FWRD

22.68

na

Forward Air Corp. (FWRD)

FWRD -  Oh boy...  You know, I'm recommending... As it is, I'm recommending United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS).  I don't need to be in more pain than I'm in.  Oil is coming down.  UPS is better.  I think yours is a dicey one...  Hey, and let me also just say for a second that the old Yellow Freight, YRC Worldwide Inc. (YRCW)... Man, that thing's nasty.  They just reiterated that things are okay, but it's at $4 bucks.  I'm also going to give you a double there... I want you to sell, sell, sell...

PKG

20.60

na

Packaging Corp. of America (PKG)

PKG -  Ouija board reiterates buy!  This thing yields 5%.  It is absolutely doing great on the raw costs.  Now look, it's a stock, and, as I've been trying to make absolutely clear, if it's a stock, we know where it's going (sound of man jumping out window)...  But you can't throw everything away and, if I've got a 5% yield, on a yield that can be paid, or I'm buying a stock when it's almost to its cash position, I am still going to pull the trigger.  That's going to work for me.

GME

30.75

na

GameStop Corp. (GME)

GME -  No, no, no...  Even though I did just buy Rock Band II... sell, sell, sell... it's darn good by the way, and I think is worth every bit the price... I think this is going to be a miserable...  I think this is going to be the worst hardware Christmas in years.  I think that all the companies that sell this stuff, whether it be Sony (SNE) or Nintendo or Mister Softy (i.e., Microsoft (MSFT))...  you cannot touch them.  I am reiterating - as I said a few weeks ago - sell, sell, sell on one of my favorite stocks, GME, which I do love to go to as a store, but I can't recommend the stock.  I think Sony (SNE)'s in tough shape too.

SNE

25.30

na

Sony (SNE)

S

XRAY

33.38

na

DENTSPLY International Inc. (XRAY)

S -  Now here's a stock... this is a dental products company.  It's trading like it makes Maseratis and no one's buying them.  This is the kind of stock I look for in this environment.  This is the kind of stock that's not economically-sensitive and it's getting very cheap.  I would not sell XRAY here.

ARLP

24.62

na

Alliance Resource Partners LP (ARLP)

ARLP -  This is another one!  What does it yield?  12% now?  I mean, what is going on.  Look, there are stocks that are aberrations.  This company is inexpensive.  It yields 10%.  It markets coal to utilities.  They would love to stop using coal.  They can't!  What is it, with Obama, he's going to shut the coal plants?  He can't!  I think I like that stock.  Anything that can yield 10%, that can pay the yield, I am not cutting and running for... I am sticking with.

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

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.
