6:03 pm
when the dow gained five points and the nasdaq advanced .09%. i know even i, i've said i want to wait for a couple of down days after this winning streak simply because we haven't been up nine straight days in a row for the dow since november of 1996, and that -- ♪ hallelujah ♪ >> that's a stunning record to be tying and oh, my, were things different and so much better in the economy then. the economy, i remember it well. jobs were plentiful, easy to get. we had people hiring in everything from technology to finance, manufacturing, housing, retail was smoking. 1996 we were at the cusp of the technological revolution where the internet was just beginning take hold of the consciousness. i was running my hedge fund back then and at the same time starting the street.com which remains an important focus for me now. i started the street because i envisioned the world where your
6:04 pm
personal computer married to a phone line could get instant information about stocks that you cared about upon. not just the ones that the day-old newspapers cared and or even the television. the era where people would be able to buy or sell a stock with the key stroke using a personal computer with very low commission rates was just getting under way. what a remarkable time that was. the last time we were up so many day, okay? for the dow, that time. when you had a brand new penny in power pc with microsoft windows and netscape browser and a decent phone line you're about become the greatest financial story ever told. the democratization of the stock market for everyone. it was in that context that we had the nine straight up days in 1996 and a benign time, he went from having high interest rates and low interest rates, but still plenty low versus where they were. the government ran a balanced budget which meant we were the strongest country in the world
6:05 pm
financially and whatever happened in the other markets was a sideshow. it didn't mean much. there wasn't enough international commerce. there were no financial crisis on the horizon. the asian contagion where the stock markets fell apart, still a year away. let's just face it, the last time we were up this many days it was the golden age of investing. in fact, if i look back the only thing we really had in common between then and now was gridlock in washington. ♪ ♪ the government could get nothing done like today and it receded from the picture and simply didn't talk about it all that much in those days, given washington's current powerlessness, we should be focusing on it much less than we do. however, we've got our own set of joys because there is -- there are some facts about stocks. that the economy, the stocks are very similar. first of all, we're also
6:06 pm
washington centric these days and so conditioned that the only thing that matters is tax policy even if taxes were so much higher in the roaring bull market and they were scared of their own shadows and they were hated or shunned by people who talk about it. case in point, retail sales. this morning it came out and they were terrific. you should not be shocked if you watch this show that we had the best retail numbers, hardly a month goes by, and stores are telling me over and over again that the things are very strong and the thesis-mongering bears, and the expiration of the payroll tax holiday is devastating. the sequester is devastating, too. it is true that going over the fiscal cliff could have been horrendous and it destroyed confidence, but it certainly cured that. ever since then, the economy is better than anyone seeps to want to talk about. we hear talk that it isn't. those bears endlessly drumming these negatives into our heads and they're thumb-seeking theorists. they're not schooled in the real
6:07 pm
world of companies as i am. they don't look bottoms up and talk to the walmarts and the costcos. they look up to down and the bears are wrong. they'll remain wrong so long as they're focused on politics. >> if ied had focused i would have had a horrendous year. same goes for you if you financial networkous politics in 2013. stocks are cheaper than they were in 1996 courtesy of the pessimism enjendzerred by politics and the hang ore by the great recession. we see from the buybacks and dividend boosts and takeovers that they're deliciously low. corporate balance sheets have cash and any credit-worth company can easily borrow to buy more stock or acquire other businesses and so can any individual for that matter, lowering any debt you may have on your home and the washington-fixated talking heads and may i add poring heads talk about when the interest rates are going to end instead of
6:08 pm
focusing on how the money is being used to buy stocks by companies and by you. these eternal p/es mifrts do not understand that a stock market that improves the value and the stability of a job leads to more retail spending like we saw today and more stock buy like we've seen these last nine days. you know what? they call it the wealth effect and it's a fact of life that gets overlooked if you spend all of your time hunting for the snipe of a washington grand bargain. i do hope we get a pullback. the dow is up 10% for the year and the best performance since 1998. what has happened? what happened after a strong first quarter if we stay up this high? since 1950 it happened a dozen times. is this only 11 of those 12 occurred prior to the year 2000. you know what makes me think? you can argue that a hideous bear market began in 2000. do you know in each of those years that we were up that much coming into the end of the quarter the index finished positive, how about 50?
6:09 pm
80? how about 100% of the time and ten of the last 12 times we were up 8% and they managed to post double-digit gains in the year. let's put it all together. while there aren't many similarities between this moment and the last nine up days dow streak, when it comes to the economy, remember what tolstoy wrote when it comes to stocks, anna carren ina, each unhappy bear market is unhappy in its own way. maybe i was talking about families, but this is a true bull market like we had in the 1990s and it is true now. they are alike for stocks in the most important way. they make you a ton of money. and therefore your family's real happy. it doesn't mean every old stock goes higher. i still think the stocks at the all-time highs and i've been staying away from them. they're too high, but the stocks in tech and finance are the two
6:10 pm
largest sectors in the stock market and the s&p and the industrials and the oils are still so far off from their long-term highs and so cheap historically that they can be bought during the intraday things that we have every day around here. it looks like we have to get our heads out of the washington sand because the bear can always and easily devour the unsuspecting ostri ostrich. here's the bottom line. the bulls are focused on charging higher, but as someone whoey used to own a bull, to service my cows, they get lazy. they ain't stupid and that's going to be your next opportunity to buy so hop on it. get in the bull ring when the thing comes down and strap yourself on for the ride and be a happy family! joey in florida. joey! >> boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah, chief. >> hey, what are your thoughts on high crush partners, symbol aclp. they produce sand using the fracing process and they have rail infrastructure with union
6:11 pm
pacific so they can reach major shales and basins all throughout the united states? >> i think that -- i know the mineral company. i think that you mentioned two stocks i like. you can buy heckman if you want to straight out and union pacific if you want that aspect. i don't need to mix them. i like to keep them separate. i think it's union pacific and that's what you should do. let's go to brandon in texas. brandon? >> boo-yah, jim! >> booia, brandon. >> thank you for beingic formative and entertaining. >> when you're up this many days you hope people start catching on and maybe it's a good thing, go ahead. >> i have a question about the potential decision about the agriculture department buying the sugar up and artificially raised the price. how will it affect companyings lick hersheys andes inially lee? hersh hershey, the wrapper cost more than the chocolate. the sugar issue is not an issue.
6:12 pm
y ethanol, by the way, i sat down with my friend and did a video this morning for the street. ethanol is what we keep buying. the government is insisting that we use it. the bulls are seeing quite a run, but remember, the bull gets tired. i should know, i used to have won and when they lie down to rest, maybe they go down a little, jump on them and strap yourself in. "mad money" will be right back. coming up, flight path, the airlines have been flying high and with consumers looking for value in their vacations could a low-cost carrier like spirit continue to ascend? cramer's hitting cruising altitude so don't go anywhere. his exclusive with the ceo is next. and later, rich and famous? looking to put together a portfolio that can help you live in the lap of luxury? tonight cramer's king of companies to attract an aspirational clientele. see which high-class stock could shine above the rest. don't miss a second of "mad
6:13 pm
6:16 pm
last week i did something unprecedented on "mad money," a sector of airlines, a sector that i hated since i worked at goldman sachs in the '80s that they're all worth buying. these companies are no longer tearing each other apart with ruinous competition. sure enough the airline index hit its highest level since 2007 and five hit new 52-week highs including u.s. airways from where i recommended it last tuesday. they're doing a different kind of airline and a them bell prof profit-hungry player named spirit. spirit. that symbol is save.
6:17 pm
that's right, save for you home gamers. spirit and save, the small ultra low-cost no-frills operator that's racked up an incredible track record. spirit has been profitable every single year since the economy peaked in 2007 including when oil prices spiked $147 a barrel and it didn't matter. these guys didn't skip a beat. neither of these stopped the company from making money and that's where we had more than a dozen airlines and bankruptcies in the united states and how does spirit do it in in 2005 the company brought in a new ceo and he restructured the airline so it can make money in any environment. right now spirit has 45 planes and they use those planes more efficiently than the competition. keeping them in the air eight, 13 hours a day and same for jetblue and 10.5 hours for southwest. the company outfits its planes with more seats in the competition and the spirit airbus a-320 and there are 178
6:18 pm
seats, so you have two pilots burning the same amount of fuel, paying the same landing fees and less leg room, but the ticket price is also much, much lower. plus unlike other airlines spirit unbundles everything. you have to check your bags and you have to pay for it. same with big carry-on bags and buying food and drinks. it has a balance sheet and $40 million in cash and that's incredible. it's also a growth story as the company plans to grow capacity by 21.5% year over year in 2013. they can triple the number of planes they have. the stock has more than doubled since they became public in may 2011. i've been trading at 11 times next year's earnings and let's talk mel baldanza. mr. baldanza. welcome to "mad money" ". >> thank you, jim.
6:19 pm
that was a great summary of our company. >> it reminds me of a retailer that decided to make money where there's not a lot of competition. you're not giving goods away. you're giving real value and the customer loves it. >> you're right. we'd probably be a dollar general and dollar store. we pay for tickets themselves and who are price sensitive and value conscious and want the lowest price to the total ticket and that's what we cater to. >> there are tears here and you are the dollar general which means, by the way, people go to you. i was at dollar tree this weekend, okay? and why do i go there? there are bargains and it is not the nicest store in the world and people are willing to sacrifice leg room and sacrifice fees for baggage in order to get value and that there is such a thing as value in your business. >> that's absolutely right and the use of fees is a little questionable in that when you buy a car and they charge extra
6:20 pm
for leather for the seating or they charge you extra for the bigger engine. do you look at them as fees or do you think of them as options? we think of them as options and they are going for a very, very low price and if they want something a little nicer they can pay for the option to do that, but if they're not paying for it, they're not subsidizing the neighbor. >> in the world of the web, what we know about amazon to get the best value over best buy and we find that spirit is the best value, isn't it? >> absolutely. if you look at d.o.t. data it shows that the total price people pay on spirit, the fare plus the fees or the options that they actually choose that are fee-based, the total price they pay is in almost every case less than their next best option on the other carrier. people fly spirit because they save money and we have a low cost and we can make a nice margin on the low fares. >> truth to power, i like to say. you will never hear us say our
6:21 pm
is to have 150 flights a day. screw that. we just want to be profitable. this is you. this is what business people say. >> that's exactly right. in fact, when we talk to investors about our airline we start our talk with spirit's an airline that is run like a business and it's kind of unfortunate that in the airline industry we have to remind people that we are a business, but at spirit that's exactly the way we run the company and we're proud of that. >> southwest says listen, man, you fly bags for free? do i do better if i fly southwest than you? >> southwest average fares are much higher than spirit's and what southwest will really isn't telling you is that the cost of your bags is included in the price of your ticket. so the reality is if you check a lot of bags southwest may be a good value, but if you're not checking bags you're paying too much for your ticket. spirit, we let you pay if you take the bags and we save you the money if you don't take the bags. so we think our process is much
6:22 pm
more customer friendly. >> in your conference call you addressed what i talk about on the show, the consolidation. even though i've been pro-consolidation your story isn't about consolidation at all, and it's about where they're not! >> yeah, you know, consolidation in the industry has stabilized the industry in a lot of ways. it's a reduced total capacity and it's reduced the number of competitors in most markets and that has created a more stable environment for the industry, but it's largely as unaffected spirit's growth and we have a much lower cost structure and we when we enter the market we bring much lower fares than the market is typically seen and we tend to add capacity to carry the growth we create. so we're not out there to take share from other airlines. we're there to grow the traveling market base and we carry that growth. so while consolidation is good for the overall industry and we're independent of that and will continue relatively
6:23 pm
independent of that. >> which brings me full circle when i first started buying stocks in the '80s. i bought people express and the reason i bought that they were a low-cost producer and we take share from the higher cross producer. is it different that the take share game is a sucker's game? >> well, it is. what you have, one of the things that's true in the airline business and you know this, jim, average costs tend to be very high and marginal costs tend to be very low. so if the seat's going to be employ tee and it will be available anyway, they'll sell it for any price and that creates price competition and that's why if you're in a share steal game, it's hard to make that work because everyone will try to compete on the margin with you. >> one thing we know, the dollar tree, you're making fortunes and there's room for everybody and ben baldanza, ceo of spirit
6:24 pm
airlines. congratulations on the business model and the great performance of your stock. good to see you, sir. >> thank you so much, jim. >> a simple save. i like the airlines. i have to admit, they're not very well run. this one is an airline that's well run and therefore i think it can go still higher. s-a-v, spirit airlines. stay with cramer. coming up, rich and famous? looking to put together a portfolio that could help you live in the lap of luxury? tonight, cramer's keying in on companies to attract an aspirational clientele. see which high class stock could shine above the rest.
6:27 pm
is. >> just this morning we got some excellent retail sales numbers from the commerce department showing 1.1% increase from january to february. that's the biggest rise in five months and what was that gasoline thing, huh? everyone was fretting about higher income taxes for the rich and higher payroll taxes for everybody and not to mention the sequester. is that supposed to be hurting the economy big? at the moment there's a much more important metric to follow and i've been on this concept in mad money and that's household wealth. right now the price of the homes, is rising just about everywhere. almost 90 million people in the country own stocks and the stock market's on fire. they no question that on average the consumer is feeling wealthy. when brian interviewed him today
6:28 pm
and he's the home depot ceo, he said the same thing, why don't we listen to him, but there's wealth and then there's wealth. i reference the stock that leo tolstoy, and i'm a firm believer in some of the writings of f. scott fitzgerald that the rich are different from you and me, with, in this case, me. i want to get a read on how the rich are feeling. not that i care about their feelings, if they aren't happy, it's their own darn fault and they have a lot of money and there's's whole tier devoted to selling things to the wealthy or those who want to feel wealthy. aspirational. a lot of people want to feel wealthy, what can i tell you? they're not all flying spirit. on february 25th we were at the gats bee index on "mad money," it was to gather the end of the high-end consumer and it rallied
6:29 pm
1.5%, versus 4.4% for the s&p, infinite decimal. however, the more i think about it and the more i read your tweets @jimcramer on twitter, i realized there were serve stocks, michael kors lululemon, panera and starbucks. we have some ritzy foods and fancy clothes covered, but that's it. we need more rich person diversification around here. so tonight i want to introduce you to the new and improved and expanded gatsby index in order to give you a better snapshot of 1%. we can keep coming back to the index and see if they're rich and if the thesis holds up in this market. we're adding toll brothers and it issued a sell on it tonight. huh? that's the highest end home builder out there. listen, where did he live in he had an enormous mansion out there. bronson corporation, the number one make of recreational sports
6:30 pm
and saks, you ever about been to that shoe department? coach, for a more diversified view of expensive accessories. tiffany's because the bats bee index without jewelry? estee lauder for fancy beauty products. that stuff costs a lot. i don't wear it. so what does the definitive gatsby index have. you already know the high end whole player. that's whole foods and you pay top dollar for the natural and organic seal of approval then there's starbucks, the incredibly late-run, and then panera brad, the bakery cafe chain that's as close as you can get to luxury, and i like that 417 calorie chicken, hold the
6:31 pm
chicken, maybe. we have two fancy shymanskiy department stores, nordstrom and saks. the company gave weaker than expected earnings guidance in 2013, but the whole reason the whole stock disappointed -- >> boo! boo! >> management decided to invest much more-ly in building out new nordstrom rack outlet stores and the company posted a 3.3% index, and their sales hit record levels and they have three straight years of double digit revenues and earnings growth. imagine as an aggressive buyback, they can preretire ten% which you can joan if you have credit.com. 45 saks and the fifth avenue locations and they're closing some still and saks is the quint essential high-end department store and in the latest conference call saks said that the high end is stabilizing with the boost of the wealth effect
6:32 pm
offsetting the impact of higher taxes, again, the "mad money" thesis and then you have the retail ends, michael kors with ultra fast steroidal growth. it has pulled back from $68 to $58 and change where michael k orc rs, the man himself sold the stock. do you know why i think this pullback is a quint essential buy. and this lulu onlion on a pair of anti-stink pants and it is going to 250 down road and that's not even counting opportunities and it's heavily shorted. ralph lauren is a mafrter of the apparel brands and these stocks are down. we have interesting opportunities here and today i want to add coach ask tiffany's to the retail index of the gatsby index. coach has made the difficult and
6:33 pm
some say treacherous transition from being a high-flying growth to a value stock. the way you usually make the transition is the way these guys did, having fallen some 30 points from his high and now trading less than 12 times earnings is coach. the company bringing in a new ceo in the beginning of next year. maybe some people are worried about that. lou frank should stay on as chairman and could be acquired by a foreign luxury apparel. j j. crew took itself private. it would send up the stock beg. tiffany, ret nouned jewelry retailer is another one that's had a tough year in 2012 and tiffany's been roaring and i don't see a single good thing happening and ever since the beginning of 2013 and the disappointing holiday sales in january makes me think the bar might be left low enough especially with global luxury tours to come back. i think it's a rumored takeover target and the foreign ministeraless aren't good enough
6:34 pm
to justify where this is. this is a premiere player in cosmetics. estee lauder all sort of prestige beauty products has allowed them to transcend its ownerings growth category and a point that's a point and a half archway from his heights, it belong longs and a yachter a motor boat. i'm calling him discretionary, unless you have an item or something, and bowling and a rich guy ge's placement. this stock is on fire and it's up 18%, and it was in terrific shape. don't forget sandy got the insurance and you went and bought a new boat and up 64% since we recommended it in january of next year. our final addition is toll brothers and it's one of the good plays on the housing
6:35 pm
recovery. and i like bob toll so much, he's the chairman. make no mistake, this is a luxury home builder, the average selling price for a toll house is $570,000. until it reports its latest quarter, it's a little lumpy and the stock sold out, but this is a case that no one did the darn homework. including the toll is raising prices in 60% of the communities and it is 49% rear. since then the stock is playing sideways and they remain horse bound in that side and the next quarter will be strong because they have some very big apartments coming on to market. here's the bottom line. so far our original gatsby index of michael kors, ralph lauren, lululemon, panera and nordstrom's has the s&p by a hair since february 25th, but if they're truly going to keep track of the high-end consumer and that's why i am adding the toll. i'm adding the bc, i'm adding
6:36 pm
the saks, the tof and the a.l., call it the gratspiest. woerl come back to these 13 stocks, lucky 13 and they'll see what yo tell them. >>. >> michael. thanks for taking my call. nike, nke, i just wanted to know if i should buy and hold onto it for a while, and tick's reported a not so great number, and right now you look at some of the china plays in the minerals it beingn't be worse. ooh let's take a pass on nike and i'm willing to rhys missing a point or tw. let's go to zack. >> boo-yah, cramerment?
6:37 pm

we've seen an amazing winning streak in this market. household names like procter & gamble, kellogg reaching all-time highs although i think -- you should schnitzel them, but if you've been listening to me then you know you shouldn't be blindly chasing these stocks. you need to look at those that haven't run yet, finance and tech. keep your mind for the right opportunities and yes, you need to be diversified and that's why it is so important we play each

tear up $100, and the facebook, and the sharing, well, let me just say it makes netflix the perfect fit for apple if the company is on the hunt. hey, why? apple's been lacking social. you need the holy trinity of social mobile and the crowd to triumph in the brave new gadget. he taught me that sales force to come. i know apple's been tantalizing with the idea of the itv being blown out. i simply did not believe the cable companies were willing to comply to apple which means ceding customers to them to have a successful itv iteration. it's what walter isaacson and steve jobs' biographer told me last fall. if isaacson thinks that even jobs couldn't get it done because you couldn't roll the powerful cable companies and as it did for itunes and you know this current management can't do it and jobs is a bully and they were simply tough negotiators
6:56 pm
and neither bullying nor negotiation will give them what they need and they're the names of 27 million compliant households in the country. netflix and those households don't care if they're being built by netflix and being able to rent moves on itunes or netflix directly. you have netflix embedded in every tv clicker and it's what they need so quickly and it does need to do that to get it going. here's what's more important $10 billion, and right now that $10 billion isn't doing anything for them and it earns almost no return because you can't make a good return. in cash, the company hasn't been opportunistic at all in taking advantage of the huge price break to buy back the stock. hey, apple, the stock's down a lot. they've been using the playbook since the bottom of 2009 when worldwide, which has returned every dollar it could to share holders to aggressively raise
6:57 pm
dividends and i know apple is up a lot from the bottom, but you know what? this is a what have you done for me lately business and like it or not, they've already managed to build a fabulous bridge with the entertainment companies and many who need and have to have netflix, and everyone's always talking ash the water cooler like the microwave and it's virtually impossible to catch up with the via and netflix subscription and reid hastings and one of the most capable hosts of our time. funny guy. it's pretty simple. apple mes growth and it needs it in a visible, red-hot way and nothing's hotter than netflix and only the management would miss this opportunity that i'm giving them, right now. one that every other company would have to pass on with the tremendous rally in netflix share price and it wouldn't mean bup cuss to apple.
6:58 pm
plus, if you take the longview, netflix is back to where it was two years ago when the stock was at 204 and everyone was excited about the great developments that are transpiring right now including the original content and the facebook integration and it's worked through the issues that caused the stock to crater and now it's a much more proven story which is what people thought would happen during the last big run is actually happening. the warnings from the bears have failed to come true. tim cook better act fast because the longer you wait the more costly it will take for apple. can you imagine if apple announced a gigantic buyback on friday after the samsung gallax launch. do not pass, just collect the 500. stick with cramer.
