The Lightning Round:
Monday, June 22, 2009

See all of Jim's comments and thumbs up or down, when callers call into the show during the Mad Money Lightning Round Segment, below...

Jim:     Before we get to the Lightning Round, I want to tell you what my Dad said to me right after Friday’s family affair show… he said that you were kind of enough to salute all of those nice people who are on the floor… but how about those people in the control room… how about your director… how about all of those people who answer the phones and make the show look so great every night… you forgot them… Pop is right, Pop is always right… so lets do what I should have done Friday… because as my Dad reminded me, it is never too late to get things right… this is the control room, a place that is so sanctified that I am never allowed into it while doing the show… that is right, tonight we violate the sanctity of the control room with our special behind the scenes thank you.

In the front room, we have our director Brian… then there is the guy who tells me when to buzz me… that is my live producer George… and then you have Chris, Gwen and Jim who make the show look so great… then there is the middle row… there is Kate and Brandon, those are all of the producers that book our guests and write the funny decos… the yellow things at the bottom of the screen that half support my thesis and half make fun of me… though they think that I do not know about it.

Then there is Jim back in audio… and Jackie… and someone named Candy in the phone room, Candy is actually out here… she is doing double duty because she is such a huge hog for fame… and they get the Lightning Round callers pumped… and here is Heather and Isia… and of course the bull, he is a vital part of the production… I just wanted to mention because it is so easy to feel like that it is just us out here on the floor… thanks guys.

Now it is time for the Lightning Round…

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

DNDN

24.54

Dendreon Corp. (DNDN)


Jim:   Dendreon has moved a lot… and you can say, wait a second Jim you did not tell us to buy it… so who are to tell us that it has moved a lot… all I can tell you is that this is a stock that got some good news from the FDA… everyone is really crazy about it… I would prefer it to come in… but then again, I always disclose when I get something right… I did not think that Dendreon would get approval, it got approval… it is up too much for me… you make your own judgment.

GOOG

407.35

Google, Inc. (GOOG)


Jim:   Okay, remember it is just a company… we cannot love it… it is just a piece of paper, we do not care where you bought it… but we do not want you to be greedy… I have to tell you, I have had this kind of epiphany in the last few weeks as I like Google and I think the quarter is good… but every time I type in some wrong page on the internet, I am immediately brought to Bing by the worldwide conspiracy that is Microsoft (MSFT)… and it is so brilliant that Microsoft did this, that I find myself using Bing… and I cannot bet that I am the only one that is having that happen… I think that the mind share is going toward Bing… and that is hurting Google stock… although I still think that Google will have a good quarter.

SBUX

13.71

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX)


Jim:   I do not want to buy it yet… but my problem is that
McDonald's (MCD*) is there, McDonald’s is very aggressive and I like that stock… and I do not think that the turn is complete yet at Starbucks… we still have some time to get into that stock.

McDonald's (MCD*)

PCLN

106.79

Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN)


Jim:   Last couple of quarters have been monster good but the stock is a wild roller coaster… I think that it is too difficult to recommend to my audience in Mad Money… just too hard.

CWTR

5.47

Coldwater Creek Inc. (CWTR)


Jim:   It has got a new CEO.. I think that it is doing a lot of right things… but there are a tremendous number of retail stocks that are making a turn here that I like even more… so I cannot recommend Coldwater… look if you want to go along those lines of turned ones, the one that I still like is Urban Outfitters (URBN)… but I am not recommending any retail at all in this market… because that is the most difficult segment… I think we will get a better summer… but you know, retail, just too hard to own.


 

URBN

20.47

Urban Outfitters (URBN)
