And i stand here at earnings season, talking about whether companys got better earnings, by for a lot of companies, the issue is survival. And their survival might very well depend on how well theyre able to integrate technology. And i know boy, its a little cheesy. Prices drop as you shop but you can beat amazons prices. You can, something no one else has been able to do. That means you can be a potent arrow in walmarts quiver. It just has to be there. And the ceo is determined to think about the tremendous challenges. Walmarts capable of offering tremendous low prices. Theyre buying so low they can roll any supplier. Think about all the Sales Associates and managers plus the leases and construction, which makes it hard to compete against a purely webbased retailer like amazon. Ever since he told shareholders quote, must stop talking about digital and physical retail as if theyre two different things. His order online and pick up strategy is a good one, but its not unique. He needs something special, not only to pull away from walmarts competitors but to have a pincer move against amazon. Buying jet. Com might be the answer. For almost anyone else, paying looks as awful as this one does, could cost you your job, but he has the walton familys backing. Not to mention the Balance Sheet and directive to win. And he could make jet. Com a winner. Amazon is a juggernaut. It cannot be stopped, at lee not using conventional bricks and mortar weapons. It doesnt hurt m stock, the stock of walmart is up 19. 5 this year. Mcmillen gets it. He knows walmarts longterm survival is literally at stake. I wonder when we hear from nordstrom, macys and jc penney next week, about amazon. The only ones that can give bargains and convenience, which means the Dollar Stores and tjx. Amazon isnt the only one who knows this. Walmart isnt the only one. You know who else has figured it out . Apple. Apple. When ceo tim cook talks about having a revenue stream as big as a fortune 500 company, they could have 30 billion in a ni it could make it higher for apple stock. Right now their earnings are seen as episodic. They had a down quarter. If the iphone 7s good, maybe apple stock can go higher. But if it fails to impress, it might go to the purgatory. But there are plenty of analysts who dismiss this out of hand. It and that they are a hardware story running out of gas. This is that best days are behind them thesis that you hear so often. Thats why it sells eight times earnings making it cheaper than virtually anything, save the airlines. Price wars all over the map. Destination, and now the zika virus. But yesterday tim cook tweeted out july was a record breaker for the app store. Now those of us on the blue team know that this, know that this increase could be caused by the it makes it clear that that huge surge isnt just about the mad hunt for charmander. Its dependent on the internet, not just hardware. It would not have had this ra or take clorox, which has some of the fastest organic growth. Part of that is from innovation as the Company Keeps coming up with things that the customers love. The ceo told us thats why hes expanded his Digital Marketing and he said he expects to take it even higher. He has to spend this way. He knows his competitors like proctor and gamble and unilever and colgate are far bigger. He has his ads on google or facebook. Many customers spend an hour on facebook alone a day. I think people are actually worried that the companys officer might leave and go work for Hillary Clinton in the white house if she wins. Its natural that she could be appointed treasury secretary. The internet battles rage everywhere. Go check how much time 21st century fox and timewarner spent talking about their darn stakes in hulu. Hulu allows them to say they get it. They get the future. Investors pay more for companies that dont need a weather man to tell which way the wind blows. Well, consider the case of square, sq. I heard a lot of people say this stock surged because the Company Reported better than expected revenues. No, i think thats a mistake, frankly. I believe square is going higher because they explained it in a way that we no longer need to be concerned that square is a wayward bank masquerading as a tech company. I know its being prudent in its use of capital and not taking on too much risk. As long as they get paid back from the Cash Register every day. That idea and not some sort of lending club is what drove the stock higher. Now the internet cant save realized that that doesnt even matter. Cohort is a shrinking thing. And theyre feeding the beast with records amount of money because they dont want to get eaten. Mike in indiana. C the years. I thought the governor. Caller i bought ulta salon, and im up over 50 . Should i sell part of it . And if so, what percentage . Ive had to weigh on this issue a lot. One of the things i dont want to do is incur taxes for you, but i would sell 25 and play and it is a very volatile stock. Its one weve been behind for probably close to, i dont know, 200 points. Wow. Its a jungle out there. And for companies to survive, they need to feed the beast, and that is the internet. They are satisfying the hunger of their everexpanding influence. You might think its hard to find large stocks that look cheaper. Think again. There are huge catalysts in the sale rack. Ill reveal it just ahead. Then did you catch my interview with nikes phil knight last night . Hes sharing the secret about what kept the Company Going when it all seemed impossible.

Alright kiddos everybody off the backpack, we made it to the ottoman. I like to watch them clean, but theyll never get me on the mattress finally theres a disinfectant mist designed for sofas, mattresses and more. Introducing new lysol max cover. Its innovative cap has a 2x wider spray given the markets remarkable run lately, its not exactly easy to find large capitalization stocks that are cheap on an earnings basis, but whose trading i find absurdly inexpensive levels right now. Im talking about Johnson Controls. And thats jci for you home gamers. Ive been arguing that it should break itself up to unlock value, because the company had too many noncomplementary businesses under the same roof. And it made it difficult to understand. One of the ones i really pushed for. Why do i make the argument . They make heating, ventilation systems known as h vac. Theyve got a supplier of lead acid batteries for cars, trucks and utility vehicles as well as making rechargeable lithium batteries and an auto parts business where theyre the lead maker of seating for cars and trucks. So you have to believe i was pleasantly surprised when they announced they were planning to spin off its automotive seating component. In january we learned that the new business would be called adiag. But thats just the tip of the iceberg. Molinari gave us other news. They would be buying the rump of this was one of those tax inversion deals, because it is basically based in ireland. It would be subjected to the lower irish tax rate. So Johnson Controls is not one but two transformational catalysts in the works. Theyre coming up soon and theyre attractive. Seating makes a lot of sense. Granted, the companys seating business is actually the best in the industry. Johnson controls would rather spend its money on faster growing end markets. And could use any cash generated by the seating to buyback their extremely undervalued stock. While the seating spinout is terrific, its the merger with it will create immediate crossselling opportunities as they bundle together the various constructionrelated products. It should generate 500 million in operational synergies over the first three years. As they integrate tycos brands with their own they are making themselves a truly diversified industrial company. Kind of like on the same vein as a honeywell or united technologies. You know i love those companies so much. While the car seat spin off made a lot of sense, its going to leave it with the battery growth business. Which is why the tyco deal is so critical. It will turn it into the kind of company that analysts really has been on fire since february. They like the tyco merger, but even in the midst of a major transition, theyve been able to deliver stellar results. They had management raising their fouryear guidance substantially and giving a very bullish outlook for the next quarter. Plus fast forward to a couple weeks ago when Johnson Controls released its earning report. Even though wall street had Great Expectations the Company Still managed to impress thats a big rarity for this whole earnings period. They posted a solid bottom line. And they tightened their fouryear forecast, raising the row end of the range for earnings a lot more than they trend the high end of the range. Thats a new game they play. You have to figure out where the range is and how much the lower end goes up. When you break down results by division, its very clear that spinning off the automotive seating business will be a major boon. Its sales increase 33 year on year. And its battery business experienced a 3 gain. But the carrelated business experienced a 19 decline, thats the seating. It translated into a 42 increase in operating income. And if the battery operating is up 12 . Johnson control will be in excellent shape at the end of october. What really got people excited when management said the tyco deal should close earlier than expected. In less than 30 days, this merger will be a reality. And a company thats already doing very well will have a huge catalyst that let it is do better. The stock was at 33. 42 a few weeks ago. Youre getting the most recent where do we go from here . The beauty of Johnson Controls is that over the next few months you are about to get not one but two amazing catalysts that should cause wall street to stop a huge valuation on the stock. Much cheaper than diversified industrials like honeywell. Merger, it will merit a hire multiple. I think this is a good time to buy some Johnson Controls. The company has two major transformation catalysts coming in the next few months. And even if the government decides to block the deal at the last minute, Johnson Controls is cheap enough that its worth owning simply from the value of the auto parts spinoff coming. Even if it claims irish tax status in the fabulous old city of cork on the emerald isle. Jeff, whats up . Caller thanks for taking my call. And you and your staff are just amazing. They make us look good, they make me look good every day. Caller they sure do. Month. And they are proposing a one for three reverse stock split in october. I was wondering, whats that going to do to my investment, and should i add more . Oh, boy, okay. Jack moore, Research Director of my charitable trust, and i are desperate to try to buy this stock. We trying to buy it under 1025. Your split is going to make it so both pieces you get are more investable. You cant have a stock under five. Most importantly, i think the fundamentals are terrific. Maybe we should just pull the trigger and buy it for the trust and stop fooling around for 25 cents. The Johnson Controls tyco merger looks to be a winner. It has fantastic catalysts much more mad money ahead. Nike shoes appeared in the Olympic Games for the first time in 68.

Last night i got a chance to speak with phil knight, the visionary who create nike way off the ground. This is one of the best Business Books and autobiographies ive ever encountered. Last time i was in silicon valley, it was what everybody was reading. Our interview ran long, and we had to save the rest of it for today. Take a look. Mr. Knight, shoe dog reads like a novel. Its almost inconceivable that someone who has somewhat of a plan, but not a great plan comes up and really develops the, maybe one of the greatest companies that ever existed. How are you able to, at no point did i think youd succeed, to point. And you kept going, and you kept talking about the idea that maybe you should give up, and its for charlatans to say that you have to keep persevering. Why did you keep going despite every single reversal . Well, ive had a lot of people tell me we know how it ends, but we think hes not there were a lot of touch and go moments that i told about if the book. But we always knew that we could fail. We never thought we would. And everybody said just as you just did. Why did you keep at it . Well, first of all, ive been in business some 50some years. The most fun i ever had. But part of it was the characters described in the book. We were a band of brothers. We believed in the cause and any adversity thrown at us we would overcome. We loved each other. Are you nostalgic for the buttfaced days, the original crew . That is the most Unlikely Group running a Sports Apparel company ever. One of the fun things was johnson and talking about it, getting the facts as right as we could and dale hayes as well. I think you would have made a wonderful butt face. Thank you. I had to stop, i was at one point a pretty good runner. I had to stop pretee shirt. I took it off right before i ran. You talked about pre very lovingly. Oregons a major character in your book, isnt it . I think so. And its a major character in the companys culture. Why is that . Its a state. My daughter lives in oregon. So im conscious when i go. Its a different kind of place. It inspires people in a pioneer way that we thought of 150 years ago. I think thats true in anyplace. You go to knight, night. But theres nothing about Michael Jordan nothing about what made this company go to multibillion. Is that the next book . I dont know. When i got finished with this one, i said never again. But im weakening. So stay tuned. We were dazzled by it. We know who nike is. Going to succeed, but we clammer clam or for more. Its a lot of work. Ill tell you that. If the shoe dog were to start now, would the shoe dog be working at apple or facebook or alphabet instead of nike . Thats hard to say. It was the 60s, and, so when i started, i wanted to start the business, i told my 20yearold sister to go down to city hall and get a license. And we off and running. Now you have to get accountants and lawyers. Its an entirely different world today. So i really dont know how to answer that. Lets talk about entrepreneurship. The onerous nature of the government. They all exist now, but arent they harder now . The entrepreneurial spirit has really been squelched in a lot of places in this country. It is harder in many ways to start. The good news is that a lot of the struggles i had is because i couldnt get any money. And now you have Venture Capital firms all over everywhere that are willing to take a look at few good years of profitability under their belt. So in some ways its easier. There is a sort of a down trend, i think, in entrepreneurial spirit just for, i dont know why the reasons. But everything has a cycle. They tell you in statistics class, the sex life of a flea has a cycle. So im optimistic that the cycle will reverse itself in the future. I mentioned one of my daughters, i have phil knight on. She goes, oh, nike. And i said go read page 373 about the girl effect. Could we clear this up right now . The girl effect was a result of problems we had from outside criticism about the factories. And basically, we wanted to be good citizens in all the places that we operate. And to the extent that the factories could be improved, i think weve improved them but in that process, maria idle who is in charge of Corporate Responsibility came up with the idea of having the girl effect, which would be in the underdeveloped world investing in young women, their education and counseling. You could have a greater Economic Impact than almost anything you could do. So we started doing that. We started operating in close to a dozen with our charitable contributions in Something Like a dozen countries. Weve been operating there for seven or eight years, and the objective is to have them delay marriage to be able to get an education, to be able to get into business if they want, to be able to get into the things they want to do, and its having an impact, and its had so much interest from the outside world, that its had investments from a lot of different people. Its now broken out from nike having a very positive impact. Please talk about the evolution of money and sports. When you started, money wasnt that important. Its become, its almost the be all and end all, but is there still the prefontaine spirit out there . Oh, sure. Its all over the place. And its going to be all over rio. There will be a lot of stories of people that you never heard of that won a gold pedal. No drama like the drama on the athletic field. The last thing i wanted to talk to you about is most of the people i read their Business Books, and they have them written by someone else. Sir, you actually wrote this. Where did you learn to be such a good writer . Well, thank you. A compliment means a lot. But the book is really kind of my version of the product that says if you have enough typewriters and enough monkeys, you get all the works of shakespeare, but i had eight so there was a lot of collaboration in this thing. To get jim cramers compliment, thats what it took for me. It was a remarkable, remarkable book. Last thing, are there any young phil knights out there that you can please mention for us . Well, i dont know my name, but weve got them all over this campus. Weea our bacteria familys been on this cushion for generations. I like to watch them clean, but theyll never get me on the mattress faces. What do you do when a highquality medical device stock hits a wee bit of a speed bump. Think about the company that makes the Glucose Monitoring system for people wiyp way patients check their blood sugar levels. They give you a sensor to stick on your skin. And it transmits your blood sugar levels to a wireless receiver. Dexcom has been adamant, theyre not losing market share. Theres more than enough room for both. Given how many people still use the finger prick method. Ago, not to mention, it rallied 700 . The revenues came in higher than expected, which we guidance was in line with what wall street was looking for. Even though it rallied very nicely. There are lots of reasons to buy dexcom. Two weeks ago, when an fda pan many voted in favor of approving dexcoms model. It opens the door for medicare and medicaid to cover the product. Once you turn 65, the government wont pay for it. So this could be a very, very big deal. Thats why we need to check inen with kevin sayre, the ceo of i went on and on about the fda thing, even though its just a panel. It seems to be the biggest market out there. And if the Panel Recommendation gets approved it could be very big for you. It could be very big. This is the first medical device ever approved for making insulin dosing decisions, and this is an effort thats gone on for 24 months as weve worked very closely with the fda to get this there were three different subsets of things that at the voted for. They all went for you pretty big. They all did, 82, 91, 82. Do the benefits outweigh the risks. I dont think the quarter was as important as it was great. The quarter was great. The panel was amazing. I just want people to understand that right now there have been people using your device for years, and suddenly, the way the Health System is. When you make an insulin dosing decision youre supposed to confirm with a finger stick. But the reality of the practice is, patients dont. The fda was aware of this. The fdas comfortable with the performance of the device. Lets train people to make better decisions and take care of themselves. I would contend, you guys are very conservative. Its a better likelihood in terms of finding out this. Oh, its much better. One of the people on the panel likened it to flying an airplane without a dashboard. But you get a display that says you are going this direction. You get alarms, arrows, directions. People talked about the artificial pancreas that could enough to hand many both. Maybe medtronics is the Sleeping Giant thats woken up here. They are a giant. I dont think they have been asleep. Our product is the glucose monitor. I think the new system may be good, but were comfortable with connectivity. We have several pump partners. And we will have competitive offerings with a number of other companies. I think your policy about what to do for older generation should be talked about. Right now, with our older generation product . Yeah, the opportunity to upgrade. Oh, the opportunity to upgrade. Weve made some very good decisions with respect to the upgrading of our product. When we have a new technology, a patients only 90 days away from the new system, on top of that going to the phone and using possible mobile technology. Give the concept to people, because they dont pick you out of the phone book. Our company is one of the few companies where you are merging mobile platforms with Serious Health care. And with respect to mobile platforms and electronics and data analytics, theres nobody better than google. Were taking their strengths, make it more costeffective, help us analyze the data better, and we focus on those things we do very well in glucose sensors. They are very aggressive. Its been very fun. They push us very hard. I went up to mountain view. Are they big thinkers . Very big thinkers. If you could go over the way the system does work. The way the system works for us is we are covered by 98, 99 of medical plans. And they get their supplies in the system. There is paperwork, and it does take a little bit of time. But patients are usually covered. One of our strategic efforts has been to try to move this to a drugstore reimbursement and procurement effort. Why if i go to walgreens, why isnt it there . Its a thing of us giving up price and contractual relationships. Weve made history with the accuracy and performance of our system. Now were going to make history in commercial fronts too. So well get this right. I know you didnt bring it this time. I didnt bring one this time. Tell people the size of whats inserted. The sensor thats end your screen is the size of a cats eye lash. Its labeled to be worn on the not everybodys device is create the equally. No. Ours is the best. Thats president and ceo of dexcom, dxcm. Mad moneys back after the break.

Why does your tummy go grumbily, grumbily, grumbily . No more questions for you ooph, that milk in your cereal was messing with you, wasnt it . Yeah, happens to more people than you think. Try lactaid, its real milk, without that annoying lactose. Good, right . Mmm, yeah. I got your back. Lactaid. Its the milk that doesnt mess with you. You need a new rule. Try not to buy a stock that you think is in the middle of a short squeeze, because even if you like the underlying company, youll almost always be able to get a better price as long as youre patient. Expected. Wise guys figured out the stock had to soar on the news. Because 31 of the float of herbal life had been sold short. Thats an absurdly low amount that might trigger a short squeeze as those betting against the company may panic and cover. Herbal lifes numbers were better. Its now forecasting it will earn between 4. 50, and 4. 80. Consider that this Business Model gives them pretty good visibility. I bet the number will be closer to the highend of that range. The reason some expected the stock to roar and bought it up almost 2 has nothing whatsoever to do with that exercise with the earnings per share. Its that herbal lifes business didnt fall apart despite the required them to trade some of their practices. The changes make them a dead man walking. But last night they painted a different picture. Michael johnson said it would be good for business. I bet akman will use the strength to double down. Rather than cutting his losses and declaring a moral victory, buying the stock and washing walking away. People should ask, okay, what priced earnings do you pay for 4. 80 in a vacuum for a company thats hardly bristolmyers. If they can deliver, it would be pretty good growth, about 20 i struggle to figure out what the normalized earnings power is. That makes it hard to assign the stock a valuation. What do we do . Lets look at the biggest supplement company out there. Gnc. It sells for seven times earnings. If you value it like that, the stock deserves to be cut in half. So why dont we do this. Lets say herbal life deserves double the price of gnc because of its much faster growth rate. You get a 67 stock. Voila. Thats where the stock went out. So its not surprising after speaking up to 69 last night herbal life pulled back to close up just 50 cents. Yeah, 67 and change. Youre dealing with a stock that seems fairly valuable. The only reason to own it is you expect the short squeeze. But the only way to get a short you know what . I think both scenarios are quite unlikely. My view . I cant endorse this one until herbal life can demonstrate sustained earnings power, with the changes to its Business Model. Lets see if it does end up hurting the company, a short squeeze is almost never a good buying opportunity. Its the fundamentals. Example when you start to think otherwise. Stick with cramer. Polo marco. s . . Polo marco. polo scusa . Ma io sono marco polo, ma. Marco. playing marco polo with marco polo . Surprising. Ragazzini, io sono marco polo. S . , sono qui. Whats not surprising .
