After this
segment, you can
see Jim's Opening
Segment picks
here...
|
On
Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)...
JJC: I think that, when you
look at these infrastructure
plays, they tend to react short
term to what should be long-term
views. I think his order book, and
he's been speaking... They've got
a trillion dollars worth of orders
they can bid on... Wait until
tomorrow, see if anybody cuts
numbers... and then buy SGR. I
think that SGR's got a great
long-term view.
. . .
. .
On
Circuit City Stores Inc.
(CC)...
No.
Best Buy (BBY)
is best-in-show, and it's given up
all the gains that it had, after
that better-than-expected quarter.
What's happened with these is
that, two days later, we forget
that there was anything good, and
we start selling them again,
because we feel like gasoline is
at $4 a gallon... I don't want to
touch CC... I don't want to touch
it. I think you're looking at the
pop... We're seeing a lot of the
so-called early-cycle retailers
just get clobbered today. I think
it's all off of the
United Parcel Service, Inc.
(UPS)
call. I think people now attribute
a lot of what's happening in
retail, because of online, to
UPS... So, if UPS is bad, we're
going to get a real shock to the
system, when we see the monthly
numbers. I am not going to
disagree with that. I think retail
is doing awfully.
. . .
. .
On Retail...
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY)...
Great balance sheet... I'm not a
buyer of it, but great balance
sheet... and we know, in the
papers today, there's still a lot
of talk about Linen's and Things
and whether they may have to file
bankruptcy... Pier 1 Imports
Inc. (PIR),
I think, is starting to make a bit
of a comeback but, again, I don't
want anyone to think that I'm
recommending any retail stock.
Other than
Costco (COST),
Urban Outfitters (URBN)
and
Wal-Mart (WMT),
we're recommending nothing on Mad
Money... I really feel like WMT's
very, very right here. BBBY has
got too much kind of "faux"
high-end... but, if Linen's and
Things shrinks, then it'd be very
good for BBBY. Somebody downgraded
URBN. I think it's a real bad
mistake... URBN has a
guerilla-style marketing business.
They put up Urban Outfitters in
up-and-coming areas... They have
very little competition... It's a
misunderstood story now for
multiple years. I like it on any
weakness. You know I like COST...
And WMT... this is WMT's time.
. . .
. .
On
Cisco
(CSCO)...
The numbers keep coming down. The
stock's going to go back to
$21-22.

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. |
