Dean Foods Co. (DF)
Jim: Okay, Dean Foods
has kind of just been stagnating after
they did that equity offering…. you know
I like the equity offering… okay, here
is the deal… right now every company
that does not have pizzazz… that is not
a Trans Ocean Drilling, that is not a
Norfolk Southern, that is not a
Freeport… is just kind of sitting there…
I have got to tell you… I think that
that is okay… I think that Dean Foods…
all of your horses are going to go win
the championship at once… this stock is
a great balance to your portfolio if you
have got nothing but high flyers… oils,
minerals and the companies that are
machinery companies like
Bucyrus
(BUCY)
and
Joy Global (JOYG)…
hey by the way, Bucyrus and Joy… are you
not glad that I beat those into your
head… look at those things.

ICE |
110.03 |
InterContinental Exchange,
Inc. (ICE)
Jim: That thing is
ramping.. why is that… because they have
very foreign management… by the way, all
of the exchanges are ramping… remember I
told you that
NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX)
in the low $20’s was a serious buy… I
reiterate CME… and I reiterate ICE… yes,
the threesome… because they are just
about to have an explosion… particularly
because of the credit default swap
market that is going into the ICE
system.

Cadence Design Systems Inc.
(CDNS)
Jim: I think Cadence
is one of my special plays… I tell you,
this is one of my speculative plays…
look at how
Brocade (BRCD)
has done… look at how
Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
(AMD)
has done… look at
Starent Networks, Corp. (STAR),
which is another winner… Cadence has not
moved… how about
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)
moving… how about the
Skyworks Solutions Inc. (SWKS)
moving… all of mine are moving except
for Cadence… which means… buy, buy, buy…
because that one is next.
|
|
 |
MTW |
7.07 |
Manitowoc Co. Inc. (MTW)
Jim: Ouch, too hard
for me… oh man, that balance sheet is so
bad… every dog has its day, including by
the way
Terex Corp. (TEX)…
here is my problem… I have got companies
like
Bucyrus
(BUCY),
oh man $30... I got companies like
Joy Global (JOYG)
at $36... and they are both better than
yours… even though they are not $7... I
am going to send you to the good ones
not the bad ones… yours I regard as
dangerous.

Research
In Motion (RIMM)
Jim: What a vicious
competitor and rival the summit… but I
have got to tell you something, I have
to agree with Chatham for once on this…
I like Research In Motion… we had Top
Gun Trader, Rick Bensignor, arguing that
some should be schnitzeled… not moi… I
reiterate Research In Motion,
Amazon.com (AMZN),
Google (GOOG),
and
Apple (AAPL)
are going much, much higher… the Four

Full Company Name & Jim's
Comments: |
|
 |
XOM |
72.92 |
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Jim: You know I saw
Exxon Mobile today and I said holy cow…
that stock does not move, does not move
when all of the oils move… and it moves
when they don’t… and sure enough up a
buck today… now let me just tell you, of
the oils, it is not one of my favorites…
I like the stability of it, but I think
that
Chevron Corp. (CVX*)
with that yield, and with improving
fundamentals is good…
BP plc (BP*)
below $48 is good too, I own both of
those for
my charitable trust,
ActionAlertsPlus.com…
they are both preferable to Exxon… what
can I tell you, I just think that Exxon
is just… does not have the yield that I
want and is over owned by people.

CVX* |

Chevron Corp. (CVX*)

BP plc (BP*)

Price target to buy BP*:
"Below $48.00 is good."

MO |
17.12 |
Altria (MO)
Jim: It kills me that
I sold it (for
his trust)… I feel
that Altria is Phillip Morris… here is
the problem with Altria, why I decided
to sell it… I decided to sell it because
I could not take the headline risk
anymore… I was able to deal with it
under the Republicans, I knew there
would be no problem… under the
Democrats, it seemed like their would be
no problem… but when I go to my
newsstand and I talk to my friend Sid,
all he tells me is that when it got to
$8.50, the customers finally quit… I
think that that is going to catch up
with Altria… but the dividend is fine… I
think that it is just not going to go
anywhere… it is kind of like owning a
bond with a little more risk.
|
|
 |
BCS |
18.31 |
Barclays plc (BCS)
Jim: Well, they did
that big deal and the stock held up
well… now I like the European preferreds
more than I like the common… and I also
believe that there is going to be a
decided move to favor American brokers
over foreign brokers during this period
of what seems like a self protection
kind of thing… I pose back to you, why
not be in
JPMorgan (JPM*)…
just did a secondary, nobody liked it…
they overpriced it, they should have
priced it at $34... Jamie Diamond
screwed up… but I like that stock more
than I like Barclays.
|
|

JPM* |
34.50 |
JPMorgan (JPM*)
See BCS comments above for:
JPM*
*Note: J.P. Morgan is a key
holding in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust

|
|
 |
NWL |
11.74 |
Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (NWL)
Jim: You know I
struggle with Rubbermaid because it
seems too cheap, because obviously it
has got great brands… Rubbermaid for
those who do not know it also has
Calphelon, they did this Newell
Rubbermaid… I remember when the
Rubbermaid was a once great growth stock
in the ’80’s, and they made a serious
acquisition, it was really good and they
combined with Newell… and that was
really the end of the upside… I have to
tell you that I think that management is
finally getting it together… but I do
prefer
Tupperware Brands Corporation
(TUP),
to stick with that category, than
Rubbermaid… I was tough on Rick Goings,
maybe too tough, the CEO of Tupperware
because he really delivered a good
quarter… this was the first good
Rubbermaid quarter, and they had just
refinanced.. but I think there is
limited upside unless they put
themselves up for sale… and that is not
enough reason for me to recommend a
stock.
|
|
 |
TUP |
26.58 |
Tupperware Brands Corporation
(TUP)
See NWL comments above for:
TUP
|
|
 |
WSM |
14.70 |
Williams-Sonoma Inc. (WSM)
Jim: All retail is
moving up, so that is a rising tide
lifting all boats… I do not think that
that company is all that well managed… I
would prefer, in that field, a host of
other retailers that I like… I have just
been doing a lot of mall work, and there
is a lot of them that is going up… now
that said, if you want a play on
housing, and getting housing better, and
the internals of housing… you should go
with the one that I have been buying
which is
Home Depot (HD*)…
it has got a good yield, it is a great
play on California turning, which you
know I believe is happening… and I think
that it also has much more upside.
|
|
 |
HD* |
24.50 |
Home Depot (HD*)

STP |
16.20 |
Suntech Power (STP)
Jim: Okay, now I have
to tell you... I am not a believer in
owning these individual Chinese solar
stocks. The one solar stock that has
been... being that there has been some
sort of investigation out west that's
really hurting the stock... that I do
like is
First Solar (FSLR).
Why? The fact that they do not need
government subsidies. Yes indeed, it's a
$180 stock so people don't want to own
it. I say buy 2 shares... buy 3
shares... My first buy of a stock was
that I bought nine shares of
something... nine shares of a $9 stock.
I didn't have more money than that. So
let's be creative. Let's pull the
trigger on that one. Buy, buy, buy!

V* |
68.23 |
Visa Inc. (V*)
Jim: Yes I do (think
it's still a good buy, agreeing with
what the caller said)... I know that
Barron's Online had a positive article
about it. I've been buying it for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust. It
has a move but, remember, it is really a
play on paper to plastic, it's a play on
debit card... Those are long-term
trends... buy, buy, buy!... It is not a
play on credit. It is a credit card, but
it is not a play on credit. It's a play
on the way that we process money.
*Note:
Visa
is a key
holding in
Jim Cramer's

|
 |
MON |
81.50 |
Monsanto (MON)
Jim: I was
disappointed in the action of Monsanto
after it reported that quarter, when it
went down more than three points. The
quarter was not that good. There is a
lot of action in soybeans. Soybeans are
just skyrocketing here. That usually is
associated with more Monsanto. But I've
got to tell you... I'm taking a pass...
Don't buy, don't buy. This company has
repeatedly beat the estimates and this
time it didn't. There's a lot of hot
money in the stock. I'm afraid it's
going to have to come out. I do not want
you to buy Monsanto.
|
|
 |
CCJ |
26.90 |
Cameco Corp. (CCJ)
Jim: No. We're not
going to go there. It's nuclear. It's
associated with nuclear power. It's
uranium. I was on the wonderful and
fabulous Joe Scarborough show today, and
I've got to tell you something... Lamar
Alexander was on... He's a senator... He
was talking about building a lot of
nuclear power plants. I said, give me a
break... I have a prediction right here,
right now... Other than additional
nuclear power producer, built adjacent
to a nuclear power plant, there will not
be a new one built in this country in
the next 10 years...
|
|
 |
TLAB |
5.70 |
Tellabs Inc. (TLAB)
Jim: You know I like
Tellabs... you know I think it's got a
$4 book (value), and that is a serious
book. It has a lot of cash on hand. It
is waiting for the cycle. I do believe
that Tellabs... It's funny that you
mention it, because it was going to be
the next one I highlighted in my
series... as soon as I have the next one
I ring the register for... I want to go
back to Tellabs... I think that Tellabs
is a solid stock. I was not at the UBS
presentation, but I think you heard it
better than I did, and you're dead
right.
|
|
 |
TEN |
6.62 |
Tenneco Inc. (TEN)
Jim: I normally would
have loved Tenneco, I was a big fan of
the company. I remember when it was
TGT... I remember when it had a variety
of different businesses. It's kind of
delivered... but the part that you own
is auto parts (bear sound)... and I'm
not going to get behind an auto parts
company... Not an auto parts company...
not in this kind of environment. It's
just too hard. I'm sorry. I am... sell,
sell, sell!
|
|
 |
SGR |
28.43 |
Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)
Jim: Yeah, I know. We
liked Shaw and it's dirt cheap, but it
seems to always stay dirt cheap. It had
a miraculous run, and then it went up
too much because of hedge funds gone
wild, and then sold down too much
because of hedge funds gone wild with
redemptions. I still recommend KBR...
which was a company that I recommended
at $14 and $13... and then repeated that
and then it went to $18. It was down a
buck today. I think that's a better buy.
I would rather see you in KBR... buy,
buy, buy... a good balance sheet, just
like Shaw, but a better book of
business.

COP* |
45.97 |
ConocoPhillips (COP*)
Jim: I mulled that
over today with my friend, Stephanie
Link, who is my research director and
cohort, colleague on
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust,
where I send out emails before I buy,
and my judgment was not here, not now...
Let's wait for another 2-3 point
pullback, or just say that we missed it,
because this stock has been a red-hot
play... and natural gas has pulled back.
My friend, Matt Doman said that he
thinks natural gas, the United States
Natural Gas (UNG),
is about to have another leg down...
I say we hold off on Conoco... don't
buy, don't buy... but it remains one of
the cheapest, and it is still down
almost 50% from its high last year.
|
|
 |
NVDA |
10.89 |
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
Jim: No, I don't have
good news for you there... Here's
the deal... I think that the problem
with that stock is that Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
(AMD)
is coming on strong. AMD, even
under $5, I still want to buy more than
NVDA. Remember, we don't care
where a stock has been, we care where
it's going to. Sell, sell,
sell!...

YUM* |
34.74 |
Yum! Brands (YUM*)
(flirting call from Susanne in
California, this call took up a lot of
time...)
Jim: YUM I own for
my charitable trust,
ActionAlertsPlus.com...
This is Kentucky Fried Chicken... It's
Taco Bell... It's also Pizza Hut.
It's really a very good play on China.
It is hot, hot, hot... The stock's
been stuck at $35. Our friend,
Rick Bensignor... said be careful of the
stock. The stock did then tick
down. It came right back. I
think this is a great level.
|
|
 |
RMD |
37.83 |
ResMed Inc. (RMD)
Jim: It just
announced a repurchase plan which is
good news... but the problem is,
this again is in that healthcare cohort.
Nobody wants that. I
think you've got to stick with it.
This stock's too cheap to give away.
Management thinks the same. I
think you just have to hold it through
this period where healthcare stocks are
soggy.

WFC* |
24.72 |
Wells Fargo (WFC*)
Jim: Oh... Wells
Fargo. Okay, Wells Fargo, I own it for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust. Now,
why is it not ramping? Because people
believe that it is only a matter of time
before they have to another deal in
order to pay back TARP. Do I know if
that's the case or not? All I care about
is that it's a complete lid on the
stock. I wish that (Treasury Secretary)
Geithner would put out some regulations
so we'd know if they have to do it
again. But, until then, Wells is just
going to mark time! (i.e., stay flat at
about the same price)
|
|
 |
ACH |
26.35 |
Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd.
(ACH)
Jim: You know
what?... I've been looking at this
because there was a couple of series...
A guy named Howard Simons who writes for
RealMoney.com...
where I'm chairman... He was talking
about how the metals exchange was
showing that there's a dramatic increase
in demand for aluminum... but that
Alcoa, Inc. (AA)
is barely related. I think ACH is very
related. I like your pick. I want to be
a buyer! And that's very rare that I
recommend Chinese stocks.
|
|
 |
CHK |
23.28 |
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK)
Jim: May I say that I
had three nominations this week for
Aubrey McClennan (CEO) to be on
the Wall of Shame,
because of how much he paid himself,
despite the disastrous results and the
fact that he's just lining his pockets.
I point that out. There are still
nominations for
the Wall...
I have no friends... I say that at the
beginning of the show every night. I
wanted to pass this on, because people
were angry that I didn't mention him,
and it's not my favorite natural gas
stock, although it does have the best
chart. I like
Anadarko Petroleum
(APC)
and I like some others.. Go see
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust.

Jim: Well I see they
got a new chairman and CEO. I like that.
However, I prefer
Travelers (TRV)
to them... sell, sell, sell! Look,
Hartford screwed up! I am not going to
recommend a company that screwed up this

Jim: No! Pfizer...
I'm not a buyer. I prefer LLY or, let me
tell you something, I actually prefer
every drug company other than Pfizer. I
think that's the weakest one in the
group, and I don't want to touch it.

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. |

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. |
