(see comments above for
each)
CVS - I am impressed.
They bought Long's Drugs.
I thought the stock would get
hit. It didn't. I
also feel that the last quarter
wasn't nearly as bad as people
thought. Their Caremark
division missed up on a couple
of contracts, but I have to
think of CVS as a buy here.
But, in full disclosure, as much
as I like CVS, I like
Walgreen Co. (WAG*)
more, and I've been buying WAG
consistently for
my charitable trust, and I'm going
to continue to buy WAG, but I
like CVS.
PTRY - No, PTRY was a
stock we liked a couple of years
ago, but I just really think
that, if I'm going to go down
the list of companies that are
going to be on the road, that
need lower gasoline (prices), I
am going to send you to
CBRL Group Inc. (CBRL)...
much more shareholder-friendly.
AMED - This is a
crossfire play. This is
what I call a true battleground
stock. There are people
like the excellent Cheryl
Scolnick, over at CRT, who says
that this is a stock that must
be avoided. It's home
healthcare, home Medicare...
I have no particular view on
AMED. The reason I don't
is because I think it's too
hard. Sometimes some
stocks are too hard and Cramer
just walks away... Don't
buy, don't buy... This is one
where I'm walking away.
SWHC - No, no... SWHC
was one of the first stocks I
recommended. It wasn't
just because they had started to
come up with pink fashion
guns... I like that idea,
although I think it's like a...
I'm also a 2nd Amendment guy...
when it comes to guns. Although
I am pro-gun and I have one...
well, not anymore. I had
it... well, that's a different
story. SWHC went from $5
to $12 to $13. We said
buy, buy, buy, and then we said
sell, sell, sell, and we said
never look back. It is
back at $5, and I am never
looking back... and hallelujah
to the Supreme Court for its
ruling on the 2nd Amendment.
HCBK - You'll always
find that on my buy list.
That's Ron Hermance (CEO).
He got the Bailey Building and
Loan Award... very nice piece...
hey, how about The New York
Times finally recognizing Ron
Hermance and HCBK? I
thought I died and went to
heaven... The New York Times
finally wrote something positive
about somebody. I say two
thumbs up, way up New York
Times... No, the New York Times
is a major short! Sell,
sell, sell... but I do like Ron
Hermance and HCBK.
IMA - Well I think
they're finally digesting that
awful acquisition. I hated
that acquisition. I got
really mad at IMA, because I
liked them simply as a
diagnostic play. I thought
it'd be a great play for the
future. The acquisition,
they paid too much. I
think they're starting to
integrate it. Speaking of
that, I also think that
Hologic Inc. (HOLX)
is finally coming back.
They're integrating it. I
invite IMA management back on
the show, and HOLX's management
back on the show, if they want
to get tough, and then they can
come on my show. Until
then, they are don't buy, they
are don't buy.
NOK - I like NOK, but
let me give you a suggestion.
The stock that I have bought for
my charitable trust... it hit a
52-week high today... that, on
any pullback, I think is a lot
better than NOK, and that is
QualComm Inc. (QCOM*).
That's the brains of the outfit!
I think they settled a big
patent dispute with NOK that's
going to be the blueprint for
all the other patent disputes.
Every time they get a patent
dispute solved, that stock's
going to go higher, plus they've
got 3G and they've got 4G
(referring to the next,
fourth-generation wireless
high-speed technology coming).
I give you QCOM*.
GTI - Making a
comeback... a little cyclical
for me. We had liked the
stock a little bit lower, these
electrodes. I agree with
you though. I think it's
overdone to the downside.
By the way, so is
Nucor (NUE),
which I can't stand. I've
got to buy that stock.
CEDC - Well, I mean,
it was off 7 points because
Vladimir Putin (President of
Russia) has decided that he has
decided to take over the world.
And you know what? He
seems to be doing a very good
job... A good article by Rob
Peters today in The New York
Post. But... I believe
that, now that the war has been
won, and he's done all the
annihilation to stop the ethnic
cleansing in Georgia, that I
think we're okay now for CEDC.
I was concerned that he was
going to declare World War 17,
but he isn't, and I think we're
fine there.
CHK - All right, look,
I have been a big believer in
Aubrey McClennan and CHK.
I believe that natural gas is
actually literally so beaten
down that you have to own a
natural gas company, you have
to... I stuck by them for
my charitable trust... I got
hurt. I admit I got hurt.
I left the table, then I came
back in too early. But I
must tell you, I think that CHK
is too darn cheap. Now,
remember, if we get to the
November election in
California... if they pass
that gigantic natural gas bill,
this stock is going to go up
big. In the interim, I
think it's bottomed; I think
natural gas bottoms at $7.50,
where it's equal to coal.
I think you should buy some CHK.
I like the stock. I've
been wrong though, I've been
wrong, but I like Aubrey
McClennan and I don't care.
ZOLT - A big miss!
You know I haven't liked these
guys for some time. This
is carbon fibers. People
think carbon fibers, they think
windmills. You know what I
think when I think windmills, I
think OC... an upside surprise,
and only at $25. You swap
out of ZOLT... you move into
OC... you stick with OC...

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.
