WIN |
11.11 |
Windstream Corporation (WIN)
Jim: You did
well, you bought it before the
must-own date… Let me be real
clear about this, there have
been people who have dumped on
this stock… there have been non
believers, there have been
people who have told me, Jim,
that dividend is not safe… and
then again, there is a man, it
is a man by the name of… what
the heck is the guys name,
alright I will come back with
his name… but he has been on the
show a couple of times… and he,
that is great, I sound like a
total joker… but he has been on
the show and he has been
remarkable… and I am sticking
with WIN up here at $11... I
think it was Skip.

|
 |
C |
3.40 |
Citigroup (C)
Jim: No, Citi
is a speculative situation that
we like very much, but
Akamai Technologies Inc.
(AKAM)
is a high quality play on the
internet tsunami… I do not
want you to make that trade… you
are going to leave too much
money on the table.

AKAM |
25.92 |
Akamai Technologies Inc.
(AKAM)
See C comments above for:
AKAM

AAPL |
214.01 |
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Jim: Apple, I
bought some today for
my charitable trust,
I couldn’t take it any more…
because finally, I talked about
it every night, I was finally
free, if I mention a stock in
the last five days I cannot buy
it… I mentioned that stock
almost every day in 2009, Apple
my $300 price target stands… and
it might be going even higher, I
do not know, I have got to see
this device… it doesn’t matter…
Apple is at the heart of the
internet tsunami, and I am glad
my charitable trust
will finally get a chance to own
it.

Comments: |
|
 |
MSFT |
30.96 |
Microsoft (MSFT)
Jim: We want
to buy Microsoft, they are
having a smoking good quarter,
we have got that Windows 7 and
it is much better than people
think… Balmer has got it in
stride… Microsoft feels like a
$35 stock… I mean I say pull the
trigger… it would be a gift… it
would be a gift if that stock
were to come down from here.
|
|
 |
LOW |
22.92 |
Lowe's (LOW)
Jim: I am not
going to disagree with that
judgment of yours… I do believe
that I like
Home Depot (HD*)
more, which is why I own it for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust, and
Home Depot has been
en fuego and I get my 3%
yield… I think Lowe’s going to
be fine… LOW is a good choice.
|
|
 |
HD* |
28.88 |
Home Depot (HD*)
See LOW comments above for:
HD*
|

PEP* |
61.98 |
Pepsico, Inc. (PEP*)
Jim: Alright
here is the deal... Indra Nooyi,
she is the CEO of Pepsi, she is
going to have a dynamite year…
Why?... Because of the
integration of the Dr. Pepper
and those two bottling companies
is going to be brilliant… and
the bar is low… it happens to be
my largest position for
my charitable trust…
Pepsi is going higher, I
believe….. I think the stock is
8 to 9 points below where it
should be vs.
Coke (KO)…
I would not only buy Pepsi… I
would buy it aggressively… and
Frito-Lay is a great, great
company within the Pepsi… let me
just say one more thing, I was
shocked when Pepsico made that
announcement about Dr. Pepper,
which was so brilliant, that
people sold the stock… could
people be that wrong? Yes.

DOW |
30.48 |
Dow Chemical Co. (DOW)
Jim: I have
to hand it to Dow… you know they
overpaid for Rohm and Haus, I
think they would all admit it…
but every since then they have
taken dramatic action, including
doing a secondary… just the kind
of secondary that I suggest that
you have got to participate in
in
Getting
Back To Even…
Dow Chemical has done everything
right… the chemicals are on
fire… my friend, Frank Mitch at
BB&T, told me that the chemicals
are good.
|
|
 |
ATVI |
11.32 |
Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI)
Jim: No, no,
no, I am giving you
Electronic Arts (ERTS)…
you come into me with Activision
Blizzard and I say ex-nay… I say
ERTS, because of social media
gaming… I get this stuff because
I am a very cool 63 year old.

ERTS |

Electronic Arts (ERTS)
See ATVI comments above for:
ERTS

JEF |
25.06 |
Jefferies Group Inc. (JEF)
Jim: Jeffries
is okay, I do not like … look
let’s buy
Goldman Sachs (GS*)…
we just had that woman Meredith
Whitney, she went in there doing
all that shopping stuff… the
stock did not go down… that one
has been… I am not doing this
because you are a Cowboy’s fan…
but I do like Goldman Sachs
more, and even if as bereft as I
am and as sad as I am and as
angry as I am, I still want to
make you and all Americans
money.

BNI |
na |
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI)
Jim: It is
terrific… it is terrific to buy
Berkshire Hathaway
on this… I want to ring the
register on Burlington
Northern... You have gotten a
great gain.
|
|
 |
MNKD |
na |
MannKind Corp. (MNKD)
Jim: Too
hyped, too hyped for me… I mean
they are already out telling you
that they are going to get
approval… I mean, let’s just
see… I mean they are talking
about getting approval for drugs
that they do not have approval
yet… now I was willing to handle
that with
Dendreon Corp. (DNDN),
which has now become a winner… I
am not going to handle that with
MannKind, that stock is in the
doghouse until proven otherwise…
not like, by the way, someone
had said earlier in this show
that I was an honest guy… Bob
LaPenta,
L-1 Identity Solutions Inc.
(ID)…
the stock that I identified
yesterday is maybe having its
day is in the doghouse… they
disappointed… so let’s own the
ones that we get wrong… and that
is how you keep your
credibility.

SHLD |
na |
Sears Holdings (SHLD)
Jim: I think
Eddie… look, this is a time just
like… it is Eddie Lampert (CEO)
that we are talking about, he is
an old friend of mine… I say at
the beginning of the show, it is
not about friends it is about…
but I will disclose that, I know
Eddie, he has been my friend for
24 years… just as retail was
bad, Sears was bad… now that
retail is getting better, Sears
will be good… it is just like
other retailers… do I like the
stock from an investing point of
view? I like
Home Depot (HD*),
that is the one that I own for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust… but
you know what, rising tide
lifting all boats including
Sears Holdings.

Home Depot (HD*)
See SHLD comments above for:
HD*

 |
RPM |
na |
RPM International Inc. (RPM)
Jim: I think
that was ridiculous, RPM is
really good… RPM is a good brand
name company… it has got a 4%
yield… it is really terrific… I
would pull the trigger right
here, I think that it is a great
stock to own… a nice mid-west
company.
|
|
 |
XOM |
na |
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Jim: Exxon
Mobile, it is fine… I mean look,
I prefer other oils… I prefer
BP plc (BP*)
because of the yield… I prefer
Occidental if you want to have
exposure to the… (interrupted by
buzzer and lost train of
thought) Exxon I do not care for
it that much.
|

BP* |

BP plc (BP*)

OXY |

 |
CPRT |
na |
Copart Inc. (CPRT)
Jim: The
auction car business is okay, it
is not a great business… the
stock has had a very big run, I
would take some profits here.
|
|
 |
JDSU |
na |
JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU)
Jim: JDSU used
to stand for "Just Don’t Sell
Us," then it became "Just Don’t
Sue Us"… that is a pastiche if
not a mosaic of a lot of
different technology companies…
including testing, including
some currency… hey, let’s put it
this way… let’s call it a
testing company… let’s say that
this used to be one of the big,
big gainers in the late ’90’s…
it is back, it is bigger than
ever… JDSU is still terrific
even at $9... I would buy, buy,
buy it… hey get this, I welcome
management on this show… I used
to dislike management, but they
have got new management and I
like them.

SuccessFactors, Inc. (SFSF)
Jim: Oh man,
over the internet and thru the
woods… you should be listening
to Salesforce.com, Marc Benioff,
I want you to buy CRM… Customer
Relations Management…
SuccessFactors is a very good
company, I absolutely think that
you have got a good one… but you
know what?... We… it is time
that we took it the SEC… you buy
some CRM.

Jim: You know
I have been disappointed in the
stock's action, but not the
actual business, which is pretty
good… but I do like
Skyworks Solutions Inc. (SWKS)
more, just so we know… the RF
Micro guys are good, but if you
own a component play, I would
rather have you in with David
Aldrich and Skyworks.

Siemens AG (SI)
Jim: Yes, she
should… Siemens is a very, very
good company… and you know what?
I am surprised that it has fell
as much as it did… I happen that
one very much.. it is a
conglomerate and I think Germany
is coming back… and I think that
she is right, and as a matter of
fact, I would pull the trigger
and buy a little more.

BAC* |

Bank of America (BAC*)
Jim: Bank of
America is going higher, I own
it for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust… I
think that Moynihan is going to
do a good job, he has got to get
his feet wet… the stock is
finally breaking out… and may I
once again say, even though I
was misquoted by every single
media group in the country, that
that Citigroup secondary was the
buy of this year…
Citigroup (C)
is going higher… Bank of America
is going higher… and
Wells Fargo (WFC)
is going higher.

the decline in Iraq work… I
understand that, to me it is a
good story, it is not the best
story… but you know what? You
bought it at $13... let’s ring

FITB |
11.09 |
Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB)
Jim: Fifth
Third Bank is a winner… I saw it
tick off $11 today, and I
remember when Goldman Sachs came
out at $10 and said buy this
one… Fifth Third, really good
piece out the other day from one
of the major firms, it was
Morgan Stanley, talking about
what banks could you do well…
commercial real estate does
well… this one, $15... I really
like it here.

DNDN |

Dendreon Corp. (DNDN)
Jim: Okay,
okay… I think… this is one of
those companies, a binary
company… if they get… look, if
they have the ultimate vaccine
for cancer, you know this thing
is going much higher… in the
interim, I think that you stay
with it, let’s see… because this
thing could go up 10 points on
good news… so I think you are
okay… I know that you battled
back to even, let’s just stay
long with it right now.

CBY |
49.85 |
Cadbury Schweppes plc (CBY)
Jim: I want
you to ring the register…
Warren Buffett
has spoken… he does not want
Irene Rosenfeld from
Kraft (KFT)
to pay more than she is paying
right now… so, the upside is now
limited… I do not believe that
Hershey will come in and wreck
its own stock to buy Cadbury… I
want you to sell, sell, sell..
ring the register.

Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Jim: Well,
you have got a 52 week high… it
is a Colideus Drug Company does
not really have as big a product
portfolio as I would like… I
think… sell, sell, sell… you got
a big gain, let’s take it… come
on smart fellow Pennsylvanian…
let’s make some money, no one

Western Digital (WDC)
Jim: I was
amazed today that Goldman Sachs
downgraded
Seagate (STX),
it had what I think is going to
be a monster quarter… I talked
the other day about Western
Digital… it is a way, it is
really just a terrific tech
component… I did get a little
frightened, I have to admit,
when Goldman downgraded Seagate…
let’s take a little off of the
table and let the rest run…
because this has been a monster
disc drive move.

BA |

Boeing (BA)
Jim: Well,
you can tell Austin who is
undoubtedly related to Miles
Austin who killed us… that I
believe Boeing is an $80 stock…
we are at the beginning of a
major seven year move in Boeing…
somebody downgraded it today on
price… I say boo! This one is
going higher… I say hold onto
Boeing… it was barely down today
on the downgrade… Boeing is a
great stock to own for the next
few years… great stock… stick
with Boeing.

Jim mentioned it is a stock
that he manages within
his

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. |
