UPL - Look, I've been
cold. The market's hard.
Here's the way I look at UPL...
The guy who runs UPL, Michael
Watford - and boy, is he ever
welcome anytime on our show...
he is just a dynamite exec...
Michael Watford has the lowest
finding cost... even lower than
Equitable Resources Inc.
(EQT),
which is another amazing
company... and I sold that
stock, when my friend, Aubrey
McClennan (CEO of
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK)
shut in some of his natural gas
at CHK. UPL will be the
first one to bounce back, if we
get the Pickens' Plan. If
not, it's just kind of languish
here... although I do believe
that McCain will allow more
drilling than Obama, because
they drill in Wyoming, and there
are like these animals out there
that everybody's worried
about...
CRM - Well, they
guided lower... they guided
lower last time, and I want to
hear from (CEO) Marc Benioff
before I recommend the stock,
because you cannot have a stock
with that high a
price-to-earnings multiple, that
can guide lower. So I'm
doing a 'don't buy, don't buy'
down here for Marc, who is a
great guy.
XOM - I cannot, down
here, at $77, tell you to get
rid of it. It is not my
favorite oil company. It
is not finding the amount of oil
that I want. There are a
lot of others that I like.
I talk about it all the time for
my charitable trust... I am
not going to sell it but, of the
integrated major oils, it's my
least-favorite, because it has
the least growth and it spends
too much money buying back
stock, and that's something that
has not worked at all.
ELON - I think that
people are worried about Europe
slowing down. I think
you're right. It is a good
technology company. I
think that technology has gotten
radically out of fashion.
I believe that September was a
very bad month for technology,
so I've got to say don't buy.
I really am worried about
technology here. It's just
not coming together like I
thought. Even
Apple (AAPL)...
I wish I could be more
enthusiastic about owning AAPL.
I still have recommended a
three-quarter position in AAPL.
But, if I can't get behind AAPL,
it's hard for me to get behind
ELON.
WRES - We talked about
Ultra Petroleum (UPL)
earlier... WRES is just not as
good as UPL. At this
point, if we do not go behind
best-of-breed for oil and gas -
the wildcat best of breed -
we're going to get hurt... So
I'm not going to endorse WRES.
Don't buy, don't buy.
AMTD - That was
terrific (the $5 special
dividend)... they're incredibly
pro-shareholder... incredible.
I think you're right... I think
AMTD... I don't want to say
they'll inherit the earth,
because
Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW)
is doing real well too...
but I think AMTD is the square
outfit... and the reason why I
say that is because of the
dividend... they've still been
doing a lot of trading, and they
have been rewarding
shareholders... and because I
don't think that, in the end,
the stock market's going to go
away. I think that people
want to buy stocks cheaper, and
the way to buy them cheaper is
with AMTD. I'm sticking
with that recommendation.
By the way, TD,
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD),
is a very smart outfit.
DISAD* - It's
not really a split. What
they did was they re-capitalized
the company in a very
unfavorable way. I've got
to explain this... I had thought
that, after they re-capitalized
the company, people would like
this company as a cleaner,
simple cable play, because
cable's doing better than
network... but they didn't.
And Zazlov let us down here, and
Malone let us down here, and
I've been peeling some off
(selling) for
my charitable trust, because it's
just impossible to understand.
So, I have to say
ix-nay, because I'm selling
myself... Can't like it.

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.
