On the Fed and a prediction of
an early Fed rate cut...
JJC: Look... the
Fed... they are the opposite of
everything that you want if you're
long, so the idea... they're not
going to do it. Does it
makes sense to do?
Absolutely. They should have
cut yesterday. I look at the
action in American Express
(AXP)
or the consumers... but, I've got
to tell you, we're obviously in
dire straits... The smugness
and the recklessness of the Fed I
think are extraordinary... If this
were sports, we would never allow
this kind of unaccountability...
. . . .
.
On the agriculture stocks...
JJC:
Mosaic (MOS)
is terrific. I think
Agrium (AGU)
is a catch-up trade with MOS.
MOS, at one point this week, was
down 10 points from where it is
now, and so, if you focus on that,
you're going to do better than if
you bet against
Procter & Gamble (PG)
at $70, even though I don't PG's
quarter is going to be that hot.
I do think
Coca-Cola (KO)'s
quarter is going to be good.
AGU made that great acquisition,
and I think it was a really good
trade that they did, and they did
the secondary... Now,
understand... today is just a big
short squeeze day... and
that's the game you play when
Countrywide
(CFC)
gets the bid...
. . . .
.
On the market action and stocks
in general...
JJC: I happen to be
partial to
Coca-Cola (KO),
because the commodity prices
peaked for them already.
PEP... Indra Nooyi has done a
remarkable job. The stock
was at $72.50 when they reported
and said that raw costs weren't
that good, and the stock
subsequently went to $79... But
these are all recession/depression
trades...
. . . .
.
On the financials and other
possible stock plays...
JJC: I think that
there's going to be an auction for
Washington Mutual (WM)
and it's going to go, because WM
has got a huge option arm... a
huge amortization problem...
the financials are just hideous
there.
Kerry Killinger (CEO of WM) is
doing his best to just do a bad
job... Now, here's the
thing... It'll be a takeunder,
like at
Countrywide
(CFC).
I do not feel like... WM, at
$15, is very much like CFC at $8,
which is... yeah, maybe you get
the big bid, but you don't make
any money...
Wells Fargo (WFC)
would want to buy it at $13.
WFC and
Bank of America (BAC)
would basically split the whole
country. There's no
anti-trust, because we can't
afford it... they have to look the
other way, because we can't have
two trillion dollars worth of
services just run amuck...
. . . .

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. |
