11:01 pm
realize that this incredible magical turn is happening? if you want any of those calls like i have i think it will be obvious the turn is at hand and it could be a huge one. so big that it might actual be the major reason why the internationally oriented stocks simply don't come in. why the s&p is hitting a high. also why the averages are there today. dow up two points. nasdaq climbing .36%. because these stocks aren't going to come in. the evidence is that compelling. even as the conventional media keeps missing this huge swing and prattles endlessly about how disappointing the earnings have been so far. complainers. do homework for heaven's sake. this is the real deal. mad money viewers will be way ahead of the game on this story. some people are skeptical about europe. for years they were doing the
11:02 pm
wrong thing. raising interest rates twice, not adopting easing, going for austerity, except for when it comes to uneconomic renewable energy and yes, european earnings from mcdonald's this morning were disappointing, as were the american numbers, although after listening to chipotle on "mad money" friday, the cfo, i wonder if the issues at mcdonald's, maybe it's the kind of cheap food they serve versus the pricey food with integrity that chipotle purveys. but they demand more info. they think the aggregate data is so soft nothing good is happening. frankly my dear, i don't give a damn about the aggregate data. it's just something for economists to argue about. so let's go with what the big international companies had to say about europe. let's start with general electric which was hit by europe's weakness over the years
11:03 pm
and seemingly bemoaned it forever, the ceo jeff immelt, one of the gloomiest souls out there when it comes to europe. he said for the first time he sees signs of life in europe, uk, france, northern europe. healthcare, which had become a black hole in europe, showed the first positive orders in three years. we had obviously a big improvement in europe in orders across the board. honeywell ceo said he was not yet ready to declare victory but he added it's been encouraging to see so far. this from a company big in autos, aerospace and climate controls. ppg was effusive about what he said, namely a turn in europe. we think we have stabilize and it should get better from here. when a skeptical analyst
11:04 pm
questioned this term, he said he's hearing the same thing there that he heard at the bottom here. that the auto bill would never come back and would be at permanently low levels. he says that europe is a little far behind us. he added that he sees a fairly consistent basis in the region and a few of our businesses did achieve volume growth this past quarter. ladies and gentlemen, that is incredible news. most importantly saw an 8% growth. that is a big increase. ingersoll rand, the machinery and air conditioning business in europe had surprising growth. it sent the stock to the stratosphere. what happened here? here's a sample comment. we lowered expectations for western europe and they're better than what we thought. the companies saw strength, their word not mine, and climate controls for the first time in ages. no wonder it had a gain. it had been held back by europe for several years, johnson controls.
11:05 pm
our european automotive business turned profitable and jci had a 4% growth which was a real surprise. company told us it expects to see good sequential improvement in its hard hit auto business. well, johnson controls flew on european news and it's not just industrials. vf corp., which someone downgraded, give me a break, a host of european companies, germany, poland, austria, switzerland, also the uk, one of many with strength in the united kingdom. they're starting to catch up. uk is catching up to the united states. finally the british are coming. but perhaps the most important tale of the turn came from manpower. this was an amazing european quarter for manpower. revenues exceeded expectations due to modestly improving trends
11:06 pm
in france, italy, and spain. this was the first company to talk about business in italy. italy, for heaven's sake. revenue in italy was 278 million which is flat for the quarter. we seem to have hit the bottom in italy as we witnessed notable improvement compared to the first quarter this year and the first quarter last. finally the most encouraging stat from last week, sap. sap's declaration of a bottom in spain. congratulations to bill mcdermott, now single ceo of s.a.p. in spain, businesses improving by double digits. you bring in s.a.p. to streamline employment. won't go down because the business is going up but the more important take away is the spanish companies are spending money bringing s&p and they weren't doing that a few quarters ago. the turn in europe is the big unreported upon story. it's huge and simply not being talked about.
11:07 pm
it is so stark. got 600 million people over there and it's going from bad to good and that's astounding. it's exhilarating, and most importantly, it is just plain bullish for us and the world. what do we do about it? you play european stocks. you can do it with an exchange traded fund like the vanguard ftse europe etf. it's the vgk. that's very good ken, for all you home gamers, which tracks the best european companies. hasn't done anything this year. you haven't missed it. that's right. we're debating whether to pick it up for my charitable trust. i'm impressed with what general electric has to say, but ingersoll rand, johnson controls, they're going to get a huge boost now that the turn is here and they're not going to come in on it. if they come on the decline -- i'm not a big fan of manpower
11:08 pm
but it just jumped 11 points in a couple of weeks time. heres the ultimate take away. it isn't what to buy as much as what not to sell because of europe. so many companies had the earnings held back and so many have been crimped by europe and that's not happening anymore. it's a huge turn in a huge continent. the largest market for china. a gigantic market for the united states. china is in decline and latin america is so-so. but europe turning? wow. if turning europe is undeniable and you would know it if you just listen to these conference calls and hear what the companies with boots on the ground have to say. this is the big story about earnings season so far as no one is talking about it. given that i read through the calls, on the beach yesterday, we were all jibbering about family and today when they prattle about royal baby names that makes me a geek.
11:09 pm
harlan in washington. >> man, that conference call, up 9.4% friday and it doesn't even pull back hardly a little bit. what am i to do? increase my position? wait for a pullback? or is this got a lot left to go? >> you don't come in up this big. i like the stock. a lot of things are going on with the super bug thing we told you about. let's go to frank in florida, frank. >> yes. thanks to viewing cnbc, especially your one hour show, my wife and i are enjoying a wonderful retirement at the top of the world community in ocala, florida. >> i'm loving that. i love ocala. horse country. >> recently we added southwest airlines to our diversified portfolio, about two weeks ago. and i was wondering what your

11:15 pm
whole foods, the ultimate purveyor, is up 23%. hain celestial up 36%. and annie's, another player is rallied 33%. fairway, another organic grocery store rocketed 115% higher since it came public in april. however there's one company that's awash in this theme and barely getting any credit, i'm talking about wwav for you home gamers, the maker of organic dairy and dairy like products like soy milk, horizon organic milk, land o lakes butter and dairy creamers. stock is up 21% for the year. that's barely more than the 19% gain in the s&p in the same period, and much less than other natural food names.
11:16 pm
there's a bunch of reasons but part of it is simply has to do with the fact that when a group has been rallying as hard as these foods have it trickles down to the cheaper names in the industry and white wave is cheaper than its cohorts. it has a 20% long-term growth rate. hain sells for a higher multiple, 25 times next year's earnings even though it has a lower 16.7 long-term growth rate. annie's sells for 36 times earnings and it's only growing a couple of percentage points faster than whitewave. whitewave was spun off of dean foods in october and is still getting its act together, but it doesn't deserve to trade as such a discount. if it were to get the same price point as hain and it has a faster growth rate, the stock
11:17 pm
would trade to 21, but i think that might be a low ball target. hain trades at 1.5 times its growth rate while annie's trades at 1.6 times its growth rate. it would trade at 31 times earnings or $26. that's a 30% gain from here and i believe whitewave can do it. the company is a leading player in three major categories. plant-based foods and beverages, soy milk and almond milk and kids, not just my vegetarian daughter, loves this stuff. coffee creamers and beverages, and premium dairy. their brands are number one and number two in the main product categories here and in europe. europe loves that stuff. in the first quarter they launched silk iced latte. as well as silk creamy and soy based yogurts. i put this stuff in my coffee every morning. i'm not kidding.
11:18 pm
it sold off hard during the second quarter with a vengeance. it earned 16 cents a share, a penny better than the estimates, but the revenues came in shy and the guidance was in line in an industry where most players were posting incredible blowout results. some people are disappointed they haven't been able to produce more earnings growth. the company has been aggressively in order to boost earnings growth down the road. they started up almond milk production so they can produce 100% of the almond milk needed internally under a more favorable cost structure. almond milk is one of the fastest growing products. as much as we would like to think that cow milk is like apple pie and motherhood, many people just don't trust the way we raise cattle in this country, and therefore, shockingly, they don't trust the milk. got soy? got almond? the real killer here is when
11:19 pm
dean foods distributed a huge chunk of whitewave to its own shareholders. they dramatically increased the float here and most of them just dumped the darn thing. they didn't even know what it was. to make matters worse, even though they still owned 19% of white wave, they announced they would be selling these shares around 30 million, via secondary offering. this caused a huge overhang in the stock. people didn't know when it would happen except sometime in the third quarter. shorts gunned it down. but then last week two things happened that gave them a real boost. first last wednesday whitewave priced the secondary, $17.75, so we know that the hangover is over and there's no hangover 2 or 3. with the stock up a dollar, it's a much less favorable risk. second, whitewave gave offside revenue for the quarter which indicates when the company reports on august 9th, the results should be strong.
11:20 pm
i think the move has much further to go. here's the bottom line. the organic and natural space has been on fire but whitewave has lagged its cohorts because of the spin off and the former parent company dumping the shares in the market. i think whitewave deserves the same evaluation as hain celestial or annie's which means it deserves to go higher. don't underestimate this trend toward natural and organic. it may be one of the most powerful concepts out there, and right now whitewave happens to be the cheapest way to play it. i need to go to matt in new york. >> booyah from upstate new york. >> i'm a 46er. i say booyah right back. >> you did a great job. >> thank you. new york times had some nice words to say. i was thrilled about that.
11:21 pm
>> caller: i caught afc popeyes when you recommended in january and february. both have gone up. but i want to buy again on your recommendations but i need some cash. should i trim them or sell them so i can buy? >> i think you ring the register bemis. i would not -- i would not sell the afce which is also known as popeyes. i would not sell afce. chain of fools, the food chain of fools maybe. the organic trend is upon us. do not ignore it, and we have found a cheap way to play it, and the name is whitewave. after the break i'll try to make you more money. coming up, oil's well? the rising cost of crude doesn't have to slow you down. cramer's helping you fight back against rising fuel prices. he's got the slick stocks that can shoot higher just ahead.

[ static warbles ] right now we're witnessing a second american revolution, only it's not about quartering soldiers or taxation without representation. it's about the price of oil. for years america suffered the tyranny of brent crude. it's the international oil benchmark based on british oil
11:25 pm
fields in the north sea. when you take your car to the gas station the price you pay at the pump is not based on the west texas crude benchmark and ever since 2010 there's been a huge spread between the global price of oil and the west texas price even though it's a higher quality than that of the brent junk. the spread was $16 meaning producers that sold their crude at the pipeline hub in cushing, oklahoma where the west texas intermediate price is set got $16 less per barrel than if they sold it on the international market. in short, for years american oil producers operating in the heartland were second class citizens of the global oil market. there was one price for oil could be shipped overseas and a second, lower price for oil that was landlocked, but look at this. in a few short months, all of that has changed. this is an incredible triangle. i mean -- well, all right,
11:26 pm
anyway, trust me. the west texas price has surged to a point where the spread has shrunk dramatically down to almost nothing. most people didn't think this would happen. most people thought brent would come down. west texas was too low. even after today's decline, a barrel of west texas intermediate crude sells for $107. that is a game changer for a huge number of companies that's not being talked about. tonight i'll tell you who wins and who loses. now the two tier pricing has been eliminated but you have to understand how this spread happened to begin with. how it got to big and why it vanished. it persisted for so long because many u.s. oil companies in the heartland simply couldn't get their product to the coast. we just didn't have enough pipeline to service all the new discoveries.
11:27 pm
remember we went to the bakken in north dakota and the eagle ford and permian basin in texas, they were flooding the oklahoma hub with crude. the only way to get that oil crude down to the gulf coast was via expensive transportation. why has it vanished? because the pipeline company has been working overtime to lay more pipe. they have more capacity running to houston right on the gulf coast. previously that oil would have gone to cushing, oklahoma. they also managed to reverse a key pipeline. on top of that, we know that many new pipeline projects that connect the hub directly with houston will come online this year or next year. last month, bp started its gargantuan refinery in indiana which is out of commission and can funnel 250,000 barrels per day. yeah, the spread is dead and it will stay that way because there's so much new pipeline capacity coming in. i could easily see west texas intermediate price periodically going higher than brent. first, who wins from all of this?
11:28 pm
you have the landlocked exploration and production companies. used to be so little transportation infrastructure they had to sell their oil to a discount. they weren't even getting wti. take continental resources, the company we hung around with in the bakken. is basically in it, this one had $1.2 million. continental only making $90 barrel. $12 differential. now they're getting $2 less than the west texas price. stocks are not but not hot enough. it will be a huge beneficiary from this gigantic rally. that is a growth company. it makes up 71% of the total production. that's a lot of oil that can now sell for a little less than $107 a barrel. same goes for whiting petroleum, 700,000 acres. i also like kodiak oil and gas,
11:29 pm
with 42,000 acres in the bakken, bringing their total holdings in the area to 96,000. they're not for sale. that didn't work. there was supposed to be an auction but it never happened. all of these companies used to be second class citizens in the oil market but now they can get the same high price as everybody else. in the eagle ford shale, another huge discovery i told you about many times, they should benefit nicely. 53,000 acres and they expect to grow liquid production by 30% this year. if you want a high quality company with exposure to the bakken and the eagle ford, look no further than eog resources. a big player with resources all over the country. it includes some of the best wells in the region and the country. they could hit oil with with a straw down there. the company grew oil production at a 33% clip.
11:30 pm
another growth stock, and eog has the ability to grow production faster now that they can get a better price for oil. they used to sell a $10 discount to the west texas intermediate but lately the pricing caught up with wti. pioneer natural resources is the best permain play. 600,000 acres with with access to plenty of pipeline and rail. here's one resource, cxo. some have been worrying that it isn't that good but if they deliver good quarter on august 7th that will put those concerns to rest. the death of the wti/brent differential means you need to sell the landlocked refineries benefitting from the spread. hollyfrontier, marathon, no thank you. last but not least, i hope you're sitting down. it's a big change for me. i think the oil tanker business, at last, could be on the verge of a renaissance, and the way to play it is, drum roll please,
11:31 pm
and not this -- nordic american tankers, nat. with the collapse of the spread, refineries on the east coast are going to import more oil because there's now no difference between the domestic price and international price to speak of. that means a rise in oil shipments from africa and a concomitant increase in day rates for tankers. for years this industry has been a human punching bag, but in the last few weeks we've already seen signs of improvement with day rates for tankers and large crew carriers on the rise and at or nearing their highs for the year. plus at these levels, nordic american gives a 7% yield. i say bye bye bye. that is no longer to quote bob marley natty dread anymore. now that the prices have closed the gap with brent crude it's
11:32 pm
time for the landlocked oil producers to shine. and don't forget nordic american tankers. perhaps the best trade off of the new oil pricing revolution. mike in new york, mike. >> caller: booyah, jim. first off, let me thank you and your staff for all you're doing for us home gamers. really appreciate it. >> my staff -- the staff is unbelievable and it starts with regina who is celebrating st. patrick's day today, although it doesn't seem to be july 22nd, to be st. patrick's day, but that's okay. luck of the irish. i'll take it. >> caller: my question is about apache, apa, is it a buy, sell, or a hold? >> it is a -- well look, no, i did a lot of work on apache this weekend. they have a lot of american assets. there's been this big egyptian discount but from what i see out of the new government in egypt it's a little more capitalist. so apa, it works. margaret in new york, margaret.

>> caller: booyah jim cramer, thanks for being my mentor, i really appreciate you. >> doing my best. what's going on? >> caller: i have a stock i understand they're reporting tomorrow. i bought them at 26 and sold some off the table at 47 and i want to know what your take is on it. should i buy, sell, hold? >> when i have a company that's about to report i know better than to stick my head in that lion's den. we're going to have to look. i don't want to opine ahead of that. i'm not familiar enough. thank you for the kind words about the mentoring, though. the spread, it is dead, which means you need to refuel, recharge your portfolio and embrace the new american revolution. did he say buy nordic american tanker? i think he did. don't move. lightning round is next.

11:43 pm
nobody ever made a dime from panicking. that's one of my rules. the ironclad rule and with the market climbing to all new levels, let's throw in a corollary. most of the time, fretting about big, bad macroeconomic worries is merely a terrific way to miss fabulous money making opportunities. consider the defense contractors. nearly five months ago the
11:44 pm
budget sequester kicked in and those stocks were supposed to be turned into mincemeat. instead, look what happened? it's the strongest group in the s&p and it's been happening all year long. no reason to believe it will stop soon. check out the defense and aerospace stocks. honeywell, someone downgraded it today. give me a break. they're trading at the highest level since 2008 when the financial crisis went full throttle. united technologies up 25%. l 3 communications up 21% and another aerospace player with significant defense department is trading up since 2008. all of which has got to make you wonder about the pundits and talking heads that told you to dump all defense at the beginning of the year. it was supposed to wreck this group but the defense stocks
11:45 pm
caught fire. let me mention one more. one of my absolute favorites in the space. and that stock is northrup grumman. just hit another new all time high in the wake of a terrific rally over the last three weeks. it cuts to the heart of the defense stocks, why they're roaring nonstop despite government mandated take backs that were supposed to wreck the industry. bob lang is the founder and senior strategist of explosiveoptions.net and as well as being my colleague. remember lang has a hot hand right now. four weeks ago he told us it was time to buy the regional banks, have you seen them? a sentiment i hardly agree with. that stock seems unstoppable. what the heck is going on. they're up an average of 11.5%
11:46 pm
and the quarters weren't that great to be honest. now, lang has bullish feelings based on the charts and i think he's right, based on the fundamentals. so take a gander at the weekly chart. this is one unbelievable move since the year began. from a technical perspective, this has been a beautiful rally. as lang notes this move has happened on big volume. there's your volume. remember volume is like a polygraph indicator for technicians and high volume means that the rally is telling the truth. they're taking the stock, not hanging back on the bid. that's what that means. how long can this move last? the stock is going up too far, too fast and waiting for a vicious pull back. well, we have ways to measure that, and lang likes to use the williams percentage r oscillator down at the bottom of the chart.
11:47 pm
that's an indicator created by larry williams. similar to the stochastic we use to measure overbought or oversold conditions on the chart. it has been an overbought territory since march. it's just staying there and it shows no sign of breaking down. now this is a little twist. lang says that northrop is embedded in overbought territory and it's a bullish sign. it's even at higher and higher prices. this is saying it's not going to come in because it won't come in. i know that is circular reasoning, but the technicians look at that and marvel about strength. and they like relative strength. now, check out the daily chart. if anything, this one is even more bullish according to lang. the stock has a strong support floor at 84, that's right there. about $4 lower than it's currently trading and this is what is really important.
11:48 pm
i haven't seen this from any of the charts we've done lately. there's no ceiling. there's no ceiling of resistance. i'm conjuring that. really scary. this is about the all time high. it's going there. even better, look at the moving average convergence divergence line at the bottom. this is a momentum indicator. we talked about it before and technicians often use it to detect changes in the stock's trajectory. two weeks ago it flashed a buy signal. that's where the black line crosses above the red one and the stock broke out above its last ceiling of resistance. 84. that is mac-d telling lang that noc remains a buy and the williams percentage r oscillator on the daily chart is just like it was on the weekly. again, overbought.
11:49 pm
meaning northrup grumman has the ability to keep powering higher. astounding chart. they could trade sideways for a period consolidating gains while the stocks moving average catching up to it. this has to work its way up while that stays flat. that's something he's saying. he sees noc as we call it, resuming its long march higher. in the meantime he believes it's worth buying on any pullback. i agree. here's the fundamentals. it makes perfect sense which is why i recommend the stock again. it's up 8% since then but so far so good. people thought it would slam down like an iron curtain on the company's revenues, but the sequester didn't reduce the value of the existing contracts with the pentagon, it merely reduces the flow of new orders and because these contracts can put years to put together, the company still has plenty of business. in fact, despite the challenging

environment they have a book to bill ratio higher than one. it has more business than it can fulfill. heres the key thing, let's go back to the chart for a second. northrup grumman reports on wednesday morning and there's some things i want you to keep in mind before we get these results. first, this is indeed a massive defense contractor with huge scale. they can buy companies. second, the company had sine fabulous long-term contracts on programs like the f-18, f-35 fighter jets and the b-2 bomber. third they are a major player in the command and control communications and also in computer equipment for armed forces. tremendous exposure to unmanned aircraft and lots of other programs that aren't going to get cut. fourth, they have been cutting costs aggressively. they spun off the shipbuilding business years ago and they have been getting them off the balance sheet to the point where they're a lean, mean fighting machine. they intend to retire a quarter of the share count by 2015.

that's just two years away. so when it reports, remember, if it goes down, i think that sell off stops at 84. so i think you should put the buy orders in once we hear the conference call, and if that's -- of course if it goes down. i'm not sure it will. here's the bottom line. the charts interpreted by bob lang and the fundamentals in alignment. i think you should seriously consider buying the stock. i say when they report, ready, set, buy. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol?

what makes for a perfect quarter? what has to be said in a conference call to lift the stock to the winner's circle biggest percentage gains? look no further than the one that went from 78 to 82 in one session. that call had it all. we heard magic words we don't hear from more than a handful of companies, they gave you a five year plan. a road map for strong projected cash flow that goes out five years. it was able to lay out a progressive dividend plan as well as a $10 billion repurchase program that is liable to be increased as time goes on. second, year to year revenue growth and expansion. over and over again we heard about companies producing terrific margins.

very few countries versus given us margin expansion and revenue growth. much came from new proprietary technology. schlumberger is breaking out with its competitors and allows them to get more oil out of the ground for less money. fourth, new markets. markets less lucrative. the business schlumberger gained in iraq and venezuela, yes, it was truly out standing. the company knows what we worry about and they made it clear that payments are coming through nicely. they said it in the call. these guys are so smart. a new spinning cycle has just begun. for five years the national oil companies and private ones are waiting for signs that the price of crude will remain elevated. they believe we enter an era of higher prices and that's triggering new clients as well as aggressive drilling in north america.

capital expenditure programs are increasing worldwide, russia, the middle east, saudi arabia and iraq as well as china and australia. sixth, revenue is expanding. in previous years we've seen more roll outs of drilling programs but they often required services to be given away in unattractive markets. that is, and i quote, obviously helping profitability. included in this mix, turn downs in business that's less profitable than they would like. something that can be done because the rest of the company is so strong. they grab the attention of buyers. there's massive competition for eyeballs right now. they're all looking for the same thing. exactly what they're giving them. growth and top and bottom line as well as fantastic visibility. that's how $100 billion company and another point today when so many companies reported and there's so little time to be able to differentiate between them. stay with cramer.
