Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
VLO - No, no, no...
I don't like the refiners
anymore. That business has
gotten too hard. Oh, they
haven't built a refinery in 30
years, whatever... It's a
bad business. It's got
margins that are difficult to
control. I do not like
VLO. I have not liked it
for 30 points. I reiterate
that I don't like VLO right
here, right now.
RIMM - Look, this is
just owned by a lot of hedge
funds... they've killed the
stock... I know, I know,
everyone thinks it's too rich.
They've got a whole bunch of
phones coming out... I've
liked this stock since I started
the show. Have I
overstayed my welcome? You
know what?... I just think
the growth... it's very hard to
find a 30% grower.
Blackberry is that grower.
I am not, not backing away from
RIMM. I've been right for
three years, and very wrong in
the last 40 points... very
wrong.
DXPE - Candidly, I do
not know it. I know it
only as a flow control play.
Those are all up terrific...
but, you know what... it's up so
much... before I say
ring the register, I need to know
more about DXPE, so I don't have
an answer.
WB - I said buy WB on
weakness. We've got the
weakness, I want the trigger
pulled... buy, buy, buy...
I know the losses are going to
be great. Bob Steele runs
that... This is the weakness.
I'm not going to run away, now
that we have weakness...
US Bancorp (USB)?
That company is doing
terrifically. It's got one
of the lowest loss ratios, so to
speak, of the non-performers...
and it's one of my "Fortress
Four" so USB is good.
CHFC - They don't take
a lot of risk... it reminds me
of
BB & T Corp. (BBT).
I think that's a well-run
company. I should have
highlighted that when I
highlighted BBT... I think
they can be a winner, by the
way, when the FDIC has to buy
all these banks. I think
that company's in shape to be
able to buy some deposits.
You've got a winner there...
you've got a winner there.
I want to own that.
TIVO - All right...
Tom Rodgers, the CEO at TIVO,
has done a remarkable job...
I doubted this company
initially, but he's been making
a lot deals, he's got new
technology. The stock just
spiked recently, because of an
agreement. Now, I have to tell
you... he also said the quarter
was soft, so there's no hurry to
buy it... but here's what I
would do... This is a
perfect stock for Speculative
Friday... I wish... I'm
inviting Tom Rodgers on right
now, because I believe in him...
I've known him for I don't know
how long... 15 years? He
is a great manager. I like
TIVO. I want to learn more
about the story, and I want to
buy it.
NCC - No, no...
NCC is part of that whole group
that I'm not going to recommend.
It's just way too speculative...
Is it as bad as
Lehman Brothers
(LEH)?
No. Is it bad as
Washington Mutual (WM),
which we've hated for so long
it's scary... No.
But it's not good. It's
too speculative for me to
recommend on this show and I'm
not going to do it. I'm
using the term, "too
speculative" like I use for
General Motors
(GM),
for
Ford (F),
for LEH... because what I'm
saying is is that I just think
it's not investable enough for
our terrific audience, and I
don't want to hurt anybody.
I feel bad for saying that.
I know they're trying real hard,
but NCC...
ix-nay NCC...

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

homework on the stock,
