(see comments above for

TNH - We're going to
start every single day as if
that stock is exactly where you
bought it. We're not going to
worry if you're down or not,
because we care where a stock's
going to, not where it's (come)
from... My take is, while
you like the dividend, it could
be variable. It's still a
fertilizer company. I am
concerned. I don't like
that group right now. I
think it's in a world of pain,
and it continues to happen.
I want you to cut your position
back... I want you to cut it
back... Sell, sell, sell!
I'll bet you'll be able to buy
some lower. I am
concerned. I know, a 12%
yield, you shouldn't be, but I
am, okay...
EMR - I don't
understand why this stock is so
low. Honestly!
Someone call the CEO of EMR!
This stock... the market is
wrong! EMR is a better
company! This stock acts
as if 100% of it's business is
in Russia or something. I
think EMR is a great
manufacturing company... one of
the greatest manufacturing
companies in the world.
They do a lot of flow control...
they have a lot of divisions
that are doing well. I
think the stock should be five
points higher.
I want to buy the stock, and I
want to invite the CEO on.
It's a good situation.
ABK - You know, I
recommended selling that
stock from $50, way on
down... and, you know
what? I overstayed my
welcome. When it got
to $2-3, I should have said
enough is enough. I
have no opinion on ABK or
MBIA Inc. (MBI).
The reason I have no opinion
is that I think they're
financials are opaque.
The stocks are going up.
I don't really understand
why other than the fact that
they're not going out of
business, they're going
up... I still think
these companies need more
capital. I know that
the
Merrill Lynch
(MER)
deal that MBI worked out
with Eric Dinallo gave them
life to be able to trade
again. I don't trust
them and I don't want to be
in ABK or MBI... sell, sell,
sell! But I don't have
a good call. MBI, up a
dollar today? I don't
even get that... I just
don't get it.
CSCO* - You know, I
bought CSCO for
my charitable trust and, when it
came out today... they made a
$200 million acquisition...
I said hallelujah... I
want all that cash... they have
billions in cash... put to work.
Acquisitions, growth, not
buyback. John Chambers is
the man. I like CSCO*.
My one reservation... I do
believe that John McCain, if
elected, would put Chambers in
the cabinet, which could hurt
CSCO* and that's the only thing
I'm really concerned about with
CSCO, not the business.
GTI - I like it... I
like it... This is carbon
electrodes... graphite... this
is a play that, right now,
because the cyclical stocks are
down on their luck, people are
throwing this away. I
think you should own it. I
feel the same one about this one
as I do about
Emerson Electric (EMR)...
buy, buy, buy... the
stocks are just down too low.
They're priced as if there'll
never be any business done in
the world again. That's
just false.
VZ - I have to tell you, I
think right now we're in one of
those moments where everyone's
decided that
Comcast (CMCSA)
and Cablevision Systems Corp.
(CVC)
are killing VZ. Ivan
Seidenberg is the CEO of VZ.
He's got FiOS. I know
people think FiOS didn't have a
good quarter. I say wait
and see. It's got a good
dividend. Verizon Wireless
is out of control great... it's
fabulous. He's got a strategy
for losing the plain old
telephone. I think you buy
VZ and you wait. It is not
going to happen overnight, but I
want to bank with Ivan. I
think he is really good... and,
by the way, Randall Stevenson
(CEO) at
AT&T (T)...
that stock, at $30, is
ridiculously cheap. Right
now, everyone's too in love with
cable, and they hate telephone
too much. In another six
months, they'll shift back, so
you buy telephone now... and you
sell cable now... that's the
strategy!
GOOG - Google goes
down everyday. It's
daunting. I think that's
wrong. I see
Dell Inc. (DELL)
going up... I see
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ*)
going up... That means
it's good for
Intel (INTC)...
I see
Microsoft (MSFT)
moving up. I do not, by
any means, believe that GOOG is
going to stay here (this low in
share price). We had Eric
Schmidt... right to our set...
He is talking about world
domination... but in a peaceful
way, not a Russian way... and I
think that GOOG is going to go
back over $500 when this
holiday's over, and after Labor
Day. I think GOOG is a
caged tiger, and they're going
to unleash it the first week
after Labor Day.
ABD - No, no, no...
I always felt that, ever since
Fortune Brands (FO)
spun it off, that I didn't want
to touch it. I just don't
think there's enough there.
If you want to really be in that
business, go buy
Staples Inc. (SPLS).
I don't want to be in that
business. I don't want to
be in office products. I
think that's even worse than
furniture right now. I
don't want to be there.
CMI - Diesel fuel is
very popular, because it's
cleaner. Don't worry about
it. CMI has got the
cleanest engine. That's
what you need to know.
Anyone who's selling CMI here is
really betting on a worldwide
recession. We're not going
to get that. CMI is going
to have a good 2009 and an even
better 2010. I want to own
CMI. I think CMI is one of
the cyclical stocks we've got to
ride through this recession, and
own, because they have better
technology than anyone else in
the world. Weak dollar,
strong dollar, it doesn't
matter, you've got to have a CMI
engine. You've got to
stick with CMI!...

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.
