great. well get the entry level to get into our trade. but i don't think at the margin this is going to be big surprising news to folks watching greece. >> okay. we'll see on sunday afternoon when the currency markets open. that's it for here at "money in motion." we in motion." we'll see you back here for more "money in motion." "mad money" starts right now. >> i'm jim cramer, and welcome to my world. >> you need to get in the game. >> firms are going to go out of business, and he is nuts! they're nuts! they know nothing. >> i always like to say 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. my job is not just to entertain you, but to educate you. call me at 1-800-743-cnbc. a not so so hot day. dow sinking two points. didn't rally much. s&p giving up .3%. with a lot of great cyclical stocks rolling over, i am saying you need to stay both patient and constructive.

all last year the market conditioned us to ignore good news and be afraid of everything, like a whipped dog because just about everything could send stocks lower. an errant banker in europe, say something discouraging. down 200 points in a heart beat. we know that the tone of this market has changed dramatically since 2012 began. we know there's a huge emotionalal part to investing. even though we have a honest to goodness bull market, it's one that's taking a breather right now under some key levels. most people i believe and i talk to are still too pessimistic since 2011's action trained us to be pathologically skeptical and get days like today, and i hear people say sell everything. there was a too many to sell everything, and we nailed that. it's not now. that's why i'm urging you to be more incredulous. use this to climb to get in, not out. what's the game plan for next week? got a lot of stocks, some big news here. on monday morning we get argos. this is the big mcdonald's

franchises in latten america. mcdonald's has been stalled for a long time, but i think it's biding time, regrouping. i think it's going to be ready to lift off soon. i don't want to own arco, but if they tell a good story, mcdonald's could be ready for its next move higher, and i'm thinking about the derivative play here. also on monday conco phillips, cop, they hold their investor update. i got to tell you, it's going to be a huge, huge meeting because conoco is going to split into two companies. i think you can continue to do so, but you look obviously if oil goes down below 100 or something, which would be odd. you'll see the stock sell off. i own this for my charitable trust. you heard me talking about it this weekend on bulletin, but the main thing i would say about conoco phillips is it has a big catalyst ahead of it. tuesday dick's sporting goods comes before the opening. now you know we already like under armour and nike.

they confirmed that the merchandise those two companies is selling is blowing out the doors. i will like them even more after dick's report. once again, just like arcos, i'm going to be listening for derivative playoff of dick's. we'll also hear from vail resorts. this is going to be a consumer test. you do not need to take a trip to vail. it's the old discretionary run. this week we heard from a host of retailers telling us they aren't getting hurt by gasoline. yet. i'll be listening to this vail conference call to see if we've reached the tipping point. to learn about the consumer. wednesday, we've got liquor company brown foreman in the morning. the current bull market and all things liquor has been one of the great rager that is we've seen. really amazing. and the renaissance of jack daniels, one of brown foreman's signature brands is breathtaking, and no doubt by the elevation of jack to listerine. i think the whole group will get

a bump after the report. i like to stick with my faves. here watch for beam to come in on these days and maybe buy some of that or deagio, which is wow. maybe one of the best stocks worldwide. just a fantastic company. that's my friend johnny walker black, and his other partners that i also like. i like the red -- i'm partial to gold and the green and i like blue too. i like that whole family. very good blood lines. seena reports on wednesday. we still get one more crummy quarter from an optico teleco. it has no momentum. the major teleco companies are stalling. could sienna give us the turn we've been waiting for some keep your hands in your pockets. in addition to earnings honeywell is holding its investor conference call. you believe it will reiterate its targets and give you a rebirth in commercial construction. that is what could propel this stock. if we keep drifting down in today's fashion for the first couple of days, lisp up.

you might want to buy some honeywell going into the meeting. thursday we hear from one of -- this is one of these ones that i just -- i can't get it off my radar screen. it's called ulta salons. we've talked about it. ulta. this fast grower has been a total home run. we got behind it in october. this beauty retailer has been putting up new stores left and right. you know we like growth. while still managing to deliver double digit same store sales for six straight quarters. the stores are doing better year after year. last time they reported the stock soared 15%. i think there's another good quarter lurking. after the close thursday there's heckman. let's get fill sofic here because i read jim cramer twitter. a lot of people mad at me about that. people have given up on the waste water processing plant that's heavily involved in drulg for oil and gas. they act as if it's finished because of the plummeting price of natural gas and the sierra club deciding that we're not going to have fraking -- oh, the president. i think the country is going to adjust, helped along by the

missile crisis in iran and that petroleum and hydraulic fracking is here to say. i'm trying to find companies that have made fortunes for the shareholders and betting with them and not being shaken out by them. this is due to the daily market action. dick heckman is one of those people, the ceo. if you need immediate gratification, go somewhere else. it's going to be a long slog, but the southwest company will be vital for our nation's drive to be energy self-sufficient. those that are mad because the stock is going lower, i say get a grip, do some work, or get out. finally, this friday the most important day of the week, because friday is labor day. the day the friday employment report comes out. people are going to be on hold all week until we get this number. it is very crucial get a strong jobs number friday, and obama will shoot up in the polls. a weak one fuels the gop. i think it will be strong. i think the economy is still gaining strength. a lot of stocks were rolling

over today, and that means -- i think it can be strong even with higher oil. but the market will not probably recover from its newfound funk until we see a strong number on friday. i think we'll be pleasantly surprised. i think we'll know the economy is going in the right direction. not only is good news happening in this market, but when we get it, stocks do tend to rally. enough with what i now have found over the last 48 hours to be a morbid level of pessimism. keep that in mind next week, and remember that nothing matters more than the employment report on friday, which i expect will be a positive even as the down trend that wear now surrendered to continues for much of next week's trading. let's go to john paul in michigan. john paul. >> boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah, j.p. >> caller: with at&t's announcement of no more unlimited service, did that make sprint a more valuable stock, or -- >> no. no.

you know, the way -- well, this is something i learned when i was at my old hedge fund. something that will come in and say, you know, i was once trained by a classic guy, and i would say exactly what you say. jeez, take all this good stuff. at&t is doing all these good things. he would say the way to play att is with att. that's what i would do. that's charitable trust action owners plus, and to me it's finally breaking out. in cindy in arizona. cindy. >> caller: jim, hey, boo-yah from bull head city, arizona. >> well, it's good to have you on the show. what's going on out there? >> caller: hey. i'm sweating. can you tell me what you think about -- now that they're launching their own website? i've been in from the beginning, and i'm wondering do you think i made the right move now looking for the long-term? >> you made the right move. now, i don't like the gaming stocks. i was taken by surprise by how strong zing has been this week.

a lot of people were betting against the company. that was clearly wrong. i don't want you to be greedy. these stocks that don't have these great earnings profiles that shoot up, you've got to be thinking at all times. let's go to jesse in north carolina. jesse. >> caller: boo-yah, cramer. >> boo-yah, tar heel. or wolfpack. whatever. you know -- >> caller: obama's new energy plan and the based fuels, what do you think about bym and what price do you see it selling to in the next six months? >> no, no, no, no. way too speculative. not -- just not there. one bit, i think it's a mistake to trade it. mistake to play it. i think that if you want alternative energy, you should be thinking nat gas. the others just are not economic. pessimism is back. where is my toothbrush? i want to brush it with a bottle -- brush my teeth with a bottle of jack here. pessimism is back. boy, that was quick, wasn't it? just right here. watch for the good news because it's still going to matter. we should have a pretty funky

week, but by friday i think we get a decent jobs number and maybe people will come to their bullish senses again. "mad money" will be right back. >> retail rivalry. the bulls and bears are battling it out over this highly doubted retail name. is it time to dress up your portfolio with it, or is it a fashion don't? cramer decides next. >> and, later -- >> here's your current location. >> in an age of smartphones and tablets, logic would say that a company that sells personal navigation devices would be extinct, so what the heck is this stock doing up 40% in the past year? don't miss a brand new edition of -- ♪ jim cramer's what the heck stocks ♪ >> what the heck? >> all coming up on "mad money".

i heard they found energy here. it's good. we need the jobs. [customer:] we need to protect the environment. [worker:] we could do both. is that possible? [announcer:] at conocophillips, we're helping power america's economy with cleaner, affordable natural gas. more jobs. less emissions. a good answer for everyone. well, if it's cleaner and affordable. as long as we keep these safe. there you go. thanks. [announcer:] conocophillips.

i love that my daughter's part fish. but when she got asthma, all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information. everyone works as a team. and i only need to talk to one person about her care. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare.

even in a great neighborhood, there are some houses you just don't want to buy. if only because it's too heard every hard to get a handle on what the property really might be worth. right now we got a red hot smoking bull market in handbags and accessories. it's fabulous neighborhood, like the stock ekwifl ebt of beverly hills. rodeo drive. it's full of fantastic homes that have made people lots of money. think about the home of michael kors. hit a new high today. think about the home of coach. less than a point off its 52-week high. think about the fossil apartment. up 50% since the beginning of the year. even though the abbing sccessoi business is fire, there are some names that could be hazardous to your wealth. stocks that cannot be owned because they're too hard to understand.

stocks like vera bradley. vra for you home gamers. small cap speculative maker of women's handbags andas accessories that i was opined to see one. vera is not a luxury play like michael kors or coach. it sells for $30, and not $300. it has a compelling growth story. it buildings out new stores like a small base, like kors, and it's expanding from the east coast to the rest of the country, making it the regional and national retail wholesale business that would normally make me salivate. plus, unlike the other accessory plays, this about 14 points off its high. it's not living on that new high list. it means that you might think, hey, a lot of room to play catch-up. why am i telling you i'm unsure here that i don't want you to play? because vera bradley is an absolute classic -- you google it you see it -- example of what i call a battleground stock.

and in battle grounds people get killed. in fact, this has to be one of the hardest fought battle grounds i have ever seen. buying this stock is like volunteering to slog through the trenches in some horrific world war i style slaughter. neither a path to profit, nor glory. that's right. vera bradley, the maker some of the cutest, most colorful bags and wristlets you've seen is the stock equivalent of dunn. if you prefer an american reference, let's call it one of the bloodiest fights of the civil war. shiloh. how could it be that dangerous in a market. you look at the analyst coverage. eight buys, three holds, not a single sell in this one, and you got to figure there's a substantial cohort of bulls out

there since vera has rallied over 18% this year. on the other hand, vera bradley is one of the most heavily shorted short sold bet against stocks i have ever seen in my whole career. it has a 19 -- shares of the float have been sold short. 10.9. in other words, more than half of the people in this stock are betting it will go south. 57% to be exact. it's true that the shortage has been declining of late. that's still a huge amount of short sellers. now, vera reports the week after next. march 14th. that creates a combustible situation that i frankly don't want any part of. see, as i get older, i wouldn't be saying that ten years ago even i wouldn't be doing this piece if i were doing it like that. as i get older, i recommend that some things are noble to me, and along with what is the sound of one hand clapping, buff these questions is how does a stock react to the quarter when half of its float is sold short? what happens if vera does great? what happens if it disappoints?

you can't know what will happen. we do know that it's totally binary, and it depends on the mechanics of shorting and the amount of pain the shorts can take. that's what will determine where vera's stock goes, and those are things that i can't elizabeth. i'm neither a shrink nor a mind reader. i play one on tv. i can't predict the way the short sellers will react, but that's the only thing that will actually matter here. in other words, when you get this kind of battleground, it's not about the fundies anymore. it's about the shorts versus the longs. it would be different if i were super confident that the shorts are just dead wrong. that would be different. i would say, lisp, we got an interesting combustible situation here. if i thought vera bradley was a best of breed with flawless execution, as i think about lou frankfurther at coach, i would urge you to buy it and the heck with all the short sellers. if i really believed in the story, then the huge cohort of short sellers would be a reason to buy and not sell or stay away because that could be a huge demand. this they can create demand, and the brokers might insist that the shorts cover their position or buy the stocks back.

i think the brokers have lent out more shares to be sold than they should have, moshgs more they can find to fill the orders if real buyers come in because the quarter is good. that's how you get short employeeses, which are extremely difficult to gain, even as they're profitable for the long whz they occur. this one is not that clear cut. i'm not going to come out here and recommend a stock just because i think we can bash the shorts here. i don't play that game. we can't just say i love this stuff or hate it. that's in the eye of the beholder. i'm the last person on earth who should be appraising the quality of women's accessories. i will say in my more -- how do you put this -- pr epa ratory oriented friends. remember cramer rule number one. there's no accounting for taste. we may not be able to do fashion comparisons, but we can look at the financial comparisons to see how vera stacks up against its piers. it xelz when it comes to store growth. it's building out the consumer business. the plan to add 14 to 20 new locations, 29% store growth, that is even faster than michael kors, which is expanding its

footprint at a 27% annual clip. vera has been able to raise prices and has pop-up stores in japan. however, vera falls short on same-store sales, which is my favorite metric, going forward the company is looking at same stores sales growth in the mid single digits. that's much lower than michael kors and coach, high single digits. vera intruz three or four new styles every quarter. the company has to move its inventory nor quickly than its competitors. they can't sell the old stuff fast enough, then they have to discount it in a major way. something that was a problem where they had to fire sale a big chunk of inventory to tj maxx. take this, take this. >> wow! >> this is what the shorts -- sorry, preppies. this is what the shorts are worried about. the channel is still stuffed with that inventory. given these issues and the fact that vera sells for 22 times earnings with a 22% growth rate, cheaper than kors on a growth basis, but about the same as coach, i just don't think it's

worth the risk. here's the bottom line. why buy a hotly contested battleground like vera bradley when you can buy the far less risky coach for roughly the same price? i think you need to stay away from this one. if only because vera is so heavily shorted that the fundamentals are practically irrelevant. this is one of those smaller stocks you can't analyze because its actions determine almost solely by how the short sellers act on the quarter. they could ehave is rate the darn thing with brutal selling even if the quarter is decent. there are literally thousands of stocks that are easier to get your head around. stick with them. you don't need to venture on the battlefield of stocks. there's plenty of easier ways to make money with a lot of quantifiable risk than stick your head. stay with cramer. 6>> coming up -- >> here's your current location. >> in an age of smartphones and tablets, logic would say that a company that sells personal

navigation devices would be extinct, so what the heck is this stock doing up 40% in the past year? don't miss a brand new edition of ♪ jim cramer's what the heck stocks ♪ >> what the heck? >> all coming up on "mad money".

>> the market can be incredibly confusing, even for the pro where's. a lot of times we'll see stock moves that don't seem to make sense, and that sort of thing tends to turn people off the market, right? nobody wants to invest in something if they can't get their heads around it. that's why earlier this week i rolled out a new segment here on "mad money" called -- ♪ jim cramer's what the heck stocks ♪ ♪ what the heck >> what the heck? where we take the most egrejs of examples of stocks that aren't behaving the way we think they should and try to explain what the heck is happening. tonight i got another one for you. lots of people are scratching their proverbial heads and actual heads about the seemingly miraculous rally in garmin, grmn, which everybody, including me, assumed was dead money. after all, who needs to buy a

navigation system from garmin when you have google maps on your iphone? think about it, it's absurdity here. i have a woman in my trunk telling me to make a left. isn't that where the voice is coming could from? i got the virtual smoke show that is my iphone telling me to make the same left. i say three's a crowd. ♪ >> garmin's technology is supposed to be obsolete, and its stock was supposed to be in freefall. instead, garmin has been rallying like crazy. in the last five months this stock is up 44% moving higher practically in a straight line as garmin spent most of january and february on that hallowed new high list. that's insane, right? i mean, talk about a what the heck moment? it's not just the -- back on february 22nd garmin shot the lights out to report a truly fabulous quarter. 31% earnings with revenues that came in much, much higher than wall street was expecting. even accounting for the low expectations.

it was an incredibly huge beat ♪ hallelujah >> so what's the deal? was this quarter just a fluke? it can't be that people are actually loading up on garmin's navigation systems for their cars, can it? maybe the consumer is just really dumb and doesn't realize that if you have a smartphone, heck, you don't need a garmin, or at least that's what i thought at first. i got to admit this one really stumped me at the beginning. i put the question to twitter. i asked what garmin's appeal was because i just didn't get it. the response was overwhelming and instantaneous. i can't recall having heard such strong and positive testimonials, none of them, you know, fixed, no one -- garmin didn't pay anyone to say any of this stuff. i haven't seen it in many, many years. it wasn't just about the navigation devices in cars and trucks. a lot of people said their product is far superior than anything on your phone or installed in your car, including the twitter user that says he doesn't use the mercedes factory gps because garmin's is better.

the real story was about garmin's many other products that i didn't know about. here is a tweet from@veteran go maps that says i use a garmin gps watch while running in order to track distance, speed, and route, and then download data to computer for analysis. see, i had no idea they could do that, and i got a ton of other tweets about how garmin's gps watch is beloved by runners, by marathoners. people talked about their products for the bicycles, their boats, their airplanes, motorcycles. they even got one for swimming. turns out the garmin of today is nothing like the garmin of even just a couple of years ago. we're taking a closer look at this company, and i realize that it's the bears who are the numbskulls. it's the short sellers who don't have a clue, and there are a lot of shorts in this. i think all the people who are shorting garmin, at least a good number of them, leave their betting against the company that simply makes gps systems for cars that's been out moded by what i talked about. as i learned from the twitter community, that is not the heart of garmin's business anymore. the company is diversified into

making gps products for outdoor fitness, marine of a yags, and these account for half of garmin's sales this year, and more importantly, 75% of the operating profits. within these new categories, garmin has a ton of really hot new products. last quarter their outdoor segment posted 35% revenue growth thanks to the company's highend handhaeld held gps systems for hikers, as well as their dog training service devices. dog training devices are huge. i bet you didn't know garmin was a pet play, but last year they bought a company called tritronics that's one of the leading names in electronic systems and gps trackers for dogs. here's one. it also does a pretty darn good job tracking television hosts, or at least that's what my executive producer regina tells me. right, regina? does it track better clothes in your closet to wear next week

maybe? anyway, that's -- hey, i have that right. i'm a host. you get your own show, you can say things just like that. then there's a garmin fitness segment which showed 17% growth in the last quarter, and would have done even better if not for the delay of a key product launch. here garmin makes -- just a second. i'm sorry. okay. here garmin makes fancy touch screen gps watches for athletes and runners that track every element of your training from your heart rate to the amount of miles logged. it's like a personal trainer that you can strap to your wrist. oh. they've got also these products for bicyclists, including a much anticipated one coming out just this month that measures the power you're putting into each petal. the petal to the metal can be measured. the marine segment, where they make gps systems for boats ask ships, they also had a strong quarter, and their aviation division, which serves business jet makers like cessna and helicopter makers like bell, it's always been good, but it's

going to have grate year. business contract wins. all this stuff represents garmin's future. it's behind the stock's recent rally. yet, so many still think of this one as being all about gps systems for cars. it's still a big part of their business. it's definitely in decline, but that may not be as bad as people think lately. we see staples from the personal navigation assistance biz, and these things still get stolen from cars all the time. you got to figure the demand for them is real. that said garmin realizes that nav systems for cars is in its past, and they've turned this into a cash cow that can fund these faster growing segments and their new inventions. we do understand how garmin is diversified beyond cars. you can see why the stocks rally makes a ton of sense. if garmin's core business isn't in decline, and it's not, then what we have here is a growth stock. listen to these statistics. it's a growth stock at $12.79 at nest net cash per share, and a fabulous 3.4% yield.

you have to figure the recent run was compounded by the ignorance of people like yours truly who didn't understand how this company has morphed into something much bigger and better than we remember. in fact, not only does the rally make sense, but i think garmin could have a lot more room to run given that when you back out all the cash in the balance sheet, it's only selling for 12 years less times earnings and having a 12% growth rate. here's the bottom line. sometimes when we don't understand a move, we have to say what the heck? the fault is not in our stocks, but in ourselves. garmin's rally only fooled people who hadn't done their homework and didn't realize the company had changed its spots. the truth is as i have learned all too well from twitter@jim cramer, garmin deserved to go higher, and the vast majority of us on wall street were too clueless to notice. oh, here we go. i have to do this. bear with me. don't be jealous. i'm getting a garmin.

look, i think the housing recovery does help some stocks, but if you are going to blip better on the housing recovery, you'll have to go with something that is far more indemmic to housing. maybe you go and you buy a stock like whirlpool, okay, or usg. how about usg. that's a warren buffett play. it looks like business is bottoming. those are better than doing it with direct tv. it's a more direct way to play it. garmin made a u-turn, and i think it's finally headed in the right direction. when we ask what the heck is going on and we discover all these kind of things, we discover it's our fault garmin goes higher. stay with cramer. >> coming up, ride the lightning. take a nonstop thrill ride as cramer goes stock after stock. all your calls taken rapid fire on the lightning round.

frank. >> caller: boo-yah, mr. jim. frank from california. thank you for the show. i'm looking at applied materials, amat, torn between -- >> no, no. look but don't pull the trigger. applied materials made a solar bet. that turned out to be not so great. their regular equipment is just okay. i like the semiconductors, but that yield is not that high. i say ixna on that, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round. [ buzzer ] >> the lightning round is sponsored by td ameritrade. >> they bumped off shattner faster than you can put in the mind-controlling ear wig in the ear.

>> time for some spring cleaning here on "mad money". you know this set needs it. on monday i got a call from bob in connecticut about bright burn energy partners, bbep. i decided to come back. this is a master limited partnership, or mlp, focused on domestic gas production. it has a juicy 9.4% yield. like that they're investing heavily in oil, but they have some long live natural gas reserves that could be at issue given how the price of nat gas has been crushed. if you're looking for income, let's not reach for it. i would stick with the pieline mlp's that my charitable trust owns. ones like kindred morgan partners. they're a lot safer because they're far less exposed to the price of the commodity.

on wednesday andy from pennsylvania wanted me to get my thoughts on kra, cray, for you home gamers, and i want to take a look at this one. cray it's a $200 million market cap. they make the world's fastest super computers, and the company has a mission to use its powers for good, designing safer vehicles, discovering life-saving drugs and safeguarding national security. in an attempt to advance the frontiers of science and engineering. hey, can you say save the world? as today's valley girl investor would ask is this cray cray? i think it looks like two powerful thaemz, but to me it's incredibly risky, and the company's sales are lumpy. their average machine costs $35 million. stock is up 18%. what are you waiting for 1234 ka-ching, ka-ching. if are you looking for a big data play, i prefer something with less risk that trades at a more reasonable valuation like efc, and back on february 22nd steven in new york asked me

about compania -- or sbs for you home gamers. this is the largest water and sewer provider in latin america which contains about 40 million people and accounts for roughly 30% of brazil's gdp. this is a nice low risk natural monopoly. juicy 7.1% yield. on the other hand, oh, we missed it. mammoth run. 38% since the beginning of the year. practically in a straight line. i like the story, but i feel like i missed it. i wouldn't do any buying until sbs gives you a better entry point with a serious pullback from these levels. let's look at mail and some mad tweets. okay. this one is from gigi. could be gold corp., but i prefer the gld to the gold corp. in your book you have a description of -- that's the book "real money." what's your view of the market is now? i believe that we are at the beginning of a longer term comeback, which means, frankly, that you have to be a little less defense i have, a little

more offensive, but because oil is up so much, people keep thinking we're going to roll over again. the chart, what i'm saying, is not that valuable at this particular moment. so we're in decent recovery, but if oil goes up much higher, people think the recovery is going to be killed. that's not like the description i have of the book, unfortunately. now, here's a tweet from @dad golfer cook. this guy has a couple of skills that i'm not exactly strong at. anyway, he asks is ren a way for us mortals to play facebook? hey, listen, shakespeare, what fools you mortals be if you play facebook with ren. we don't recommend any chinese stocks other than bayou here. another one. this one is a tweet from eric holstein. like the cow. well, not really like -- if you are eric, you probably didn't like that analogy. anyway, what are your thoughts regarding the company with too much cash on its hands, acquiring nintendo to compete with xbox and ps3? i'm willing to say that the

company is apple. apple is not going to make that acquisition, and may i point out that microsoft is doing incredibly well and yet it is still hated. as this market continues, everyone is so bearish. microsoft under 30. that's for me.

>> hi a flashback today. 9:30 in the morning before the new york stock exchange when germany's ceo over the latest internet -- yelp range the opening bell. pulsed right through me. i felt like joining the throng, the congo line, celebrating the birth of a new billion dollar baby. my flashback knew better. my flashback recalled the hooplah of another era, and the only emotion that should be on display no matter what the latest internet geniuses had cooked up is skepticism. unadult rated skepticism. you see my flashback was of the late mark haynes, 13 years ago. at that point the host of ""squawk box"" telling me his guest co-host that he couldn't give any free passes to the internet entrepreneur ifs they were making no money for shareholders. he said that if he weren't especially cuff on those execs bringing companies public with no profits, that he wouldn't be doing his job. he wouldn't be doing right by

the viewers. he could cause them to lose money, and it was his job to do his best to make sure that they didn't lose money. he knew the government wasn't going to do it. he knew the bankers weren't going to do it. he knew somebody had to do it. it might as well be him. no free passes, jim. no free passes. he could even do it with a smile. just do it. so when yelp stopped and sat next to me this morning, it was time to ask the tough questions. the real buzz kill questions. the why aren't you profitable yet queries? the ones that were meant to show people that, don't go nuts here. you're not buying some fabulous growth company with a long track record of paying out good dividends. to tell you the truth, actually, it was a difficult thing to do. sit there four feet from a terrific guy who was having what many would consider one of the greatest days of his life and suggest that he should be cognizant of the trillions lost in a previous year that he didn't have anything to do with. but haynes taught us to do it that way. do it with a twinkle, but do it nonetheless. i don't know about yelp's long-term prospects, and when

you have been at it for a decade and you haven't made necessity money, maybe you'll eventually get it right if you think that a profit is the right goal. i dough know that as i said on "squawk on the street" as i tell you all the time, no after market buys, please. it's too risky given how few googles are there and how many more web bands and etoys came through the chute of esther year. i do wish yelp and the shareholders the best luck. they seem like great guys. i'm just glad that when given the chance i was able to check the enthusiasm and focus on what haynes told me was the right thing to do. be skeptical. do your best to tell people to not lose money. no free passes. thanks, for teaching us all how to do our jobs right, even if it means being a curmugeon when everyone around you is celebrating what is for them a joyous occasion. stick with cramer.

>> i like it. you have a couple of dreary days, and everybody thinks it's completely over. things are rolling over. the market is no good. the breath is bad. all right. listen. we've had a huge run. you mind if we take some profits? it's okay. it's what happens in real bull markets. you know something, i good bull market actually has some sell-offs in it. it isn't just like this
