Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
CSC - You know, this
was a company that I thought one
day would get a bid. And,
here we are at a 52-week low,
which proves once again that you
cannot speculate when the
fundamentals are just okay.
I say do nothing! Don't
buy, don't buy.
BYD - Alright, listen
and listen up! BYD, (bear
sound)... LVS, (bear
sound)... WYNN,
(bear sound)...
There's a pattern, and the
pattern is that I have hated
these casino stocks since the
beginning of the year, and I'm
doubling down with hatred.
I don't like any of those
stocks. I've got to tell
you... one of the greatest calls
I've made - and I've made a lot
of crummy calls this year - but,
at the beginning of the year, I
said I want everyone to sell
every single casino stock...
sell, sell, sell! And boy,
that was good... That
Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL)...
oh boy, that seems like tasting
Alpo!
EME - No, no, no.
An industrial company that does
not necessarily have a great
yield. EME does not have a
great yield... it's got like no
yield... and it's not trading
through it's cash or near it...
which means my prism says
ix-nay EME.
GMCR - This is always
an expensive stock, but I'm
always trying to get my arms
around it. But, in the
interim, I don't want to touch
it. I think... I want to
make it clear that I think that
Starbucks Corp.
(SBUX),
down here at $13, is a better
buy than GMCR, okay.
VSH - Well, you know,
they're in a takeover fight of
their lives with International
Rectifier, and I'm not an
arbitrager. I'm not going to
tell you to buy VSH. Sell,
sell, sell! I can't
believe how low that stock's
gotten. But, boy, it is
just a nasty market.
WMI - Now there's one
I like! That guy's pro
shareholder. He could be
doing this merger. His
business is going good.
WMI is actually probably... this
is like the only stock right now
that has been a buy in this
Lightning Round.
MOS -
Ix-nay on MOS... No,
absolutely not. Once these
momentum stocks break... there
is absolutely nothing. Now
we downgraded these stocks in
the first week of August, and I
got more hate mail than for
pretty much anything I've ever
done, for downgrading these
stocks. Now, once the end
market peaks... in this case, it
was the corn... it didn't matter
where you sold. And it
still doesn't matter.
Agrium (AGU),
MOS... okay.
Potash (POT),
Monsanto (MON)...
If you have to own one, you can
own TNH because it has a
dividend policy, but I'll tell
you the truth... sell,
sell, sell!
SOV - Why don't you
open a bank account there and
save yourself a couple of
bucks... I think that SOV
is part of my non-protect bank
list. In other words, you
need to have everything to go
right for SOV to make you a lot
of money.
National City Corporation
(NCC)
is on that same list. I
just think everything has to go
right, and I've got to tell you
something...not everything is
going right.
ZMH - You know, this
is a company that does
reconstructive surgery.... you
understand, the Bionic Man...
trying to figure out if this is
the right level here. This
stock is all the way at a
52-week low. What we're
going to do is make a decision
next week... because there's a
lot of stuff involved, and I
think they report next week.
Let's revisit ZMH until after
they report. Until then,
don't buy, dont' buy...

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.
