DRYS - Man, I'm a
submarine in action! I'm
going to torpedo you! Come
on! The only ones I'm
recommending are
Frontline Ltd. (FRO)
and
Nordic American Tanker (NAT).
And those aren't so good!
You have got to understand that
these tankers... the Baltic
Freight rates go down like the
Titantic... Everyday, the Baltic
Freight rates go down, and that
indicates what's going to
happen. So tankers are
ix-nay, except for those two,
because the balance sheets are
good... FRO and NAT...
DE* - I bought some
Deere the other day for
my charitable trust. Why did
I do that? Well, #1... The
stock has literally been cut by
two-thirds. #2...
business is actually good.
Why are people worried?
Because they're worried about
financing. DE* is a big
issuer of commercial paper.
Well, just the other day, the
Federal Reserve says, listen,
we're okay with commercial
paper, we'll buy it. I
think that the "much ado about
nothing" Deere slide is an
opportunity. Now, how fast
is the opportunity and why
should you
pull the trigger?
Because this is one of the best
companies in the world, it makes
the best farm equipment, and the
United States is still king of
equipment, and we are still in
worldwide famine mode, even if
we do not use as much ethanol as
we did once. I rest my
case!
NVS - What is not to
like about these drug stocks?
I don't understand...
Every day, people come in and
sell them. That's a
mistake. I'd
pull the trigger on NVS
right here!
ABB - People are
cutting numbers, people are
cutting numbers... Do I
think that's right? I
think the big infrastructure
projects are still on... I think
the Chinese are still on...
I think that people are still
building things... but, you know
what? I have fought this
battle long enough and, while I
like the stock... don't buy,
don't buy... It did trade
at $13 today. The numbers
are coming down. I am
going to wait until it goes back
to $13, before I
pull the trigger,
because people have completely
given up on infrastructure, and
I am tired of whacking people...
it's a big hedge fund name.
We have had other infrastructure
names go down every single day,
and this one's more expensive
than them.
AIB - You know, I look
at that AIB yield, which is 13%,
and you know what I call that?
That's a red flag (warning)!
When we see yields that are that
big, we think of Bank of
America, which cut its dividend
in half! I've got to tell
you... AIB was at one time one
of my biggest positions when I
used to run money
professionally... I'd go over to
Ireland, which is absolutely one
of my favorite countries... I've
been there a couple of times,
and AIB is a great-run bank, but
anything involved in banking in
Europe is now in total
bear-market mode. I'm not
pulling the trigger on AIB.
APC - Alright, let's
have just a word about natural
gas... First of all,
natural gas is exactly where it
was last year at this time.
I know that sounds
unbelievable... Why does
it sound unbelievable?
Because... and let's use
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK)...
let's use them all... CHK
is down almost half from where
natural gas was last year...
down half. APC is the same
thing. I want one of these
natural gas guys to come on air,
because I think that, when they
didn't get the auto bill, that
was going to be compressed
natural gas (CNG), and the fact
that oil's coming down,
everyone's given up on these
stocks. I say pick one
natural gas company and buy it
down. They don't have good
yields, but I've got to tell
you... I cannot recommend
the sale of APC down here.
That is just ludicrous. I
can't believe how low it is
though. It's owned by
hedge funds... hedge funds gone
wild... and they're killing
their own stocks.
EMR - EMR is another
stock I'm going to spend
tomorrow atoning for...
This is one of my "new
technology" stocks, because they
make things we really need, and
in the meantime, the stock is
just unbelievably cheap.
It goes down everyday...
That's hyperbole... and I've got
to tell you something... I think
EMR is dirt cheap and no one's
listening. No one's
listening to Cramer on the
industrials, so Cramer's zipping
his lips up and he's not going
to recommend EMR, because he's
tired of assassinating people
with industrials.
VZ - You know, right
now, the rumor is that Verizon
is going to walk away from the
Alltel deal and, in the
meantime, VZ has got a great
yield. Has that mattered
for VZ or
AT&T (T)?
T and VZ both yield 6.5%.
Now, can you get hurt in either
stock yielding 6.5%?
Absolutely. This is one of
the worst markets I've ever
seen. Do I like VZ with a
6.5% yield? Yes. Do
I think VZ is solvent and doing
well? Yes! Do I want
to
pull the trigger on VZ?
Yes. I'm sorry, I'm not
backing away. I'm not.
GT - No, look... GT
should be going up because the
raw costs are going down.
Obviously, it's petroleum, but
the car business is so horrible,
I'm not a buyer... I'm not a
buyer.
RIG - Well, first of
all, congratulations. This
stock traded in a 10-point range
today... a 10-point range.
This is the premier deep-water
driller. It does not have
a dividend, which would have
helped... but I will tell you
right here, right now, that
you've got a great price, and
you know what you should do?
I think you should take the
trade (and sell)... that's how
awful this market is.
You've made 7 points... I want
you to take the 7 points, and I
want you to book them... and,
after you've booked them, I say,
"hallelujah!"...

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.
