CLNE - The one that's
owned by Boone Pickens...
Alright, CLNE is very
speculative. This is a
natural gas filling station
plant. I happen to be a
huge believer in natural gas,
which is why we bring the
executives on all the time.
I believe in Boone Pickens'
plan, but the big liability is
that they don't have any gas
stations. I think the
Exxons and the Chevrons are not
going to put them in their gas
stations, but CLNE has a plan.
Now here's what I would do...
it's speculative... We're
going to get a November 5 bond
initiative... $5 million.
That is going to help natural
gas. I think it passes.
I agree with Aubrey McClennan at
Chesapeake Energy (CHK)...
that it will. Then I think
CLNE tacks on a quick $5.
When it does tack on the quick
$5, then we are going to say
hallelujah and take the gain.
TLB - All right... I
go to a Talbots near where my
daughter practices field
hockey... I always try to check
it out... I know that the stores
look better... but I've got my
favorite retailers, and you know
that I thought that
Urban Outfitters (URBN)
is the one to buy...
TJX (TJX)
as a discounter... URBN on the
creative side... They both blew
away the numbers. Why do I
have to reach down to TLB?
I say take profits on TLB...
sell, sell, sell... and you can
keep shopping there!
RIO - Alright, we are
in a commodities bear market.
We entered a commodities bear
market on July 15th. This
stock has done nothing but go
down... All that said,
I've got to tell you
something... I personally feel
that there's some real value
here. Now, what happens if
China comes back from the
Olympics and starts actually
buying things again? I
don't want to get rid of the
stock here. It represents
too much value... don't buy,
dont' buy... but I have to tell
you... the commodities bear
market is powerful and it's ugly
and it rips these stocks to
shreds almost every day.
VRSN - I didn't like
the quarter... I've got enough
problems. The only net
stock I am currently
recommending is the
Google-isish... And, understand,
Google (GOOG)
is not for the squeamish... but
I think VRSN didn't deliver the
numbers. I often feel like
I have been right to stay away
from these, like I missed the
Akamai
(AKAM)
thank heavens... and took
profits in
Omniture Inc. (OMTR).
I do not trust VRSN or
F5 Networks Inc. (FFIV)...
I'll give you another one
there...
WFMI - I feel blessed
that I told people to avoid the
stock. I did say, at $18,
I would reconsider... I
did think that $18 would be a
buy. Subsequently, some
bad quarter... another bad
quarter occurred and the
suspension of the dividend.
Now I had felt that, at $18, the
yield would be so great, that I
would want to buy it no matter
what... but, since they lost the
dividend, the situation has
changed... Sell, sell, sell!...
I can't get behind WFMI as much
as I'd like to, I just cant'...
It's still a great place to
shop... it's a fabulous place to
shop, and I don't think the
prices are outrageous for the
quality that they offer...
there!
TSO - You know I don't
like these refiners. They are
being squeezed. They're
paying high prices, and they
can't seem to pass it on.
If I wanted to get bullish on a
refiner, at this point, I would
pick
Sunoco Inc. (SUN).
It looks so cheap, I can't
even... It's like a $4
billion for heaven's sake!...
But I am not a fan of the
refiners... don't buy, don't
buy... The only thing that
makes people even bullish on
them for a second is the
chart... the charts of the
refiners are good. Excuse
me, but I want a little more
than that.
X - Yesterday, we
talked to Jim Hackett from
Anadarko Petroleum
(APC)...
One of the things that...
He said... the raw costs have
gone up huge. Now what's
he talking about when he's
talking about raw costs?...
He's talking about steel.
I am still waiting for steel to
break in (stock) price. It
hasn't yet. But
Nucor (NUE)
has broken more than X. So
I want to be in NUE, which has
just been tragic... tragic.
FWLT* - I own it for
my charitable trust. I
fortunately sold some in the
$60s and $70s, but then I bought
it back, and I've got a nice
loss going, after having a big
gain from owning it for many
years. Look, Milkovich is
retiring which is too
bad... he's another one of our
stars... He's retiring.
That's killing me, because I
really like him. The
orders were good, but then
McDermott
(MDR)
came in and reported a terrible
quarter, which then trumped the
Fluor (FLR)
quarter, which was like the
FWLT* quarter. Let's cut
to the chase. People think
this is an oil stock. I've
spoken to Ray... Unless
oil goes down $35 a barrel,
they're not going to cancel
orders. Nobody cares.
FWLT* is now trading through 1x
its back order list. In
other words, the book of
business it has is worth more
than the stock price.
That's plain wrong. Not
only am I not abandoning FWLT*,
but I bought some at $45 here
for
my charitable trust, and I want to
continue to buy FWLT*, and I
want to stick by Ray...

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.
