each) |

 |
WFMI |
22.67 |
na |
Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI)
WFMI - All right, I have
been negative on WFMI now
literally for probably for 20
points... Why?... Because I said
it's too expensive for most
people, even though I like to
shop there... Amazingly, it's
now a yield play, it yields
3.5%... I can not get behind
WFMI because it's too
expensive... I like
Costco (COST)
because it's down a lot... I
think WFMI is still at a price
where I don't want to buy it...
The other day I could say, I
talked about
Starbucks Corp.
(SBUX)...
That's now finally at a price I
want to buy it, at $14... WFMI
below $20, say in the $18,17
level, then I will embrace it...
That is the only time that I
will go bullish because that
company is costing people too
much to shop there as great as
it is.

HAL |
45.42 |
na |
Halliburton Company (HAL)
HAL - Okay, I'm in two minds
here... First of all, you were
not a hog... Remember, you were
up, virtually 50%, I recommended
HAL at our University of Texas
show when it was at $29... I
felt like I wanted to die when I
did it... Everybody was saying
it was horrible, it had just
missed the quarter and I went
out and I say buy HAL... Now,
the stock then subsequently does
indeed go to the $50's and come
back to $45... I thought the
quarter was okay... I actually
expected a better quarter...
Oils bouncing... Here's what I
would do... I would literally
ring the register on HAL... You've
got a great gain, I don't want
to see it go away... I think, if
you have to go in a driller,
you'd be better on
Nabors (NBR)
or
Schlumberger (SLB)...
I do not think that HAL's
quarter was that great... Take
the money home... Go buy some
nice sweaters.

|
IDCC |
19.95 |
na |
InterDigital, Inc. (IDCC)
IDCC - You know, this is the
king of pressure company... It
won a lot of lawsuits, I
shouldn't mention that because
it was at a rival school near
the one I was at growing up...
It won a bunch of lawsuits, went
really high, then came back
down, it was moving back up and
I want to ring the register...
It is still, in the end... it is
connected to wireless technology
and I am not a bull on wireless
other than a couple of smaller
companies and one big one that
tied in a patent dispute, so
let's say no to that.

|
|
HK |
32.26 |
na |
Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK)
HK - All right, everybody
has decided that every
Wildcatter after a huge run is
now finished... Now does that
make sense?... Natural gas went
from $13.60 to $8.99, which I
said would be long term
support... I think we're going
to test that again... Anybody
who's in these Wildcatters has
to recognize one thing, we have
said they were speculative,
we've said they were great, we
made a lot of money when they
were low, they ran up... We said
the griddle got too hot, we
jumped back in too quickly...
Here's the way I look at HK... I
believe that natural gas is
going to be the fuel until we
come up with an alternative...
And I am bullish, but I don't
expect this stock to turn around
until natural gas touches bottom
at $8, and then starts bouncing
back.

WMI |
36.03 |
na |
Waste Management (WMI)
WMI - You know we're big
backers at WMI, we've had that
CEO on many times, but he's
making a bid for the one that
we've been recommending lately,
which is
Republic Services Inc. (RSG)...
I think that right now, we need
to ring the register WMI,
because he's making that finish,
he's got to pay off and let's
ring the register RSG, right here...
I'm saying take profits in both
of them...

|
|
RCII |
24.07 |
na |
Rent-A-Center Inc. (RCII)
RCII - RCII is ideal in this
environment... I was talking to
my friend, Joe Curdy this
morning on Squawk Box, who was
talking about renting
handbags... RCII is actually a
company that makes all their
money on interest... When times
get tough, people rent... When
people rent, they pay
interest... We used to call this
time, you buy on time... RCII is
a rent on time place, I mean
time, I mean interest... And
that's what we want in this
environment... When things get
tough, people go to RCII, and I
know when things get tough
people go to Cramer!

Thumbs up - indicates

at the very least, not sell

think it is indicated by his
comments during the show.

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. |
