Jim's Comments BEFORE
the interview:
Tonight, while we bask in
the glory of a 277+ point
rally, we are also trying
to take the pulse, we're
trying to do our own
channel check on the
American economy... We've
already talked to Michael
Ward, the
CSX Corp. (CSX) CEO, boy he
said some great things
about the economy...
Now I want to talk about
another part of the
economy that is very
consumer span sensitive,
yet another part that
everyone tells me has just
fallen off a cliff...
And that is apparel...
VF Corp. (VFC),
which you probably know as
North Face... Nautica,
EastPac, and a dozen more
different brands including
the one I can never
pronounce right, maybe
you'll help me... It's
like Napa Perie... VFC
just reported a better
than expected quarter
today, which is not
something you would expect
from retail if we're in
recession... I have long
thought that VFC is a
special, special, apparel
company, better than all
the rest, but I saw some
blemishes on the otherwise
quarter... Of course, this
company is so honest,
they're the ones who
pointed out the blemishes,
I didn't have to dig at it
like everyone else... But
it made me worry because
he brought them up... This
could be is it the last
good quarter... It may be
a bad idea to own even the
very best apparel maker in
this market because it
could be just the best
house in a real ugly
neighborhood... The CEO
pointed out that Europe
was weak for VFC,
specifically UK, Italy and
Spain... He said that cost
inflation has been hurting
them...
If you didn't know any
better, you'd say that the
stock should be down...
And the CEO, Eric Wiseman,
is a great guy and friend
of the show, made some not
so bullish statements
during the conference
call... We want to know if
the streak is over, he's
scared us... We came in
confident, and then
Wiseman worried us... So
we've got to find out if
it's time to sell VFC,
even though this is the
company with the longest
running string of estimate
beats in the whole retail
industry... It's true... I
verified that today... The
only way we're going to
find out is to talk to
Eric Wiseman, himself, the
President, and CEO of
VF Corp. (VFC)... Mr. Wiseman, Eric,
you scared me to death
with all those negatives,
what's going on?....
. . . .
.
Jim's Comments AFTER
the interview:
Guys, you got a winner
here... The stock is at
$73 when he pre-announced
better than expected...
$73 again, gasoline is
going down... People are
going to shop again... You
know what they're going to
buy?... They're going to
buy North Face, and
they're going to buy Napa,
forget it....

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. |
