Jim's comments BEFORE the
interview:
On Mad Money, we think there's a lot
of money to be made treating
sleep apnea... a disorder where
people have trouble breathing
during sleep, that's been linked
to diabetes, obesity,
hypertension... both
because only about 10% of the
estimated 35 million people in
America who have it are getting
treatment and because, this
fall, thanks to a decision by
Medicare regulators, it will be
easier than ever to diagnose
sleep apnea, as Medicare will
pay for patients to get
diagnosed at home, instead of
only paying for tests that force
patients to spend the night at a
sleep lab.
There's only one publicly-traded
company... it's a pure play on
this...
ResMed Inc. (RMD),
which makes the machinese that
are used to both treat and
diagnose sleep apnea... a happy
duopoly with Respironics.
That one got bought by
Philips Electronics NV (PHG).
Both companies control about 40%
of the market.
The stock's up 13.4% since
I recommended it on July 1st.
I think there's a lot more
upside, which is why I've got
RMD's president and CEO, Kieran
Gallahue on the line to talk
about the company's prospects.
Welcome to Mad Money, Mr.
Gallahue...
. . . .
.
Jim's comments AFTER the interview:
I've got to tell you... You
know, we're up 13% in a tough market.
I was thinking of saying well, listen,
don't buy it... I found him pretty
compelling. You've got to stay in
this one... you've got to stay in
ResMed Inc. (RMD).

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. |
