GRMN - No, I took GRMN off
the head of the Christmas
selling season last year... It
was actually almost 50%
higher... I want to reiterate
that I think GRMN has become a
commodity play... I do not like
commodity plays, they tend to
scare me... I think that they
could get hurt... Those who
think that I may be wrong,
remember,
SanDisk Corp. (SNDK),
I identified that as a commodity
when it was in the $40's and
told you to get out... I think
that GRMN could fall
substantially from here,
substantially at these levels...
I want you to sell, sell, sell.
THOR - I've got to resist
THOR... In pure honesty I have
not examined it... It was on my
list of things I should look at
in healthcare and technology,
which has been a right kind of
group that we have been
emphasizing... I've got to take
a rain check on THOR, rather
than spell on it because I
haven't finished my research yet
for our own show on this...
It's one of a host of companies,
including, by the way,
Zimmer Holdings Inc. (ZMH),
which I'm looking at...
Can you believe it, Zimmer?...
So, let me come back on that
one.
ABB - You know, I've got to
tell you... ABB was down last
week after they reported that
monster quarter... I went over
the quarter with a fine-toothed
comb... There was absolutely
nothing wrong with that
quarter... It was bullish... A
principle infrastructure
company, I really like it... By
the way, for in full disclosure,
because I get paid by
General Electric (GE),
infrastructure, ABB
infrastructure and gigantic
infrastructure, I like them
both... I reiterate my buy on
GE, by the way, with the
financials rallying, GE should
be rallying with it... That
stock is going to $38... ABB is
going to $30 too...
HBAN - HBAN is, you know
look, a lot of regional banks
have done fundraisings, they've
taken their medicine... I am not
going to get behind HBAN... I
think you ought to
schnitzel a little...
Look, the world changed today
with
Merrill Lynch
(MER),
but you know what?... How many
times does the world change?...
The world changed when the SEC
put thought the short sale
restrictions, the world changed
when we saw that Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac were being backed by
Hank Paulson... I think that you
scale sell HBAN right into any
sort of rally that we get in the
financials... There are better
fish to fry... Remember, I like
the fortress banks... I like
JPM, and I like BAC... I like
USB, and I've got to tell you
something, WFC, I like it a lot
better than HBAN.
IPI - Well, you know, we've
got a big sell off in those...
Now, I'll tell you, here's the
deal...
Mosaic (MOS)
reported a monster good quarter
tonight... You know that I like
Potash (POT)...
I believe that tomorrow IPI is
going to be up... I am ranking
these fertilizer companies right
now, and it is not at the top of
the list... It's good... I want
you to scale sell the stock into
the straight tomorrow... The one
that I like best is POT... And,
I have to be selective here
because the commodity stocks are
still coming down... That's one
of the reasons why we're having
such a powerful rally... So I
want you scale sell that one...
It was great when we identified
it when IPO happened... I think
the stock has probably, is not
going to be as good as the other
stocks, let's put it that way.
RIG - All right, let's talk
about RIG, let's talk about
it... Let's analogize... Let's
use it in a bigger picture about
the drilling stocks... We had
Core Labs (CLB)...
I think CLB tells a great
story... RIG is out of favor
right now... Why is it out of
favor?... Because oil is going
from $148 down to $110... Maybe
it goes close to $100, that is
not my price target... $110 is
my price target... Here's what I
think happens... I think people
think that they're going to
cancel a lot of the giant RIG
orders... I think that's
untrue... I think you are
right... You're concentrating on
the value, you're concentrating
on how it sells at nine times
earnings... RIG, their biggest
problem is how to return the
cash to you... All right, I
think that RIG is going lower,
but I want to buy it in the
weakness because the stock is
anticipating oil going to
$100... I don't think it gets
there... If I were to buy 100
shares of RIG, what would I
do... Where did we go out,
$133... I would buy 25 here at
$133, then I'd buy 25 at $126,
use the six point scale... And
get my total 100 in if it got
below $120... If it didn't go
below $120, hey, take it where
you can get it... I like RIG...
I'm not abandoning RIG, it's too
good.
AUTH - No, it's fingerprint
identification... We like, no,
no, this one is too
speculative... I hate to end on
a downer note because it's such
an up day... But that one,
fingerprint ID, I'm not going
there... Too much money lost in
that segment... I got a lot of
stocks I like today... I'm not
going to reach down for that...
I do not want to stick with
AUTH.

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
