Was it the fed with so many voices calling for rate hikes . Was it the consumer or the earnings for some companies or the fact that oil seems to be unable to break . Every day we try to figure out what is ailing this market. This week i looked up the fabled july 15, 1979 crisis of confidence speech to see what jimmy carter said during a period where america was suffering from a collective malaise. And i quote, for the first time in our history in the history of our country, a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years, carter told the nation. Again, quote, it is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will, end quote. Of course at the time we were suffering from gas lines caused by an opec embargo, and from wild inflation caused in part by a weaker dollar that eroded our savings. Now the price of oil is on tenter hooks after being cut in half and its the dollars strength thats hurting earnings. Theres some kind of aversion to owning stocks which i think is part of a genuine belief that the future will be worse than the past for many americans. Carter talked about a poisoned political environment but the late 70s must seem like the halcyon days compared to this partisan rancor of today. That may have been a genuine era of good feeling in retrospect, but people rebelled against carters ma lace speech and ended up voting a man who talked more positive, ronald reagan, and it ushered the great bull market. The bull market has been running ever since interrupted by the crash of 87 and the horrendous Great Recession selloff. Im not making any kind of statement about the election in november, but i do think the rancorous nature of the debate is a tweet by a noncandidate, do you really want to own the drug stocks . Consider the value of vrx which seems like it had fallen off the radar screen is once again trading back down at 21, not too far from its 52 week low. Who wants to be sitting on stocks with exposure to International Trade . We had a very smart guy on friday, a fellow by the name of john cassimus, the former ceo of zoes kitchen, who was helping us figure out what ails the group. His answer is quite telling. Im going to quote again. Honestly for me, the election. I think is its having a big impact. I think people are really scared right now. They dont know whats going on, end quote, but that political situation only scratches the surface of whats awry here. Almost every day we get national you numbers that are weak or showing no growth. There have been multiple divisions down of the u. Gross domestic product. Yet the drum beat of people calling for rate hikes continues apace. Ive been through many rate hike cycles. While im never crazy about fighting the fed, historically they only raise Interest Rates when the economy is getting hotter, not weaker, so its throwing us all off. Thats why the endless prepping for this hike seemingly inevitable, december rate hike actually seems almost fansiful. What universe is these People Living in . The economy is already slowing. There are other reasons the fear can only be described as fear itself. There was a remarkable Conference Call last week from delta airlines. In addition to management s, the was a direct mention of terrorism really hurting international travel. Its kind of just put out there as, like, terrorism. Between the strong dollar and the terrorism, the airlines cant carry their own weight. Lets face it. Theres Something Else at work in many sec torz. Too Many Companies. Zoes kitchens founder told us, quote, theres a lot of competition. Not all of these restaurants can survive because theyre simply rnlt enough people going out to eat. Have you noticed the action at mcdonalds lately . Its been shelled beyond all recognition in just a too months time. Not very encouraging. Maybe not enough people going out to eat. If this competition problem were confined solely to the restaurant space, that would be one thing. But the logic of too many competitors applies to a host of different industries. Take retail. Here weve got Dollar Stores going against discounters, going against club stores, direct to consumer companies, including amazon. We know that we have way too many doors, way too many retailers in those malls, but they dont seem to shake out. They hang on. The number of chains has barely decreased. In the old days, we would have scene outfits like sears and kmart go under a long time ago. Not now, weve got a motivated owner who refuses to quit. Do you really need target and coals, and jcpenneys and all the stores that tend to sell the same stuff, stuff you get at amazon . I dont think so. There are even too many tech companies. Weve had a scattering of mergers. For the most part, though, there are so Many Companies fighting against each other for business in these industries, you got to be worried about earnings all the time. Here we are, earnings season. Sometimes i feel like thats part of the problem with the banks, and im going to have more on this later. But in the old days, every time they seemed to run out of room to grow, theyd just buy some other bank. Cut expenses. But now the banks are so big they arent allowed to make any more acquisitions. Theyve lost that spur, and in its place are myriad regulations that cut into the bottom line. Hey, not democrat or republican. Just telling it like it is. In the end, though, when you consider how many reasons there are why the market should get hammered, you have to wonder why the heck arent we down more . I think were doing a decent job of hanging in because there are some stocks that remain well, lets just say stocks themselves, the class, are the best game in town given that Interest Rates are so low. Plus lightning can strike as it did tonight with an amazing quarter from netflix, which grew at a much faster pace than the company thought it would, adding 3. 2 million members internationally versus a 2 million member forecast. Content moved the needle at netflix. Still, you got outfits like ibm which didnt grow revenues the way wall street thought and didnt have the big grow margins and the stock is being helded after hours. Rather than viewing stocks as a bountiful option against bonds, for many, the stock market has become the lesser of two evils versus bongds. The risk seems too high versus the risk of so many stocks i follow. There seems to be only one cure for them, which is lower prices. When we arrive at a lower level for many stocks, we can be more enthused. For now, though, it feels like theres a good enough reason to buy a stock as there is to sell it. That changes when either the fundamentals improve, like with the netflix, or the price gets too cheap to ignore. So heres the bottom line. I think we have to wait for more certainty, more clarity, and less risk before we start buying into this weakness because to me, it means that all of those positives are made more definitive really only by lower prices. Bob in my home state of new jersey, bob. Caller thank you for taking my call, jim. Of course. Caller two questions. Okay. Caller whats going on with jcpenney . Should i buy, hold or sell . Also is this a foreshadower the fate of american malls . It appears to me as many people tire walking as shopping . I got to tell you, jcpenney, i do like jcpenney. Ive liked it because i think marvin el i son is doing quite well. There was a note last week saying he didnt think they were going to make the quarter, and thats in part because basmacy isnt going to make the quarter. Its a very tough time for these big boch retailers. Just incredible how they go in and out of favor. Joyce in new york, joyce. Caller hi, jim, thank you for taking my call. Since you have mentioned that Financial Institutions should benefit from an Interest Rate hike, im wondering if this will include paypal. Not really. Paypal doesnt have that exposure. Paypal does report this week. Its a case we want to see event mu. Visa down a couple bucks. Ive seen the internal memo. It is family reasons. Visa might be interesting. My Charitable Trust owns it if it can break down, 78, 79. John in new york, john. Caller hi, jimmy. Beautiful day. Beautiful day, but the eagles lost yesterday, so its partly cloudy for me. Caller oh, geez. So anyhoo, im looking at rh for long term because youve given me a lot of good ones throughout the years. You guys are doing a great job. Wel i am so glad you mentioned long term. The stock spiked up. Its now back under 30. I dont think the quarter is going to be anything to write home about, but i do think the longer term direction is definitely clear, and i think youre going to be able to get that at a very good price. I say buy some here and see if it goes back to wherein siders bought it, which would be 25, 26. Then i got to tell you, i think you would be getting a very good longterm bargain. Gary friedman did not put that money to work idly. From the fed to the election to the price of oil, it seems like the only thing we can be certain of in this market is we dont know whats going to happen next. Until we get a little more clarity, hold off from being aggressive. On mad money, im giving my take on the company thats recently been anointed the new best ipo of 2016. Ill reveal it just ahead.

How do we explain the stunning action in knew tannics, youve asked about it many times. 9 intersurprise software play came public with a bang, a little less than three weeks ago. Right out of the gate they became the best performing ipo of 2016. The stock came public at 16 and spiked up to 37 at the close, giving a monster 131 gain in a single session. People say how can you make money in stocks . Then the next trading day there was so much enthusiasm for this thing, it rocked into the 44. The darn stock was on fire. But things turned very quickly. In the last two weeks, knew tan ix has been hammered on no real news. Investors fell in love with this company virtually overnight, and now it seems like theyve fallen out of favor just as quickly. How do we our heads around the initial enthusiasm and then the subsequent profit taking. There are a lot of reasons investors went crazy. For starters the company has an interesti interesting niche. Knew tan ix has a next generation cloudbased platform that converges all of businesses server management, storage, and virtualization needs into a single package. They call it hyperconverged system, and it lets their clients run their servers more efficiently and more cheaply. According to a study commissioned by nutanix, customers can employ their technology in 80 last time. So without getting too deep into the Information Technology weeds here, they do have an impressive and, yes, disruptive product. The company has got some impressive customers across different end markets. Toyota, kellogg, nordstrom. Best buy, nintendo, and, yes, the u. S. Department of defense among others. Its real. Beyond the fact that nutanix has a compelling concept, the numbers are down right incredible, another key ingredient in the smoking hot ipo. Investors willing to pay hand over fist for this one. Its recent quarter, nutanix posted 88 Revenue Growth. That was actually an acceleration from their 77 growth in the previous quarter. 80 growth in the one before that. Their billings were even better. Get this. They grew by 118 in the latest quarter. That is a major pickup from even the 94 increase in the previous quarter. I dont know of anybody doing 80 , 70 . Granted nutanix is still an early stage tech play, but they have a healthy balance sheet. But the main reason nutanix is such an explosive ipo . Listen. This is a really important focus. This is what i call a sliver deal. Thats my own term. Its called a sliver deal. Lately weve seen a bunch of initial Public Offerings where companies became public by selling a tiny sliver of the amount of stock there is. That tends to cause an enormous spike right out of the gate buzz theres not enough supply to sat the buyers. Its a proven method for making your stock price soar in its public debut. Its the way to create a hot deal. In the case of nutanix, the company sold 14. 87 million class a shares as part of this ipo. Thats now the float. The shares it can trade freely on the open market. As weve seen with these past sliver deals, their actual float is tiny compared to its total share count, which is what matters ultimately. The company has another 122. 4 million shares of class b stock. After that, nutanix can do a secondary offering, that allows investors to start kellisellingr class b stocks. No wonder the stock soared. They didnt give investors enough supply to meet the demand. So institutions that got stock on the deal were then willing to pay up for it in the aftermarket, okay . Because they had no essential low initial cost basis because of that stock they got from the actual ipo. Their average is so much better than the stock price is currently trading it that its worth it to go pay up, but that period is now over. I have told you many times i do not like sliver deals. I hate em because theyre setting you up for failure ultimately. Once the lockup expires, nutanix is going to do a secondary, and the size of that float will explode. When that happens, the supply of stock will suddenly outstrip the demand for it, and the share price will likely get clobbered. How do i know . Weve seen this story play out again and again. Wall street seems to be getting wise to this whole sliver del scenario, which is one of the reasons i think it tumbled down in the past two weeks despite there being no real news about the company itself. The shareholders ultimately see the writing on the wall. They want to take some profits. Now, theres a reason people suddenly soured on these sliver deals. In recent weeks, two of the best performing ipos of 2016, twilio and Acacia Communications have been put through the meat grinder, precisely because they both announced huge secondary offerings so that their preipo investors could do some selling. Twilio and acacia were both sliver deals. Twilio came public in june. A week and a half ago, twilio announced a 400 million secondary offering. Since then, well, youve seen it. The stock has been completely eviscerated. Its down more than 25 . The company is trerrific. We had them on. The same thing has happened with a acac acacia. This was another classic sliver deal. Less than two weeks ago, acacia was trading at 113, its rally fueled in part by the companys very small float and a lot of short sellers panicking. Then on october 6th, acacia announced a followon offering, the same size as the ipo, and the stock tanked, falling down to 92 bucks. Thats 8 bucks below where they ultimately priced that secondary. Against the backdrop of acacia and twilio getting beaten to a pulp, you can understand why nutanix has too because sooner or later nutanix is going to hit you with a secondary. Every few years well have a wave of these ipos that keep the float small. Investors will get burned enough that they learn to avoid them later on. Of course they want the hot deal when it first happens. Then people forget. Investment bankers go back to their old tricks. I need you to remember because Companies Like acacia, twilio and nutanix arent the most egregious k egregious exactlies. Skin ga and group on two of the worst ipos ever. These companies i mentioned are nowhere near as bad as those two, but after their secondary offerings a few months later, both stocks were obliterated and never really recovered. Group on and ginza are not to be compared with twilio and acacia. Its not just low Quality Companies that do sliver deals. Shake shack, very well run, terrific concept. When they came public in january 2015, they only sold 5 million shares, another 30. 50 million shares restricted sitting on the sidelines. Investors starting worrying about what would happen when these restricted shares started hitting the markts. Sure enough, shake shack did a secondary in august of 2015. It was at 60 bucks. The stock is now trading at 32. Im not saying these stocks can never recover. However its clear youre in a world of hurt if you overstay your welcome in one of these sliver stories. Heres the bottom line. Nutanix came public with a bang, but thanks to recent selloffs and sliver deals, investors are starting to think about ringing the register on this one. Despite the fact that nutanix has some incredible growth, past experience says the stock wont find its footing ultimately until we get some of those big blocks of stock to flatten up the float. Dont be dismayed by the weakness, though. Theres just well, lets just say thats how repulsive sliver deals ultimately work. Much more mad money ahead. Once in the realm of teenage boys and male college students, video games have become entertainment for the masses, including me. With mobile gaming revenue expected to grow over 20 in 2016, ill tell you if its time to Start Playing the space. Then did you know every female secretary of state in United States history is a former girl scout . Ill talk to the ceo to find out how its developed such a following. And, surprise, the banks are doing better. Ill explain what the markets missing. So stick with cramer. Some things are simply impossible to ignore. The strikinglydesigned lexus nx turbo and hybrid. Get up to 5,000 customer cash on select 2016 models. See your lexus dealer. People are really worried about the company, when they think it might be slowing, which you know i think is the case, i like to circle the wagons around the kind of powerful longterm themes, not tomorrow, that will keep working regardless of what happens to the big picture, the Economic Data or the federal reserve. Right now few themes are hotter, more sizzling, than video games. If youre looking for a strong sector, look no further than gaming. Weve heard from restaurants and retailers that its getting harder to entice consumers into their stores. These days people want to stay home where they can watch tv, fiddle around with social media, watch netflix, or play, yes, video games. Some people believe that gaming is only for kids or middle aged men who still live with their parents, but the numbers say otherwise. According to the Entertainment Software association, 63 of u. S. Households are home to at least one person who plays video games regularly. And in fact the average gamer is 35 years old. We got a whole generation of people who grew up with nintendo. Those people now have jobs and disposable income, which is how consumers spent 23. 5s about on gaming hardware, software and accessories last year, now that play station 4 and the xbox 1 have been on the market for a few years, developers have started releasing high quality content, and thats without going into the rising popularity of Virtual Reality and augumentd reality. The truth is if you want to invest in video game space, its a highquality problem. You know why . There are so many different terrific ways to play it. You buy the Technology Companies that make hardware components, how about the retailers . Why dont we start with the technology plays tabbecomes whet comes to the component makers, theres one stock thats hard to ignore. Im talking about nvidia, a stock with a truly incredible record that we have loved in cramerica forever. Its the second best performer in the s p 500. They make the best graphics processors for computers, the kind of thing you need for souped up gaming pc, but their chips also help power some of the hottest tech trends in the business. All the stuff we learned about in San Francisco. The stock has been rockets higher because nvidia has got what wall street craves, accelerating Revenue Growth. An incredible increase from 13. 4 in the previous quarter. Just 6. 5 in the one before that. Meanwhile, nvidias Gross Margins wharks it makes after the cost of goods sold has been steadily rising for years, expanding by 280 basis points in the latest quarter. When you can buy an accelerated Revenue Growth with fatter Gross Margins, you get an earnings per share explosion. Hence the magnificent rally in nvidia. There is one small problem. The stock has now run so much its fairly expensive. It trains at 36 times the companys next years earnings. However, nvidia is a secular growth stock, which means you need to look at the out years and get a real sense of the valuation. You got to authentic a little more than just the near term. So my view . Betting against nvidia is a fools game. I prefer to buy it in a weakness. The last couple weeks, the stock has come down about 6 from its highs. If it comes down a little bit more, i would pounce. I would never get in the way of anyone buying it right here, though. If nvidia doesnt appeal, theres another Semiconductor Stock with a huge gaming exposure that so many of you are interested in. Im talking about advanced microdevices, amd. In addition to making microprocessors for pcs, amd also makes graphics chips including the ones found in the ps 4 and the xbox 1. Amd has rallied even more than nvidia lately, up 132 yeartodate. After years of underperformance, the company is finally showing signs of life. However the earnings arent there yet. Amd is not expected to break even until next year, but they have done this refinancing. My view, i prefer nvidia. But i totally understand the appeal here. I think theres enough room for both of them. Next up, oh, boy, the Game Developers, and i love these stocks. Im talking about act vision blizzard, Electronic Arts, take 2 interactive. Which one . Just like with nvidia, these makers have been outperforming the Broader Market for ages. You know weve been behind this group all the way. Which of the developers should you be eye something let me break down their titles. Activision blizzard is the Company Behind call of duty. The next big release is call of duty infinite war fair. At Electronic Arts the big money makers, ea sports, fifa, and ea sports nhl and their next big release is battlefield one. This is a world war i shooter. Its coming out later this month. Then theres long time cramer fave take 2 interactive, which we have urged you as the way to play this incredible trend. The maker of grand theft auto. Max pane, nba 2 k, and they just released mafia 3 last month, which is a very cool but very dark game, mafia 3. Now, the financials of these Game Developers can be kind of lumpy because the numbers are very much tied to the success or failure of individual games, kind of like big movie studios. Activision blizzard saw its Revenue Growth shrink slowly for three years straight, but sales up for 2016 thanks to call of duty. Electronic arts grew at a 23 clip in 2015. The latest quarter, they returned to growth, up 5. 7 . These are episodic. Take 2 is the lumpiest of them all. Their sales nearly doubled in 2014. Then they were down in 2015. Then in 2016, they put up 30 Revenue Growth. Their latest quarter, sales increased by 13 , which brings me back to the question. How do you play the game developer space . It kind of depends on you. If you want to play it safe, Electronic Arts, theyve got the smoothest results since they released new madden and fifa and nhl games annually. It trades at just 20 times eerngsz. Activision blizzard gives you more upside as a growth play, but it also has more risk thanks to the companys acquisition of king digital. Activision is not that pricey either. Trades at 20 times earnings. If the new call of duty is a hit, you can expect that stock to roar higher still. Very well run company. But for those of you looking for a higher risk, higher reward scenario, i say go with take 2 interactive. Take 2 is the most expensive of the game makers. Trades at 36 times eerngsz. When you look out to fif, its got tremendous growth prospects. Plus the analysts are expecting the next grand theft auto to come out in early 2018. This company will not reveal a title until it is totally done, so dont bank on any specific quarter. Still take 2 is not a onetrick pony anymore. My one concern, totally coincidental with its analysis, stock popped more than 5 today because of rumors. You want to buy a stock like this in a weakness, not strength. I think todays twopoint gain may not hold for long. I urge you to avoid the video game retailers. Here were talking about game stop. Disappointed badly when it reported its most recent numbers. The stock sells for just six times earnings. Without the clarity on what the future looks like, its possible it could be a value trap. For now its in the penalty box. Just so you know, its forever rumored as a takeover target. We dont recommend stocks as takeovers if we dont like the fundamentals on mad money. The video game space is on fire. Youve got a ton of ways to play it. I like nvidia and amd. Electronic arts, take it interactive for games. The key takeaway though, this is not a niche business. Its a mass entertainment business, and its growing, not shrinking despite what older people, particularly on wall street, might think. Jerry in florida, jerry. Caller hey, jim. How are you . I am good, jerry. How about you . Caller thanks for taking my call. I feel great. Look, ive got a stock here, gopro. I know you havent been too happy with it in the past. No. Caller but its a good company that has a good product, maybe a little pricey. They have no debt, and ive been buying it over the past six or seven months as its been sliding down to where it is right now. I notice it went up about 3 today. Right. Caller and most analysts are from strong sell to strong buy with an average somewhere in the hold category. Right. Caller so, jim, what do you think . I was at the eagles redskins game, and there was guys walking by with the 16 gopros. So interesting, isnt that a great situation . And i said, you know what, it depends too much on these iterations, whether they have a big hit for the holiday season. And i got to tell you, jerry, thats too high risk for me. I like a continuum, and gopro has not demonstrated a continuum. Is it a risky stock . Yes. Can it be a good spec . Perhaps if they blow it out with this next iteration, but that has not been the case as of late. You want to get in on the booming video game makers . Game on. Nvidia and amd have lots of lives of ahead of them. Decide how much risk you want and go to the next level with Electronic Arts or take 2 interactive. Weve got so much more mad matd. Do you know that the girl scouts of the usa have a cookie empire. Im talking to the ceo who is so fabulous about building the booming business. Then what the heck do the banks have to do to get their stocks higher . Ill tell you why it has less to do with them and more to do with washington. And all your calls rapid fire in tonights edition of the lightning round. So stick with cramer. Mary buys a little lamb. One of millions of orders on this companys servers. Accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. But with Cyber Threats on the rise, marys data could be under attack. With the help of at t, and security that senses and mitigates Cyber Threats, their Critical Data is safer than ever. Giving them the agility to be open secure. Because no one knows like at t. When i was out in San Francisco earlier this month, i got to see how technology is changing every facet of society, not even just business. So let me give you a great example of why im such a big believer in progress. Girl scout cookies. It used to be you could only get thin mitnts when the girl scout were in your area doing a cookie drive. These days, the organization which has been helping young girls empower themselves for more than a century, allows you to buy their cookies online. Theyve got a whole web platform. A couple weeks ago i got a chance to speak with sylvia acevedo. Take a look. 1. 9 million strong representatives of a Great Organization but also a business. Absolutely. The girl scouts, we have a big business in our cookie business. Its an 800 million business, and it stays locally in the communities where the girls sell the cookies. So i think that people question now who joins girl scouts . How about this alumni because this Alumni Network is pretty powerful. We have an amazing Alumni Network. Half of the u. S. Representatives in congress were girl scouts. 80 of the female senators, they were girl scouts. All three secretaries of states that were female, theyre girl scouts. And one of the president ial candidates is also a girl scout. You know, i think we can get which one. If you can talk about the whole nature of teaching young girls about business because i know that mark benioff, you were the First Organization that he funded, and i know that hes pro business and pro women understanding business. Absolutely. You know, girl scouts is the largest nonprofit on the sales force. Were kind of the leading edge, which fits into our leadership model absolutely. I think mark also saw the synergy. He saw our outcomes, the outcomes in leadership, but also in the stem pipeline. Virtual virtually eve virtually every female in space was a girl scout. We really funded and created that leadership and technology pipeline, and were continuing to do that to this day. I was astonished to learn youre a rocket scientist. I was a rocket scientist. It real life. In real life. I worked on the Voyager Mission at jpl in pasadena, california. So we had the voyager fly by jupiter and its moons. So youre a good person to digitize the girl scouts. Talk to me about ecommerce. Talk to me about where youre going in terms of gueetting you women to understand the interaction between the Digital World and cookies. We have this 800 million cookie businesses and were moving part of it online. So that whole digital. But its not just an order. Its a business plan. A girl gets to create how do i create my plan . How do i market it . How many units do i need to sell to meet my objectives . How do i reach out to my customers . How do i make sure theyre thanked . Thats an entire process that we not only as selling cookies, but its giving that girl leadership skills and business skills along the way. You know, so many of the Women Entrepreneurs in america today, they were girl scouts as well. Now, we all try to stay relevant in an era of sustainability and an era of natural and organic. I buy girl scout cookies. Both my girls were girl scout representatives. But frankly theyre really tasty and theyre a treat, but theyre not necessarily good for me. So i know that cant help sales in a day when people prosecute so interested in quinoa and rice cakes. You know what, youre right. Cookies are fantastic. Theyre also a treat, but theyre an enduring treat. People tell us, dont you dare change. But, yes, we are going to healthier ones. We have gluten free cookies as well, so we are looking at other types of products to sell along the healthier lines. People do want their thin mints. Talk to me a little bit about ecommerce which i know you just started. I know its small, but is the goal to get it so that girls are very good at, say, programming, at coding, because people have to learn how to code, and they cant all go to stanford comp sci. That is something so great about girl scouts. We are in every zip code. Part of our program is very technology folked. We have girls learning how to code. Theyre creating mechanical arms. Mechanical arms . Yes, to help people with prosthetics. Last night i was with 70 girl scouts in los gatos. They were making robots. They were creating lava volcanos. You know, girl scouts from the daisies to the seniors and ambassadors, its part of our culture to do technology, to learn how to code, to create fashionable wearables, creating robots. Frankly, im astonished. Why dont i associate these things more with girl scouts . Why do i just think about cookies . I know. Thats why were on tv today. We have to do a better job of telling our story. I think youll be the one to do it. Ive got your jet propulsion lab. My girl scout ceo patch. I love it. Thats sylvia acevedo. Shes the ceo of girl scouts. This is a 1. 9 millionemployee business except for not employees. Stay with cramer. Whats Critical Thinking like . A basketball costs 14.

That think has come down too much. Thats kind of attractive to me. But you know whats more attractive . If visa sells off a couple bucks. I think charlie sharp has got some personal things to attend to at home in new york, and that stock is coming down and that may be a better opportunity. Lets go to riad in new jersey. Caller thank you for taking my call. Of course. Jim, pbr, but three weeks ago, so far im down 20 . Its made a big come back because the real has gotten really strong.

Candid i was disappointed. I thought opp diva had more opportunities to do it. I said that to people who belonged to actionalertsplus. Com. I do not expect anything good near term from bristolmyers. That was just a disappointing study. Lets go to jim in illinois, please. Jim. Caller jimmy. Yoyo. Caller im interested in knowing about cit group. We just had all these great why dont you focus on citi . My Charitable Trust owns citi. That was the best quarter so far. I would be in citi. Jpmorgan was a great quarter. Dont get me wrong, but theyve done nothing but great quarters. Lets go to cory in massachusetts. Cory. Caller thanks for having me on, man. This whole political environment is crazy. I want to just tell you i think both candidates suck. But thats just my opinion. But, hey, you know i know biotech has been very speculative. I know the whole political environment, what do you think of takeover rumors. He has done a fantastic job, and i like gradious. I cant recommend everybody keeps say its going to get a bid. I think its going to have good test results and therefore it is okay to go. But this whole bid thing is getting out of control. Bob in massachusetts, bob. Caller hey, jim. Greetings from boston. Nice. Whats up . Caller the stock im looking at is chesapeake energy. And what i tried to do is look where chesapeake has got good natural gas exposure, but my problem is this. I dont like the balance sheet. Because of that, theres so many others that are better. I think you should stick with schlumberger. I think schlumberger is the way to play the whole business. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round. Frns the lightning round is sponsored by td ameritrade. Roug, warren, to help me deal. Isnt that right warren .

Oh, so what about my motivational meerkat . Inapp chat on thinkorswim. Only at td ameritrade. What do these banks have to do in order to get their stocks higher . I got to tell you when i look at these quarterly reports, the numbers practically make me drool. For example, bank of america reported today, 1. 8 billion in Consumer Banking alone while expenses declined. Investment banking fees increased 13 . Sales and trading jumped 14 . Banks saw a decline in chargeoffs, and its tangible book value is 17. 14. What would be it worth if you closed the company and it was everything you could ask for from a bank, better even than i thought when i pulled up with Ceo Brian Moynihan in San Francisco. The result, after a initial surge higher, ultimate closed up. In short, bank of americas stock did next to nothing on this monster quarter. This lack of action is astounding when you consider that with the countrys largest deposit base, bank of america is the biggest winner if the fed does raise Interest Rates at their december meeting like everyone is expecting. Remember when you open a Checking Account at bank of america, they dont pay you anything and they can invest that money virtually risk free for a terrific return. Literally two quarters, we were shaken by the amount of exposure these companies had to the oil patch, with crude in the mid20s. Now that crude is trading just around 50 bucks, it looks like all that bad news is behind them, and the worries have shrunk pretty dramatically. This excellent quarter comes on top of some remarkably Strong Performance last week from citigroup and jpmorgan. But the market was similarly unimpressed by their numbers. The gains are so meager, its hard to make any case that theyre overvalued even as jpmorgans stock did catch a down grade. Morgans stock is up less than 2 yeartodate. Got a rock of gibraltar balance sheet. How can that be considered overvalued . Whats really going on here . I think some of it is just ennui. There havent been a lot of stocks going up on better earnings. Some of it is a belief that every time you get excited about these bank stocks, they break your heart. I also think that its an Election Year and the banks remain incredibly unpopular in washington. The reality is theres probably going to be more regulation, not less, in the heels of the scandal at wells fargo. I believe the shenanigans there overshadow what the banks can earn and make them public enemy number one after disappearing from the radar screen of political hate for a little bit. Yep, you have to give some of that blame for the lack of performance to the rhetoric that makes it so your view is tainted simply for talking to banks. As i said last week, the groups cheap, but that hasnt been enough. Fortunately my Charitable Trust owns citi, but unfortunately it owns wells which i couldnt sell. Suffice to say, though, i wouldnt sell either bank stock down here. If we get that december rate hike, this whole group gets some terrific gains. But right now, no good deed goes unpunished, and the financial sector, it cant rally to save its life. Stick with cramer. Isnt Major Medical enough .
