Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
IMA - I liked IMA,
then they did this ridiculous
deal, where they paid far too
much for this company, and now
we've got to literally suffer
the consequences of a full year
before we see any results with
it. I say, "boo" to
management. They really
screwed up a great situation.
IMA should never have done that
last buy, and that's why I
turned on them.
LINE - I love the high
yielders. It's got a
gigantic yield, north of 10%.
The stock has come down. I
don't want to sell that.
And a little word about natural
gas... I think natural gas
is owned by a lot of hedge
funds, obviously. We still
haven't found a bottom to the
stocks, even though we found a
bottom in natural gas. Let
these sellers keep selling and
creating more value for us, like
XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*)...
an unbelievable situation how
much they sent that one down...
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK),
where my friend, Aubrey
McClennan is doing great
things... Let them keep
coming down, and buy them on
scales down, because natural gas
is the fuel of the future.
I believe that.
PFE - I think PFE can
inch up. I'd rather see...
if you want a yield play, that's
a drug company, that has more
upside, I'd go to
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
(BMY).
I don't know how BMY can stay
independent... I don't
know why PFE doesn't buy BMY?
So PFE is a don't buy, but you
know I like BMY.
X - There's been a
total collapse of scrap steel.
There is just a tremendous,
tremendous contraction in that
industry. Why is that?
The Chinese have left the
building. The Chinese were
giant buyers of steel.
They have totally vanished.
Until they come back, X will
continue to fall. The
collapse in scrap is amazing.
Now, when you talk to the steel
guys, they don't see it.
They tell you everything's fine.
I think that, if you bought X
when I recommended it at Penn
State, and you didn't sell it
when it ran 60 points, do not
buy more yet. This stock
could trade back to where it was
in 2005, before the big
rest-of-the-world thesis came
in... which would put it 20
points lower. I want you
to be careful with the stock...
be careful with that stock.
BRS - This is one of
those that got caught up in the
hurricane... this is oil
offshore business. Once
again, the hedge funds own this.
Does that mean we should abandon
it? No. It means we
have to wait. The whole
idea that we should leave the
oil thesis entirely is wrong.
But I do believe that, given
where the
Oil Services Holders (OIH)
traded, which is the index that
follows the oil service stocks,
that oil looks like... according
to the bears... headed to $60 to
$80 (per barrel). I think
it could go to $90. I
think gasoline's going to $3,
but I am not as bearish as the
bears and I do not want to leave
all of oil and gas...
particularly natural gas, where
I maintain two positions for
my charitable trust, as well as a
driller. I'm not
abandoning it. I have a
market weight on it. I
don't want to put anymore on,
but I certainly don't want to go
less. Don't give up the
ship. Remember last
Thursday and Friday, when
everyone was telling you to sell
everything, and I said, listen,
the banks are for real...
Don't leave the ship... don't
leave it... just hunker down,
and, if you did that, you did
darn well... you stuck with the
market.

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.
