Ship Finance (SFL): "No way. No how. I want out."

Sara Lee(SLE): "They wouldn't know good news if it hit them with a sausage. This is the Laurence Olivier of stocks. It's that bad of an actor. (Just kidding. He was great.)"

Dresser-Rand(DRC): "I think Dresser-Rand is a good stock. They reported a good quarter and didn't get any response to that. I'm sticking with it."

Intel(INTC): "When you look at the lease on this House of Pain, you know whose name is on it? Mine." [Cramer owns the stock for his ActionAlertsPLUS charitable trust.]

Teva Pharmaceutical(TEVA): "I want to ring the register."
