Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

ACI

35.60

Arch Coal Inc. (ACI)

ACI -  A lot of this (decrease in demand) is China.  China has simply just disappeared.  We've been talking about the China disappearance now... it continues.   There have been no imports to speak of.  We thought it would end after the Olympics... we thought people would start doing more... then after the ParaOlympics... there seems to be no sign of China.  Given the fact that there's no sign of China...  At this point, Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU), I like a little more than ACI.  I have to tell you, I do not think coal is going away...  I do think that, if Obama wins president, you're going to have a couple of hard days there.  But these are cheap stocks at this point.  If I were Exxon Mobil (XOM), I'd go buy one of these.

FLR

Fluor Corporation (FLR)

FLR -  Here's what will happen...  FLR will go down.  Why?  Because people genuinely do not believe that a lot of the projects on the books will be done.  I think FLR is a great corporation, and I think infrastructure is a multi-year story.  I have been right, and now I have been wrong.  And I've got to tell you, if you want to go with the company that you want to play infrastructure with, along with the previous caller about coal...  the one that is the safest right now is Joy Global (JOYG)... down $3 today.  They're buying back two-fifths of the company.  I'd rather see you in JOYG, which makes coal manufacturing and coal mining equipment... than I would see you in FLR.

HMC

30.00

na

Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (HMC)

HMC -  Yeah, you can't get a Honda... I mean, they're sold out.  HMC did everything right, but it doesn't matter... it's an auto company.  I think that time will tell that HMC has done a lot of right things.  I know that, if you could get that stock at its 52-week low... $27... I'd feel a lot better.  I think that Japan is going to be down very big tonight...  Now, you mentioned Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE)...  I'm going to give you a two-fer...  CLNE is on that list...  It's on that list that the SEC published...  It's called the SHO list...  There's a lot of naked shorting in the name.  That has to end.  But I will reiterate... it's speculative, speculative, speculative!...   And anyone thinking that that's Ma Bell or something, not that Ma Bell is any good here either, is making a big mistake.

Price target to buy:  $27.00

CLNE

PPC

Pilgrims Pride Corporation (PPC)

PPC -  PPC is a chicken company.  It is not going away.  I think it's almost at its 52-week... actually, it's got a few points from its 52-week low...  I like your style.  I think that stock will have an impetus to go higher, and I like the chicken business, and I like Tyson Foods (TSN) more.

TSN

12.63

na

ROSE

18.75

na

Rosetta Resources, Inc. (ROSE)

ROSE -  Here's the deal...  I think that ROSE represents part of the complex that has gotten completely out of favor... which is the natural gas and oil complex.  I think the stock is inexpensive, and nobody seems to care, but there are real assets there.  Yes, I guess I'm saying that, under $18, I would be a buyer of ROSE.

Price target to buy:  Under $18.00

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

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.
