RIMM - RIMM is a stock
I've liked since the show
began... actually, before the
show... and I don't trade it.
I just like it. I did to
sell some before... and I said
to buy it back, obviously too
early. But I like RIMM.
It's one of the few tech stocks
that I want to own through this
morass, along with
Apple (AAPL).
I don't think they're going to
do well now, but one day, this
credit crisis is going to be not
with us, and RIMM and AAPL will
do well. That's a double.
SQM - Alright, I blew
this SQM. I've been
regretting it for the last 10
points. This is a
fertilizer play, it's a play on
lithium... not the kind that I
need to take after recommending
this stock... and, I've got to
tell you, I believe in the core
nature of the Chilean market,
and the properties this company
has, but I've been wrong.
I can't cut and run, because
it's too inexpensive. But
I obviously recommended it too
high. I recommended it on
my first year of the show, and
it was good... but I stuck
with it and I should have taken
profits, and it was my bad.
XCO - I think that XCO
represents another good value in
the oil patch, ever since Aubrey
McClennan (CEO of CHK) shut in
his positions, where they're not
going to drill more with
Chesapeake (CHK)...
I felt the group could rally...
but XCO is not the best.
Let's go over the cheapest... is
Ultra Petroleum (UPL),
and
Equitable Resources Inc.
(EQT).
Those have the most leverage, if
Aubrey's gambit sends natural
gas prices up.
F - F is too
speculative for me. It's
speculative for me to recommend.
I wouldn't mind if you traded
out of that. It's too
speculative. I would save
it for Speculation Friday.
I can't recommend the stock
here.
GU - It's a
speculative play... it's a
biodiesel play from China.
The Chinese market has been
completely and utterly
annihilated... down about 59%.
I do not see the Baltic Freight
Index, after four straight up
days, has now been down twice.
It's just nasty out there.
That is a nice play on the
speculative part of China... but
China has disappeared from the
face of the earth, when it comes
to being an economic power.
It's just like they went on a
permanent vacation. How do
you hide 1.2 billion people?...
tell me how!
JRCC - Well, JRCC...
there's a big secondary going
on... and some of the workers
there are able to sell stock,
and JRCC is also a play on
McCain winning, so that ain't
working...
AMX - Okay... one day,
Latin America will come back,
and this will be the first to
come back. This is Carlos
Slim (world's richest man). This
is the biggest cell phone
company in Latin America.
It's a great company. It
is not too early to think that,
one day, Latin America will
indeed exist again.
DSX - We haven't liked
DSX since the CEO basically told
us not to like it.
Basically, we had the guy on,
and he said, you're too bullish.
We have not backed away from
that negative stance since then.
Every one of these stocks is
still coming down, because the
Baltic Freight Index is coming
down. I want to reiterate
that I like Frontline Ltd. (FRO).
It cannot afford it's dividend
right now... And I like
Nordic American Tanker (NAT),
and those are the only ones I'm
recommending in that whole
sector, which is in total bear
market mode.
CMCSA - I think CMCSA
has bottomed, and it's starting
to go up. I think cable
turned out to be darn good.
I got too negative. It
hasn't cost me anything, because
the stock's back to $19, but I
would purchase CMCSA. I
think Brian Roberts (CEO) and
family has gotten religion.
I think Dan Burke's doing a good
job. I think, under $20,
that stock is a buy. I
understand how all these stocks
right now are going down.
But that company has turned
itself around and I want to buy
CMCSA.
NYX - It now yields
3%. The dividend is safe.
The company needs to... oh
man... well, this is one where
I've whipped myself so often
that I did cut me losses,
literally 30 points ago, which I
do feel good about. I
recommended it at $60. It
went to $110. Did I take
profits? No. Like a
moron, I stayed on it. It
got back to $60, and I cut my
losses. Now here's the
deal... NYX... I don't like the
business model. I just
don't like it. I like Duncan
Niederauer (CEO)... I like Rich,
who works in Public Relations
there. Everybody at the
NYX I love... I do... I love the
NYX people. I can't
recommend the stock. It's
killing me, but I can't
recommend the stock. I
wish Duncan the best of luck
though, and I hope everything
works out. That's personal
though, and it's not business.

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
