day |
Full Company Name & Jim's
Comments: |
|
 |
VZ |
33.03 |
Verizon
(VZ)
Jim:
I have to say two thumbs up,
Verizon... because it still
yields 5% and change. So I say
buy Verizon, and then... but
don't buy it all at once...
pull the trigger
here for half the position, and
then hope it comes down.
|
|
 |
AA |
12.93 |
Alcoa, Inc. (AA)
Jim:
No, no, no (caller asked if he
should wait to buy)... Alcoa,
that quarter was just terrific.
People don't understand. The
stock is not up nearly enough. I
think Alcoa... you've got to
listen to the conference call.
It was a really great conference
call. People don't understand
cash flow. I think the Alcoa
story is a much, much higher
story.
|
|
 |
WFC |
25.65 |
Wells Fargo (WFC)
Jim:
Problematic. Wells Fargo is a
very big mortgage player. I
think of it as a fantastic bank.
But you read the same stories I
do. And it's just incredible. I
mean, here we had a good day and
then, sure enough, Wells Fargo,
down 30 cents. The bears are not
going to relent on this name.
They are going to continue to
claim that they are the one that
is hardest hit by this mortgage
moratorium. I like it, but
believe me... It is going to be
one tough stock to own. It feels
very $49-er-ish.
|
|
 |
MAS |
12.08 |
Masco (MAS)
Jim:
Yes! I think Masco is cheap. But
let me also add that I think
that
Stanley Black & Decker (SWK*)
is a cheaper stock. I like that
one very much.
|
|
 |
SWK* |
62.73 |
Stanley Black & Decker (SWK*)

DPZ |
na |
Dominos Pizza Inc. (DPZ)
Jim:
I like it, even at $14... buy,
buy, buy! I've liked it all the
way since $7. I like Dave
Brandon. The guy before, I liked
too. He was at the University of
Michigan.
|
|
 |
BAC* |
na |
Bank of America (BAC*)
Jim:
I like Bank of America... buy,
buy, buy! I own it for
my charitable trust,
ActionAlertsPlus...
Stephanie Link, who's the
Research Director, and I
continue to believe that, one
day, these banks will turn.
However, I am chagrined, if not
annoyed, by the $144 billion
that Wall Street's giving out
(as bonuses). I hope Bank of
America is prudent with its
money.
|
|
 |
WMT |
na |
Wal-Mart (WMT)
Jim:
Yes! I don't know, guys are
downgrading it. Guys don't know
the story as well as I do...
buy, buy, buy! It's painful to
listen to them.
|
|
 |
NUE* |
na |
Nucor (NUE*)
Jim:
I think Nucor is terrific...
buy, buy, buy! Even though Dan
DiMicco, my friend, is the CEO.
He seems so downbeat. Not me! I
think Dan... oh boy, a big "head
and shoulders" pattern. I do
believe that the dividend's
safe, and I like Dan.
|
|
 |
VLCCF |
na |
Knightsbridge Tankers Limited
(VLCCF)
Jim:
No. I am not going to recommend
any of these. Don't buy, don't
buy. Everytime I do. Like I did
a Chinese stock... I do a tanker
stock... I get it wrong. I'm
sitting with
Nordic American Tanker (NAT).
No other stocks am I going to
recommend in that group.

SKS |
9.97 |
Saks Inc.
(SKS)
Jim:
Look, if you're in it for a
takeover, I definitely want you
to take profits. I do not think
there will be one. As it is, on
an earning's basis, it is now
overvalued versus its
fundamentals, particularly when
it comes to stocks like
Ross Stores (ROST),
which I like very much, or TJX,
or HD, which is down a lot
because of worries about
housing.
My charitable trust
owns it. So, if you're owning
it, and you think it's going to
get a takeover bid, I say forget
about it. It's not going to
happen. I think the stock is $2
bucks ahead of itself. It's got
a decent earnings profile, not
great. I'd rather see you in the
cheaper ones... the
Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY),
the
Best Buy (BBY),
the
TJX Companies (TJX).
They're all better than Saks. So
is
Williams-Sonoma (WSM)...
and even, down here,
Urban Outfitters (URBN).

EP |
13.31 |
El Paso (EP)
Jim:
Well, that's precisely why I
don't want to buy it (i.e., how
low natural gas prices will
effect the company). Now if I
want pipeline and transport...
and this stock has run
tremendously... I'm going to
send you to
Energy Transfer Partners
(ETP).
When I spoke at the 92nd Street
YMCA last night, I was amazed of
how few people have actually
heard of this company. Or I
would also prefer
Inergy LP (NRGY).
ETP yields 7.23%, and I think
that yield is safe. ETP is a
better name.

JNJ |
63.58 |
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
Jim:
I like it more than the
(Football San Diego) Chargers'
chances here, although I
understand that Norv Turner
(head coach) is a nice man. I
think Johnson & Johnson should
be sold... sell, sell, sell! I
prefer
Abbott Laboratories (ABT).
Better growth, better balance
sheet, better management.
|
|
 |
ABT |
53.18 |
Abbott Laboratories (ABT)
See JNJ comments above for:
ABT

TEN |
31.19 |
Tenneco Inc. (TEN)
Jim:
It's had too much of a run. May
I point you toward
Johnson Controls (JCI*),
which I talked about with Erin
Burnett today... A big meeting
yesterday. Three firms squawked
about it today. I think it goes
much higher. JCI is much cheaper
than your name. I like it right
here, so much
the charitable trust
owns it.
|

JCI* |
32.29 |
Johnson Controls (JCI*)
See TEN comments above for:
JCI
|
|
 |
ARMH |
18.27 |
ARM Holdings, plc (ARMH)
Jim:
Yes you do (continue to hold
it). It's one of my attenuated
Apple plays, along with
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS),
which is hitting a 52-week
high... and
Cirrus Logic (CRUS),
which is giving up the ghost
falsely. I think Arm Holdings is
the reason why Intel, which I
own for
my charitable trust,
is stuck here. I like Arm
Holding, I like Cirrus, and
you'd better believe that I
think that
Apple (AAPL*)
is the best game in town.

DE |
75.09 |
Deere & Co. (DE)
Jim:
Deere is going to $100. It's
going to par. I think you've got
to hold onto it. John Deere is
one of my favorite stocks.
Remember that show I did about
CAT and Deere? I meant it. I
want you to hold onto Deere. I
don't want your son to take
profits. I want you to ride it
still higher.
Price target for Deere:
$100.00
|
|
 |
CRUS |
16.34 |
Cirrus Logic Inc. (CRUS)
Jim:
You know, I've got to tell you,
it does feel like a half nelson
everytime I feel it myself.
Here's the problem... There are
a lot of people who feel that
Cirrus is not going to be
included in the next generation
of the Apple iPhone. I have no
information if that is the case,
but it has kept a lid on the
stock. Plus, if you remember, we
had Fitzpatrick on... who said,
if Cirrus breaks $17, it's not
going to do well. And it broke
$17. Technicians hate it. People
are worried about Apple. Me? I
think Cirrus is a buy. Is my
neck out there? Yes. Have we
ever seen it cut off? Well, how
about the Tesla?... They chopped
it off. For Rubicon, my head was
chopped off. So it could happen
again.

EBR |
15.37 |
Centrais Electricas
Brasileiras S.A. (EBR)
Jim:
Silver, we're just going to do
the
Silver Wheaton Corp.
(SLW)
or just do the
iShares Silver ETF (SLV),
which is the ETF. And I do like
Brazil, but not yours. I like
CPFL Energia S.A. (CPL).
It's got a better yield. Let's
just stick with quality.

MOTR |

Motricity, Inc. (MOTR)
Jim:
I don't know Motricity. I don't
it. I've got to do
work
on Motricity. I just don't know
it. We will come back on
Motricity.
|
|
 |
AGU |
86.33 |
Agrium (AGU)
Jim:
I have to tell you... rather
than just endorse Agrium, which
I like... I think
CF Industries Holdings, Inc.
(CF)...
yes, that's right... at $116.
That one could go to $140.
That's my favorite. You can
judge from Agrium about how high
I think CF can go. And, if BHP
were to walk away from Potash...
that stock would go to $180.
|

CF |
116.81 |

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. |

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. |
