WFT - No, no.
I've got enough problems with
the oil service stocks that are
hitting the ball out of the park
that are not working. And
there, I'm speaking about the
Halliburton Company (HAL)
and I'm speaking about
the
Nabors (NBR)...
which are unbelievable.
Those stocks go down every day.
I cannot go with one WFT that
did not have the kind of number
that I want. I have to
recommend selling WFT... Sell,
sell, sell!... I mean,
look,
Schlumberger (SLB)
is good...
Transocean Inc. (RIG)
has come down a lot. Now,
understand that, given where XOM
has come down and where
Chevron (CVX)
has come down, they are saying
that oil's going to $90 a
barrel. If that's the
case, then WFT is going to go
down a lot and so will SLB, but
I think WFT will go down more
than SLB.
JBLU - Oh c'mon, man!
We don't recommend airlines.
Now, the only two that we would
possibly get into bed with would
be
Continental Airlines, Inc.
(CAL)
and
Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV).
Why don't I recommend airlines?
Because I have never seen
anybody make money in airlines,
other than brief moments, like a
quick... something quick like
AMR Corporation (AMR)
on the price from $148 to
$110... People say, Jim,
why don't you get us in there?
Do you know how many problems I
have when I tell you to get into
natural gas in 2005... It then
tripled... and then, because I
didn't get you out right, people
hate me... One thing I'm
never going to do is recommend
an airline stock! I've got
so many people hating me right
now, I'm... I want to be a
man of peace.
YHOO - I think that
YHOO won... I think that
Jerry Yang (CEO) won...
Jerry Yang had one mission, and
the mission was to destroy, I
think destroy,
Microsoft (MSFT)'s
bid, and he won and it's not
coming back. So now you
have to worry about YHOO's
earnings. I feel like it
was a shame... a
Wall of Shame...
that Jerry Yang did that to
shareholders. But now
you've got to worry about
whether they can get the
business right.
Ultimately, they can. But
why would I want to be in YHOO
when I can be in
Google, Inc. (GOOG)
which, right now, is cleaning
everybody's clock! We had
Eric Schmidt (CEO) on last week.
All the great things he said,
including passing up billions in
revenue from selling that home
page, I'm with Google! I
see GOOG coming down here...
because of the overall market...
down $11, and that is one buy,
buy, buy!...
WY - Well, remember,
they sold a lot of the paper...
the kraft paper... to
International Paper (IP),
so we've got to be careful.
We want to own WY because of
lumber and because of housing.
Now, I think housing is done
going down, and nine months from
now, I think it's hitting
bottom. I think WY is
hitting bottom... it's got a
good, safe yield. I
recommended this stock when it
hit 4%, and I'm reiterating my
buy right here, right now!
BA - Let me tell you
why BA is hard... because BA is
one of the greatest American
manufacturers in the world.
I am not going to recommend
selling BA down here. That
would be ridiculous... Don't
buy, don't buy... it has come
down so hard... but I also don't
have a catalyst to buy it.
I do believe that, once they
work out the manufacturing
kinks, the orders will come
back... but we've had
devastation in the airline
industry. I do believe the
leasing companies are starting
to come back. Here's my
take: In five months,
after all the tax loss selling,
I'm going to
pull the trigger on BA. But,
until then, I'm sitting on my
hands... don't buy, don't buy...
because there are still numbers
that have got to come down
there.
PPL - I didn't like
that last quarter from PPL.
I want you to buy
Exelon Corp. (EXC).
EXC is the better grower of
those two. EXC's got great
nuclear power exposure... EXC's
a forward-looking company.
I'd rather see you in EXC.
And, you know what? As far
as I'm concerned, again, PPL is
a little bit like
CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX).
I don't want any risk when I buy
utilities. I've got enough
on my mind.
V - Well
Mastercard
(MA)...
remember, these two trade in
tandem... I have been
behind MA since it came public.
I got off the MA bus about 25
points ago. I now favor
Visa. I think they've got
a better expense structure and
more growth. I think
you're on the right horse.
I would stick with V.
Remember, it has no credit
problems, unlike in Capital ...
You buy that play, because of
the tremendous conversion from
paper (cash) to plastic (credit
cards). I would stick with
V.

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.
