Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
TD - One of the
best-run banks... has very
little bad loan exposure...
however, it's in the Canadian
dollars... people are worried
about the Canadian dollar,
because it's so
commodity-based... but I like
TD, and I think it's a buy here!
TEX - I am
flummoxed... TEX is one of
those companies that does a lot
of overseas business...
Everyone's decided that, since
the world's in recession, no one
will ever do any scaffolding or
cranes again. To me, the
stock is too cheap. I
cannot walk away from that.
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)
is just as cheap, and a better
brand name though.
V - Listen partner,
believe it or not, I now like V
more than I like
Mastercard
(MA).
I think V had the better
quarter... I think V's got
a great thing going, in terms of
worldwide adoption of plastic...
There was an interesting piece
(in the paper) this morning
about how Turkey has gotten 30
million credit cards. I
want V over MA at these
prices... first time for that,
by the way... I said that
MA, at $270, I didn't want to
own it anymore.
LLL - All right,
listen up...
I've
been working on this...
Ever since McCain started making
a move in the polls, I am now
seeing the defense stocks go
up... This is one that would
appease both Obama and McCain,
because it involves homeland
security. I think LLL is
right to buy...
IPI - No, we had that
trade... we made that trade on
IPI, and we're not looking back.
We think that fertilizer is
still in a world of hurt here.
We do like Potash (POT)
best, but understand, the
commodities are under assault.
The other day, I said time to
take off the agriculture
commodity... the fertilizers...
people got very angry at me.
They're down 15-20% since I said
that, and they're not done...
they're not done going down.
RTN - That's another
one that's starting to do well,
now that McCain's up in the
polls... They had a
blowout quarter. I gave up
with
my charitable trust... I couldn't
take the pain anymore...
But RTN, like
L-3 Communications (LLL)
are going to move up, everytime
McCain gains a point in the
polls, those stocks are going to
gain a point on the stock
exchange...
ATI - I saw it the
other day. I cannot
believe how much it's come down.
This was my stock of the year in
2006, and we've never looked
back. We took it off...
There is much supply of titanium
coming on. I still can't
get behind it, even though this
company's now like a $4 billion
company... amazing... not done
(going down).
PCX - PCX must be sold
here! Sell, sell, sell!...
Natural gas has come down to the
point where it's almost as cheap
as coal, so I don't have a
reason in heck to say buy a coal
stock. Natural gas is
cleaner, cheaper, better...
I think all the coal stocks need
to be sold. I'm willing to
stick with natural gas.
Boy is it tough out there...

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
