6:00 pm
here. >> negotiator. >> yes. i like schlumberger. >> i'm melissa lee, thanks for watching. see you tomorrow for more "fast.""fast." "mad money" with jim cramer starts now. my mission is simple. to make you money. i'm here to level the playing field for all investors. there's always a bull market somewhere, and i promise to help you find it. "mad money" starts now. hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money." welcome to cramerica. other people want to make friends, i'm just trying to make you a little money. my job, entertain, educate, teach. call me, 1-800-743-cnbc. or tweet me nicely @jimcramer. why didn't this market get absolutely crushed from all the global worries today and friday? why are the averages down slightly? dow dropping, s&p
6:01 pm
declining .23%. and the nasdaq dipping .17% this session? frankly, there's no one answer that explains why stocks are so resilient here. this is a complex and complicated market. instead, there were a number of important factors at work. let's get to it. let's go over the reasons why the market hasn't been absolutely destroyed despite the crash of the malaysian airlines plane over ukraine and the ratcheting up of the anti-russia rhetoric by president obama and his people this weekend. pretty much, the market's decided for now that whatever sanctions we put on russia are not going to hurt the earnings of u.s.-based companies. now, i'm not so sure if the conventional wisdom here is correct yet. it's certainly right if the west, including the united states does nothing more than what we've already seen against russia. the current sanctions aren't going to hurt any company's earnings because i don't believe that putin is going to shut down, nationalize, or kick out the companies of any western countries that are looking to
6:02 pm
punish russia just yet. i think part of the reason why there's no corporate bite to these sanctions is simply because europe, it isn't suicidal. if you think like the europeans do, it's all well and good for president obama to talk about cutting russia out of the commerce equation, but it's europe that would bear the economic brunt of ostracizing the russians. and they don't want to do that. if russia cuts off the energy that fuels most of europe, we won't get cold here, but they will. you can't just tell them, hey, put on a sweater. oh, jimmy carter tried that. we don't get our natural gas from russia, they do. they could freeze if russia decides to retilluate against our sanctions that they joined. so we're held back by the shiver fear in europeans. if russia decides to stop trading with the u.s., u.s.-based companies will face cuts. i could see the russians kicking out mastercard and visa which have tens of billions of credit cards there. russia could put its own credit card system in place, something
6:03 pm
they boast about. so why aren't these stocks down big in anticipation of what happened? well, mastercard and visa have been adamant about nothing to worry about. we could also see some of the machinery companies get hurt and russia could kick out pepsico. as well as the other packaged goods and numbers. numbers will come down for the companies. but all of these estimate cuts will be telegraphed, and russia, again, isn't that big a driver to the earnings of u.s. companies. not that big of a country. most of the s&p 500 would not be directly impacted by tougher sanctions and the vast majority won't notice something's happened. people are reluctant to slam down the s&p futures knowing that a lot of companies in the s&p, by the way, a lot of the russell 2000 companies, they don't know where russia is. but europe would have boat load of companies that will miss the numbers if sanctions get too tough. i believe many european companies could be kicked out of russia starting with the oils,
6:04 pm
namely bp. plus, it's possible that europe's recovery could reverse entirely. throwing the continent back into recession. >> the house of pain. >> anyone that believes that europe's getting thrown back into recession irrelevant to our companies truly hasn't been paying attention for the last couple of years so many of the multinationals i follow did roughly on average 20% of their earnings from europe. the push back from russia on any really tough sanctions could cause these numbers to come down. that's another reason why i think the market's being too glib. sanctions will hurt our companies if europe's economy gets clobbered. i will say the market hasn't correctly assessed the downside yet and there's potentially more downside if the europeans decide to commit economic suicide by going along with president obama and hammering russia. but there's another reason why the stock market hasn't been demolished here. bonds, the flight to quality trade has sent interest rates low for bonds once again. and, you know, bonds look like
6:05 pm
they were going to go down and rates were going to go up until this. and that's been the endless trade. the one that really confounds. the bond market equivalent stocks do well. third reason for resilience, self-help. look at allergen today. they announced huge layoffs, put out an earnings per share forecast for 2016 which makes the stock seem very cheap, you have to wonder if you can do better by voting for the ceo than the hostile takeover. allergen's not going down, dave pyatt's right. same thing could happen tomorrow time warner, that company could issue very big projections that could make you think twice about how much you're going to get from fox versus staying with time warner. fourth reason, aside from the hostile merger attempts, we've got a number of deals occurring as a matter of course. there are so many acquisitions happening right now, we don't bother to talk about most of them. for example, did you hear anyone
6:06 pm
talk about how international game technology's being bought out? $4 billion. who cares? how about purchasing rockwood holdings. $6 billion acquisition, former chemicals power house. i don't know if it rated its own article. it's kind of like the tiny agate type about some relative call-up from the minors. fifth reason, the activists. very good activist hedge fund has taken up a position in emc, asked the company to fully spin off its fast-growing vmware subsidiary. the emc stock has been flat lining for a long time. this news sent it soaring. when companies were vulnerable, pressure from activists, you get very nervous if you aren't fully invested. sixth reason, my we've had some awfully good earnings. and those earnings have
6:07 pm
translated into higher prices. overshadowing the gaps by a large margin. it's hard to sit out of a market when so many companies beat out estimates and raise numbers. we've got this terrific theme going, the return of old tech. i think it's got staying power right through earnings season. and then how about this? stellar earnings from chipotle mexican grill after the bell and an astounding comparable store sales, that doesn't hurt either. stock up 10%. hey, guys, you know i love you, why don't you split the stock so people can do more than buy the burrito. seventh reason why the market hasn't been crushed, no ipos lately. remember when the new offerings were coming fast and furious? that's no longer the case. >> buy, buy, buy, buy! >> we're not seeing a lot of new stock for sale which helps keep the supply and demand in balance. but in many ways, it's the most important ingredient of a strong market. in the end, stocks are pieces of merchandise. when there's too much merchandise for sale, you get price cuts, plus the big buybacks. johnson & johnson this evening
6:08 pm
announced this $5 billion repurchase. it's about time the stock is down four straight points. they reported that good quarter. finally, the new fed chief's the same as the old one. no hurry to raise rates. no matter how many people say she's behind the curve because of rising inflation. she's waiting, she's patient, she will not be bullied by hedge funds that have a lot to gain if rates are driven up by the fed. there, i said it. i'm not saying this is a perilous situation right now. my view, i simply want to wait for lower prices before i do any more buying. if they sounds bearish to you, so be it. i think the consensus the positive's a little acute. if you took russia out of the equation, i'd be more sanguine, how can you do that? we got clobbered in cypress a couple of years ago. that was first ignored and what's happening now is a much bigger deal than that. there's no reason to panic and sell, but can we just be patient and wait for a better chance to
6:09 pm
buy? let me ask you, is that such a terrible, irrational risk? why don't we go to guy in new york? guy? >> caller: boo-yah, jimbo. >> boo-yah, guy. >> caller: this is your favorite nicknamed addict from new york city. how are you? >> i'm doing fine. how are you? >> caller: well, i'm getting killed, man. the good news keeps coming out and michael kors keeps going down! >> that's a controversial stock. my friend, buddy pal herb greenberg was on today, he's got a reality check report about it. i don't know, it's been going back to lawyers, whatever. it's been hard. i refer you to the 2:00 show. i'm not a buyer of kors. i'm not a fashion guy. i mean, well, i've got -- my daughter gave me a nice -- one of these ties, this for father's day. i'm not generally a fashion guy and i think that kors is a little too expensive. i don't need the controversy. we think this market's always right, that may not be the case. i say be patient. let it come in.

an industrial company that makes everything from climate control systems, security equipment, specialty materials, turbo chargers that can significantly boost your car's gas mileage, and refining catalysts that allow oil refineries to get more gasoline or diesel out of a given barrel of crude. honeywell's an incredibly run company. so it's no wonder that when honeywell reported last friday, delivered an excellent quarter. 2 cent earnings beat off $1.36 basis, and management also raised the low end of the full-year earnings forecast. the company's transportation and universal oil products division really soared, just incredible. even though honeywell made an new all-time high, it's given you an 8% gain at the end of january, it's got more room to run. don't take it from me. let's check in with dave cote to hear more about the quarter and his company's prospects. mr. cote, welcome back to "mad money." >> always nice to see you, jim. >> this is it, dave, the most optimistic, you didn't talk about things that were
6:15 pm
happening, green shoots down the road. you talked about great position in good industries, that's kind of a new rap i heard from you on that. >> our business model from the beginning. i've always said, we have like a three-legged stool, if you will to our business model. the first is to have a great portfolio to roll with. and that starts with great positions in good industries. then we focus on our internal processes, or as i put it, you've got to make sure the machinery works every day. if they can't get implemented quickly and effectively, doesn't matter. and then our culture. if culture is what gives sustainability. >> processing -- >> right. >> if this was not -- there's no caveats beginning at this call, dave. come on, you always say, if i were more bullish, this and that. you didn't say that. i'm not trying to jinx you. >> i'm thinking maybe i should go back and start add juing juso make sure. >> the last quarter, i wasn't
6:16 pm
happy you felt -- you were too pessimistic versus the facts. and this one i felt was a very straightforward call. but what i loved about it was that you -- that all of the divisions are hitting on all cylinders. >> yeah, actually, this was a nice quarter in that way. it's like, we had some -- you know, on the organic growth side. we had couple of glitches, i'd say, in the first quarter for how it went and defense, we got whacked in the first quarter. we took a look at the second quarter and everybody was doing well. and very much on the path. >> and you said defense has now run its course, the negatives. >> third quarter should return to growth. and same thing next year. >> i thought you had a great quote in here. you said that for energy, energy, you design, you're designing to get more valuable products from every barrel of oil and for coal and natural gas. you are the company that is allowing dirty, so-called dirty oil become clean gasoline, right? >> well, we do a lot of things. for example, if you take a look at a barrel of oil, what you would see is everything that you
6:17 pm
want to get is out of there. the vocs, the gasoline, diesel, bunker fuel, asphalt, everything is in a barrel of oil. the real trick is to get as much of the valuable stuff out of that as you can so you don't need as much oil in total. >> right. right. >> also means, how do you allow a barrel of oil to whatever you do refine to be, say, really low sulfur when it comes to ceasebe diesel or gasoline. >> china business is strong again. >> yeah, we are doing very well in china. in fact, last year, china became our number one country for sales outside the u.s. and it's all because we've been focused on becoming local or what i call becoming the chinese competitor. our sales year-to-date and for the total year will be up about 10% today for china. >> you also, look, you deliver the numbers, free cash flow plus 28%, how is that possible? no, honestly, come on. i'm looking, people say, jim, why didn't you like the ge call
6:18 pm
this morning? i don't know, it was kind of okay. i need to see free cash flow, you can't get that. >> i'm a big cash guy myself. >> i know you are. i was surprised. >> we focused on cash for 12 years. starts first with high-quality earnings. because if you don't have high-quality earnings, you're not going to have cash. and as you know, we're investing capex in the business, and with that, our cash flow has been very good and is going to continue to be good. >> well, don't you think it's interesting that a lot of companies -- i like dividends, you know that. the capital allocation wasn't the theme in this quarter in terms of how much dividend. because every business, the dollar end of the business is giving you great return. >> oh, we're getting great return. some of the chemical plant investments, when you look at the amount of money and these are 30%, 40% type irr projects, you say we'd be in insane not to put money into this. this is going to generate an unbelievable return for our shareholders. >> what is it like right now in the gulf area, the refining?
6:19 pm
>> booming. it's booming. when you look at everything else in the u.s. and you talk about unemployment or wage growth or anything else, it's not the problem in the gulf. and i'd say the gulf has got two things. one of the things they've done is, of course, they happen to be the locusts of activity for this. the other thing is, those states work very aggressively to be business friendly. >> yeah. that's what matters. >> the whole idea of, gee, business is a good thing for society or as you put it, we should be celebrating business. and i'm not saying everything we do is good. i understand that. but at the end of the day, if you take a look at our 200 plus-year history, the reason americans live so long is government enabled business to be successful. >> i don't want the environmentalists to think -- i know you're an environmentalist and i'm an environmentalist, i don't want anyone to think you're not involved in this. you mentioned algae is for real. how many years out? >> oh, no, we can do that today.
6:20 pm
>> this is an amazing story. >> yeah, this is really the ability to make oil, let's say a drop-in diesel fuel that you can actually put in your car, you can put in a plane. it's not hazardous. it doesn't need to be blended, it's not corrosive like normal biodiesel, this is the real deal, drop-in replacement. we can make that from algae, seaweed, almost anything -- >> you guys, honeywell can. >> we can do this. now, interestingly, the cost of processing a barrel of algae oil is about the same as it is for a barrel of petroleum oil. it really is. it's not the cost of processing. >> what are we doing? >> the issue is accumulation. so you look at the oil industry, they've had 100 years. >> right. >> trillions of dollars, and they've invested huge pipelines, super tankers, everything else. you take a look at the -- say algae industry or the agricultural side, where a
6:21 pm
4-inch pipeline was a big deal in the oil industry. it hasn't developed yet. >> okay. >> and what it does, it's real. >> but the government backs solar. why isn't the government doing something on algae? >> yeah, i would say the whole solar wind thing, as you know, i've always looked at it and said, it needs to get to a point where it's not tax credits that make it effective. and that's why we've always been nervous about investing in those areas. anything you have to depend on for the government to make it viable is not a place we want to be. but this is real. this is going to happen. >> but you have to be impressed that the deficit has come down. i know that you're -- >> oh, yeah. this is a nice direction for this to be in. we shouldn't confuse that, though, with the problem is solved. my generation is still retiring. >> you're not retiring for ages, please don't mention the word retire. >> i love my job. but if you take a look at the baby boomers, we are retiring, and just that alone is going to swamp the system. and that's coming. even if you look at cbo forecasts, you see it go down a little bit and goes back up
6:22 pm
again. >> wow. well, i know it does. but it's still, it's -- everything's on a nice trajectory right now. >> certainly is. >> honeywell absolutely is. you should read the pack. you should read the deck. it's what happens when american business does it right. after the break, i'll try to make you more money. coming up, a different angle. from professional athletes to amateurs, everyone seems to love go pro's wearable cameras. and that apparently includes investors as the stock has soared after becoming public. but is it too hot to handle? cramer's giving it a close-up.
6:25 pm
after a day where the market got dinged, what can you buy into weakness? how about a company that's gone out of its way to take control of its own destiny? i'm talking about martin marietta materials. mlm. boring company, hey, how about a moneymaker? maker of aggregates for the infrastructure and construction industries. basically, martin marietta is all about rocks. makes asphalt, concrete and cement. in the past, i've told you the aggregate business is picking up thanks to the rebound in nonresidential construction.
6:26 pm
i said it's competitive of volcker materials. but earlier today martin marietta did something that put mlm right at the top. what happened? at the end of january, martin marietta announced it was buying texas industries. a texas and california based aggregates play that mainly makes cement, all stock deal worth $2 billion. this deal closed less than three weeks ago july 2nd. i think this is a transformational deal. makes martin marietta a heck of a lot more attractive. we've seen that acquisitions have proven to be a terrific way for companies to create value in this market. i think this texas industry's transaction of martin marietta's. i think it would be no different. that's part of the reason the stock has rallied 25%, but the stock has pulled back seven points from the high in recent weeks. that's why i want you to jump on it. more room to run. not only does this acquisition give martin marietta greater scale, many opportunities for cost cutting, but more importantly, it gives the
6:27 pm
company a lot more exposure to the rapidly growing texas market. now that the deal is closed, the new martin marietta gets 34% of the sales from texas, huge positive. remember, texas is right at the heart of the current domestic oil and gas renaissance thanks to the huge finds in the eagleford and permian basin. right now, all the oil and gas means we're seeing a massive buildout in chemicals, natural gas facilities, drilling support structure. and all of this new infrastructure requires aggregat aggregates. and thanks to the acquisition, martin marietta's primed to get a ton of this business. same time when martin marietta bought texas industries, they acquired a company with a lot of room for operational improvements. historically, realized much lower prices than the competitors. we're talking about a 20% discount an average, 4% discount in cement. in part, that's because the strategy at texas industries have been to build out new low-cost capacity in order to boost sales. martin marietta is changing that
6:28 pm
strategy. their plan is to improve distribution and price discipline at texas industries, which should allow them to boost margins dramatically at the company they've acquired. we've seen this so many times, that's called consolidation. oh, and the deal should generate $70 million in pretax synergies by 2017. so i really like what martin marietta's done with this acquisition. i wouldn't be recommending the stock if that was really the only positive. see the aggregate business is notoriously cyclical, meaning when the economy's in bad shape, this industry suffers. when the economy's improving, the earnings for companies explode higher. and this is right at the point in the cycle where you want to have an aggregates company in your portfolio. now, we know that the construction business in this country started picking up dramatically. look at the terrific performance of caterpillar in america. or even better, last week united rentals, beautiful number. this is particularly true in texas, which is martin mariet marietta's backyard. any kind of construction requires their wears. as you can't lay down a
6:29 pm
foundation without concrete, some other type of aggregate. meanwhile, all the rock companies like this one are some extent dependent on the feds. that's because a major part of the business is related to road building and dependent on whether or not congress can pass a highway bill. in 2009, the last big highway bill expired. and for years afterwards, washington couldn't get its act together and this stock languished. 2012, june, finally got a new highway built, authorized $24 billion annually. that money didn't really start flowing until a bit less than a year ago. the other thing is that in the 2012 highway bill, the government massively boosted funding for tifia. and it was a federal loan program designed to spur infrastructure investments. before, the program was to the tune of $221 million per year. the government's providing $1 billion, $7.5 infrastructure loans. some people were worried that congress wouldn't be able to pass some kind of fix.
6:30 pm
but just last week, the house of representatives approved a $10.8 billion highway repair bill which will provide enough funding for the next ten months. it'll easily pass the senate before they recess in august. another reason i wanted to do this piece tonight. last december, i told you volken and steam x were my favorites, but a month later, martin marietta announced the conviction. since then, it's outperformed both of the stocks. i believe that outperformance will continue as the market still isn't baking in all the benefits from the deal. even up here, martin marietta trades at a 30% discount on 2016 earnings. that premium deserves to shrink and shrink dramatically. all that said, major caveat, company reports monday. last time the company reported at the end of april, stock roared higher, not recommending this as a trade on the quarter. i like it as a long-term investment. i suggest you put half of your position on this week and if martin marietta gets slammed for some reason after it reports next monday, use the weakness to buy more, 2015's going to be
6:31 pm
real good. here's the bottom line. nonresidential construction is starting to rebound dramatically in this country. likely to have a fully funded highway trust for the next ten months. good news for the rock companies. martin marietta thanks to the texas industries acquisition. just remember that the company reports a week from now. put part of your position on before the quarter. this is a longer term play, people. how about ken in illinois? ken? >> boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah, ken. >> caller: i'm interested in freeport mcmoran. i bought it when it crashed and sold it a couple years later. >> i think you should. my charitable trust is in it. the original spur for the idea came from the tremendous teacher of technical skills, and i've got to tell you, i think that this one has multiple years now that i think it's finally gotten behind both the oil and copper company. and i really think it is the
6:32 pm
real deal. living in a material world. i think martin marietta materials would give you rock hard profits. you may want to put on part of your position before the company reports on monday. still more "mad money" ahead. gopro had the it gadget right now. is it a one-trick pony or more in store? and pacemaker player hit a new lifetime high. but then it's pulled back, can it keep the momentum alive? plus, whoever said lightning doesn't strike twice in the same studio never watched this show.
6:35 pm
this morning, this morning i ordered a kergo true fit smart dog harness with quick-release buckles, large, black, i'm doing it so i can attach a gopro camera to the harness so i can see through the eyes of our two dogs, a pug and a mutt. i intend to get another to hook to a post so i can watch my string beans grow as they seem to twirl several inches a night on the stakes i put up this weekend.
6:36 pm
then i plan to put them on youtube for you to see. i want people to know what bug and everest see. i want you to watch my string beans grow. welcome to the eco system of gopro. the device maker that's going to sell millions and millions of cameras. not just surfers, bmx bikers and skaters, but to sedentary folk like me. why not? the stuff is as cool as all get out and i think it'll interest people. moreover, from @jimcramer on twitter, people love my garden. can you imagine if my garden's moving? i know i want to try out anything gopro has because i like the brand. i think it's topnotch, pristine. in fact, i think that go pro works in a gazillion settings. anyway, it worked for me as i dangled between a drill support ship and an oil platform in the gulf. and believe me, if kergo had a harness for a giant african tortoise, then cactus would be sporting one, too.
6:37 pm
that would make another terrific gopro short as she sprinted toward the watermelon. i like the products so much, but unlike everyone else in there buying, i can't purchase in the company because i'm not allowed to own stock and gopro's not fitting for my charitable trust, a little speculative. who knows what gopro is worth. i don't think it's a fad, but i also don't know if many would buy more than one. plus, lots of people seem to have no interest at all. the good news is, the company's making money. rolled out numbers, give it a 53 priced to earnings multiple. current growth could be much faster than that and 53 on the out year. according to a survey which shows there's a great deal of penetration ahead. tam total addressable market. i hate investing with that sky high multiple because the downside's going to be enormous. i do know this thing is hot. and those who buy the stock will probably get to reap the benefits of a truly explosive coming quarter.
6:38 pm
maybe even two of them as capture devices according to piper are quote, still in the early stages of growth. and this company is transforming again, quote, for the camera selfie generation to a content enabler. think everest, think bug, think cactus. however, even piper admits there could be competition down the road and the growth may not stay as high as it is now. in the interim, i can see it as a great trade into the quarter, honestly, absolutely. the first real speed bump when the insiders can sell. might be like twitter when the insider selling could hurt the darn thing. that's so out in the future it's kind of a bit of a who cares situation right now. what can i say? gopro's got real momentum, i'm not being facetious. at least for now, maybe that's all you need to know. and wait until you see those dog and string bean movies. michael in connecticut, michael? >> hey, jim, how are you?
6:39 pm
>> i'm really good, michael, how about you? >> not too bad. >> listen, i've got a small position, and i'm thinking about adding to it. i want to know if the yield is safe. and if i should add to that position. >> what was the stock? >> caller: rrd. >> oh, r.r. donnelly. i like it. i think it's been oversold, i think the company has a long range strategy. i would not give up on rrd. i think the yield is safe. we've spoken to them, and i think it's a pretty good situation. all right, not just a flash in the pan here. when it comes to shares at gopro, we won't know until the insiders can sell. but for now, it's real. and that may be all you need to know. standby, your calls are next on the "lightning round." stay with cramer. the cadillac summer collection is here.

when a company reports a strong quarter and stock goes lower, should we be concerned? or maybe it's a weakness as a buying opportunity situation. that's the question facing st. jude med, the cardiovascular medical device company that makes pacemakers, vascular plugs, drug eluding stents. st. jude had been on fire. rallied 17% in 2013, up another 8% year-to-date. that's because this is a terrific business. company controls a quarter of the management business and it has a fabulous pipeline and new products that should boost sales
6:51 pm
and earnings for years to come. lately, though, the stock's been punished, dropped down to $67 today. last wednesday, st. jude reported better than expected, 2 cent earnings beat off $1 basis, rose 3% year-over-year, the company raised its full-year sales and earnings guidance, but some people say it's -- its prediction for the next quarter was to the downside which is why the stock went down on the news and hasn't been able to find the footing since. they're seeing serious competition in the management business. is st. jude a buy into the recent pullback? let's take a closer look with daniel starks, the chairman and ceo of st. jude med, find out more about the quarter. welcome back to "mad money." >> boo-yah, jim. thank you very much for having me on your show, i feel very privileged. >> thank you, dave. you've made two acquisitions. both of them, i think you're going to substantially change the st. jude med we think of right now. can you give me what the company looks like in 2015 versus right now? >> well, our goal -- we're not
6:52 pm
giving guidance yet for 2015, but in 2015, we expect to have the benefit of a number of new products that we look to to help accelerate our sales growth on a sustainable basis. the most important of those new products relates to one of our recent acquisitions. that's our acquisition to cardio mems. and it's a potentially breakthrough technology to help physicians reduce the level of hospital readmission rates for a very population of heart failure patients. we have a very significant clinical evidence that demonstrates with the benefit of our technology, technology that is available only from st. jude medical, that we can reduce the level of revolving door hospital readmissions for a certain class of heart failure patients by as much as 37%. so this is something that is good for patients, it's good for payers, it's good for health care economics all around the
6:53 pm
world. >> and that's in part because right now you have to -- if you're a hospital company, you're worried about the penalty if you don't get that reduction, right? >> you're exactly right. medicare and we expect private payers to follow has a program specifically designed to penalize or reward health care providers depending on the relative readmission rates that health care providers have for a class of diseases. the most important of which is heart failure. so not only is this technology good for patients, but this technology is very significant for health care providers in the united states because of the medicare hospital readmission reduction program that provides for a very significant penalty of all medicare reimbursements for that health care provider if that health care provider readmits has less success
6:54 pm
keeping heart failure patients out of the hospital. and that's exactly what our technology is designed to do. it's designed to help health care providers keep heart failure patients out of the hospital by staying ahead of the disease in a way that helps the patient feel better, as well as helps reduce the number of times that a patient with advanced heart failure returns to the hospital. >> i think it's just gigantic for st. jude. i have to ask you as i discuss this with my friend david faber in the morning. st. jude got hit by the excise tax, which was unbelievable. do you feel disadvantaged by the fact that medtronic is changing its tax regime by buying kovidian? >> well, we're simpympathetic t the trouble they had and its attempting to solve with the maneuvers recently made public and this inversion and becoming a foreign corporation rather than a u.s.-based corporation. we're sympathetic to those
6:55 pm
problems. any time one taxpayer reduces its tax burden through a maneuver that may reduce taxes, we always are concerned about increasing the burden on the remaining taxpayers that are continuing to pay a full share of taxes. a consideration for us. but i think the bigger issue is the u.s. corporate tax policy generally. it's because of a -- such a burdensome. we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. we have -- it's a significant disadvantage for every u.s.-based company. medtronic works to improve its position with the -- by becoming a nonu.s.-based company. we won't do that. we'll continue to be a u.s.-based company, but we'll continue to work through the appropriate channels to -- to help develop u.s. corporate tax policy that makes more sense and
6:56 pm
increases the number of jobs we can help create here in the united states that helps us continue to improve the volume of exports where one of the leading exporters, the medical device industry in the united states is one of the leading export industries. the last number i saw, the favorable balance of trading to the tune of about $46 billion not an industry that should be penalized with high taxes the excise tax. >> i totally agree with you. dan said the same thing the secretary of treasury last week, i want to thank you so much. i think the company looks terrific for 2015, which is the way our investors should be thinking about. thank you so much, dan starks, chairman, president and c ceo of st. jude medical. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> people don't think about the next month. think about the next year. it's real good. "mad money's" back after the break.
