On
SYT...
JJC: I've always
felt that Europe had been very
inhospitable to American biotech,
whether it be seed... anything
that is food, that's augmented
artificially. SYT is that,
obviously, they embrace. This is
one of the few that's not at its
52-week-high. I would tell you
that I think this is a great buy.
You know,
Bunge (BG),
Monsanto (MON),
SYT... they all kind of trade
alike... and, anytime you get a
discount in one, I'd
pull the trigger.
. . .
. .
On
ABB Ltd. (ABB)...
JJC: This is a
nuclear play, and people see
Shaw Group (SGR),
up $3... It's quite obvious that,
without any sort of coal
restrictions in this country,
eventually nuclear will play
out... I have a piece in today's
New York Magazine, which talks
about how nuclear is really the
only option that McCain has given
us. There is really nothing else
that is at all clear about what he
favors, other than nuclear... ABB
is the nuclear company from around
the globe. They've got the orders,
they know how to do it... It's a
great engineering company based in
Switzerland.
. . .
. .
On
Deutsche Telekom (DT)...
JJC: No
growth... 7% yield... I think it's
obvious that they have to make a
move with
Sprint Nextel Corp.
(S).
Sprint has a giant installed base.
This would be a very easy play for
DT. I'm actually surprised at how
far this stock has fallen. They
need growth to get this thing
energized. It's an obvious one to
buy Sprint. It's obvious that the
Nextel acquisition didn't work
out... and Sprint would be
appreciably higher if it hadn't
(acquired Nextel). At the same
time, the installed base is for
real. It's being picked at. Before
it totally unravels, DT ought to
make its move. I don't know what
the hold up is...
. . .
. .
On
BP plc (BP*)...
JJC: I own this
for
my charitable trust. This is one
where everyone felt they were
going to get kicked out of
Russia... so it fell far more than
any of the others. It's got new
management. In America, we're very
impressed with them. We also
thought the previous management
was dumb as wood. So I think it's
really important to recognize that
this is a new V.P., and that the
yield is safe. Most of the U.S.
oil companies do not have good
yields anymore, because of the
giant moves that they've had. BP*
still has a 4% yield. Not bad.

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
