On
Target (TGT)...
JJC: You've got
to go over this
Costco (COST)
call, which was really one of the
worst calls I've heard... which is
basically saying, listen, you
think that there's hope... there's
no hope. I like the company,
because it's growing at 13-14% and
now sells at under a 20x
multiple... TGT is absolutely road
kill... And I know that TGT master
trust of defaults in the credit
card are really, really
skyrocketing. Of the
retailers that are rolling over
right now, I think that the best
is TGT... Yeah, I would get out of
TGT...
. . .
. .
On
Verizon
(VZ)
and AT&T (T)...
JJC: Oh, this is
unbelievable... I mean, these
companies reported really good
quarters... I mean, they're so
hated, they're scary... The issue
is, suddenly, FiOS is no good...
FiOS is just rolling out in New
York... The analysts hate these
two companies so much. I mean,
T... they don't like it, because
the
iPhone
costs too much... and VZ, they
don't like it because T has the
iPhone... They say FiOS is no
good, but then they take down
Comcast (CMCSA)
and
Time Warner Inc. (TWX)
anyway. I think Ivan (Seidenberg,
CEO of VZ) can't win... Oh, and we
(CNBC) even trashed Ivan... I'll
tell you something... I can't get
into like bashing T and VZ, with
5% yields. The growth in cell
phone texting... the growth in
what I regard as being like the
visual texting... is just
incredible. I mean, no one gives
these companies credit at all...
they are despised. The analysts...
Whatever line was bad, they
decided to drill down on... T and
VZ are as hated as I've ever seen,
which usually means that some big
mutual fund like Fidelity comes in
and starts buying them. And then,
when T gets to $36, and VZ gets to
$40, they upgrade... The analysts
are lemmings in this situation.
The CEOs are bankable...

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
