JJC:   Look, it would be easy for me to just come out and tell you how much money everyone lost... how bad the first half is... Uh, that's history.

Let's talk 2nd half...

Right now, we need stocks that aren't economically-sensitive, because the economically-sensitive ones are getting killed... because our awful economy is pulling down everything except for the one place that I hoped you were investing in, if you watch this show... our friends in oil and gas... and so, now, our nation turns its lonely eyes to Congress... for what I think is the next big boondoggle... medicare spending.

Because this bill is huge... We're expected to spend $454 billion on medicare this year. We spent $374 billion on it in 2006. This is a perfect example of how you can try to make money off our government that is of, by and for the corporation!

Oh, you thought medicare was about taking care of the elderly?... Please... no, no, no, my friends... It's about big giveaways for the corporations that are licensed to administer medicare...

More comments will continue here...

  Note:   We had a problem with these transcripts on our server, but they will be posted here as soon as they are completed.  Thank you.

The Bottom Line!:      Medicare is a huge, non-economically-sensitive giveaway to a lot of companies.  You're probably sick and tired of your tax dollars being given to a couple of huge corporations.  Now you can get your own rebate from the Feds.  You just have to know which ones are poised to benefit from the latest Medicare bill... and, for that, you've got to stick with Cramer...

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.
