Jim's comments BEFORE the
interview:
Forget fuel cells... forget
hybrids... If you want to
know the fuel that our cars will
run on in the not-too-distant
future, I believe - unlike the
press... a fuel that's 40%
cheaper than gasoline and cuts
pollution by 90%... you don't
see that in the press...
look no further than compressed
natural gas.
We have 120 years of supply
right here in North America...
I say bye, bye dependence on
foreign oil... and we know
this isn't a pipedream...
because they've been running
cars and trucks on compressed
natural gas in Argentina on a
larget scale since 2002.
Hey, let's throw in the fact
that the price of natural gas is
flat year-over-year, down
horribly today... down to $7.20
today... while oil is still up
big.
And how about this?...
Horizontal drilling has let us
get to more natural gas in the
shales than we ever got before.
As long as you believe, as I do,
that natural gas can stay at
these levels, I mean, you've got
yourself the fuel of the
future... that not even
the democrats can object to...
That's why I've been
recommending
Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
(CLNE)...
on August 1st, and again
last Monday, because Nancy
Pelosi - the democratic speaker
of the House - is also a
shareholder.
This is a company that makes
natural gas fueling stations.
It's an enormous beneficiary of
low natural gas prices, which
should convice more states and
even the federal government -
not to mention consumers - that
compressed natural gas is the
way to go.
I want to hear more about this
company, so I've invited Andrew
Littlefair... I'm thrilled to
have this guy... he's the CEO of
CLNE... on the show to talk
about his company.
Mr. Littlefair, welcome to Mad
Money...

Jim's comments AFTER the interview:
This one's a winner! Come
on... It's only a matter of time before
people realize... Go read the
advertisement today... If you believe,
like I do, that this is the fuel of the
future,
Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
(CLNE)
is one of the best ways to play it,
especially when natural gas comes down
in price.

Round picks

Jim: Oh, it was
the best of times... it was the worst of
times... with the worst being the last
(part of the day today)...
But the takeaway from today's market is
simple... I believe the rally this
morning, albeit exaggerated, where the
Dow was up 244 points, was the real...
that was the real deal.
The selloff, down 27 this afternoon,
while irritating, I think was the head
fake. I think that was the false
move.
Why do I think this? Why am I
bullish? Well, frankly, because
everyone who comes on air and everyone I
read is way too negative.
That makes the expectations set very
low, and I think many of the companies -
with the exception of the commodity
companies - will blow away the
earnings...
The selloff today were started by
worries about a recession, and that's
why the Dow fell. That couldn't be
more wrong! The Dow isn't the
index you should be looking at right
now... that's not what you should
be worried about... you should
worry about about two different
indicies... the KBW Bank Index (^BKX)
and the
PHLX Housing Sector Index
(^HGX)...
They're the ones that signal whether or
not we're in a recession... and
those were both up beautifully today...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
I think there are just too many
positives, including the pervasive
negativity for you to be really bearish
right now. Don't take your key
from the last part of the market.
Take your key from the first part.
The turn you saw earlier today when the
Dow was up big, is for real... although
it was up too much. Don't be
fooled by the decline that followed.

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.
