Segment picks
here...
On
Polaris Industries, Inc. (PII)...
JJC: Tom, you
have a product that burns a lot of
gasoline that is completely
unnecessary... Why would anyone
buy a product that means they have
to pay a lot more than they did a
year ago?... Harley is not seeing
that at all... Very impressive...
That's a needle in a hay stack to
be honest there... I mean, there
are so many companies... You
listen to what Wagner said at GM
today where the SUV is becoming
obsolete... Almost every consumer
aspect that anything that is other
than a staple, people aren't
buying... So he must have quite a
product... Well, look, they like
NASCAR but look at the
international speedway, look at
those stocks, they're hitting
52-week lows... Here's a leisure
activity unlike hunting, unlike
fishing, unlike mountain climbing,
unlike baseball... I'm thinking
about what is sold at
Dick's Sporting Goods Inc.
(DKS)...
I mean, Dick's has been a terrible
stock...
Cabela's Inc. (CAB)
has been a terrible stock... So
he's bucking a lot of trends...
That's a gem... That's a gem... I
don't have a lot of consumer based
interesting companies that can
buck this trend... I just don't...
It's certainly not going to be one
of the big staples... I mean,
look, today,
Clorox Co. (CLX),
Kimberly-Clark Corp. (KMB),
I mean, I never thought of those
as discretionary... Suddenly they
are discretionary and they're not
making the kind of money that they
used to... I know, it wasn't...
But they're not doing well... But
of course, their raw costs are way
up... The production is 70% based
on oil...
. . .
. .
On
trading Clorox (CLX), Kimberly-Clark (KMB),
and Procter & Gamble (PG)...
JJC: Well, you
know, I have to tell you that at
one point Kimberly was down so low
today it was kind of compelling...
CLX hasn't even gotten it down yet
for heavens sake... And I was
talking to David Faber off-camera
talking about how small cap a lot
of our big companies are... CLX is
$6 billion company... Look,
tomorrow it could pre-announced
but I mean think about all the
billions it took to be able to
build those brands... And here it
is for $6 billion dollars and
obviously if you're doing it in
Euros, it's $4 billion... A lot of
our companies will be given away,
whether it be Sprint, we just saw
a bunch of companies... You know,
look, everyday we have an American
company that is quite obviously
Anheuser-Busch
(BUD),
I mean, that was incredible... I
can't believe they stole Bud like
that... I can't believe it... Bud
is the king... It's a great
American brand that turned out to
be worth in their currency, very
little and it's just an example...
I heard Bernanke say today that
the dollar, that it has nothing to
do with the budget deficit... That
a lot of the countries doing quite
well do not have budget deficits
and their currencies do not have
budget deficits...
. . .
. .
On
Lehman Brothers
(LEH)...
JJC: Some nice
irony, she always blamed the hedge
fund for knocking her stock down,
now she's the hedge fund
concierge... I mean, come on...
And you know, the idea, I
understand Charlie said she was
well respected... Frankly, I'm not
going to say anything about
that... I think that so many
things speak for themselves right
now, you don't need me to say
it... I'm evoking my nana Mary's
adage... if you don't have
something good to say, don't share
it... I'm doing that about
Washington Mutual (WM),
about
National City
(NCC),
I'm going to start doing that
about
Downey Financial
(DSL),
I'll certainly do that about
Huntington Bancshares
(HBAN)...
Maybe I'll throw in
Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB)...
I have nothing bad to say...

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
bought at this point.
