Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
FDX - I like Fred
Smith (CEO)... he used to be a
guest on my show with my friend,
Larry Kudlow... he is
dynamite. But
United Parcel Service, Inc.
(UPS)
has solved its union issues,
gasoline's come down, they
raised prices. UPS has
done a lot of really great
things and, if you're going to
do one versus the other, I have
to go with UPS, which is still
up a couple (i.e., up $2) from
when I recommended it, and I
believe should be bought into
the continuous weakness in
gasoline.
WPI - No, no... look,
that's had a very big run, and
you know I like the drug
stocks... I had to confess the
other day... I couldn't take The
New York Times' onslaught on
Schering-Plough (SGP)
anymore. But I like the
drugs in a slowdown, and WPI is
not one of my favorites, because
it's got a lot of generics.
But, you know what... the sector
is so strong, that's like one of
the worst houses in a great
neighborhood that you'll
probably do okay.
BQI - This is a big
speculative play. We had a
nice hit in it, and then it
collapsed, along with everything
else natural gas...
Remember, natural gas, at one
point today, was literally down
45% from its high. This is
a spec play. I see the ads
from my friend, Aubrey
McClennan, as well as from Boone
Pickens, and I must tell you in
no uncertain terms that I
believe that natural gas will be
very, very big, and that one is
a great spec...
HWAY - HWAY is in an
area... this chronic healthcare
stuff... the stock has come way,
way down. I now think it's
a buy. I like that sector
very much. People are too
quick to leave that sector.
I think it's a mistake.
GME - No, no, no...
GME was our Christmas play last
year, and we are done with it.
We had the Guitar Hero, and we
had the Rock Band... and we said
it was going to be a big
GameStop Christmas... it
was... and we've been negative
ever since... sell, sell,
sell!... and we're staying
negative!
MEE - No, no, no.
We're done with coal... we're
done with coal. We were
done with the fertilizer and
we're done with coal. We
had
Joy Global (JOYG)
on last night... Look, we
are not going to elect a coal
president. I mean none of
these guys are talking about
coal. I know we have to
use coal, but I don't see a lot
of coal plants being built.
And, meanwhile, the Chinese -
who were the supporters of coal
- have completely vanished.
I am willing to do natural gas,
at $7... I will not
recommend coal. I will
begin to recommend the big
integrated oils as soon as the
hedge fund liquidation is over,
but I am not going to do MEE.
DE* - Don't be
paranoid, don't be paranoid... I
know the commodities have
fallen... Let me give you
what I told people on my paid
service,
my charitable trust... I own
DE*. I bought some DE*
lower. I sold some DE* at
$70. I was going to buy it
back today but, after the
terrible
Terex Corp. (TEX)
news, I figure there's more
bears that are on the prowl for
DE*... I'm using a
$62 to be able to buy some.
That's where I'm going to be
able to pick, down $9 from where
I sold. I think you're
fine down another point or two.
DE* is too cheap. It's a
great international exporter.
Steel costs are going down.
It is not connected with
construction... just barely...
it's a farm play and I still
believe that the farm play is
good, although the fertilizer
play is done... except for
Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P.
(TNH),
and I shouldn't have said I
liked that because of the
dividend but, even there, I
don't even want to recommend
that.
DSX - The rates have
to come up, the Chinese have to
come back... You could argue
that you should get started...
The one that I like is
Frontline Ltd. (FRO)
but, as I indicated last night,
the rates have plummeted... and
cannot make the money for the
dividend right now. It's
kind of a leap of faith.
FRO's got the best balance
sheet. I also like
Nordic American Tanker (NAT).
I think either one of those is
better than DSX. That's my
recommendation to you.
GM - You've got a real
speculative stock there,
honestly. It is not my
favorite auto... My
favorite auto is Honda Motor
Co. Ltd. (HMC)...
(Ed.: that's new!)...
That stock's too speculative for
me... in GM...
As I say in
Real Money, you can have up
to 20% of your portfolio, at
your age (caller said he was 22
with a Roth IRA)...in a
speculative stock, but not your
IRA! That's for
discretionary only, and GM is
way too speculative to own in an
IRA here... way too
speculative...
UDRL - They missed the
quarter. If you're an oil
driller, and you missed the last
quarter, that is just saying, no
go...
Schlumberger (SLB)
came out yesterday... with that
really terrific guy, Andrew
Gould, who runs it... and said,
listen, business is great.
UDRL should have done better.
If you want to be in that
cohort, I prefer
Halliburton (HAL),
I prefer
Nabors (NBR)...
but, remember, once again, there
are hedge funds that are blowing
out of these stocks. They
can't help it. They've got
to return the money. If
you want to see what that's
like, go read CONFESSIONS
OF A STREET ADDICT where,
when I had redemptions, I had to
run on October 5th. I
survived it. But everybody
shot against me... all the
stocks I was trying to sell... I
had to sell by 2pm.
Everybody was betting against
those stocks. That's
what's happening with the
drillers. Trust me.
I'm a hedge fund manager from
way back. That's what's
knocking down these stocks, not
the fundamentals. And we
don't have an "all clear" sign,
until we see the margin clerks
finish one day... Don't
buy these stocks until 1:55pm.
You will not get anywhere near
the bottom, until the margin
clerks are done, if we get a
bottom... Maybe I'll do a whole
segment next week about what's
really going on in the hedge
fund world, because I think it
would help... it's what I wrote
about and nothing's changed in
10 years, except for that I've
got a TV show...

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.
