Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

NAT

32.61

Nordic American Tanker (NAT)

Jim:   I was communicating with Herbjorn (CEO) over the weekend… I continue to think that this is my favorite way to play the oil tanker market… I am not deviating… there are a lot of other players in the business that are not as good… I think that you are in good shape there.

ARST

17.88

ArcSight, Inc. (ARST)

Jim:   You know it is computer software security, and I am going to tell you that when computer software security comes on the show… I pull the trigger, I think that that is a good one… I think that that whole business en fuego.

COGO

6.88

Cogo Group, Inc. (COGO)

Jim:   Yeah, I know… I got to tell you something… I think that I would much rather be in ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT) as a way to play China… it is more local… ADCT…. that is the one that I would pull the trigger on.

ADCT

7.84

ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT)

See COGO comments above for:
ADCT

ED

35.81

Consolidated Edison Inc. (ED)

Jim:   I like it, I like the 6% yield… it is not nothing too exciting… but you know that we had Mr. Burk on, we feel good about the situation… they got no cap-n-trade problem… they got no beef with Obama… that might be good enough at this point.

AVAV

27.75

AeroVironment, Inc. (AVAV)

Jim:   We took profits in that, and then we did not like the quarter… not my favorite defense stocks… I do have a lot of defense stocks that I do like… I am again going to tell you that my favorite is Boeing (BA)… people do not think of it as defense… they should… Boeing at $52 is still a buy… at one point today, we had a $51... and I was pushing it on the wonderful and fabulous Erin Burnett show today.


BA

52.83

Boeing (BA)

See AVAV comments above for:
BA

OTTR

20.16

Otter Tail Corp. (OTTR)

Jim:   Yeah, this is a great wind play… it is a great play on energy… it has got a good yield, I am surprised that it has gone all the way down… I should have been recommending it all the time… but my viewers, as always, know a lot more than I do… I salute that pick… it is a great idea… pull the trigger.


ELY

7.28

Callaway Golf Co. (ELY)

Jim:   All I can tell you is that to me it is a flat liner from way back… I see no catalysts to buy it… I am not going to pull the trigger… nor am I going to pull the trigger on Fortune Brands (FO) right now, which has Foot Joy… I am not a big believer in the growth of golf.

FO

36.70

Fortune Brands (FO)

See ELY comments above for:
FO


TSYS

6.96

TeleCommunication Systems Inc. (TSYS)

Jim:   Uh, telecommunications systems… I am not a believer… I think that you ought to just cut you losses in that one.. there is nothing there that is exciting me.

LUV

6.82

Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV)

Jim:   I will never, ever, ever, as long as I have this show, Mad Money, recommend an airline stock in America… that is not going to happen… and this is one more instance where I say sell, sell, sell… I like a lot of stocks, but you will not catch me napping and recommend an airline stock.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

CPL

48.87

CPFL Energia S.A. (CPL)

Jim:   I think that it is a steal… listen to me… Brazil is up, it is one of the hottest markets in the world, it is up about 60%… I think that that stock CPL should be bought and bought right here… I think that you have got a winner… I would actually double down.

O

22.62

Realty Income Corp. (O)

Jim:   I have got to tell you, that one is too risky for me… if you want to be… I like Federal (FRT), but I also recommend this Boston Properties Inc. (BXP), that is one we talked about yesterday, it is up nicely, I would buy it right here at $50... and by the way, I need to tell you, I need to have all of the ones that have refinanced… those are the ones that I like best… only the ones that have refinanced.


BXP

50.88

Boston Properties Inc. (BXP)

See O comments above for:
BXP

Price target to buy: 
Jim:   "I would buy it right here at $50.00"

MRVL

12.84

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (MRVL)

Jim:   Now, I have to tell you Marvell…. it is good, you know that it is good… and the reason that I say that is because Marvell is part of that secret sauce group that I have been using… which includes ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT), and Broadcom Corp. (BRCM), and ON Semiconductor Corp. (ONNN)... do not forget that I like the Tellabs Inc. (TLAB)… I also like, I love ActionAlertsPlus.com, charitable trust (name), QualComm Inc. (QCOM*)… which may be the highest quality of all because it has got visibility out to 2012... because of its 3G and 4G, which is why it is the largest position that I gave in the round up this weekend for ActionAlertsPlus.com where I send out the newsletter...

ADCT

8.39

ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT)

See MRVL comments above for:
ADCT

SPWRA

30.55

SunPower (SPWRA)

Jim:   Alright, listen if we were out having a couple of slices, here is what I would tell you… you have got to go with the First Solar (FSLR)... just buy two shares… I think that you would feel much better… but I do not favor the group… I think that First Solar has been hit by some bad publicity that I am not worried about… it has got real chips that make real money… and it is not like real genius, which is the other solar place.


FSLR

182.88

First Solar (FSLR)

See SPWRA comments above for:
FSLR

MTL

10.23

Mechel Open Joint Stock Co. (MTL)

Jim:   I am not investing in Russia, my partner, and buddy, and good friend, Ron Insana, wrote a piece yesterday for RealMoney.com...  where he talked about Maria’s excellent interview when she was in Russia… and he said that he would never own anything Russian, and I am never going to go against Ron Insana in that kind of country, he has Insana Insights… so I am staying away from Russia and I think that you should do...  Sell, sell, sell!...


HWD

6.47

Harry Winston Diamond Corp. (HWD)

Jim:   I will not recommend diamond stocks or jewelry stocks… they are a very challenged group… they have always cost me a lot of money… I was out with some investors last night at Yankee Stadium… we were talking about how if there was one group that we would want to avoid like the plague… sell, sell, sell!... it's the jewelry plays.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

TUP

26.68

Tupperware Brands Corporation (TUP)

Jim:   Well, I've got to tell you something... I owe Rick Goings (CEO) an apology... I thought that he did not have a good quarter. He said that he was going to come back and have one... I showed very little faith. He did. He's done a good job, and I'm apologizing, because I had decided that he was no longer delivering, and I was wrong. Rick Goings... I say, keep on getting your paper, keep on climbing, look in the mirror, and keep on shining!

FMER

16.79

FirstMerit Corp. (FMER)

Jim:   No, no, no... Come on... It's trading in a tight range. This is one that I eventually think that Sheila Bair (FDIC Chairwoman), when she stops trying to irritate the board at Citigroup, will end up helping... because this is the most solid bank in Ohio... I want you to stick with it... buy, buy, buy... and I want you to buy more. I want you to buy more... I want you to keep your mind on your money...

MYGN

36.81

Myriad Genetics Inc. (MYGN)

Jim:   Alright, I have been a little too negative on all the biotechs so far. That's an interesting spec with some interesting buying... buy, buy, buy... and I've got to tell you, I think there's money to be made in Myriad... maybe even myriad dollars to be made in Myriad...

WR

17.75

Westar Energy Inc. (WR)

Jim:   WR?... I've got to tell you... I'm sticking with the horse that brung me... I'm going with Dominion (D)... I think that's my favorite. Don't forget the EXC... I think that one still works. I like Exelon Corp. (EXC) on this deal that it might be doing with NRG... David Crane, always welcome on the show...

D

32.24

Dominion Resources Inc. (D)

See WR comments above for:
D

EXC

50.33

Exelon Corp. (EXC)

See WR comments above for:
EXC


ERTS

21.96

Electronic Arts (ERTS)

Jim:   Oh man... You know what?... Look... it's down so much, I cannot go against ERTS. Really. I'm not kidding. It's down so much that I'm going to pull the trigger and say, you know what?... Buy, buy, buy!... I like ERTS... I like ERTS... You know what I feel like?

GLBL

7.19

Global Industries Ltd. (GLBL)

Jim:   I'm doing some work on Global, because this is oil, sub-sea... It's got construction. I've also, by the way... let's play with an open hand... I'm looking at Energy Services and Weatherford International Ltd. (WFT)... I have to tell you... I like this group, always going higher, but you know who I go to by default... to Schlumberger (SLB)... and Transocean Inc. (RIG).


WFT

22.45

Weatherford International Ltd. (WFT)

See GLBL comments above for:
WFT

SLB

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

HAYN

26.50

Haynes International Inc. (HAYN)

Jim:   You know I recommended Haynes… we had a very quick big run… it was off my friends at CRT Capital, which they are really excellent… we had a great run, that came back.. this is an aerospace play and a chemical play… I have to tell you that I think that we are going to have to see Boeing (BA) rally before this one goes up… I think that Boeing will… this stock is a very cheap stock… but remember, it is only a $319M market cap… you have to be very careful.

YHOO

16.19

Yahoo! (YHOO)

Jim:   I always like to know more about this when a CFO, we get a new CFO.. you are absolutely right… I do not know this CFO… I do know very strongly that Carol Bartz the CEO of Yahoo has been doing a housecleaning, doing everything right… I remain a buyer of Yahoo… and let me give you a two-fer, we had some really good comments today by Donahue the CEO of eBay Inc. (EBAY), saying that he sees a turn there… so we are going to buy some Yahoo… and we are going to buy some eBay.

EBAY

17.88

eBay Inc. (EBAY)

See YHOO comments above for:
EBAY

NEM

44.11

Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM)

Jim:   First, we know that Freeport (FCX*) is copper, mostly copper and a little bit of gold… when you are buying Newmont you are buying all gold… I do not like the fining costs in Newmont, it is not my favorite… I like Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) first, I like Eldorado Gold Corp. (EGO) second… but do not forget, the
SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) is also a good way to play… Agnico Eagle has been stronger… I do, by the way, congratulate on that Freeport purchase… you are up nice… now lets not be too greedy… lets remember, bulls make money, bears make money, but hogs get slaughtered.

AEM

56.65

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

See NEM comments above for:
AEM

EGO

9.15

Eldorado Gold Corp. (EGO)

See NEM comments above for:
EGO


GLD

93.70

SPDR Gold ETF (GLD)

See NEM comments above for:
GLD

F

5.98

Ford (F)

Jim:   I happen to think the world of Al Mulally, I think he is doing an unbelievable job.. he is going up against two governments spots and enterprises in Chrysler and General Motors (GM), that is daunting… I would prefer to buy the preferreds of Ford… but I tell you what, I think that it is a speculation… Ford is a good one on the pullback… remember they did a gigantic equity offering at $4.34, so maybe we need it to come in a little bit more before we buy more.


AMT

30.23

American Tower Corp. (AMT)

Jim:   I like that, but I have got to tell you something… that is levered to the Unites States and the gigantic $40B Chinese infrastructure is what we are playing… the Chinese infrastructure, wireless, mobile, internet… of which by the way QualComm Inc. (QCOM*), of which I own for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust, preannounce a better than expected quarter.. the bears held it down all day… it was like they were holding it under water… it was really scary… it was like they were water boarding the darn thing… I think that Qualcomm goes higher… that is a better play than American Tower.

QCOM*

45.98

QualComm Inc. (QCOM*)

See AMT comments above for:
QCOM*

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

UYG

4.28

Ultra Financials ProShares (UYG)

Jim:   I think it's a hoax!  I don't want you near that thing!  Sell, sell, sell!... I think this is the type of thing that should never have been approved by the commission!... by the Securities and Exchange Commission... Don't you dare touch that, or any other ProUltras!...  I have seen unbelievable work done by Eric Oldberg, who was the 17-year managing director at Goldman Sachs, at TheStreet.com where I'm chairman...  that shows you, without a doubt, that stuff shouldn't be allowed.

RVBD

23.04

Riverbed Technology, Inc. (RVBD)

Jim:   It's wide area networks...  I recommended it, then took it off after it had a big move.  That stock is really making a comeback as part of
the Nasdaq move.  I think you get another 5-6 points there.  So I do not want you to sell it right now.  I wouldn't want you to buy it... don't buy, don't buy... it's at a 52-week high. But I think you've got a good one there.

FLR

53.85

Fluor Corporation (FLR)

Jim:   I don't really care for the infrastructure play... sell, sell, sell...  and I think they're going to start missing their quarters.  We need to see oil at $100 to keep in front of that.  Now, that said, Fluor is the best one.  So, if you want to own one, you can own Fluor.

TXT

11.48

Textron Inc. (TXT)

Jim:   No.  We're going to have to see that guy who's the CEO take a permanent vacation to go over this... a permanent intellectual vacation... and, not until then, will we pull the trigger on this stock.

EQIX

71.60

Equinix Inc. (EQIX)

Jim:   I actually think that they're not proprietary, and I don't want you to own it... sell, sell, sell!  So I want you to stay away from that company.

SAY

3.67

Satyam Computer Services (SAY)

Jim:   I can't believe this company actually reported a decent number.  This is the one that's been victimized by fraud.  And, you know what?  It was so good that, as a speculative play, I'll buy some... buy, buy, buy!...   I'm not kidding...  "SAY"y yes!


 

UNP*

54.36

Union Pacific Corp. (UNP*)

Jim:   Union Pacific is the rail that I own for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust...  I like all the rails.  I think UNP* is going to have an explosive quarter... buy, buy, buy!...  I give it a triple-buy!
 

*Note:  Union Pacific is a key holding in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust Portfolio, which you can see here>

OSK

15.00

Oshkosh Truck Corp. (OSK)

Jim:   What, you're addicted to losers?...  Break out of that mold...  Osh Kosh has had a big run, but I don't think there's anything there... sell, sell, sell...  and Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG)... no!...  Sell, sell, sell!...  When we get a downturn, both of those are going to go down.   Those are the stocks that did not make Milwaukee famous.  I want you in something safer with a good dividend.


HOG

16.68

Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG)

See OSK comments above for:
HOG

MPEL

4.95

Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL)

Jim:   No... no...  I'm going to give you a two-fer...  I don't like that one, and I also don't like Las Vegas Sands (LVS)...  where my sources indicate that the Las Vegas Sands in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is not doing well.  So let's make some changes and head out.


LVS

9.10

Las Vegas Sands (LVS)

See MPEL comments above for:
LVS

TTEK

28.50

Tetra Tech (TTEK)

Jim:   You know, Tetra Tech is good infrastructure.  This is one that we've liked.  It has been ramping.  Look, this is like a... people think this is like an Obama second-half play, and I am going with them.   I agree... buy, buy, buy!  I want to own the stock.


PCX

9.86

Patriot Coal (PCX)

Jim:   No man, you've got to...  Look, if you want to own coal, you've got to own Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU)...  Now, I understand that people are attracted to coal, with oil at $72... I don't blame you.  But let's be in the right coal company.  I don't trust Patriot, which is a spinoff, but I like BTU.

BTU

35.66

Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU)

See PCX comments above for:
BTU

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

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.
