tv Mad Money CNBC February 15, 2012 6:00pm-7:00pm EST
6:00 pm
meantime "mad money" starts right now. 5:00. >> i'm jim kramer and welcome to my world. >> they're going go out of business and he's nuts! they're nuts! they know nothing! >> there's a bull market somewhere. "mad money," you can't afford to miss it. >> hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money," welcome to cramerica. other people want to make friends and i'm just trying to save you some money. my job is not just to entertain, but to educate so call me 800-743-cnbc. you better sit yourself down for what i'm about to tell you. because i know it's going to come as a huge surprise. ready? >> okay. total shocker, stop trading! not everything is perfect in this market! may i remind you, though. it never is.
6:01 pm
so on a day when the averages were pummeled! the dow moves to 97 points. s&p sinking .54% and the nasdaq falling .55%! i think it's worth explaining the many and varied reasons why stocks can and do go down even in the most bullish of markets. >> come on, we've had such a tremendous run here that whenever we get hit with a down day, i know, i know what happens. wow! hold it. roll over, something must be terribly wrong, that's the percepti perception. the reality is quite different. there are always things going wrong. it's just on main days we've chosen to ignore them because larger themes have been prevailing. themes like a better employment market, things like a stronger industrial economy and a proven story in europe. that's it. tonight i want to do something that i typically dislike doing. i want to dwell in the negatives for a while. put you, for a moment into cramer fife movie "the hurt locker" not just because he's a
6:02 pm
huge "mad money" man, i kid you not and i would show you how you should choose to refute the bear arguments or accept that there are legitimate reasons to sell off for this moment. that way it's your choice to either try to avoid the sell or stay the course because you believe that these pullbacks are temporary and not malignant. >> first up, the transports. oh, my, the transports were completely crushed today. >> i watched these like a hawk because i'm old-fashioned. i believe the transports have given us underlying strength or weakness in the whole economy. when they were moving up as all of 2012 they act as a confirmation, the dow jones averages. when the transports get trashed as they were today, well, then on. >> all aboard! >> the house of pain! >> i fret because they might be signaling that a big underlying thesis that propped up this
6:03 pm
market the economy could be flagging. they are ground zero. so why do they tell you to sell the stocks even if the transports look to be rolling over. because the real weakness in the sector is coming from the rails like csx, norfolk southern, union pacific and the cheap cargo for the railroads is coal. the sudden, precipitous and lasting decline in the price of natural gas which i do think is bottoming albeit at a low level. is it the root of the whole transportation weakness as is the perception that president obama will be reelected and utilities live in fear of the obama anti-coal epa. therefore it makes good politicals and economic sense to switch from coal to natural gas if you're a utility and that's crushing the rails which is, in turn, pummeling the transport index. next negative. and we need to see improvement in the house, the a proximate cause of the debacle in the first place. you have to believe a tipping point is on the horizon, but
6:04 pm
right now, some of the companies that make things which go into housing are feeling the pain of the current low bill rate. when both masco and owens corning are giving terrible misses, it does inject a level of skepticism, some would say fear, into this market that makes us question the elevated prices we've seen for the vast housing complex. i am still a believer in the second ad housing recovery, so i don't fret about this because alas, we're still in the first half, but others who piled in ahead of the turn. all right, i can't blame them for being scared, being shaken out. how about agriculture? >> growing food is a big business in this country and want to see the farmers do well because they spend like crazy, yet today john deer reported a terrific quarter and proceeded to question whether crop prices aren't peaking. that wouldn't be bad for a cash-strapped consumer who has been paying through the nose for
6:05 pm
food stocks. today the machinery stocks and remember as a big machinery company, maybe they've gotten too hot and maybe they moved up too much. then there's devin. especially when devon is boosting its dividends with major new discoveries and they're cutting off the drilling prices because you guessed it, plummeting gas prices is ruining the whole country. the domestic oil and gas boom has been an important part to the rally and the economy as a whole. that goes away if it follows in devon's footsteps, doesn't it? >> no, i think devon is doing the wise thing, cutting back and expanding its oil drilling. what about the web? the two biggest pops to the tech sector is apple's performance and the web's great venth. when apple introduced today after it almost blew up my twitter feed with jim cramer. actually blaming me because they bought apple too high today. oh, wow!
6:06 pm
i plead guilty. i liked apple. sure apple can reverse. does that mean it's finished? does apple have to split to go higher? i hear this nonsense all day. apple's fine. you can't go up every day. even baseball legend joe dimaggio. he failed on get on base in the '57 game. is he a bum? no. how about the terrible quarter from xzynga. i can see why the people want to take a breather especially if facebook might actually be slowing itself. >> personally, i think the problems are zynga-related and zynga alone. you know i'm disturbed over amazon. the oversupply of kindles coming on top of yesterday's suggestion that the important amazon prime edition might be a dud! >> amazon got hammered today plunging almost six points.
6:07 pm
not too late to sell and finally there are the financials and they would provide the electricity, and the real juices is coming from bank of america's stunning climb. now the realities are setting in. we know the stock got knocked by mutual fund redemptions and now the rebound is looking more sinister. it's looking like a dead-cat bounce. not unlike my kitty komag, not after it was run over by a truck and then bounced in the day-one process. nasty. >> the bottom line, i to thely get why people want to take profits of against the thesis data points. let me put it with an analogy that maybe helps. to me, these are all minor quarters or plain wrong notes. stock markets aren't like mozart or beethoven's pastoral symphony. they're all like beethoven's string headaches and one of those awful 20th century classicals that require some advil of not five milligrams of

xanax. my advice, pretty easy. go buy yourself some headphones. ride out this period. conscious going five. can't enjoy it every time. let's go to richard in florida. richard! >> caller: mr. cramer, a big florida boo-yah to you! >> i'm liking a sunshine boo-yah to start the show. >> caller: here we go. let's think about this. my question tonight is in reference to yahoo. it looks as if the deal to buy -- sell back the shares is gone. it's folded. >> yeah. >> caller: do you see yahoo! putting up a real for sale sign to sell everything? >> no, as a matter of fact, i think that yahoo is a classic case of a lot of people. it's much ado about nothing, a little shakespearean analogy there. where there's smoke there isn't fire. i think it's being propped up by speculation, and i think the people ought to -- and go home. let's go to joseph in florida, please. joseph! >> caller: boo-yah. >> boo-yah, ago sun shine
6:09 pm
member. what's going on? >> caller: i have money with teva, and now i see they have a drop in their profit and yet the stock today seems to be positive. what do i do? >> teva's got this moos ache of companies that have bought and it's taking the pressure off the cope axezone, and generic threat and i think that teva which i have disliked intensely has bottomed and is beginning to creep up. we have a little discord in the market's concerto. they're still fine. you have to take the good with the bed and take the headphones on. enjoy the concert. "mad money" will be right back. >> coming up, dazed and confused. a few companies could be making investors sick by guiding them in circles. cramer thinks the cure might just be to sell them. >> sell, sell, sell. >> are they limping in your

6:14 pm
miffed. that's how i feel about a whole bunch of stories today. i'm miffed. take the hideous social gaming monstrosity known as zynga. here's the first quarter out of the chute. the first one is the public company and it could be a dramatic slowdown in online gaming. the stock rhymes -- wait a success. so what? i think when you first come down the chute you should be headed to a higher earnings trajectory. not a slowing one. how about weight watchers? another name that makes me feel peeved. the ceo of weight watchers could not have been more vocal when he came out on "squawk on the street" talking about a bright outlook and how he took destiny by the horns. he talked about the charles barkeley campaign. no bragging from weight watchers as the company severely lowered its sales for this quarter. it's when people make
6:15 pm
resolutions. it's going to make the earnings per share look better than they are. so fewer shares will be left as the earnings, but i think it's a great chance to sell and it must be taken. to paraphrase those 60 sages. we won't get miffed again. consider the abercrombie & fitch ridiculouslessness. they sent the stock tumbling down to 40 bucks. now today -- today, abercrombie says things are better than expected. the stock moved back to 48 and change. what do you have to say, abercrombie, to the people you shook out of your own stock with the lowering of the bar less than two weeks ago? that's not cricket, not at all and they're at the bottom of the amazon bond fracas. there are 10 million prime members and the numbers are less than half of that as the tremendous bloomberg story. shouldn't the amazon people feel like some need to clarify and straighten this issue out especially when the companies express the importantance of amazon prime to the future. is there a huge glut of kindles?
6:16 pm
just asking. heaven forbid that for once gear would report a terrific quarter and not somehow manage to screw it up on the conference call or the earnings release with some sort of downbeat forecast that almost never comes true as i predicted in last friday's game plan. i'm not saying management should only look at the world through rose-colored glasses. that's a recipe for disaster. deere shot itself in the foot by propping up crop estimates. i don't want the estimate as crops which is down more than 5%, not the revenues. look, it could have been up. i want to judge them on the -- the company seems oblivious to its own shareholders and they would be much better off if management, alas, took some prozac. bottom line, we want all investors to get a fair shake. the shareholders deserve better and only deere might be in a position to deliver improvement, the rest -- the rest, i'd sell them. there are so many stocks to
6:17 pm
choose from, weight watchers or abercrombie or sam zon. you deserve better than companies who make you feel miffed. al in michigan. al? >> caller: hockeytown 21 in a row boo-yah, jim cramer. how are you doing? >> it is pretty amazing. i call that a hom court advantage boo-yah. >> caller: i think so. >> what's up? >> caller: because diversification is streaming in most diversification and the fun is really back so thank you. >> well, you know what? if you're having fun that means you're concentrating. so telling people to have fun. what those people don't understand is they hated the market so much that they made it interesting. how can i help? >> caller: i'm holding kraft and doing good with it, but i'm confused about the split. is the ratio decided arbitrarily by the board in the counters or are there sec regs involved? who picks the magic number and
6:18 pm
how do they get it? >> it will be the company and they'll do what's right with the split, and i trust them to do what's right with this strategy. i'd tell them -- i think they'll do what's right with the tactics. i'll say don't worry. we'll make money in the craft? we have and it will continue to be good. let's go to randy in missouri which has the number three ranked basketball team in the country right now. >> jim, am i on? >> yeah, you are, randy. i should have said your name again. i'm just excited about your basketball team. >> caller: boo-yah to you from the beautiful castle subdivision. >> ryan howard's hometown. >> caller: love your show. you're one cool dude and tell me, what's going on with these steel stocks like u.s. steel? is there a future in them? >> no. only nucor. the steel business is a bad business, why? because our friend, buddy pal in china who everybody loves now. we all love the chinese because they're fabulous. they dumped steel. it's an alleged thing, but i
6:19 pm
really listen to dan dammic on, the ceo of nucor and the chinese have wrecked the industry. even though losers get lucky sometimes, but you deserve to own winning stocks. stocks that give you the runaround, stocks that make you miffed, sell them. after the break i'll try to save you more money. coming up, full of energy. energy powerhouse devon beat analyst expectations this morning as they move away from that gas and find slick profits in oil, but did they also just find a new source of the black gold? cramer's drilling for answers in his earnings exclusive with the company's ceo. and later, whether the dow soars or hits the floor, jim tries to help you stay on steady ground with "am i diversified." all coming up on "mad money." ♪

6:22 pm
stories on the dommestic energy industry in the u.s. one is the massive glut of natural gas that is making investors sign the nat gas stocks. along with persistently high prices is causing oil -- causing the stocks to finally get their due. so if you want to find a bargain here what better place to find
6:23 pm
than to look for a natural gas company that's transformed itself day after day into a regular oil play. i'm talking about devon energy, dv, in, the as of yesterday it had barely moved up this year, it's been up 1% since 2012 began versus eog, up 12%, but today all of that changed. see, this morning devon reported a spectacular quarter. 8 cent earnings off $1.47 basis and higher than expected revenues that rose year over year. this company is successfully making the switch away from natural gas and towards high-priced oil and nat gas liquids. right now only a third of devon's rushing comes from liquids. by the end of the year it will be up 40% as it has 40%. that's how devon plans to achieve 20% production growth this year. that's stunning, people. that's stunning. so people look at this company as it was too heavily weighted, but the truth is devon's become
6:24 pm
more and more oily by the day, plus they have an 18% dividend boost which we like even if it brings the yield up to 1.8%. no wonder the stock soared in today's session. devon's finally starting to get the credit it deserve, but don't take it from me. let's talk to the ceo of devon energy to learn more about the quarter and his company's prospects. john, welcome back to the show. >> hi, jim. it's nice to be with you again. >> let's get to it. i'm doing the work on your company and i'm starting to say wait a second. you guys are producing 680,000 barrels of oil a did i, you are in your own company becoming one of the reasons why we could be energy sufficient in this country. >> we've had this enormous boom in natural gas with the shale revolution and now taking that same technology that we developed that the horizontal drilling and the hydraulic
6:25 pm
fracturing and applying it to new oil areas where we hadn't explored before and sometimes to old areas where we knew that there was oil and we couldn't get it out, we are finding a great boon in oil production in this country. it's really a positive thing for america. >> you've been -- you were the pioneer. i'm not going say one of, but you were the pioneer in this kind of terrific drilling. i see you going back in the 40s, 50s and 60s gigantic. is there really that much oil left in the basin which is the premiere area for the country to drill it? >> there really is, we're going into a lot of areas in the perm onbasin and in plays like the mississippian line in oklahoma where there had been traditional production. often, we're drilling through horizons that we knew there was a lot of oil, but we couldn't get it out because the rock was just too tight or too dense. so putting this new technology in is a great way to get that out and there's the oldec pregz
6:26 pm
of no better place to find oil in the oilfield and that's what we're doing. >> you also teased us, and it drove me crazy because i have a good relationship with devon, and i'm not going to get in trouble. you revealed you have a gigantic, potential find, but you don't say where it is. i just need to know. is it in the united states? >> we put together four exciting new venture plays over the last while that we have been pursuing and we're going to get a lot more results this year, and we've also been continuing to add acreage in some new plays that we're not prepared to talk about here in the united states. and the reason we don't want to talk about it, of course, is we're still acquiring acreage in assembling my possession and that would be against our own interest to do that, but we're pretty excited about not only the ventures that we're already pursuing, but some of these new ideas. >> none of them are in the
6:27 pm
packets, if i read every single thing that your company's mentioned. i have not read about this giant field. i have not read about it. >> well, as i said, we just talked today about the fact that we can putting it, we're in the process of putting together 300 and 500,000 new acres. >> oh. i have to give it a try, if this is the most exciting thing. >> what we do often in this country and then you add keystone, the pipeline and what you may have in this country i'm beginning to see the possibility that the 9 million barrels we were doing and we were importing i think we can get 8.3 from north america if we start getting keystone and the things you're doing. >> i think you're right and over a period of time we can move much closer to oil self-sufficiency, and you know
6:28 pm
we get quite a bit from canada. it's our biggest source from oil contrary to what most people think and that's one of the reason yes this whole excel pipeline decision took is so irrational. here we have 750,000 garls of oil a day which are our best friend, wanted to deliver to us and unfortunately, i think the president really shows that he's wieldly out of sufrng with the american public and is thinking like that, and unimportantly, you're tacking people in american theater, so i guess that religion needs reversed is. >> and we could be doing, exporting canadian oil to china while we continue to bring in hundreds of thousands of barrels
6:29 pm
of oil from our friends from venezuela. is that what's happening? >> well, that's certainly -- this could be the outcome of it. as you know, jim, i spent a lot of time in canada, and what has struck me through the whole keystone excel debate is all of a sudden the light switch has gone on and our friends in canada say we need to have two customers. your point is well taken. why? it makes no sense for us to not import that oil to the united states so that we could import more oil from venezuela and the middle east and other blisses that don't have the interest at hurt. it's not a sirrera club issue. >> when i look at what you gis are trick. >> how about nat gas.
6:30 pm
>> $2.50 seems like we could find a level where we find real support. >> right. we can have softness because of a lot of gas and storage and depending on what the weather is, but i have to agree with you. we found this wonderful resource here in this country where it is safe and abundant in america. all of those characteristics and we need to continue to get after that because we're going to see more demand in the next few years. it's just -- it's a -- an advantage fuel and we'll see more demand for natural gas in the united states and that's a positive thing. so there's every chance that we'll see stronger prices. it's really hard to think that prices will stay at the level that they are today for any extended period of time. >> do you think it's because of utility switching and it's because of truck companies realizing diesel is too expensive or is it because we'll be exporting it through louisiana?
6:31 pm
you know, i think it's a com benation of all those things. certainly on the utility side. as they're looking for new general gas expands and it is een more natural gas is the logical at alternative. anything that can go out here for the day and come back to a central fueling facility and we're seeing a significantly greater buildout on refueling capacity and a better change in the delivery system. so i think you'll see all of those things. whether we export a lot in the form of lng, it's shocking to me that a few years ago we were all talking about bringing in lng and today we're talking about exporting it and it shows you what a wonderful revolution it
6:32 pm
is in this country. >> last question. is there any place in this country that none of us realize has a lot of oil underneath it? >> i there there are a ton of places that are just waiting for oil to be discovered. >> i'm out of the sers in doing it, we've been doing it on the gas side and the oil side it's more than three to five years. as we continue to use this technology and move into other areas we'll continue to find a lot of oil and that's a great thing for our country. >> fantastic quarter reflected in a huge run in the stock and i think just beginning. you've gone great for your shareholders and also thousands of percent increase in the give denned. traffic job. i appreciate it. nice to be with you. >> employ, the stock is with

6:38 pm
get from apple, and i said it was just another stock after steve jobs died and the heckman interview, would i take that back? i have a long-term view that heckman's good. i wish people would understand that speculative stocks can go down. i believe in heck, but if you don't believe in it then get the heck out of it. >> let's go to deacon in michigan. >> deacon? >> caller: jim, a big boo-yah from the great state of michigan and the motor capital of the world. >> oh, yes it is. yes, it is. some of the republicans are fighting over the idea that it was good to keep the auto companies alive. what's on your mind? >> well, with oil and gas exploration in the shale area going wild, i'm being looking at a pipeline play. there are two companies i'm looking at. >> what is your take on this. >> i'm going to split the difference and suggest you go
6:39 pm
with kinder morgan. if they would go back to 4% yield, we'll be over it. >> let's go to mark if pennsylvania. mark? >> hi, jim. mark from pennsylvania, how about a pittsburgh penguin b-b-b-boo-yah. >> yeah, sure, why not? go ahead. >> caller: i have an interesting medical company, a revenue recovery company. hms holding. what do you think? >> you know what? this company has been red hot as has been cerner and has been all scripps and of these i do prefer cerner. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round!

6:42 pm
take control by opening a new account or rolling over an old 401(k) today, and we'll throw in up to $600. how's that for common sense? >> as the oil tanker business finally begun to bottom. it's been stuck in the house of pain for ages. many slashed it and eliminated dividends and the widespread belief that the los of shipping companies in general might be in danger of going under. you'd think the business of hauling crude all over the world would fire. clearly there's demand there, but the trouble with the tanker industry is that it's not just the demand for oil.
6:43 pm
it's also about the supply of ships and for years now there have just been too darn many of them. this overcapacity has been crushing the tanker stocks for well over a year now, but now we're starting to see real signs that a turn could be at hand. one of the larger tankers out there has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy new ships. you don't do that unless you think the business is poise faired comeback and long time cramer fife nat, n-a-t which reported a wider than expected loss monday, but that's too often a sign of a classic bottom. plus there were positives in the quarter, rates were up 50% frall albeit from a low base. and the overall tanker market does seem to be on the mend. it has an 8.5% yield and it will pay for the return to happen even as they know it's been a
6:44 pm
painful and torturous road where the dividend has not made up for the capital losses. let's chat with the founder and chairman of the north american tankers to find out where the company is headed. welcome back to "mad money," how are you, sir? >> thank you for having me. >> from 8,000 to 12,000. that is a big move on the percentage basis, but is it a bump along a nasty road for a while? >> believe we're crawling along the bottom. >> okay. >> the fourth quarter was better than the third quarter and i expect that this quarter will be better than the fourth quarter, so we see that the last three quarters we are up and up and up and during these quarters we are paying dividends and the shareholders are paid to wait. >> he's a very rich man. we know he's been a very big bear. he's given the statement last year saying that he felt things were going to be really, really
6:45 pm
