JJC:
Wall Street needs help
from Washington...
Main Street needs help
from Washington...
We need dramatically lower
interest rates, and we
need them yesterday...
So, you know us... we are
not above asking...
begging for help... so we
sent our bull to
Washington, armed with
your beseeching valentines
to Ben Bernanke, to help
the cause...
. . . .
.
What happened?...
What did he do?...
He rejected your
diddies... your
homilies... your iambic
pantameter...
Actually, more
accurately, a security
guard did...
. . . .
.
It's clear that we need
a solution and I think
it's rate cuts and
government funding.
We need lower rates...
government intervention
for the wayward gang of
insurers...
We need the FHA to
insure 30-year mortgages
that cannot be paid
conventionally...
and now we need the Fed
to buy all these
bonds...
. . . .
.
That's the way out of the mess
but, to me...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
To me,
the bottom line looks like
the reception our bull
got, is the same reception
our plans get...
nothing, bupkis, nada...
the ones we've been saying
here for a year now, and
that we really punctuated
in our August meltdown...
Maybe Bernanke will do the
right thing, if he hears
it coming from himself.

JJC: Natural
gas and infrastructure are
back baby! Even on a
day like today...
Earlier in the week, the
tape spoke loud and clear,
beginning Tuesday, telling
us that these two sectors
are now working, and must
be bought, if you want to
try to make some money,
despite what's going on
with the so-called credit
markets...
True, the nat gas stocks
came down today, but oil
was still going strong...
Oil is the umbrella that
allows this move to
happen...
As long as oil goes
higher, natural gas should
too. Call it the
replacement fuel, as other
fossil fuels become more
expensive...
We call upon nat gas,
instead, as the cleaner,
cheaper alternative...
. . . .
.
Now,
on days
like
today,
when
Uncle
Ben
(Bernanke,
Fed
Chairman)
spurs
our
valentines,
oil is
the only
thing
that
works...
I
believe
that
this
natural
gas move
is for
real,
and we
could
see that
stuff
north of
$10
bucks
next
year...
. . . .
.
That
means
there is
one
stock
that
embodies
the
strength
in both
natrual
gas, and
the
infrastructure
stocks
that
move
higher
with
it...
The
stock?...
Willbros
Group
(WG)...
an
engineering
and
construction
firm
that
caters
to
energy
markets
by
building
and
maintaining
pipelines...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
Natural
gas and infra(structure)
have returned... a la
General MacArthur... But,
unlike our American
Caeser, I doubt WG is
going to fade away.
Instead, I think
Willbros Group (WG)
is going to $45 bucks...
. . . .

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. |
