HERO

35.95

na

Hercules Offshore, Inc. (HERO)

HERO -  My hero!...  My hero, while I was watching the President talk about drilling... If only we had the ability to waive the magic wand, because I believe there's trillions of cubic feet of natural gas...  But HERO an obvious winner, if the President gets his way...  Even if he just gets his way in Florida...  Now we know, unfortunately, and we say unfortunately because I am a believer in "new technology"...  American technology has allowed us to be able to drill all over the world without spills, unlike Santa Barbara in 1969 with Union Oil...  No one is listening in this country... they're drilling away... but HERO is the right way to play it, if you think the President has good luck.

WIRE

22.30

na

Encore Wire Corp. (WIRE)

WIRE -  Yeah... you know, this is a problematic one... they are buyers of copper...  I think copper is going much, much higher.  They don't have an edge there.  I do not want to own the stock.  I worry that people don't understand the way the raw costs...  This stock, by the way, has been loved by traders for years.  It reminds me of wafer... of MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR)... This is a company that, in the end, is residential wiring... You don't want to be linked to residential wiring in the midst of a housing crisis!  

STO

33.80

na

StatoilHydro ASA (STO)

STO -  Excellent article this week in The Financial Times...  about the decline in the North Sea... and, while the British companies have felt the decline more than the Norwegian ones, STO is running out of oil.  We don't want to be in that oil, and it's very rare that I hit the bear button for any oil... We want to be in natural gas companies that are finding oil.  I've got one coming up after this Lightning Round... see it here...  but STO is losing oil so, therefore, in the end, will lose money for you, as a stock.

ARG

57.58

na

Airgas Inc. (ARG)

ARG -  I like ARG!  We like ARG.  We've had the CEO on...  We know that these are companies that are uniquely levered to new technology, that produce gasses that are necessary... (buzzer sounds)...  ARG is a company that produces a lot of the gasses that we need in order to get oil out of the ground, and natural gas out of the ground....  That's a fabulous business!  People don't understand... it's much less cyclical... it's levered to the price of oil and natural gas... therefore it's a win.

DGX

48.73

na

Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX)

DGX -   You know, I don't like them as much as Laboratory Corp. of America (LH)... I owned DGX for my charitable trust... I couldn't make a dime in it.  I just don't think it's as good as LH, which has got a lot more momentum.  I would swap out of yours and into mine.

LH

67.69

na

Laboratory Corp. of America (LH)

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

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.
