TXN - Look, it doesn't
matter which one you own,
they're all going down.
TXN reported a really good
number... Intel (INTC)
is doing fine... This is a group
that I believe - when the smoke
clears - will do well. But
I can't tell you to buy any of
them right now... Don't
buy, don't buy... because they
are just stuck in the morass of
the Nasdaq decline. Keep
your powder dry. There's
no reason to pull the trigger
just yet.
V - Visa's a consumer
spend play. I told you
that I no longer liked
Mastercard
(MA).
I do like V. V is owned by
a lot of hedge funds. It's
coming down. I believe
consumer spending is going to
rebound when housing bottoms
next year, and when oil keeps
going down... gasoline is going
to $3 a gallon. But, until
then, I think you keep your
powder dry... don't buy, don't
buy... it is still too related
to consumer spending.
UL* - I bought some
UL* today. I have
switched, in
my charitable trust... I started
to do a little better than the
market. How? Because
I switched to stocks like UL*.
We went over UL* here when we
compared it to some other
stocks. It's a huge user
of natural gas... all the
packaging. It is a great
play on the fact that the dollar
may be getting strong. It
is, I would say right now, among
the best packaged goods plays
that do not need a strong
economy. That one is a
buy, buy, buy...
Pull the trigger on UL*!
GOOG - Look, it is a
$400 stock... We could be
talking about
Apple (AAPL)
or we could be talking about
Research
In Motion (RIMM)...
Any one of these stocks that has
got a big dollar amount is being
used to raise capital from
hobbled hedge funds. If
you ask me about GOOG on its
fundamentals... I think GOOG is
now cheap to its growth rate.
If you ask me about GOOG, on
where the stock is in the next
20 points, I'd be concerned.
So let's do this... Don't buy,
don't buy... I suggested
you buy some at $450-460.
Now, I want to wait until $400,
to
pull the trigger again.
GD - We saw a fabulous
article this weekend in The New
York Times. It was about
how much President Bush has
pushed sales overseas of our own
domestic military companies like
GD. This is good, however,
if you think Obama's going to
win, then you're going to have
to do what I did with
Raytheon Co. (RTN),
and you're going to have to
sell, sell, sell... We do
not want to own defense stocks
if you think Obama is going to
win.
FSTR - Well, I mean,
rail products... absolutely, it
makes sense. However, I
have found, if you're going to
do that, I'd rather be in
Trinity Industries Inc. (TRN*),
which also has wind turbines...
so, if we get... good article in
The New York Times Sunday
Magazine... If we get a
president that favors wind,
you'll get both railcar
equipment and you'll get wind
turbines. I'd rather stick
with TRN.

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,
