motivation for this firing. agree with karen. it sounds like there is partisanship here. i think markets will care about that. >> we will see tomorrow, guys. thanks for watching, i'm melissa lee. meantime, do not 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. some people want to make friends, i want to make you money. i'm not just here to entertain you, i'm here to educate you and teach you. email me or tweet me. have we become too complacent? is that what the covolatility

index is telling us? i think we have to ask this question on another rather sedate day. so where the heck did all the fear go? and more importantly, should this lack of caution be making us nervous? let's unpack the situation, next we know the vix measures the level of volatility, that traders are expecting in the near future. it's often viewed as an index of the overall level of fear in the marketplace. some people think it's out of date. since these days there are many other ways to bet against the market. more efficient ways, frankly. in other words the fear gauge may not be as relevant as it

once was. but the vix may not be obsolete. while the s&p 500 is much more representative of the broader market. i always mention it at the top of the show, and given that it broke down below 10 today, it's a signal that there is a lot les fear now than at any time in a decade. we have to deal with this. are we right to not be afraid? so a certain degree yes, the market hasn't moved much in ages, and it's reasonable to think that it won't. and these intraday swings, it seems like they banned them. when the market's this gentlneg investors start asking if there's going to be a major decline. why haven't there been bigger moves? for starters, the economy is at

last healthy, like it was in 2006. it's no longer on life support. which means we don't need to worry that the fed is going to send us into a recession if it keeps raising interest rates as we expect. that was a rational fear for a long time. central began banks have often crushed growth by raising rates. now that we have a uniform belief that the economy can indeed handle a couple of rate hikes, maybe they would even be good for the markets. second, whether you love frump -- trump or hate him, it is thu that he's the best pro business president. a bunch of important white house positions are filled with goldman-sachs alums. i'm a goldman-sachs alum.

whatever. maybe you fear that this administration fears labor over capital. and favoring capital means these guys favor higher stock prices, sure, trump could saber rattle. but his bark is certainly worse than his bite, so far. thirdly, the rest of the world has finally calmed down. asia is strong, europe is improving, even south america has improved. fourth, an oil shock which had been a source of volatility many times, now seems out of the question given our own massive reserves of crude. bringing money in almost on autopilot has eliminated a lot of the massive flows in and ou a that used to cause volatility. finally we're getting through an

earnings season where the shocks to the down side have been few and forward between. let's see, there's ibm, yelp, some oils. that's really it. that said, none of these successful indications show a lack of fear. for examp i tell my club members that it would not be unusual if we had a selloff. i mean, when you think about it, we have to have a selloff of magnitude at a certain point. i have never seen a period like that doesn't end with something coming out of left field to take us lower, just saying. one thing's for certain, that the fed's going to raise interest rates that bonds will become healthy competition. although if the yeelgz we main

at 10%. we may be all honky dory about the fed at the moment, but there may come a time when its movers may promote some atmosphere. finally, it's not like the world suddenly became a certain place. it's uncertain. with an unproven president, a lot of people around the world who wish us ill, both physically and economically. after months and months of little movement, i don't want to say that we don't get any major declines again, that would be rank foolishness. i'm pretty sure whatever event does trigger a decline, will not be something you and i have foreseen. i recommend keeping some cash on the sideline. in the end, you have to expect the unexpected. you want to recognize how few people are worried.

but consider this. the one thing the vix doesn't measure, for sure doesn't measure s how many hedge funds out there are actually betting against both this market and individual stocks every second and minute of the day. there were so many other times in my career, where the number of large funds with big positions were few and far between. now i see it's the exact opposite. when i see ceos of big companies on the air, they like the market. the vast majority i pay attention to, here's what they're thinking, they're either calling for a crash, or they believe we're on the verge of a giant downturn. i think if we had an actual poll of hedge funds, we would find overwhelming negativity about this market, because it's too high, the valuation is too expensive. it needs to come down.

the hedge funds are probably off the chart office this run. maybe in the end that's why the market doesn't seem to want to come down big, too many of the big boys expect it too. the bottom line, that expressive hedge fund activity is the reason i can embrace to explain why the big decline has been so elusive. that meaay be the mentality of l the big boys that stabilize on the dip. that may look like the need to buy something, anything, before the move goes back up. roland in new york. rola roland? >> caller: i'm pretty much a value investor and these days it's pretty difficult to find some good values out there. one that i came across recently and took a small position in, was kroger, kr, what's your thought about that stock?

>> kroger needs price inflation, i know costco is predicting that. i don't mind sitting with kroger, it's a good company, don't expect anything to exceed price inflation, that's what they need. l let's go to alex in oregon. >> caller: you featured tellurian, i jumped in, it's down about 40% from where it was. that's tll. how do you feel about that? >> look, i think he's a winner. now the stock has come down, but liquefied and natural gas, it's a real business, it's a very strong business, and i think suki is a smart man, i'm not going to go against him. how about kyle in new jersey. >> caller: jd.com, they had a

can'tati expectations. >> i think outdoor brands is a winner. i have been watching outdoor brands put up big numbers, i have been right some of the time and wrong some of the time. but i have not abandoned it. too many of the big guys expect the market to go down. but there are othersothers -- a oil prices dropped, are we in for a crude reality when it comes to crude? i think it is a chart derived district. the chart has the makings of a great short. and can allergan's recent rally signify that it's down tonight. stick with cramer.

welcome to holiday inn! ♪ ♪ whether for big meetings or little getaways,

not too long ago, our stock market was totally hostage to the prying of oil. when crud went up, stock went up, as crude went down, stock wasn't down. the average it seems like crude may have finally figured it out. maybe they have gotten it figured out that maybe the fluctuations in the oil price may be based on supply and demand? what happens if it starts declining into the lower 30s. as long as oil stays here in

the mid 40s, we're safe, in part because our domestic producers have done better at getting more crude out of the ground more less money. still we need to know where this is headed. we're going off the charts with carly garner. she's the co-founder of carly trading, and she's the author of "higher probability commodity trading" because she's got a terrif terrific track record when it comes to oil. after rallying up to the mid 50s last month, it came dawn to the mid 40s, as she indicated it could do. what does she think now that it's at the low end of the range? i want you to take a look at this daily chart of west texas intermediate crude. look at the williams percentage r oscillator down at the bottom. that's a tool created by

commodity trader legend larry williams. according to the r oscillator, the market is indeed oversold. this is an indicator that it's down below 30. when crude gets down to these levels, it gets this oversold, garner says it's the kiss of death for a bear market. although oil generally retests it's lows or even makes slightly lower lows before rebounding, that's crucial. garner suspects this time to be no different. so there's a little bit of a breakdown, a little bit of a breakdown. in short, she's betting on another leg down before we bounce, but we will bounce. oil is supporting the low of $43 if either one of these hold,

garner expects it to be right bag to $50. this is how it's been for months. it's been down in the 40s, then we bounce right back to the 50s, it's happened over and over and over. garner's picture shows similar support level s where she expecs things to turn around. last week's breakdown below $46 should pave the way in near term liquidation in oil futures. the one big difference with the weekly price, the relative strength index, and the r oscillator, still have a bit more to go. these are not as oversold as the daily was, both these tools indicate that these could have some negative momentum. but if the price of crude can bounce from the many support levels in the low 40s, garner could see it again rally back to

50, where it would run into the ceiling of resistance. what else do we need to consider? some traders were trading in the high 30s. and it's subsequent rebound point to a reversal in crude, that the turn around is already upon us, but garner has a few reasons to be consistent kl that the bottom has already been seen. look rat this weekly chart of west texas crude. the cot report. regular viewers know that this tells us about the net long or short positions of three key groups, the large speculators, meaning money managers, small speculators, meaning home gamers and small companies. when the big boys amass a large net long position, it usually means there's pain ahead,

because there's no one left to buy, they're already in. when they've got a huge net short position, there's nowhere to rebound. garner says that the large speculator cohort has been bullish no matter what. and even after this recent decli decline, they remain way too bullish. see the line is still way up here. when crude was in the mid 50ss, these institutional investors we were trading in the high 40. garner believes it's like ly around 340,000, 350,000. after the recent 10 point decline, you better believe these money managers are feeling uneasy. and that's why garner believes that crude could have a low

point in the 40s. what she's saying is it's still going to do exactly what did before. look at the seasonal chart for garner points to the fact that oil trades -- the large speculators still have too much oil exposure to say that we can do some real buying. the price of oil is strongly dependent on the action of the currency markets. so a strong green back translates into cheaper oil. this is the dollar index, which tracks the u.s. dollar against a host of other major currencies, the dollar puts in a weight of 150. there's the bottom, bottom and

up. she thinks that could swing the dollar index up to higher trading and that will also put pressure on the price of oil. carly garner suggests that oirl probably isn't finished going down, but bunonce it gets to $4 barrel, it should go back up. [vo] when it comes to investing,

hey, it's tough to be a short seller in this environment. just look at the travel space. we seem to have the makings of an ideal short. with airplane reservations experiencing precipitous declines after president trump announced his ban on travellers from several muslim countries or call it a pseudomuslim band. you had to assume that anything related to it was going to plummet in the quarter. so why not bet against this $250 billion industry, especial. and our market's starved for good short selling ideas, here at last was one with real

staying power and it would take you right from april to may, or at least it would look like that. it only got better after united and continental's drag-a-thon occurred. of course the courts halted both executive orders with al lack contributity, and those who bet against the travel space are on the ropes now with sharply better than expect eed numbers. take marriott, they reported numbers that were simply incredible. marriott revealed that it has a pipeline of 400,000 rooms that they're planning on building, th that stocks flew up to 6 bucks. and then traffic up 7%, lots of positive chatter about on time

planes, which is why the board hired oscar munos as ceo to begin with. munos ran a railroad, now how to get it in on time. the stocks are up about 10% in the aftermath. mean this wiredly watched incident meant nothing for the -- some of this could have been predicted. i had the ceo of expedia on the show last week in san francisco. he indicated that business was robust in the last few months. marriott vacation, you know we love that one, the timeshare spin off marriott had similar comments. any one of these could have tipped you off that travel is in go good shape. and of course the cruise lines, they have been delivering fantastic quarters.

you can argue that all this is just penalty up demand after they dropped briefly. i don't think that's the real story. i think people are spending more money on trips than they are on goods. that money may just be coming out of retail. travel is as experiential as it gets, meaning it's something you can put on your facebook page. no wonder that travel and ease your stocks have been defying the short sellers. that they're the act right place to be. let's go to bruce indiana, hey, bruce. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i have a question. i have walmart at 57, 18 months ago. now it's around 77. should i stay or should i sell? >> it's really up just a little bit, when they cratered the earnings when they said they were going to go deeper into e

come. i do not want you to sell it. . >> caller: i bought avp and now they've lost 60%. >> just keep it as a call option or maybe on a term. but that was a sub par quarter so far. the travel industry is robust, experiential and just plain flying high, sorry short sellers. i have a conversation with the ceo of allergen, the stock is up 20% this year. and then xpo lodge gist sticks is behind the sup player chains for costco and home depot. and all your calls rapid fire, tonight's edition of "the lightning round" so stick with cramer.

you've got to learn all you can... ...to help protect yourself from dvt and pe blood clots. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know.

some companies just don't get nearly enough respect. that's how i felt about all le n allergan, reported an excellent earnings report today, it had higher than expect it revenue, more importantly management raised their full year forecast for both the top and the bottom line. the company's got a good pipeline, coming in with $13 billion in retail sales. however, allergan stocks sold off hard today, shedding $3.44. because of concerns of operating margins and cash flows that some felt were below expectations.

let's talk to the chairman and ceo of allergan, welcome back to "mad money." let's go over some of the things that people heard and said, because i don't think they tell the story, but i want people to understand why a stock went down. first $1.1 billion in cash flow, many people thought it would be 1.5 to 2. >> we did a deal for crisper technology. and we closed take deal. you'll start to see $1.5 billion to $2 billion next quarter. >> and the second one was lower margins, because you're struggling to build more drugs

here. >> q-1 was our lowest sales quarter. when you have lower sales, you have lower margins, put on that a little bit of product mix, as we have some higher royalty for products growing faster like linzest and others. that margin should improvprove throughout the year as well. >> you have this pipeline, let's talk about what's the biggest up in the pipeline, you're in development progress for six-star programs and it could produce some blockbusters. >> is that's right. so we do have six programs in r and d that are either in face p three or going into phase three. there's a novel break through treatment for depression. huge market, and we really like the profile of this drug for

depression, very different than current standard of care. we have a new standard of treatment for amd. we know that was an improvement from four weeks, to six weeks, this could be 12-week dosing. so big change. and we finished enrollment in that study. we have our new novel treatment for nash. very large market, high on that need, and we'll be moving forward there. and for uterine fibroids, already approved outside the united states and then the first in class drug for diabetic gastrofrere sis. no real new drugs in three years. >> to me it's an insanely large pirp line.

but people want to know about the aesthetics, and this stuff could have huge close margins. >> the aesthetics was very strong in the quarter, it's been strong for years now, quarter after quarter as quarter. >> i felt there was an acceleration, i was upset that the stock went down. i think at aesthetics is just bet rock at 2018. >> after putting strong growth quarter after quarter year after year. strong return on botox. kybella, starting to perform. we now have cool scoping. >> i want you to talk about this. because i think this is gigantic. frankly some of your stuff, i think that people don't know it yet. >> they do because lots of people are using it. but our penetration rates are so small still. so we have that massive market,

but so many potential customers patients out there. and we're seeing more young people into the medical aesthetics, people are putting it on snap chap, facebook, instagram. we're seeing males start to move into the market. in fact 30% of all cold scoping patients are men. which is 10% for botox. >> and how do people get to that? t do they go to a dermatologist? general practitioner? >> if anybody googled cool scoping in their city, they can find a whole list of providers. it's available everywhere in the united states. people will be able to download the brighter distinctions app to find a provider. >> one of the many reasons why i like the company and the stock,

because there is a selfie generation. for instance, i would love it if you would buy align, but you guys have soup to nuts for how to look better. and that is something that as we have learned from the line, it gets younger and younger people hear about these things. but i'm wondering, how are you going to get the worth out? not just google. don't you do an active campaign for something like this. >> we do and we get a multiplier effect on each of our dollars. because each office, plastic surgeon, dermatologist also advertises, they advertise on their own dollar or sometimes from allowances from us. they're good at social media, they're good at buying billboards and tv time. we have a very large national campaign for kybella right now, we have a national campaign for

botox. we are just scratching the surface. that technology works, it's a high customer satisfaction score. >> there's so much here. brent saunders, president and ceo of aller beg lelerganallerg. i do believe you get a bargain here, it's up from the bottom, but it's going to have an unbelievable 2017 and 2018.
