Jim: A
correction from last night's
show... We were talking about
the companies that I'm worried
about with
Boeing (BA),
and we inadvertently switched
Rockwells... We mentioned
Rockwell Automation Inc.
(ROK)...
It provides industrial
automation power, and control
and information solutions...
when we meant to say that it's
Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL)...
I regret that... COL, which is
the aviation and electronics for
customers. And, you know,
I just... they split that
company... and I did not get the
right one, and I apologize.
SIG - SIG?... I
don't know SIG. I have
been stumped. I've got to
do some work on it... I'm not
familiar with it. That's
okay. It happens. I
don't know it. I've got to
take another...
FMER - I'm going to
tell you this... I'm not
going to recommend an Ohio bank,
as long as this
National City Corporation
(NCC)
hangs over us like a shroud.
We've got to wait... we've got
to wait and see what happens to
NCC, before I recommend an Ohio
bank.
STP - No.
Chinese power company. I
mean, everything China... (bear
sound)... We made a
decision at the beginning of the
year, we were not going to
recommend anything China.
And that market is down 59%...
59%! And we're not going
back to China yet. It's
just too darn hard.
SYY - At times... at
times... management can trump
even a most difficult
industry... Just like we
had Farooq Ahwari last night
from Ethan Allen Interiors
Inc. (ETH)
- not that I say you should buy
it, other than on a pullback -
SYY is well-run. This is a
food service company that does a
fabulous job, even when
restaurants are in retreat.
I have used SYY for years, when
I used the term, "used"...
that's an old brokerage term,
meaning I have always
recommended it to clients... I
don't have any clients now, and
I don't trade. That's a
good one!
LOW - I have to tell
you... I think LOW is almost a
buy. We were talking about
the idea of buying LOW for
my charitable trust when it got to
$21-22. Why? Because
it's taking a lot of share from
a lot of hardware stores...
because I love to shop there...
it's a well-run company. I
am 2 points from
pulling the trigger... just 2
points. And, when housing
turns, which it will do... if we
get the bailout plan... in 278
days... LOW is going to spike to
$30. I like your thinking.
You've got horse sense!
JCI - This is a very
well-run company that,
unfortunately, has clients like
auto companies. And, if you've
got a client like an automobile
company, I don't like those
stocks... don't buy, don't
buy... I cannot say "buy."
We're not in that kind of
economy.
CNB - Too dicey!
Too dicey!... We're
sticking with the Fortress
Four.. we're sticking with
JPMorgan (JPM*),
which I own for
my trust... We're sticking
with
Wells Fargo (WFC),
with
US Bancorp (USB)
and
Bank of America (BAC)...
And we'll only go down the food
chain, and buy something like
BB & T Corp. (BBT).
Remember how we felt about
Wachovia Corp. (WB)...
If we get the deal, it's the
best stock in the world... If we
don't get the deal, it could be
the worst stock in the world...
GOOG - The problem is
that I've seen reports today
that
Yahoo! (YHOO)'s
business is really weak.
There's no way that that's not
going to spill over at a certain
point to Google. I agree
with you that Google is
best-in-show. But I see no
rush to buy any
advertising-supported company.
The only rush you should see is
to call the FDIC...and raise the
limits of the FDIC insurance...
and stop the runs in the banks
right now...

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.
