ".com" I can't get behind...
and that is EBAY, even though it
has a lot of capital... Someone
should buy them and put them out
of their misery.
CRME - CRME, you know, I'm
going to defer... There was a
fellow who was on the wonderful
and fabulous 9 to 11 show, also
with Mark Haines, who
recommended this stock... They
have had a big win... But you
know what, I don't like, it's
too small for me to really give
you a view on and it's had a
very big run... I'm going to
defer to others on that one... I
am not wishy-washy, there are
other people who know more about
CRME than I do.
FCEL - Too speculative, too
speculative... A lot of these
alternative energy plays are
just going to get smashed if
gasoline goes to $3.50 and if
oil goes to $119, which is my
price target... I'm going to
stay away from FCEL... Let's get
some I like here.
SMS - Scrap steel is going
down along with the rest of
steel... Everyone says that this
business has rolled over... We
heard it from the man himself...
I thought he told a good
picture... I think the second
half of the year going to be
strong for steel, obviously
along with natural gas plunge
and oil plunge and commodity
plunge and copper plunge...
Everyone is selling steel too...
Can we take a little long-term
perspective and realize that
there aren't enough group
operators out there... SMS is a
buy.
F - I think both F and
General Motors
(GM)
are doing some drastic things to
be able to make things better,
including becoming much more of
an export driven and foreign car
maker... I have been staying
away from F and GM because
they're too speculative... I am
beginning to warm up again to
the F and GM preferreds... I am
not there yet... I do believe
that F is a decent spec... If it
were Friday, I'd be saying you
could expect F $6-7, but the
balance sheet is bad, they need
to refinance... I am not going
to get aggressive.
MSFT - You know, I have a
hard time getting behind MSFT
here to be honest... I didn't
see much in the quarter... I
kind of feel like it's a bank...
I like
Research
In Motion (RIMM)
more, I like
Amazon.com (AMZN)
more... I thought it was a good
quarter after the bell... I am
not recommending
Apple (AAPL)
but I like AAPL more... And I
certainly like
Google (GOOG)
more... Those are the ones I
like more than MSFT.
ENS - I like this as a
speculative play... Remember, I
think that even if oil goes to
$70, now, by the way, the last
time
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
was at this price, oil was at
$70... The last time
ConocoPhillips (COP)
was at this price, oil was at
$80... Those stocks are
forecasting a dramatically lower
decline... I don't think we get
there, that's why I mention I
bought 100 shares of a natural
gas stock today for
my charitable trust... Here's what
I think... ENS is a battery
company, it's like
Sociedad Quimica
(SQM)...
I think battery technology is
the way of the future... It's
like wind, it's like battery,
I'm sticking with it.
CI - You know, CI is the
best of that healthcare group...
Of those, I like CI more than I
like
Aetna Inc. (AET),
they buy back a lot of stock...
CI was featured in one of our...
in a segment we did all week,
where we did stocks that have
been buying back the most of any
company and CI is right there...
I would sell
Unitedhealth Group, Inc.
(UNH)
and I would buy CI.
SBAC - Wireless towers!...
You know I've been behind that
group the whole way... I think
there's still plenty of room for
wireless towers... And what's
with the fake Christmas trees,
like we don't know?... What do
you think, we're stupid?...
Obviously they're towers... For
heavens sake, they've got the
green... Anyways, I like the
business...
NHWK - No, we've been
bearish on NHWK, literally since
$19.20... We had the CEO on, and
I felt bad... 1920 like the
year, no, like the price... I
felt bad, the CEO is always a
nice guy... they're an x-ray
business, but in the end, that
business is not proprietary,
that overnight x-ray thing... I
say
ix-nay on x-ray.

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.
