JJC:     You missed your chance to get in?...

You felt like you didn't get to take any action, because it fell apart in the last half hour, and you weren't paying attention?...

Then you should be salivating over next week.

I want you, right now, to stop crying... about the fact that you failed to catch 10% and 20% moves off the bottom this week...

If the Federal Reserve does nothing this week, as the papers were filled with this weekend, or maybe cuts by only a quarter of a percent, because they're worried about inflation again...  you are going to see these low prices once again... but this time, you'll be ready!...

That's what this Game Plan is all about...    

.  .  .  .  .

The Bottom Line!:     Figure out what you'll pay over the weekend and, if the market gives you a good price on a ConocoPhillips (COP*), or a Procter & Gamble Co. (PG), or an Altria (MO*), or a Schering-Plough Corp. (SGP*), or a Bear Stearns (BSC), you take it!

Second Segment
 
 
 
 
Final Segment 2 Title: 'More Than Skin Deep'

.  .  .  .  .

Featured Stock(s): Allergan Inc. (AGN)
 

        
JJC:   The front page... Wednesday's New York Times... I'm talking about this one (the headline)... 'Surgery Can Cure Diabetes'...  [See more details at LapBandCure.com]

I read a headline like that and, after musing about how wonderful the news is, I want to know where the money is!

Over 20 million Americans have diabetes... so any companies that are plugged into this surgery are going to be printing money. 

The study was about a kind of weight-loss surgery called gastric banding, where they put a band around your stomach...   That makes it smaller, and causes you to eat less...

That means the big winner here, after the millions of people with Type II diabetes, is... Allergan Inc. (AGN)...

Enter AGN with its Lap Band.... 

.  .  .  .  .

The Bottom Line!:     Allergan Inc. (AGN) is not just for fake breasts and botox skin... Now they can help cure diabetes. I'd buy AGN.

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.
