HK - This is one of the
Wildcat plays, and everyone has
given up on them... They had a
huge run... Another good article
about this yesterday... the
Haynesville Shale with my friend
Aubrey McClendon, who is
Chesapeake (CHK),
does Haynesville Shale... I
think to sell natural gas stocks
down here when natural gas is at
the $8 is a mistake... I'd
rather buy HK... I think that
that stock is a good one...
Remember, here is my pecking
order... I like wind and solar
and natural gas, and then I like
the integrated oils... They do
not have appeal to me... I do
not care for the major
integrated oils... They are not
discovering oil.
MA - You know... You know I
like MA... And I have liked it
since it came public... I did
not like that quarter... That
quarter had what we call hair on
it... There were actually some
things that did not compute for
me, including domestic costs...
I hate to go out negative on a
stock that has made us so much
money, that had what looked like
to be a good quarter... that is
the one I told you to take the
Visa Inc. (V)
IPO profits and go to MA... but
I want you to sell some MA... It
was just some, look... it wasn't
a great quarter... it just
wasn't what I expected... I want
to sell it... I do... I want to
take the profits in MA.
AGN - You know, I liked the
quarter... The Street felt that
the quarter wasn't strong
enough... I really don't
understand that... I think that
when we had the, honestly, I
went through the quarter with a
fine toothed comb... because
everybody is worried... We had
David Pyott on... at this level
you're absolutely right, it has
done nothing... It has done
nothing... But I do believe that
there is in the end, going to be
a strong demand, even in this
economy, for botox... I saw
numbers that looked good
there... I want to reiterate
that I think AGN is good... Are
other drug stocks better at this
point?... yes... but I like
AGN... And look at this drug
sector... how about
Imclone Systems Inc.
(IMCL)?...
Getting a bid from Bristol
Myers... How about the
Genentech Inc. (DNA)
that we said was good?... How
about
Celgene Corporation (CELG)?...
Again, going to highs... I am
not giving up... I am not giving
up on AGN.
ALJ - No, that's a
refiner... Now, I went through
the
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO)
conference call and I will tell
everyone to read Bill Cloister's
comments... he's a real good
guy... VLO... everyone wanted to
hang them a couple years ago
because they were making so much
money... They are doing so
badly... they are being so
squeezed with buying crude...
They used to buy Mayan crude,
the Mexican crude... but Mexico
is running out of oil... They're
paying a fortune for crude, and
then they're not making much at
the pump... That's ALJ's
problem... I do not like the
refiners... People have been
trying to call a bottom in
refiners for a long time... I
remember the 20 year bear market
refiners, and I don't want it...
Witness the fact that
Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO)
decided to split today because
it wants to get out of
refining... and that
Exxon Mobil (XOM),
almighty Exxon, got hurt by
refining... I don't like
refiners.
KO - Okay... Now today is a
good example... The market is
down 205, what does KO do, it
goes up... I would go over that
quarter again... I think it was
hurt by a lot of Suntrust
selling... Suntrust did a bad
job over the last year...
They've had to sell their core
position in KO, make a little
money... I went over that KO
conference call... there was
nothing not to like... I think
it's terrific... By the way, do
I think Pepsi is better than
KO?... I am starting to believe
they're not comparable... Pepsi
is a snack food company... it
really is... it's Frito-Lay with
a good beverage business... KO
is really a beverage business...
But you know what?... I like
them both... So does
Warren Buffett,
by the way, like KO... And that
still matters to me... I read
all these negative articles, I
don't care... it still matters
to me.
SBLK - I like SBLK... that
is one that I went and said that
was very interesting to me...
but I want to remind people that
I have circled the wagon of bulk
carriers ever since that Baltic
freight index went down and I
recommending only two of them
right now... I am recommending
Frontline (FRO)...
bountiful dividend... and I'm
recommending
Nordic American Tanker (NAT)...
Both of those get the Cramer
seal of approval... the other
one... I'm frankly saying don't
buy right here.
ERJ - You know,
Boeing (BA)
hit a 52-week low today... I
don't know if I can go with a
Brazilian airline company even
though, I have to tell you, that
company should be on fire... but
everybody hates these... Even
you know, I've got to tell you,
general dynamics had great, and
Textron Inc.
(TXT),
both had great aerospace...
Nobody cares... As long as BA is
going down, I can't touch that
stock... I am sorry... and I
like BA very much.
CBS - All right... CBS is
problematic... First of all,
they're a competitor... Now, the
quarter it didn't have a lot to
recommend itself... the company
needs more growth... It does
have a good yield... It's
problematic... It's a
problematic situation... It
needs more growth... Full
disclosure to my publisher...
Okay, so I don't to violate
anything... They publish
my books... I've had a long standing
relationship with the company...
they did my radio show... I wish
they had more growth... I think
that's fair to say... That's
where I am on the stock.
ACE - Nope, they've been
very cautious... But I've got to
tell you... that is the best
house in a bad neighborhood...
and I tell you that neighborhood
is filled with houses of pain...
Even
Prudential (PRU)
they didn't like...
MetLife (MET)
they didn't like...
Chubb (CB)
they didn't like... Chubb is so
good... I say
ix-nay because...
AFLAC Inc. (AFL)
they didn't like... I mean...
no!... It's too hard... the
insurance stocks, I'd rather own
a bank... Wow... I said 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

homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable

in a good position to be
