VISN - No man, look...
I'm watching the (Olympic)
games... I'm watching the games,
but do not ask me to buy
communist Chinese stocks.
As it is, I violated my
discipline and actually
recommended a couple Russian
stocks. I don't trust
communists... I don't trust
confiscatory nations. I
really believe that you've got
to stay away from these
countries... I am so glad
that I stopped recommending
Chinese stocks at the end of
last year. I am not going
back in... I watch the
Olympics, I enjoy their
competition, but do not ask me
to put money in their market!
KO - You should start
(as a new investor) with KO.
I have to tell you... Do you
remember when KO was at $51, and
they reported a quarter... the
quarter looked fine... and the
stock immediately fell to $49.
That was nonsense.
SunTrust (STI)
has a big position in KO.
They need to raise a lot of
money... because their balance
sheet is bad. That's
pressured KO. I thought
their quarter was magnificent...
We went to see KO last year when
we were at Georgia Tech.
That is a dynamite company.
They have their raw costs under
control. I suggest people
who do not own a
Warren Buffett
company that want to own one...
I prefer KO even to
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ),
and that's making a statement.
AAPL - All right AAPL
is a stock that we liked very
much on Mad Money... Now,
let's understand each other...
This is a wild trading stock.
It's an emotional stock... The
way you buy AAPL... and I'm
doing a whole tutorial after the
Lightning Round on how to buy
these wild stocks. You
pick a price. Don't just
go in and buy it, because it is
just natural that, one day, AAPL
will be raided down by a bear
raid, by a group of hedge funds
that need to take stocks down
for performance... yes, that
happens... Pick a spot... Let's
say you wanted to buy 100 AAPL
shares. You buy 25 here
and then you wait 5 points, then
another 25 at the next 5 points
down. If you buy AAPL all
at once, I'm giving you the
buzzer!
RIG - All right, I've
been avoiding RIG, because I
felt that the group was going to
come under pressure... And
you know what?... I now think
that the group is so far down
that you've got to think about
re-buying RIG. I used to
own a huge position in RIG for
my charitable trust. I took
profit. I have not looked
back. I now believe that,
if you wanted to, you could
start buying RIG, and I would
endorse it. Boy, has that
group been killed... it's
just been crushed, spindled and
mutilated...
LINE - Look, if I can
get a 12% yield, and I don't
think natural gas is going below
$8, then I want to
pull the trigger. I think that
stock represents great value.
I believe natural gas is drawing
the line at $8 bucks. Why?
Because coal's at $7.50.
How can the cleaner fuel be
priced through coal? Not
only that, every major chemical
company that saw that oil and
natural gas ran up to $13.
It's back to $8. Real
buyers are here, not traders.
Natural gas is making a stand at
$8, and my stand includes LINE.
CALM - All right,
you've got an egg company...
that is a wild trader. You
are sitting on a powder keg,
dynamite. I like the
fundamentals. The bears
hate the stock... I'm
going to go with you (bull
sound)... But I've got to tell
you, a 52-week high in this
market is hard to find. I
want you to be careful.
SFI - No, no...
this is a company that is so
high-risk that... even down
here, I don't trust it... even
down here... although they are
great guys, I do not be
connected with that kind of
mortgage mezzanine real estate
stuff. Way too dangerous
for you and for me.
MIG - You know,
there'd be a time when I would
have said that one is too
dangerous, because I don't want
to be in insurers and medical.
I think you have a point there.
I think that could be a
speculative favorite. Let
me just see the
market cap... Oh
geez, at $251 million...
too dangerous for me to
recommend on this show... but I
think you're in the sweet spot,
at that point, with that kind of
medical health insurance play.
I'm going to endorse it, but
only for speculators.

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.
