remarks from ben bernanke t. dow up 150 points only to sell off violently from-month-old negative dments released by the fed later this afternoon. the dow closing down 80 points. s&p falling .83%. no, nasdaq diving 1.11%. >> the house of pain! >> yeah, it was one confusing day as bernanke's fresh comments in front of commerce. he continues to leave interest rates low the economy is still in a funk. we are then slumped by the release of old fed minutes that questioned the need for the bond buying program. the confusion over what the fed will ultimately do? grant a lot of selling. you get me wondering, wondering if the minutes were released first and the testimony given after, would we have closed up today instead of down? more important, though, the conflicting statements potentially because the stuff seems to design than obsvuskate than clarify a chicken and egg problem. how much does bernanke matter to the bull if he stops his bond buying? was today's action a premonition of what things will look like? i think this question holds the key to what will happen next of a magnificent and, yes, unheralded run that so many people at the end of the day thought could be over. nobody doubts the fed's policy has played a huge role in the upward move that did hit some stiff resistance this afternoon and the pundits were saying was a key reversal day that definitely begins a huge snowball downhill. i don't know if that's the pace. but i do know that by keeping interest rates down with a huge amount of bond phi buying, actually taking down the bonds used by the government and the mortgage guaranteed by the government the fed keefe wiped out the alternative, the entire fixed inco fixed income alternative. the savings i earned much more on my checking account balance, most of my life than you can make right now long-term government bonds and that's caused a lot of behavior change. people who try to save can't refk the deposit with those miserable rates. even with inflation historically low, you aren't making anything on your taxes. it's just not working. those are broken. cds are broken. these bernanke enforced low rates force individuals and the managers of great repostories of wealth, pension funds, hedge funds, that would normally have many not all of their assets if bonds to lock for stocks in order to get that income. that is at the feat of ben bernanke, without a doubt. no issues there. in other words, no person with money is being force fed equities. this is responsible for a great deal of the leavetation we have seen, particularly in the high quality stocks. it's the chief reason why you see the procter & gambles, the clark's, the pfizers. the southern company, the dominions, the douk, the coneds and electric pour, aep. i'm not used to seeing, i've never seen the kind to have rally in that stuff. when you lay the tax treatment to congress not bernanke extended this year, something that makes bonds pretty much of a joke, you ascern the stocks on the stockmarket. i'm not men mizing the ber faeng talk. it's important. further, we know he has given people an extraordinary opportunity to by homes -- owe buy, by, buy -- housing affordability is off the charts and should be the principal investment of everyone who watches this show. they can't stay this cheap. the rates will eventually move up. at that point, buying a home or refinancing your current home will cost more. so it pays to buy a home right now. i refinanced three times during this stretch. it's brought in huge amounts to my bottom line. yes, i'm going to say it, look, i love stocks. this show is about stock, principal investment right now should be the house, not stocks. i hope that doesn't hurt me. but it's true. indeed, this is the very fundamental of a very important part of the rally, those consumer package goods stocks, a lot of the higher yielding stocks. it's not all of it. in fact, a third, maybe a half of it if you want to be total fed spoke the rest the ramally we have seen in 20 thrown since the sequester, talk is over, has far more to do actually with actual business. the profitability of the companies. yes, let's snow cover in a little fed talk here t. low rates have allowed companies to refinance the same way you can refinance your mortgage if that brings you credit. it allows companies to buy stock in record numbers, which is leading to a developing stock shortage, housing shortage, as money portions of the market. but there simply aren't enough shares to go around without bidding up the merchandise. of course, on days like today, you say, cramer, what are you talking about? today was average versus disapeergment we had 19 straight up tuesdays. i have been working on how many shares will be taken out of the market. crunch. it is exextraordinary. lots of never seen it. this year, it's been a whole new set of circumstance pushing stocks up. first, we are doing some high use in this country. let's face it, you can't boy a house. more people are getting jobs. is that bernanke's work? no, i don't think so. something i think will work for the federal government. at least by default. it stopped getting in the way of business after the fiscal cliff resolution and the made up sequester fears. yes, the government by its own polarization and paralysis removed what was in business. there is a tremendous pent up demand out there that has nothing to do with bernanke. we have more than half as many people in this country than we built from 2009, 2010, 2011 altogether. that's insane. our existing housing stock is bursting at the seems. we have por families jammed under a roof than we've ever had, including as many as 1,100 stateless immigrants who can't get a mother-in-law because you need a passportment plus we need a birth rate to drive retail sales for time to come. not bernanke, not increasing birth rate. man, he's a powerful fed chairman. no, i'm not giving that to him. the average age of a car is more than ten years old, not bernanke. they are gas guzzlers. they are being worn out from that auto zone conference we were on yesterday, the pent-up demand, not bernanke is halloween all things housing related, toll brother, what a quarter, everything that goats into a home. think ford, expansion to meet demands, all of these are buys, all of them. we got other forces at work, too, we have seen remarkable industrials in this country largely because europe has bottomed. not bernanke and aerospace is blooming. not bernanke. that's how you can see these incredible runs like 3m or emerson after they reported wonderful quarters. they are profit annual and growing, growing rapidly. is bernanke behind the energy boom? so many people discovered oil to make so much money with it? that's cheap oil here versus the global surprise so bountiful for companies. aeg, not bernanke. is the man behind the amazing new run in the pharmaceuticals, including the four horsemen of biotech, dpleed and regerman on? gilead and regeneron. bernanke is nott the lab tinkering with the compounds, is he? most recently we've seen the banks and general running because a lot of bad assets come back to life, given these discussions have found no info possible. mother-in-laws get less under water everr every day. that's less for people who owned this stuff and had to pay the price. now, there is a whole part of this market, tow, that defieser bernanke's wonders, free market. this is the part that is really a kind of unnerving. it's the part involving the every day american consumer. we may not be firing workers like we used to. small business, which creates jobs, nothing. nowhere, pathetic. we have almost no commercial real estate construction. one look at the retailers coming up short here, namely walmart and target, hey, man, that's where everybody shops, tells you spending remains tight for hundreds of millions of people in the middle. no scrimping, saving, having very little to show for it in the lost and last decade. it's those people who make it so bernanke can't give up this crusade just yet. everybody that owns stocks, they are winning. you are winning, while we wait for the struggling middle class companies. make no mistake about it. they aren't doing better, not yet. until then, i am willing to believe that bernanke will keep doing what he is doing. when these hundreds of millions do better financially, we have to deal with it. the tone made you feel like the afternoon bernanke, could be the real deal. i think the bottom line is this. we know the feds work magic. now, there are other forces working their magic, too. they aren't about to end. even if bernanke has decided his portion of the bull's fuel might at last be near the end of its sus nance. john in california. john. >> caller: hello, jim, the fan club out here. >> i'll take it. >> caller: thank you so much for giving us little guys a chance to compete on the field with what we go by with what you tell us. i have been involved in silver for a while. i bought it at $16, $20, all the way up to $40. now, i held off. it's gone back down to the low 20s. i'm wondering, should we get involved again? i really with the way they're printing money the low 20s, i'm pretty attract raed to it again. >> i get it. it's not my bailiwick. i like gold coins. i like the gold etfs, those malfunctioned. gold coins will have tremendous value. i want to own them. i'm a gold bug for gold coins. dan in wisconsin, dan! >> caller: jim, a big boo-yah for you. thank you for working so hard for us out there. >> i am trying to work hard here. i admit that. what's up? >> caller: i am doing my homework this morning. i see the split with zoetis. >> pfizer is doing so many things financially. i love zoetis the animal health business. how much do we spend on our animals in this country? it is incredible. zoetis is the better of the two. joe in carolina. >> jim, boo-yah to you, buddy. >> water up? >> i just have a quick question for you. what's your take on low stock after we're working on the first quarter earnings, is it a buy, a keep, or a sell? >> we learned a big lesson this morning in lowe's, we saw it. we sent it down a buck 40, a buck 30. the indoors of lowe's was doing excellently. it's gotten better and better. the answer is, i think as good as lowe's turned out to be, it makes home depot better. has the feds worked magic, yes? "mad money" will be right back. coming up, rod to recovery. as the devastation in oklahoma dominates news coverage, cramer's turning to the company that helps communities recover in the wake of disaster. jim's exclusive with the ceo of clean harbours is next. and later...looking for a thrilling stock, but worried after today's roller coaster action, six flags has been on quite a ride and paying a healthy dividend to boot. but as the summer season kicks off, can the great adventure continue? cramer talks to the ceo. all coming up on "mad money." the ocean gets warmer. the peruvian anchovy harvest suffers. it raises the price of fishmeal, cattle feed and beef. bny mellon turns insights like these into powerful investment strategies. for a university endowment. it funds a marine biologist... who studies the peruvian anchovy. invested in the world. >> there is one stock that tends to go higher whenever there is a horrific natural disaster. a real national tragedy. when these bad things happen because the underlying companies involved in cleaning off during the aftermath of a tragedy him take this brutal tornado in the superbs of oklahoma city displaced some 10,000 people. when i hear of this i hope, of course, everyone affected been okay because there are, in fact, more things important than money. even though that is not what we talk about on "mad money." the second thing is clean harbors, coh. a company almost always plays a huge role in man-made relief. this came to light three years ago, since i recommend the stock in 2010, clean harbor has gone got an 23% gain. hurricane sandy caused the stock to jump a quick 10 points. now in the aftermath of this tornado, we know clean harbours is on standby with multiple state agencies to dispose of the hazardous waste dealt with the cyclone and getting rid of broken power transformers. we know these tragedys will keep happening, clean harbour will be there in the aftermath to get things back to normal and clean things up. all that said, it's about far more than disaster week. they clean up after dirty industry the largest being the oil and gas base. if you count exports in refining. they acquired safety clean and other hazardous recyclers in north america. clean harbour reported three weeks ago, may 1st. excluding one-time charges from the safety clean deal, they beat off a 33% basis. ref nows were up more than 50% year over year. the company had to cut the revenue guidance t. stock dropped immediately 53 and change. however, the underlying clean harbor started rallying again. it reported the so-called disappointing core. so let's check in with al the chairman and ceo of clean harbours to learn more about what his company is doing and where it is headed. welcome back to "mad money." >> great being with you, jim. >> it's great to talk about. we are right in the wake of this terrible tragedy. it's the type of thing, i know a couple companies are quick to handle. clean harbours is one of them. i don't want to presume anything. i imagine you are in touch with the authorities. you will be down there trying to figure out exactly how to get things back to some way not normal. it will never be normal again, where at least it's safe. >> absolutely. yeah. we are going to be brought in to help after the recovery to help them rebuild and as you said take care of the utilities, take care of the oil the chemical the household hazardous waste, even down to, you know, carcasses from the livestock that were killed during that terrible tragedy. >> alan, you are the nation's largest incinerator company. when i hear transformers, obviously, those are blown up. when i hear about some of what clearly is toxic, i have to believe there is no other place to put this stuff other than in your incinerators. >> well, we are the largest hazardous waste management company in north america. we operate over 100 facilities today. nine of those are incinerators. we also operate 11 landfills as well as a multitude of recycling facilities like the new safety clean recycling facility. so our goal is to handle those kind of events and to do everything we can to recycle as much as we can, but ultimately, if need be, dispose of incinerators. >> to follow up on the incinerator business. stiefel put out a positive reporting, they are coming off line because of increasing regulations. you are probably the only company to manage and maintain incinerators. >> absolutely. our customers operate over 60 incinerators. what we're seeing is their focus is to focus more on their own plans and to shut down their capacity and outsource more of what they're doing internally. so, today, we're operating at a high level utilization. we're actually building a new facility. we're adding another 70,000 tons of capacity. which is almost 70% por capacmo capacity. >> i'm trying to help people how they look. this is not just an oil spill tragedy company. you build up other businesses, including safety clean it looks like that previous quarter, people are not understanding the integration between the two. >> well, we have over 13,000 employees. the majority of the work we do is day in, day out service work for our customers. we're maintaining things within their plans. we are doing cleaning. we are disposing of their waste materials. that's the majority of our close to $4 billion in ref few today. so about a $100 million is a revenue like you are talking about, whether it's sandy or the large gulf kind of spill or any kind of hurricane that were called in, but the majority of our work is day in and day out service work. >> now, a lot of people have been telling me, jim, you know, this has become much more of on oil play, 40% of the business is down. if oil is down, in western canada, they had a facebook question, for instance, about what are you doing with fracking. the these markets turn down or are re-refined oil turns down from safety clean, then it's going to hurt your earnings going forward. >> well, you know, we see the renaissance in the north american market as just an amazing opportunity for clean harbor. both on natural gas and on the oil side and we're making substantial investments in providing the kind of services that those industries need. whether it's disposal or drill cuttings, handling the frack water or handling emergency response work that they have, our real focus is to help many of our customers as those markets continue to grow as we all are seeing. and we just think that's just an awesome place for us ob. the safety clean business is a hazardous waste management company. we took on 200,000 more customers, 150 more plants, 4,000 employees and they're doing exactly what clean harbor historically has done, which is manage hazardous waste, particularly focused on small quantity generators. so there is the recycling of oil. there is a big part of the safety clean business, but what a great story to be able to them our customers is that we have a sustainable offering for them to be able to take those wastes, recycle them. resell them back into the market. >> you have been involved in pretty much every kind of commercial still involving ohio obviously, you guys are the experts. as between, if you are the president of the united states, as between knowing that there is a big pipe that can come from canada, okay, keystone, vs. all the train lines that are put in of which there was a spill the other day, with i is actually from your point of view going to create more work, so to speak, which is the most dangerous and would have the most spills? >> well, clearly, you know, there is very few spills that we work on from pipelines or even from train leakage, to be honest with you. we really do hope the pipeline project gets built. we are a big proponent of that. we expect to see continued growth in the oilsands in western canada, whether the north/south pipeline gets built or whether canada decides to go east or west with their materials. they will get to 5 million barrels a day and become a major exporter. and i think personally, it's a great opportunity for the united states to work together with canada, to make that happen. but most of the work that we do on event basis is not from pipelines, very safe transportation method for our customers. >> okay. we saw you and we were up in the bakken. we know eagleford is getting developed. as these shals get developed, are we seeing more growth and bore business for clean harbor? >> absolutely. that business is worth $500 million. we took on lauren schwin and an executive from halliburton. she feels she can grow that business to a billion dollars and beyond. so we're moving into some of these other oil and gas plays. we have predominantly focused on the marcel lus and north dakota markets. we got a lot of equipment, a lot of underutilized assets. that certainly has hurt or business in the first quarter compared to last year. but i feel very confident this year we will be putting a lot of that equipment back to work again. >> that's the chairman and ce of of clean harbor. a tough situation in oklahoma, his company will be involved. the day-to-day oil and cleanup in general is very strong. good to see you again. >> nice to see you, thank you. remember, go back, initially stock gets hit. people don't understand, they're trading off the headline. under closer scrutiny, people realize this is a consistent business, which is why i like it. "mad money" is back after the break. coming up, looking for a thrilling stock but worried after today's roller coaster action. six flags has been on quite a ride and paying a healthy dividend to boot. but as the summer season kicks off, can the great adventure continue? cramer talks to the ceo. . right now we've got a quiet bull market going on in theme parks and quiet bull mark, they're my favorite kind. take six flags, sis. that's the largest regional theme operator in the world. 16 locations in the united states, one in mexico city. one more in montreal. not only has six flags been worried, stock has given a 38% return since we spoke to the ceo in july of last 84. it also pays you a fabulous dividend. plus, six flags is an innovator. i don't mean they invent lots of cool rides, although, the company is about to introduce the tallest spring ride, the 400-foot-tall texas sky screamer, which sounds like a lot of fun t. company has embedded lots of new ways to sell people tickets, for example, they got an ecommerce platformp. they have a program that make isn't tickets less expensive. they let you skip long lines, i love that. for the first time this year, they're selling food at the parks, year round, which is the first. my only worry here is of course stocks had big runs, up 28% for the year. i do love that yield even after this big move. let's take a closer look with jim reed anderson, the chairman and president of six flags, hear more about his company's prospects. welcome back to "mad money." >> it's a pleasure to be with you. how are you? >> okay. how are you? >> excellent. >> all these great features, it's a strange interface, the things you are doing with the customers, which is a season parks it's a bargain, they're also really good for your gross margins. this is the kind of thing that's happened to make sure theme parks are totally investable businesses? >> jim, you know they're investable businesses. you have to be recognized as the guy recognized this space and talked about the power of what was to come and our stock is up fivefold. the whole industry is up. what i want you to know is there is more to come. this is a tremendous industry and i think it's with a little bit of tlc, which is what we are doing now, i think we got great growth still ahead of us. >> it turn ut oust out, it is immense. >> to rereplicate six flags, it's 5-6 billion to create a six flags if you could get government approval to do so. you know that's difficult to do now. >> right. now, what happened to make it so that it went from something that a lot of people didn't think was junkie to something you don't necessarily expect to get a discount anymore. i remember going to six flags with my can of coke and getting a discount, thinking, jeerksz i don't know if that's what i want. i'll take the money. >> you know, jim, you know the history of six flags, it was challenging. different managing teams. i think it's now about discipline, financial discipline and being focused on getting guests what they want, making them happy when they go to the park. i think we have a tremendous value offering people appreciate. we don't need to discount as we used to. >> i think that's important. you also are able to recognize the value of a new ride. it seems like a new ride brings people out in droves. >> you hit the nail on the head. i think there are several aspects driving growth for us going forward. one is that we've introduced this concept of news in every park, every year. so we've got rides, we got shows. we got attractionsment we got water slides. we got it all every year in every single park. that does work. people love it. >> you seem to use a lot of technology. i imagine you cut your labor costs at the same time make it more efficient. >> we have cut our labor costs and improved efficiency across the board. from an innovative investment, we have the ability to sell online. we can communicate online and find out what they think. you will be blown away, jim, we have something like 3-400,000 surveys with edo online every 84. so we know exactly what our guests are thinking. we can target our offerings to those guests. so that will drive growth in itself. >> you return 25% to shareholders. >> absolutely. >> what is it about your industry where people get what we want out of a stock. >> let me explain why i think this is a growth business going forward, first and foremost, we generate $4point.50 in cash eps. we pay out. you talked about dividend, we were paying 60 cents, now it's 90 cents. >> you can pay more. >> our target is by 2015 to be at about $6 per share. that's our goal. i think the trend that we're on, the season pass penetration we've had the combination of these new rides, our new marketing, go big, go six flag, which have very local. most of our guests are coming locally. they're not, you know, thinking about traveling somewhere a long way away. they're thinking of coming to their local park. >> do you love bald guys? >> i love bald guys. i know where you are going with this. >> what's the big nationally wrong campaign? >> it was. initially, a decade ago, it worked. because it created a national brand. >> right. >> but really now, now that we got this national brand, we're the only company to truly have a national brand across theme parks. that now is the time to go on move on, do this go big, go local campaign, focus on our local parks. >> we don't need bogo anymore. >> mr. six. >> that's what he was. mr. 6. you did the cleaning of this balance sheet had to be met miraculous for you guys. it was so deadly. you are in great shape now. you refinanced. >> we are, we are in a very good place. not only have we seen a doubling of our profitability. our mar jens are now the highest in the industry. we have gone from 24% to 39%. our net leverage, jim, we are at 3.2 times the lowest in the industry. so we feel very good about that. >> if you want to add a park. you have a thousand achers that are available? >> we have more than that available in our different parks. >> so you can continue to add a ride if every place? >> yeah, jim, i'll tell you, quite frankly, again, this is about shareholder creation. we do not need extra space. we have the space we need. that's really excess land. overtime as the market improves, we will sell that land off. >> okay. you have 1 billion left in net -- yes. >> so what are you going to be able to do with those? >> i think pay no taxes forever, right? >> we are in a position where we pay fairly low tax force the foreseeable future. we think at least 2017-2018, we are in this luxurious position. we will use it to the benefit of our shareholders. >> you as the consumer, if you had to gauge. i know you are a bargain, with ehave been to every theme park in the country. are you a good measure of the strength of the consumer or are you a measure of value? >> i think we're a measure of both. obviously, the consumer does get affected by the economy. i said for three years now the economy is tough. think what we have been able do is create this value environment where people can go out, have fun for a day, create memories with their family. it's a bargain. you talked about the season pass, they're 44% of our attendance, we think they will continue to grow. >> have you done a miraculous job. i remember the days, i didn't want to have six flacks on the show. i thought we would hurt people. when i saw you. i said, this business has the model of dreams. thank you so much to jim reed anderson, six flags president and ceo. sure it's run. that distribution is what matters.

[ music playing ] ask . younger people hate the food chain. it's like ronald reagan with russian missiles. he wasn't willing to trust it, but he wanted to verify. millenials, they want the safety of their food embedded and verified before they're they'll buy it or eat it. that's exactly what whole foods does. they believe the whole foods shouldn't sell, if they don't sell something unless it was as good as it can be for them look, i say good as it can be. if it's made at whole foods, it can still be fattening. i love those chickens. i know they're fattening. you need whole foods to protect you from a world of mass food production. the way you needed upton sinclairs "the jung him" and the wretched unsanitary conditions of the meat industry at the turn of the last century. whole foods reported a quarter where it shot up 10 points, it seemed to have advanced 3 vents cents more finishing down a buck-and-a-half. the stock spent time in the low $80 wilderness as stock managers become convinced the ardoor for publicly expensive organic food have dimmed and in their places come target, walmart, kroger, trader joe's the cold organic side. ah, it was never me. i never thought whole foods lost a step. i stuck by it. more important, the company heard what had people said had gone amiss. they saw it, themselves. they adjusted, cut expenses, introduced lower priced merchandise that brought the numbers right back up and then son, bargains on chickens, plus it hinted with the lack of cannibalization out there and what was thought to be the saturated areas around boston, if the 1,000 target goal for stores in the u.s., they have about 350 now. it could be too low. that's certainly my take away. i think in light of the same store sales success in collegeville, massachusetts, by the way, almost doubled what's in new york state and the instant hit in south bend, indiana, home of notre dame. you can argue that every college needs a whole foods nearby because they're healthy eating. they're driving this thing t. company rolled out plans for an affinity program. i think judging by the starbucks mindset of whole foods, they think alike. so does chipotle, it could be an instant boost to sales for whole foods, do not underrate hospitality, something danny meyers taught us well. it can be the most powerful source. there is also another catalyst out there. the opening of the brooklyn new york that i alluded to last night is coming in november. i have been watching this amazing giant size store, replete, get this, with a 20,000 square foot greenhouse on top of it. 2 million people are getting whole foods. it's a reminder of how long the runway is ahead of them for this company. whole foods splits to two for one next week. i know it sound silly. this stock is not done going higher. in fact, it's just now breaking out and setting the stage for multi-year expansion, yes, multi-year multiple expansion as the path from long-term growth becomes clearer once again. stay with cramer. ben bernanke will not slow down. i will tell you why. no fifth amendment for irs as well as lois lerner and senator tom colburn reports in oklahoma. next up on "the kudlow report." s which help us attract the industry's brightest minds who create powerful strategies for a country's investments which are used to build new schools to build more bright minds. invested in the world. bny mellon.
