Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

PMC

22.18

na

PharMerica Corporation (PMC)

PMC - I like these... This is a drug, they provide drugs to nursing homes... Boy, I got to tell you, assisted living, I certainly like this more than Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (BKD) or Sunrise Senior Living Inc. (SRZ)... Although, I've got to tell you, the guy who runs Sunrise Senior Living, Mark Gordeas is willing to debate me about the worth on his stock... I think this is a great way because it reminds me of MedcoHealth Solutions Inc. (MHS), which also reported a fine quarter, but is stalled... This is a great way to play a slowing economy and I'm going to look at it myself... I should have done a segment on it.

TC

15.70

na

Thompson Creek Metals (TC)

TC -  TC is a Molybdenum play... Molybdenum is in short supply... I like it longer term... I understand that a lot of these special metals just collapsed here because people feel like we're going into a recessions, I think the ones that are under short supply, there's not a lot of Molybdenum, there's not a lot of copper, I think those still work... But people have given up, they have given up, so you've got to take a look at a longer term view of it because right now, Molybdenum is just going lower.

TWX

14.16

na

Time Warner Inc. (TWX)

TWX - Oh, you know, I've got to tell you... I feel bad for Ivan Steinberg (CEO of Verizon) and the great team at
Verizon (VZ), because they didn't add like seven people to FiOS this quarter, all the analysts hated FiOs... Meanwhile, they crushed TWX because of FiOS... You can't have both of them... FiOS is taken name with TWX and I think it's going to succeed... I think FiOS is really going to dent TWX's cable service in New York, and the rest of the company, frankly, isn't doing well... Boy, I feel bad for the guy who is running the company because he seems like a nice person, but I don't want to own TWX.

MTL

19.50

na

Mechel Open Joint Stock Co. (MTL)

MTL - Putin basically wrecked it... I mean, I've never seen anything like it... Russia was this thriving stock market, we were making a lot of money with Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods (WBD) and MTL, and he just took the market away... I mean, you know, he became a communist again... They just literally disenfranchised this company... He's doing the same thing to this one that he did to the British joint venture and BP plc (BP)... I can not believe this guy and it has made me regret that I even looked at Russia... He has got to reverse this... This is incredible... No, I will not sell it down here... He has got to reverse it or no one will ever put another dime in Russia ever again... What an outrage.

POT

198.65

na

Potash (POT)

POT - You know, I've got to tell you... If POT is... On Friday, I, you know, these stocks had a big run on Thursday, I cooled to them, just because I am very conscious of the fact that I believe the ethanol mandate will eventually be repealed by a new common sense of the President, who recognizes, as we saw today from Tyson Foods (TSN), which had an unbelievable, like 90% raw cost increase, mostly, I believe, because of ethanol... that this has to be repealed... and when it is, believe it or not, POT will still do well... That's the one I like the best... I will provide others that will not do as well... If you have to own one fertilizer company, it will be POT... But look out... After listening to that Tyson conference call, I don't know how this government maintains this mandate... It is costing everybody fortunes... And, as we saw in The New York Times this weekend, no one wants to fill up with the junk.

DCI

43.61

na

Donaldson Company Inc. (DCI)

DCI - You know, this stock, this company keeps supporting great numbers after great numbers after great numbers... This is one where the stock is good, the market is bad... Pollution control is not going away... Filtration is not going away... Someone is going to buy DCI if it keeps going down... I want to buy, buy, buy DCI... And, I want to emphasize again, very hard market, try not to add too many buys, use wide scales... It's ugly out there, but not everything should be sold.

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.
