CFX - Man, they have
killed that stock! Well,
yeah, because it involves oil
and gas... and anything that's
oil and gas, they have just
annihilated. And jeez, it
just crossed that
Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX)
is down $6. That's
intriguing to me... This
market is brutal on anything oil
and gas, so what you want to do,
you want to find an oil stock...
Let's say you like this CFX...
oil service... you want to buy
100 shares?... You buy 25
at $14, and 25 at $11, and 25 at
$8, and let me tell you
something... it's going to get
to $8. That's how bad this
market is!
KMB - You have gotten
the Cramer mantra! KMB is
exactly the kind of company I'm
looking at. How about this
one? I'll give you a
two-fer... Today was a horrible day.
It was one of those days when
you finish, and you just want to
go (motioning a gun to his
head)... and I look at
Clorox Co. (CLX),
which is one of my favorite
stocks to own... don't drink it,
just own it... and CLX is up 92
cents. What did KMB do
today? It's up 24 cents.
I am emphasizing over and over
again, this is what you need to
buy... defense, high dividends,
some gold into the weakness,
which I love, and have some
cash! That is
diversification!
HK - That's a
speculative play. If you
want a speculation play, that's
fine. Everybody can have
up to 20% of their mad money,
not their IRA or 401K, in
speculation. If it's not
your speculative play, then
you've got to sell, sell,
sell... because one of the
things that's happening, is that
the hedge funds are blasting out
every single oil and gas well
through their level. I'd
rather have you be in
Occidental Petroleum Corp.
(OXY)...
I'd rather have you be in a big
one... They're giving that away
too.
SPLS - With
Office Depot (ODP)
and OfficeMax (OMX),
I'd go with Staples.
That's the only comparisons
because, otherwise, I do not
need to own a retailer... don't
buy, dont' buy. I'm only
recommending two retailers... I
mean, this market is just that
horrible to retail. Nobody
believes, nobody trusts, no one
has money.
EK - I thought, at
$17-18, it would (turn around),
then it went to $12-13, then it
got a big tax refund, then it
started buying back stock, and
here at $15, I want to say
sayonara (goodbye) to EK...
sell, sell, sell... the business
world is just too tough for them
right now. And they don't
make toothpaste... and, until
they do... until they make Head
and Shoulders shampoo, count me
out.

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.
