[Beginning of Cramer's verbatim comments for this segment...]

In this segment, Jim takes 2-4 callers and asks them to submit five stocks that make up their largest positions in their portfolio.  He then comments on whether or not they are properly diversified...  See callers' portfolios below...

Jim:     When I tell you that I think you should own a stock… that does not mean that you should throw all of your eggs in one basket… even if you are almost positive that it will go up… uh uh, my friend… I won’t have any of that… because diversification is indeed the only free lunch in this business… and that is why, on Wednesday we play Am I Diversified?… this is where you call me, you tell me your top 5 holdings… and I tell you if your portfolio is diversified enough… or if you need to mix it up a little… this is about teaching… me teaching you, I got to do it… we all have to learn about this because it is the only safety you really have in a tough market… if it gets tougher than we are.

Caller:
     I want to know if I am diversified... Stocks are:
Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY*), Deere & Co. (DE), Bank of America (BAC*), Coinstar Inc. (CSTR), and Paychex Inc. (PAYX)?...

Jim:     Holy cow, fast talking too… well that is why we have these graphical representations…. John Deere, one of the finest machinery companies, ag business obviously… Bank of America, a name that I own for AAP, which is being suppressed by the shorts I believe, I think the stock is going to report a magnificent quarter… Coinstar, that that is that Red Box, we talked about that, now there are changes at the top there, and also doing a big convertible, we will call it entertainment alright… Weyerhaeuser, that is one that I have been buying for the trust, that is a great housing play, it is still the cheapest at $36, $37... Paychex, fantastic 4% yield and we know that is about people getting hired, I do not think this is going to be a jobless recovery, I think there is going to be a job recovery… so we have got a payroll processor, we have got a housing play, an entertainment play, an ag play, a bank play… I think that is magnificent… I think Frank knows just how to play this game… I think he is actually gaming the game.

Verdict:   YES, Caller's portfolio IS diversified.

Jim:     This is kind of the big G portfolio, I am surprised that he does not have General Mills…he does have General Mills… okay, here we go… Genzyme, a terrific bio tech company down on its luck right now, we are not backing away from Genzyme, we think that it is cheap… Goldman Sachs, I own it for my trust, obviously doing a great job, stock broke out to $170 today, we had a financial… Google kind of stuck right here, I think that is a mistake, I think the quarter is excellent, we know that as an internet play… Garmin is a global positioning company, it has gotten its act together, I referred to that earlier… and big G, General Mills, Ken Palle is doing a magnificent job, the stock should not have jumped $1.50 after the Cadbury’s target, but I have to tell you something, General Mills is not an expensive stock… so what do we have… we have got an internet play, we have got a global positioning play in tech, we have got a food play, we got a bio tech and we have got a finance… again… hallelujah… and hello to the boys in Champagne.

Verdict:   YES, Caller's portfolio IS diversified.

Jim:     I like that he kind of got a little summary there of everything… kind of like a little thumbnail sketch… okay, here is what we got… we have got an entertainment company in Imax… we got a pharmaceutical company, neither of these are really my favorites… but this is not about qualitative, it is more about diversification… US Steel, that is obviously a steel company… Microsoft is a tech… and Bank of America is a financial… we got a bank, we got a tech, we got a steel, we got entertainment, and we got pharma… holy cow, everybody understands this game… although, the five g was a little too much for me.

Verdict:   YES, Caller's portfolio IS diversified.

Because we view each episode after it airs at 6pm Eastern time, we need time to compile the comments, code the pages
and post to the site, thereby, we're usually able to post each night's episode
prior to the market open (i.e., 9:30am) the following business day.     Thank you!
