Opening Segment 1

'TXT Message'

Round picks

JJC:
Even an idea that's
completely and utterly
dead wrong can lead us to
a stock that's totally
right... Here's the
perfect example...
It's an email that someone
sent. I'll read
it...
Email Question:
Hi Cramer, I'm
thinking the golf cart
makers might be a great
place to invest, since all
the Baby Boomers will need
these things to get around
their retirement
communities. They
will probably buy these
things even in a down
economy and with inflated
fuel prices, since they
are fuel-efficient too.
I see that
Textron Inc.
(TXT)
owns E-Z-GO, one kind of
golf cart. Do you
agree and what is the best
way to play this one?
JJC: Nope.
I don't agree... The
short answer is no.
I don't think golf cart
makers are a good secular
growth play on aging baby
boomers. I think
it'll be a while yet
before we even start
needing those... But
I get this email about
Textron, and it gets me
thinking... it gets me
thinking about the
stock... it puts it
in my head, right?...
And then... boom! I
see the headline in the
New York Times today...
Bush Given Iraq War
Plan With A Steady Troop
Level... Any Decision on
Major Reductions Is Likely
to Be Left to the Next
President...
It looks like troop
levels will stay the same
in 2008, because Bush has
told us time and again,
he'll do what (General)
Petraeus wants him to
do... and Petraeus just
said there should be no
troop drawdown this
year... Maybe
Petraeus has got some
stock in Textron... maybe
he should... because this
company, which gets almost
30% of its sales from
building things for the
military, should do very
well, as long as the war
keeps going, and we keep
needing to replace
equipment, send over new
missiles, and upgrade our
vehicles.
Those are the vehicles to
think about, not the
E-Z-GO...
. . . .
.
Textron Inc.
(TXT)
is a mosaic... of a
company. And it's
down 27% since early
December, because it has a
financial component...
and investors are worried
it might be the next
CIT Group, (CIT).
That's ridiculous!
TXT's financial segment
made up only 6.6% of its
revenues in 2007, yet
they're ripping it!
A lot of their financial
arms is lending people
money to buy TXT products,
like Cessna Jets, E-Z-GO
golf carts... like our
viewer mentioned in the
email about that...
The email is why I value
your correspondence so
much. Even if
you don't have a good
idea... we can still get a
good stock out of a wrong
idea, like we did with
TXT...
. . . .
.
There's no reason to fear
for this stock, so the
fact that it's down big...
I call it a great
opportunity to get in on
the military action...
[ See all previous
comments and
recommendations from Jim
for TXT
here... ]
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
Even a wrong-headed idea,
from a viewer who was
trying to find ways to
make money, can lead us to
a great stock. And,
with troop levels staying
the same in Iraq through
2008, it's time...
We have been right on
Raytheon Co. (RTN*)...
We have been right on
Lockheed Martin (LMT)...
We were right on
Northrop Grumman (NOC)...
We were right on
General Dynamics Corp. (GD),
and I am telling you right
now, we are going to be
right on
Textron Inc.
(TXT).

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. |
