Rails. Maybe the bulls are too complacent. Actually not paying up enough. Byebye byebye byebye. For stocks. Thats how you have to feel after this session. Where the dow is averaging up 19 points and s p edging up 0. 9 higher and nasdaq edging 3. 4 . Underneath, theres astonishment. Astonishment about the prices companies are paying for each other. Not the index buyers for the market. But what private companies are paying for other companies. Lets start with tyson foods. Theyre buying hillshire brands, theyre fattening meats and even more fattening pies. They launched its own bid for pinnacle hillshire foods. Jimmie dean, id like you to get to know wishbone salad dressing and sara lee, you met your competition. Both are moving to block this merger between hillshire and pinnacle. They wanted hillshire themselves apparently from before when hillshire launched its pinnacle bid. Tyson and pinnacle are titans of the fresh and fresher protein aisle. Youll see their stuff if you go to the supermarket tonight and need to move to the processed protein business and for a company not even for sale, a company acquiring another business. Gave them the heisman, didnt want to touch them. Neither tyson nor pilgrim cared what hillshire said. They insisted on owning hillshire, what the stock market didnt care for. Who are you and i and the Portfolio Managers to question companies who know their industry like pilgrims pride and tyson. We now believe they believe hillshire was worth far more than we were willing to pay in the stock market. After a brief bidding today we learned tyson is paying an astounding 63 a bid for hillshire. A company with tired old brands with little to no growth frankly a bit of questionable value in a world where natural and organic are ascending. A 70 premium where the stock was before the bidding war. How absurd is this . Not long ago in this show i recommended hillshire for a breakup play because my get rich quick showed what hillshire did as part of destruction of old sarah lee, they get a higher value over time. I thought hillshire could over time be worth as much as 40. You know what i actually thought i was stretching it when i did it. I remember saying, gee, i hope im internet too aggression sift saying this company would be worth 40 but with past brands it will get there. I didnt think it would get there in four weeks then some. 40 for me and 63 it goes out. Neither what these two companies willing to pay even before the beginning of the bidding war. Who am i to question them . I dont raise beef except for that delicious beef empanada and skillet steak at the brooklyn boys. I believe i was probably more aggressive on hillshire than any else who followed it. I read all the research and i was the high man so to speak until this bidding war erupted a few weeks ago. At least the best known, oscar mayer. We puzzled over this thing. After careful thought using the best pricing tyson was using until the auction we came up with a 20 billion valuation of this 31 billion kraft company. I asked the staff, maybe im being too outrageous, maybe im stretching it for the sake of drama. I now realize i was being too conservative. After tysons final bid for hillshire today my oscar mayer evaluation is probably too low by a couple billion dollars. That might seem insane. We cant use what you or i think the price is worth. We have to base it on what the actual industry players are willing to pay. You wont get someone shorting hillshire today. I guess you could say my wildly optimistic of the breakup of kraft was too bearish. Not just food taking over bids. You know i likebiotech companies and many i supported for ages. Mention them positively, hey however, i also notice biotech at times have gotten too heated. Ive seen many biostock get mauled by the bears. In the end not too lock ago i circled the wagons around them. Little guy, candidly i walked away from them. Recognizing a lot of people made a lot of money in these stocks and didnt want to be greedy and bulls make money and bears make money and hogs that was my stance. I never would have recommended a little 7 like identics, a company with drug formulations kicking around including a help c treatment that recently had promising phase 2 results. Today, we learned merck is paying 24. 50 a share for this 7 company, a 238 premium to where identics went out monday. One of its drugs caused heart problems and put on hold by the fda. Anyway, owning the stock seemed pointless. First, gilead appears to develop the magic for help c and selling well disstispite the 80,000 pr tag. And Bristol Meyers bought a Company Called inhibitix and written off. Why . Clinical trial fatalities. I couldnt imagine a company wanting to make an acquisition. Turns out to be game match. Turns out not only merck went identix, so did Johnson Johnson and great companies. Considering the drug is only in phase two testing and what theyre having with help c drugs, i would have never recommended the stock. I thought it was insane and now have to be more aggressive than i was with the small biotechs. I have to redouble my efforts and find companies that could be takeover candidates starting with, yes, seattle. Both could have been worth a heck of a lot more than i thought based on what i have seen. And an ms drug is soaring. After identix, who might tell you sell receptives. Analog devices buys hittite. Worth 2 million a deal that instantly sent up both stocks. Hittite. I remember jocking about this company. Lets smoke the hittites. The shorts were smoked, a totally under the radar company, soared 77 and change and the 5 gain in the inquirer stock in analog. How about cypress . Is the market way too negative about that one now . Call me a buyer. Finally, Family Dollar, the worst run of the dollar store. Carl icahn takes a big stake, and next you know, Dollar General, that rallied 7 based on the hope it will merge with Family Dollar. The hope. Who knows . I have positive activism later on in the so. You never know. Maybe walmart wants to get involved here. I know it wants to be in smaller configurations. Maybe you buy both. I never would have said Something Like that before this morning. Let me give you the bottom line here. After all these takeover aggressive bids i have to wonder if ive become too bearish and ive become too uncreative. Maybe i have to shake off my own positive complacency and get more aggressive about the real evaluation of Companies Based on what they might be worth to potential acquirers. Isnt that the true take away from todays session . Joe in arizona. Joe. Caller jim, baba baba booyah, Professor James cramer. Thank you for that tenured endorsement. Whats up . Caller i have a stock you recommended two years ago, warehouser. I had nice aappreciationiation and decent dividends along the way. I just got a noise fr notice from them in conjunction to the mars trust theyre spinning off their real estate business and said you can either take your shares and do all, part or none of them and spin them off into the new business. New business, they project, will not be paying dividends for a while because theyre investing back. Whats your opinion . Stay with warehouser or go with the spinoff . Stay with warehouser. I think thats a ring the register situation. We did well with that one and time to move on. Keep warehouser, still a good company. Lets go to wesley in florida, wesley. Caller yeah, jim. Id like to ask you a question about twitter stock. I have two 6yearold daughters. Say hi to jim. Hi, jimmie. Lady, good to talk to you. Caller thats good. Id like to know is that a good investment for them in the future for theeducation or what . Yes, it is. When it became public i said its over valued and went up and up and when it gets to 29, i really refigure and rethink. It went to 29 and i went bullish. Thats the way i have to be and be consistent. I love the way the girls came on because we have the Family Affair show on friday. Maybe we are all too complacent. Im tired of it. I have to get more creative myself if i want to run this company correctly. I think maybe theres companies we need to get aggressive about. Still ahead on mad money. California chrome man missed the triple crown but doesnt mean you cant make money playing the ponies. And stocks soared after icahn bought a stake. Just ahead, an outspoken ceo defending his stock after cratering nearly 50 . Am absolutely sure Athena Health is a 1,000 a share stock. Absolutely certain.

When i hear the term battleground i dont think of gettesburg, what comes to mind is hotly contested stocks caught in the crossfire between the bulls and bears. Athena health. Its based off a platform that helps doctors manage the business side of their practices by collecting frinsurance companies. Athena got hit as high flying Momentum Games went out of style falling from 4,200 in march down to 128 and change today. Adding insult to injury, roughly a month ago, all the hedge fund bigwigs get something to share best ideas and noted short Stiller Einhorn delivered the presentation over athena. Being too promotional pointing out he athena is locked in. That was a brutal presentation from i hon, knocked the stock from 126 to 109 in a single session. Since then, athena has made its way back and then some. While its off its highs it has a gain since we initially interviewed the ceo in january of 2013. While i have cooled on the cloud stocks several months ago and everyone has to be. What do we make of athena now . Stocks are expensive and is a battleground and can be dangerous. The president of Athena Health, mr. Bush, welcome back to mad money. Its a pleasure. Thank you thank you. Thanks a lot, man. You have a new book out, where does it hurt its the most interesting chapter to me. Thats before i horn. It has the essence whats going on in the chapter about epic, a company i horn and theyre saying you cant touch it. Why not sketch out the difference between what epic does because theyre very successful and what Athena Health would do. Epic isnt evil. Its an Enterprise Software company. As youve seen in many companies, epic is an Enterprise Software. Theyre oracle. In your industry, tsame as al the others. Thats right. Were taking on a more complicated, sophisticated, sort of higher test for sale market sales automation, the same basic thing that a cloudbased Business Model that allows the suppliers on a net work than those building separate islands of software. What i thousand that made this industry less rational what i found made this industry less rational is the privacy in your book. You say were the one that protects your privacy lock it in a value and put it at the bottom of the ocean and no one can see it and you get different care because ycant coordinate different choices the customer has to favor your model. Any who wants to shop databashopthe big argument in the book. Its not an expression of humanity, we cant shop for it and fire pieces we dont like and get other pieces instead. If we get to a Health Care Cloud were almost at and where athea health is providing a lot of underlying fabric, doctors can shop and patients can shop for care without having interruptions in the information necessarily to treat them safely. Thats where were going. Enterprise software cant do that. You buy your island over there and i buy my island over here and no Network Connects us. What i get concerned about as someone who really embraces the cloud, like the empire has struck back. They recognize going out, a private company, very good company. The Larger Company i want to depersonalize it. I know you said the thousand sand dollars, i dont want to go there. You said there is this revenge of the Enterprise Software and is in part by the valuations have come down so much. Sure. You point out your kern about cloud and even einhorns kern about high valuation of companies, when youre forecasting lack of enthusiasm and courage in the new marketplace, new Business Models will have a tougher road to work. And we talked about what was said before, i know precious and precious knows us and eventually we will not be using Enterprise Software in an internet era. You say we will all Value Companies only on earnings per share. If thats the case, you can see why the market judges all of them. Sure. Your whole point is counted cyclical things, and who is good, im not saying where athena is on the value cycle, social outs on the Business Model is probably a good place to be. Is there anything inaccurate in this presentation. One of the things he has declining earnings estimate, declining revenues and that seems out of sync with the thousand sadollar price target. First of all, i was trying to be facetious. I wanted to be sure because you were trying to be an outsider buyer deferrer i was trying to be a sexy seller but theyre not in charge of selling their company. I think valuations are valuation is in the eye of the beholder. If you think all the Cloud Companies are good, you would say this one is cheaper than a lot of Cloud Companies. Yeah. And a lot do not have declining earnings estimates. I want to be sure this is an accurate chart of estimates. Thats a really good question. I dont really look at ultimate earnings as a way of running the company. I want every 3ruk9 product we sell to have a higher gross margin and all the products to be 30 a year. You havent been able to do that. Sure, i have. If you strip out the acquisition, youve not been im not giving guidance of 30 . Its worth a shot every year and some years weve grown more than 30 organic and some years less. We have enough room with 5 of doctors and 96 still on conservative software its a superior product. I happen to have loved your previous cfo, a very smart guy. I continue to love him. Will we have a new cfo within the next couple of weeks . Not in the next couple of weeks. Were big believers in no wine before its time. Our acting cfo is a terrific cfo. What were trying to get in the opportunity by tims unfortunate but lucky for him departure good for him. More of chief administrative officer. I want to see if i can get the three internal reports i have focused on administering the focus of the company into one great new leader and gives me more of my dance card to focus on new products. Where does it hurt . The entrepreneurs guide and where things are broken down. Common sense advice and like the chapter about athena versus epic. I thought that was a very very logical way to look at what your company is doing versus the entrenched interests. Coming up, dash for dollars. Shares of Family Dollar soared today after activist investor carl icahn reported a big stake in the company. Should you follow this billionaires trip to the Discount Store or browse for a better deal . Dont miss cramers take. Has carl icahn totally lost his mind. On friday we learned he amassed a guy gannic 9. 4 stake in the worst dollar store, Family Dollar, fdo, i y i told you was worst player in the dollar stores. It has been unable to execute. Not only that, has a challenged ceo, lags behind competitors dollar store and dollar tree and behind their inability to execute. Dollar general and dollar tree have been posting positive sales and Family Dollar has posted declining samestore sales. Family dollar gets much lower Gross Margins than the others. I can go on and on. But the point here is Family Dollar has Serious Company issues, real internal problems in many cases are several inflicted. Family dollar is a pathetic parody of the other dollar stores, especially dollar tree where i love taisle and got fiv pair of legitimate sunglasses and do you know my daughter couldnt tell the difference between my Dollar General store sunglasses and her rayban knockoffs . Why would he buy 10 of the losing dollar store even if his position is made up of options and not common stock. Has the man with the midas touch last his touch. Apparently he and ackman have buried the hatchet and could ackman berried it in carls head . No. Why does he snap up a piece of a low company like Family Dollar . Because carl icahn is an activist investor and this is precisely what activists do. Let me take you behind the curtain and show you what activists do because they have become a powerful force for good. Activists are not like you and me and dont park their money and go along for the ride doing homework and find challenged companies where management make mistakes and use their considerable firepower to force those companies to make changes that can unlock it. Its a waste of money to invest your money in a well run company like Dollar General for activists like carl. No value to add. Instead take a poorly run company like Family Dollar and push for seats on the board and the stocks go higher than it did today based on Family Dollars Performance Today with the stock skyrocketing a little over 13 the market clearly believes icahn can deliver. To an activist like carl icahn, Family Dollar doesnt look like a loser at all, looks like an opportunity. He said he wants Family Dollar to force strategic changes. I see three ways to unlock value in Family Dollar. First, icahn could take them to a leveraged buyout. This is attractive because there is a strong precedent. Dollar general was taken private by kkr in 2007 and then brought it public again two years later in a total home run deal and now Dollar General is the best player in the business. Family dollar would be able to rapidly make aggressive changes the Public Market wouldnt necessarily stand for and 3450i might cause a bunch of loss and allowing them to boost margins as is the case with the highly successful Dollar General deal. However, you need to find an Equity Company willing to buy up the thing. Theres been a lot of chatter. Frankly, i dont see this happening. These Companies Want to make a profit. The only way for Family Dollar to have a good return is if somehow they rapidly turn the company around and grows much much faster than everyone expected over the last four or five years. I think it would be hard to find a private Equity Company to make this bet. And carl icahn mentioned a merger. Makes sense in the dollar store space given reduction in food stamp benefits, a major source of revenue and box discount retailers. After the merger the buying company would have increased buying power and real estate locations and potentially what could boost Dollar Generals net income by as much as 324 million. Earlier in the show i suggested walmart should consolidate the whole business to reignite its growth. If carl icahn can make that happen, more power to him. The problem is you need a willing buyer. I am skeptical Dollar General wants to aguirre Family Dollar. Remember, Dollar General is doing interview fine and could keep doing its current pays without doing any deals at all. And the ceo has always been a lover of organic products since it is much easier to manage than it is to try and manage an acquisition. Doesnt that eliminate the Family Dollar . Dollar general spent 800 million buying back its own stock. If i were Dollar General i would rather keep re purchasing my own high quality stock rather than lower dollar. I cant imagine howard levin the yee being willing to sell, founded by his dad and fiercely loyal to its independence and it will take a while. Its a management shakeup. I think he could try to oust howard levin from his position as ceo and would do a world of good for the company and the stock. Many of Family Dollars execution can be laid right at the feet of levin. Hes made a lot of embarrassing missteps. While he is an extremely nice man and wellintentioned he consistently failed to reach the low hanging freet fruit the other guys has. This is his third such attempt in six years, the last ones didnt last too well. We know icahn has little patience for ceos that dont deliver and i bet he tries to push levin out and get some seats on the board. Levin has support of the executives and the board. But i think icahn prevails because he has serious support among Family Dollars unhappy Shareholder Base and not the only one where there are three activists that control as much as perhaps 22 of the company. With that kind of financial firepower you can push through a lot of changes. Heres the bottom line. Dont be confused by carl icahns Family Dollar buy. Hes an activist investor. He didnt buy it because he likes this company like you and i might do. He got involved in Family Dollar because he thinks he can change the business and possibly management, enough to give the stock a major boost and you can see from todays action icahn already accomplish more for the stock in one session than levin has done in ages. Tom in washington, tom. Caller jim, id first like to thank you all you do for small investors, thank you. Thank you, tom. Thank you very much. Caller my question today, if im five below that hot retailer they reported last week and beat on both the top and bottom ends and gave good guidance and think theyre below the Family Dollar store on Specialty Retail an want to know your take on them. When i listened to the Conference Call i thought they were too skeptical that five below didnt put up just good numbers, im with you, i think five below works below 30 bucks. Activist investors not like you and me. Carl icahn has a dollar and a dream. He doesnt like the stock and believes he can change it and thinks he can turn it around to give it a boost. More mad money ahead whether protecting your pet or full family of livestock, theres serious cash in the animal kingdom. Tesla appeared to be the wonder car and wonder stock of our time.

Introducing the worlds first curved Ultra High Definition Television from samsung. Im always telling you breakups and spinoffs can be terrific ways for companies to unlock value. Sometimes the valuation creation takes some time. Consider zoetis. It spun off last year. Its a much faster growing business than the big familiaria company it spun out of even though it delivered a solid quarter with innings at 38 cents a share and dragged down by one time items. The stock has done next to nothing since it started trading a year and a half ago. This is a nice consistent company with a reasonable valuation. Sooner or later i have to believe zoetis will make it. And dont take it from me. Welcome the ceo of zoetis. Welcome to mad money. Thank you. Your presentation is about money and you do spinoff lot of cash. What is the best way to get the stock moving . Focus on the results we had last year, the year of the separation. We managed the complexity of the separation from pfizer and delivers our objective and delivered based on growth and the fact we doubled in the market, very good results that we were managing the complexity. Right. You think 2015 will be clear how your company is doing . We just disclose our guidance for 14. We are convinced in 2014 we continue growing and growing earnings faster than net revenues. Your company is integral to the food chain. Two companies were just bidding wildly high for a Company Called hillshire brands. They can only pull that kind of thing off if zoetis is doing the Science Behind keeping the animals healthy. Thats correct. We are invested significant a d. And bringing vaccines to the Health Care Market and to protect animals and perfecting the swooin industry in the swine industry in the u. S. This is just today, the government is spending 30 million to battle disease. Do you have something . Is there a vaccine in hand . We are conducting already tryouts that are showing first the safety, also efficacy. We hope that the vaccine will come to the market soon. Big horse race this weekend. We understand some horses taking drugs and other horses werent. What do you guys have performance enhancing that is allowed and isnt allowed for animals . We are providing products used by the veterinarians. In our cases, the majority of the portfolio that require the prescription of the animal, so we provide it to the veterinarians and they decide what is the best for keeping the animals healthy and some cases productive and some cases leave longer. In your presentation of the quart are the is one discussion where you were asked about antiinfective usage in europe particularly antibiotics and where europe has turned against it. Where are we in terms of the politics of zoetis both in europe and this country, for natural and organic . There are options. They can choose. Organic in the u. S. , about 5 of the total consumption, you see, is a significant part of the consumption which is not organic and is an important tool for the veterinarians to keep animals healthy and protect animals against diseases. We expect it will grow slightly below what we predicted in times of Market Growth for the future, but nevertheless, still growing. One last question. There have been some companies apparently come up for sale, lily bought a company and novartis. If another drug company came up for sale, is that something you kick the tires on . First acquisition of Animal Health hazards is showing the high value of these assets. Develop we will be a Company Generating significant cash. If we have the opportunity either external opportunities or internal returning the cash to our shareholders. Excellent. I think were at an Inflection Point judging. Thanks. Dont move. Thank you, sir.

I posted a parking lot that had a bunch of bmw its where once tesla ruled the roost. I was not even talking about how you doin attracted they might be and not talk about teslas dominance. The same man that took a picture of the bmw showed me a picture of the teslas. Right after the street. Com, this picture was taken with silly text saying this was a scene outside the coffee store shortly after 7 00 a. M. Today, all the teslas are gone. The new fashion is the bmwi 3, weighs 2,000 points less than tesla and costs half. I quote, so april 2014. The man who shocked the world with the early endorsement of teslas potential is now saying this picture is the canary in the coal mine because bmw i3 is easy to use on short trips and gives you another 72 miles with a chance to charge it again. It may take up to a year for the rest of the world to realize what just happened. So be it. Bmw i3 is the new fashion of Silicon Valley and will become clear. And the problem derailed my twitter feed after follower after follower denied bmw i3 could ever replace the tesla saying youre laughable. When i pointed out what mattered that tesla might have competition from a well established player and met with further cat calls that i didnt understand eli musk and what he wants to accomplish and just beginning his conquest and who would be caught dead in a bmw i3s. Heres my answer. I wouldnt be caught dead in one. I loved driving the tesla. I saw one coming out of the supermarket, sleek, all black. Second, economy plugin is a value especially for a short haul car and bmw has a lot of money and firepower and will get better if not worse designing these cars. Tesla, like it or not there is another alternative player that could cut into sales, maybe not. But there for all to see. I backed tesla for ages, to be fair, i was right, tesla did next to nothing the first two years as a Public Company but when it took off i was all in. Now, call me worried. Im not worried about the bmw chapters. What scares me is people are worshipping tesla stock. Not your children. Never let it get to the point youre dismissing anything largely negative including a parking lot full of competition observed by a very smart and very early tesla backer. Stick with cramer. I make a lot of purchases for my business. And i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. Like 50,000 bonus points when i spent 5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account.

This is a ver the following is a cnbc prime original. Sometimes a revolution can begin suddenly, without notice. This one begins on a january afternoon in 2009, when a man named janis krums boards the ferry for his commute home from manhattan. That day was like any other day. Very cold day. They set out for the short ride across the hudson river, same as always. Then comes the announcement. Whats the first indication to you that this trip is gonna be unusual . The captain going on the speaker, saying theres a plane in the hudson. Just moments earlier, a commercial jet faced catastrophic engine failure
