JJC:
We've made you money off
war... We've made
you money off death...
We've made you money off
pestilence...
Tonight, we're going to
try to make you money off
famine... Yeah, the
whole fourth horseman of
the apocolypse...
We've got new guys to hook
our hat on... and you know
them, but we've decided to
organize them tonight,
because they're under
assault.
It's the 'Fab Five' of
agriculture...
Mosaic (MOS),
Potash (POT),
Agrium (AGU),
Monsanto (MON),
and Deere (DE).
Now, you know I've talked
endlessly on this show...
aobut how our ethanol
subsidies have turned
agriculture into a
federally-mandated bull
market while, at the same
time, crucifying mankind
upon a cross of ethanol...
But I haven't focused so
much on the global famine
angle... which has
been just as big a driver
of the ag stocks, if not a
bigger one... And
you're going to have to
keep it in mind, because
this group's about to take
a hit...
See, it's especially
important to mention
beyond ethanol, because
the ethanol story had
cracks in it today...
Just today, Cargill,
a big industrial
agricultural company
suspended plans to build a
$200-million ethanol
plant, and the ag stocks
went down all day, despite
oil going up...
That's an important
disconnect we haven't
seen.
But the major thing here,
the major point... is that
ethanol isn't the only
story...
So, as people give up on
it, because of ethanol, I
want you to be thinking
about famine too.
And this plant
cancellation gives us an
opportunity to talk about
the other really horrible
side.
. . . .
.
I want to talk about the
group tonight, because
you are going to hear,
over the next few days,
that the group is
finished, over,
ka-put... because of the
Cargill plant
cancellation.
And because crop price
increases - part of the
driver here - have just
gotten so sky-high that
they can't go higher...
I want you to steel
yourself, so that you
can get back in, when
the momentum smoke
clears... and I am
warning you that the
selloff is going to
occur, so I need you
ready to get back in...
because famine -
horribly, sadly - isn't
going away, just because
Cargill isn't building
an ethanol plant,
because the economics
are bad...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
If you want to do
something to stop the
famine, buy my 'Fab Five'
of ag...
Mosaic (MOS),
Agrium (AGU),
Potash (POT),
Deere (DE)
and Monsanto (MON),
and donate your profits to
the U.N. World Food
Program. And, if you
just want to make money,
get ready for this ethanol
glut story that you're
going to hear over the
next three days, and put
the money to work in the
Fab Five, as they go
down... and keep the
profits for yourself.

Jim's comments BEFORE
Interview:
I
want to tell you a
story... I'm going to tell
you a story about how
business really works in
this country, okay...
Let's say that there's an
alleged scandal about a
company... someone's
coming out and saying
something negative...
even if he's a convicted
felon... it's got a
bad story about a company,
challenging the company's
ethics... Do
you know what most CEOs do
when they hear that
story?... They
huddle with their
lawyers... and then they
get under the desk... they
hide! They're not
going to come on TV... Oh,
no... That would expose
them!...
Well, how about if there's
someone who makes an
exception?... A guy
who comes right on Mad
Money... says the charges
are nonsense... believes
in his company... says the
company's going to be
buying back stock to take
advantage of it...
What do you do with a guy
like that?...
I tell you what you do...
you stand behind him!
Buy, buy, buy!...
like we did on Mad
Money!...
When Herbalife (HLF)
was at $37, Michael
Johnson, the chairman and
CEO of HLF, a company
whose products I have
tried... These
are energy, weight
management... they do a
lot for you...
He came on our show and
said the charges are
nonsense, and you should
believe... and the company
is going to do well.
They just reported...
The stock is now up 8
straight bucks from when
he came on... When
he showed guts... probably
defied his lawyers...
all the people...
because he's a man of
truth, and he's got a
product that is blowing
the doors out of the
joint...
Michael Johnson... welcome
back to Mad Money!...
. . . .

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. |
