(see comments above for

RIMM - Look, I've
liked RIMM, and I've been wrong.
It went up $8 today. That
doesn't make me a genius,
because I rode it down. I
liked RIMM and I liked
Apple (AAPL).
Obviously, I got burned on RIMM.
AAPL, we started seeing some
buying.
Microsoft (MSFT),
on the other hand...
Julian Robertson came out today
and said he liked the stock very
much... but, again, this stock
just moved too much. I
cannot recommend a stock like
MSFT that just moved 3 points...
I can't do it. It's not
right. I am not a buyer of
MSFT up here.
SYY - This is a food
delivery company that sells to a
lot of restaurants... it
brings food to restaurants...
So why am I bullish? For
exactly the reason this
gentleman just said...
It's well run, and it's down a
lot, and it didn't have an
explosion (upward in its stock
price) today. I think SYY
is a buy right here.
PZE - Well, you
know... I like energy
companies that have more than a
4% yield, even if they're
located in Latin America, and
that one is, and that's a buy...
Anytime I can bet an energy
company with a greater than 4%
yield, you're going to hear me
pull the trigger...
buy, buy, buy... because
that's my sweet spot.
Yield, with energy, is great.
That's also, by the way, why I
like
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD),
up $4 today... and it's why I
like this
Kinder Morgan
(KMP),
up $6. So I seek dividend
and energy, and I pull the
trigger and I buy!
GOOG - Oh man...
Google... Google was up $50
today... No, uh... I
can't tell you to buy a stock,
up $50, when I think the
earnings are uncertain. I
mean, a lot of stocks traded
today like they were penny
stocks... and that worries me,
okay. A stock that could
be up $50 could be down $50...
don't buy, don't buy...
I'm taking a pass after an
up-$50 day. I think it's
too risky. Wait for a
pullback (and then buy).
CX - Very earnings
challenged... very earnings
challenged. Remember, this
is still - in the end - a
company that is involved with
building things, and the
building market is just soft
worldwide. So, this Cemex,
which is a very well-run
company, cannot be bought in
that environment. I cannot
get bullish on that until we're
further along in what is a
not-even-begun recession.
MTW - Oh, these guys
killed themselves... they killed
themselves with this buy...
They just got in a bidding war
with
Illinois Tool Works
Inc. (ITW),
which was dumb. I say
don't buy, dont' buy, don't
buy... As a matter of
fact, sell after the stocks up a
couple today.
PCP - I went negative
on PCP, after that
Boeing (BA)
strike, and I can't go positive.
You got a 10-point gain today...
Boy, it's obviously down... like
a lot of stocks that just got
killed. But, a 10-point
gain? I'm ready to lighten
up on PCP.
DELL - Yeah, I want to
sell DELL. I don't
think... You know, maybe
we get some strength tomorrow
and you sell DELL... sell,
sell, sell! It's one of
the least best performers in
tech. I think you sell to
lighten up on DELL.
CY - I think T.J.
(CEO)... He's been on the show,
telling us that things are
pretty good. I think
that's an inexpensive stock.
I'm willing to buy some right
here, with a P/E of $5!
That's ridiculous. That's
too darn cheap. I want to
be a buyer!
SCI - This is very
similar to what we talked about
with
Waste Management (WMI).
I liked it. They were
about to make a big for a
company. They made a bid.
It didn't work. They
stepped away. Same thing
with SCI. I agree with
you. I think it's good, I
think it's cheap. I'd
pull the trigger right
here. Now, remember, once
again... we had really strange
moves today... I'm not going to
recommend stocks up $10, on a
$60 basis... It's too
crazy for me... If you
have a stock that's going to do
poorly in a recession, because
it's business is going to slow,
and it's up $10... If you hold
onto that tomorrow, you're
making a big mistake... I want
you to not stick with those...

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.
