Comments: |
|
 |
PEG |
33.08 |
Public Service Enterprise
Group Inc. (PEG)
Jim:
Incredibly well-run. I wish it
hadn't moved so much, because
the yield is a little bit low,
but I would buy that stock...
buy, buy, buy! I always ask
people when they tell me they're
from Jersey, I ask them what is
their utility? If they tell me
it's Public Service, I say you
know what... get some revenge!
Pull the trigger... go buy the
stock!
|
|
 |
ARUN |
20.53 |
Aruba Networks, Inc. (ARUN)
Jim:
Yeah, this is a very hot stock,
sir. And I've got to tell you,
it is in that spot again...
mobility, internet... You know
what? It has pulled back a
little... I think it's a winner.
I think it's a winner. I think
you've got a winner there. But,
remember, it's a little
speculative. It's been around.
It has had a monster move. But I
do like it.
|
|
 |
AGU |
73.75 |
Agrium (AGU)
Jim:
I think you will get a pullback
tomorrow morning, because Mosaic
did not have a good quarter. And
then I want you to buy. Now let
me give you the order, because I
did nail that Potash... I think
that, better than Agrium, better
than Mosaic, is
CF Industries
(CF).
So maybe that's the one you
should go with, but you already
own the Agrium. In a pullback
tomorrow, pull the trigger.
|
|
 |
CF |
94.11 |
CF Industries Holdings, Inc.
(CF)
See AGU comments above for:
CF
|
|
 |
WCRX |
21.35 |
Warner Chilcott plc (WCRX)
Jim:
I think you've had the catalyst.
I think it's happened. I like
that stock. Everyone knows that
bank debt to the hilt. They paid
you that dividend. I say move
on. Take the money and run. It's
a little Steve Miller action.
I'm done with the stock.

TTM |
26.25 |
Tata Motors Ltd. (TTM)
Jim:
Well, you're making a ton of
money, aren't you sir?... Here's
the thing about Tata Motors...
It is being swept up by the
whole Indian market, which is
just on fire. Do I like Tata
Motors at $26? Not bad. I prefer
Ford at $13. Now let me make
something clear... The whole
way, I've been recommending the
Ford Preferred. I'm done. The
Ford Preferred is back to where
I think it's very close to where
it could be called. The upside
is capped. Now I am telling
you... sell, sell, sell... after
a fantastic run, where we
quadrupled, sell the Ford
Preferred, and start buying the
Ford Common (shares - symbol,
F), as of tonight.

FORD Preferred (F-PS)

Ford (F)

CMG |
178.98 |
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.
(CMG)
Jim:
It has not been a good thing to
buy Chipotle ahead of earnings.
Now, you know what I think of
the company. You know that I
think CMG is one of the
CANDIES... However, when I see a
run like this - whether it be
for Chipotle or Panera - I get
nervous. Do I want you to sell
ahead of the quarter? No. But I
do believe, those who are going
to come in right now... you get
a better entry point very soon.
|
|
 |
EMC* |
20.41 |
EMC (EMC*)
Jim:
Let me take care of it. I'm
going to give you a two-part
answer. I was in that same exact
quandary (i.e., to choose
between EMC and VMW) for
my charitable trust.
We owned VMWare. I finally
couldn't take the nosebleed. I
swapped into EMC which, of
course, is the parent
(company/owner) of VMWare. Then,
the other day, people start
rumoring down EMC, saying the
quarter's light. I take a little
profit... in full fairness, I
sent out a bulletin the other
day... I still like EMC. I think
it's the better of the two
because of the valuation
parameters.
|
|
 |
VMW |
85.22 |
VMware (VMW)
See EMC* comments above for:
VMW
|
|
 |
MEDQ |
11.90 |
MedQuist Inc. (MEDQ)
Jim:
I like it. I like it. I also
like the business. That reminds
me... I also have to circle back
to MDRX now that its deal is
done. I like anything that makes
it so that hospitals and
healthcare comes down in cost,
that makes it cheaper. That's
the way I like to play it.
|
|
 |
IBM |
137.66 |
IBM (IBM)
Jim:
I'm hurting on this one. My
friend... John Roke who stood
right here the other day... he's
that technician friend of
mine... said that gold's going
higher. He said that IBM may be
the best chart in the book. That
is a quandary for me. Why?
Because i have not been
recommending IBM. But I think
that the chart is so compelling,
and Roke is so compelling, that
I've got to reconfigure and,
right now, IBM is looking more
bullish than bearish. So maybe
you stick with IBM.

AKAM |

Akamai Technologies Inc.
(AKAM)
Jim:
Wait two days and pull the
trigger. That's been my
experience. See, right now,
what's happened is you've got a
lot of people who are saying,
wait a second, I've got a "head
and shoulders" going. I've got
to get out before the getting's
good. And they've already...
they're just going to let this
thing go down. And here's what I
say... You wait until two days
from now. I don't even care
about price. Let it settle in,
and then you buy. Don't forget
Limelight Networks
(LLNW)...
we had the CEO on. That's a good
little $5 spec too.

EZchip Semiconductor Ltd.

Jim:
You're over thinking it there,
partner!... Here's the deal...
here's what I need you to do...
I need you to buy
Cisco
(CSCO*)!
Hey, Cisco's cheap. I called up
recently with my friend, John
Chambers. Things are good. The
stock's inexpensive. C-S-C-O is
better. You are outthinking
it... a Cardinal sin on Mad
Money, Bill... also known as
Cramerica.

AMZN |

Amazon.com (AMZN)
Jim:
Alright, now here's the deal
with Amazon... If you want to
ring the register... because
everybody in the worlds wants a
profit... I will not fight that.
Right here, right now, I am
telling people, if you want to
ring the register
on Amazon, I bless it. It is
painful to turn a profit into a
loss. Take a little off the
table.

Micron Technology Inc. (MU)
Jim:
Oh man!... No!... Sell, sell,
sell! Hey listen, I've got
semiconductor companies that are
good, up the wazoo... without
that in the food chain. That and
Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD)
are both sells. Listen, I'll
take
Intel (INTC*)
over that. That's dead money. I
know that
the charitable trust
owns it, but you know what?
That's the wrong stock (i.e.,
Intel).
Texas Instruments (TXN)
is better than that one too, if
we want it.
Integrated Device Technology
(IDTI)
on the tax credit is better than
that.

Tesla Motors (TSLA)
Jim:
Oh man, I'm going to sell more
cars this year than Tesla... I
don't like Tesla... sell, sell,
sell. I think that we need to be
in Ford... not the preferred.
That one is now on the sideline,
trading above par. We like Ford
common (stock) on the breakout
above $13. That's a better one.

Home Depot (HD*)
Jim:
Oh... two downgrades, including
one today that just... it hurt
me. The downgrade hurt me. It
did. It like crushed me to my
core... It was Buckingham...
they're a good outfit. I am a
believer in housing. I think
that Home Depot is not done. I
saw that the stock didn't even
pull back on the downgrade...
buy, buy, buy... What does that
tell you? It tells you to buy,
buy, buy.

 |
MFC |
12.38 |
Manulife Financial
Corporation (MFC)
Jim:
I prefer you to be in a better
blue chip, which is
Prudential (PRU*).
Prudential reported a great
quarter. It's buying the AIG
business. You know, it's buying
a particular part of the Asian
business. Here's the problem...
PRU is waiting to do an equity
deal (i.e., offering more stock
through a secondary offering).
People are waiting for that
deal. I think you should get in
on that deal. It's a
charitable trust
name.

Jim:
I like you! You've got horse
sense! This is an inexpensive
stock... buy, buy, buy! I am
taking
MetroPCS Communications Inc.
(PCS)
right now, which is at $11, and
saying to roll that money in
PCS, which is really a huge win
for us from Speculative Friday,
and put it in Sprint. I like
your call. I think it makes
sense.

You come to me with a winning
team like the Spartans (caller

pollute it with a golf stock
that has no edge whatsoever! I
say the heck with Callaway! Put
it all... all in... Michigan
State!

Comments: |

PBR |
34.68 |
Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR)
Jim:
Troubling... it's troubling sir,
here's why... because no sooner
do they do this gigantic
secondary and then they
basically announce... I saw a
report this week from
Barclays... they basically
announced that they have to do
more stock... that was the
analysts report. I used to think
this was the easiest play in the
book. I am now concerned. I do
like Brazil... I can not
recommend Petrobras in good
conscience because there is just
such an overhang.
|
|
 |
SHLD |
71.68 |
Sears Holdings (SHLD)
Jim:
Sears is an interesting
speculation... I can not totally
endorse it... the last quarter
wasn't that good or wasn't that
bad... it's my friend Eddy
Lampert.. I said at the
beginning of the show, it's not
about friends it's about
money... he is a friend and I
like him... I trust the
relationship and I feel the
company is a good speculation,
alright... let's leave it a
that....
Home Depot (HD*)
is my favorite in the industry.

Penn West Energy Trust (PWE)
Jim:
Eh... you know what, don't
buy... don't buy... don't buy.
It just had a big run. I like
BPT, I like
Permian Basin Royalty Trust
(PBT)
more, I like all the other
energy trusts a little more than
that frankly.

UNP |
84.86 |
Union Pacific Corp. (UNP)
Jim:
I'd take it up to 20, that's my
limit... I'd take it up to 20...
why?... because UNP has the most
upside contracts while rolling
over they're going to give you
price rises... don't forget,
Warren Buffett
bought Burlington... Burlington
is not as good as Union Pacific.
This is a terrific stock... I
rarely recommend stocks at a
52-week high, I have to do it in
this one, it's just too good.
|
|
 |
HRB |
13.82 |
H & R Block (HRB)
Jim:
I'm not going to there... if I
wanted to be in that sector....
Intuit... INTU... what a better
earnings profile and a lot more
growth. I say no....don't buy
H&R Block...
|
|
 |
GMCR |
26.98 |
Green Mountain Coffee
Roasters (GMCR)
Jim:
I play black on my fantasy
league, I like that... I do not
like Green Mountain. Earlier
last week I said that, Green
Mountain sees very vulnerable...
at the time it was $30.50...
that was not this Thursday but
the previous Thursday... now
it's $26... I'm still not
pulling the trigger... don't
buy... no, I don't like.... both
Herb Greenburg and I... he's my
buddy from "day side"... "day
side" happens to be TV speak for
earlier in the day... and we
both feel like that there are
just too many questions here,
there's too much risk and that's
why I'm going to leave it at
that.

|
 |
DD |
46.66 |
DuPont (DD)
Jim:
I say hail to the chief Nancy...
here's the deal. Dupont's still
got an outside yield... again,
I'm doing it... I'm violating it
twice... Union Pacific I said
was good, now Dupont I'm saying
is good. And by the way, I would
love to go down to Delaware...
that's right, that's where my
dad... he used to take me down
to Delaware... and I want to sit
down with Alan Coleman who may
be the finest CEO in America
today... along with a terrific
stock that you want to own which
is Dupont.

CBOE |
20.85 |
CBOE Holdings, Inc. (CBOE)
Jim:
You know what? I had earlier
thought this was going to be
good then I called on it... I
don't know at 19, 20... I got to
tell you... I know it doesn't
have the blow up earnings that I
want... I have to tell you that
NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX)
I think has a better earnings
profile... but heck, come on...
down here, you got to pull the
trigger a little bit.

First Horizon National Corp.

Jim:
I like FHN, nobody else does...
two stocks that got upgrade this
week... PNC and USB are better
regionals than FHN... FHN is the
speculative... the banking group
is hated... mortgage
moratorium... at $11, I think it
works.

he would buy the stock or,

Please read his comments to

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. |
