>> what did you think of the georgia/oklahoma game? >> college football at its best except for the alabama/clemson >> who won >> so there. alabama trounced clemson roll tide. my mission is simple to make you money. i'm here to level the playing field for all investors. there is always a bull market somewhere. "mad money" starts now. welcome to "mad money." welcome to cramerica. my job is not just to entertain but educate, teach, put it in context. call me or tweet me at jim cramer. bored with the rally.

i swear people are bored with what is going on with the stocks including today where the dow gained 105 points. nasdaq falling 1.5%. you know what i feel like doing when i see these numbers they are all napping. they are napping. either they don't want to say anything good about the market because of politics as the president has done a good job of linking himself with the performances of the averages or they are prone to sleep. no matter how good stocks get it doesn't seem to hit their radar screen. i was on the case last week. san diego not bad. all i heard was bit coin, bit coin and bit coin. cramer, how about bit coin. cramer, bit coin, is it too late is it too early? never stop. the market is an abstraction for most people. the truth is if you are bored by

this incredible rally may i suggest that you get your head examined >> all aboard. >> 53% of the people in this country have exposure to stocks. while i wish more americans could afford to participate in wealth creation that is the stock market. 53% is a lot of people. if you are one of them you should be feeling real good after last year's run. >> house of pleasure. >> you feel good about retirement. you feel good about travel, money for college. you feel good about paying down debt with profits. you feel good about buying a car or a house or doing a renovation. not feeling good about sleeping for heaven's sake. there are stocks that fit into every aspect of that. that is what wealth creation is all about. that is what progress is all about. is it related to president trump's policies

love him or hate him the answer is yes. the president creates an environment that will take money from the government and give it to the corporations. i know what they are going to do with it. they will move their stock up whether they use it to expand or buy back stock it will be good for stock prices. this is "mad money" not mad politics. that's another network. just look at the president's tweets. he is as hands on about the stock market as obama was hands off. he never wanted to take any credit. the market is so important to trump that i'm surprised he doesn't tweet about stocks having to fall. wal-mart is not up today. why don't you buy some when i was a judge for the apprentice i was asked what is really going on. all i can tell you is that i was shocked at how competitive trump was about his tv show and how much he cared about his ratings. now he has a stock market for

ratings systems. like it or not those ratings are off the charts. no fake news there. plenty of opinion makers from states like new york, new jersey, illinois and california that are pretty darn glum about their finances. >> the house of pain. >> despite the dow being up. their new found inability and will find whatever gains in the stock market. i wish i had the same local deduction back, too. bummer. that doesn't change the fact that the markets -- what makes it so great? after prolonged period where facebook, apple, amazon, netflix and google, they were taking a nap, too. like today there has been a fire lit underneath them all day. we talk about profit taking. the stocks indicate profit

taking over 2017. how do i know this in the morning's research we didn't get anything about facebook or amazon, nothing. those stocks rallied $5, $19 and $20 respectively. positive narrative about netflix. apparently people around the world like netflix, who knew app apple got defense about battery gate and suggesting sales are on plan allowing stock to advance three bucks. that is a big difference from the survey indicating apple's new phone sales have fallen behind. how many times have you heard these negative surveys i think they faked out people dozens of times. they are classic buy high, sell low generators. i can't remember one that was

ever positive. and battery gate. most amazing thing is people thought apple would just hang customers out to dry. as i always say apple is the only consumer product company which means it wants customer satisfaction. that is what the company is about. hello. that's why i wish apple stock was covered by the same analyst. general mills, that kind of valuation, $171 stock can sell at $240. i don't know if the new phones are selling well at this very moment. i do know that apple makes great products and i am as thrilled about the iphone x i bought for my wife as she is about the x that she gave me. she is in india and that

makes -- do the surveys include those potential customers? anyone know when my wife is coming back? of course, it's not just fang. the complex under pressure until december seems to be making a comeback. the highest stocks, the adobes, vm wares are finally on the move after being stuck in the mud. they are mudders. i think that they are all buys. vm ware is really way too low. what else should wake people up from their slumber induced avoidance of stocks? how about oils breaking out? that has been a huge mill set. i almost can't believe these moves we are seeing. a stock lime schlumerger is getting its due. i am blue in the face about it. more on that group later in the show. the retailers.

i know that analyst said amazon might buy target. that's great. i don't think they will. people are taking it seriously because retail is doing better. stock on kohl's has been screening. macy's come back to life. best buy is hitting highs. the elle brands caught it. bath and body works. from a sell to a hold on nordstrum. will the buyout talks begin again? why not speculate on target? the transports are all up again running like the wind. ups and fed ex, they are on fire because of e commerce. the former feels like one buyer going nuts. the stock of csx, the big railroad that lost the ceo to an illness something that caused

the stock to plumt is above where it was when he passed. the commodity stocks are roaring. the copper company has been like it is all gold instead of small percentage. if the dollar stays as weak the dollar can be in early. we have a stock shortage in the commodity department. bio techs. we thought the disney might be done moving up because of the fox deal. stock took off because of continuing strength of the latest "star wars" movie which i haven't seen. a good way to put the woes in the rear view mirror. stock closed at $4. big cap stock. i can go on and on. believe me i would if i were doing this show at home. i do this show at home in front of a mirror a lot for like hours. for whatever reason the experience by president's focus on deregulation, bonuses after

the tax cut, weaker dollar into the earnings, we have an incredible rally. this move is never boring. it's not a bull. it's a beast. right now it's in beast mode >> caller: happy new year. i appreciate your thoughts on algn. my son and i have owned it for about nine months. >> that stock was number two in the nasdaq. i think the dentists needed a product. that product is just scratching the service internationally. it has huge business in the netherlands. they must like straight teeth. i think it had a little profit and it will be back.

align is good. i had braces when i was 13. it's starting to get -- probably too much information. bill in new york. bill. >> caller: hi, jim. i love your show and happy new year to you. >> same. >> caller: i was wondering if you could give me your opinion on the potential monsanto merger >> it's in europe. i don't know the answer. to me caching when you have a winner like that. happy new year. 2018 is already anything but boring. will you wake up out there. it's in beast mode. "mad money" tonight 2017 in the books knowing what separated last year's winners from losers. i'm going to dig down domination of the dow. and what does the decline mean for the overall auto industry. and wall street kicked off new

i love people who say the dow jones industrial i meaningless and then within the same breath quote how much it is up or down. why do so many people insist that it doesn't matter these days i guess far more money matchers gravitate to the s&p 500. look y don't desparrage the index. i embrace because the dow is still a good proxy to stocks. right now it's more important

than it has been in a long time because snapshot of 2017 gives you a terrific view of winners and losers in classic big cap names with overall score plu 25%. i won't have time to scratch out all 30. i can give you back grounds on the five best performers. let's start with the best of the best. let's start with boeing. boeing was strongest up staggering 89% last year. i don't think it's done. boeing can still have one more excellent year. this nearly $297 stock and $40 price target. not too shabby. why am i so confident? because 2017 was the year that boeing stock became a new and different entity. it went from being a cyclical to

a secular growth play. for ages we used to measure boeing by a new boom/bust cycle. if the plane was disliked or hard to build as was the case with the dream liner it would get hit maybe hit hard. this year nearly bursting with business both military and commercial investors seem to have stopped caring about individual aircraft orders and are focussed on the secular trend of travel especially overseas where only a sliver of people have flown and many more will do so. boeing's earnings are now smooth, production lines are efficient and as ceo told us recently there is a huge wait for new planes because so many different companies want them. many people fly, many more people fly each year internationally than they did the previous year which is why boeing is literally 20 years of

demand for the most popular product. they see the order book. the company will be expanding so it can meet that demand more quickly. it's still overwhelmed by orders. i know that boeing's engaged in a never ending dog fight with air bus over orders. i always felt got subsidized too much. at least for now looks like boeing's win. company also has a long term arrangement with nasa to put a man on mars which can turn into a space race with elon musk. i put my money on boeing. you hear that, elon? boeing's gross margins are very high. no wonder the company announced $18 billion buyback, latter becoming a staple for these guys. everyone is waiting for a pullback. the stock is only giving you one ten-point reversal since 2015.

that gentle sloping stock is what you are always looking for. in short, boeing is a buy. next up is the most heavily shorted stock in the dow caterpillar which proved wrong with a staggering 70% gain. it is another stock that transformed. not long ago it was a total bust. so the correlation isn't that strong. these days what matters is the strength of the business here in the u.s. and how much more efficient cat has become with both manufacturing processes and maybe even more important the one-time unruly dealer network that they didn't control. that means the company has much less risk of making machinery because it has a much better handle on the whole food chain. right now things are booming. in this boom the company is

making a heck of a lot more money off of earth movers. now it is fairly pristine. sure the company has been hurt by untimely purchase of coal maker. the shorts have been crushed. i don't think cat has become a secular growth story. just as commodities like copper and oil are at their highs or climbing while the southeast is experiencing a manufacturing renaissance that needs all the cat machines it can get. i doubt it can repeat the performance. with president trump talking a big game there is more in the tank for this stock than for a lot of others out there. i'm still hot on cat. number three is visa. it just keeps going higher and higher and higher. wouldn't this be good. they should be like this.

anyway, gained 46% last year. we sold the stock from my charitable trust which you can follow. when charlie sharp who we just love left the company, didn't think he could be replaced they got al kelly and he has been excellent. visa has become the go-to financial stocks for those too scared to go into the banks. you might think the stock would stall out. with the dollar diving this company that gets 52% of business from overseas it has a fabulous. visa is 17th largest when it comes to dollars overseas and kelly who has far exceeded expectations might bring it back to further elevate the stock. his accusation right about the height of the dollar. was that pressure. fourth, someone take my apple? that's typical. here it is. apple is about as hard to own as

it has been in any point in the last couple of years because there are so many darn surveys saying that the new iphone x is a bust plus charters are buzzing about major crack in the armor which could send the stock plummeting from 172 to 120. because of concerns about the new phone not to mention battery gate, i think they put that behind them, apple sells for just 15 times earnings. from all negative comments of late you think apple stock must have lost people fortunes. it finished last year 46.1%. i think the revenue continues to grow. apple still isn't getting enough credit for that one. it is steady. i think while the stock may not be ready for a short fall we haven't heard enough negative things to make me want to give up on this one. apple has more than $269 billion in cash. 94% of it overseas. the company has a lot of debt

overseas so there is no real way to assess how to flow back but it is more than now. i'm sticking to my guns. you own apple. you don't trade it. nobody takes my apple. wal-mart. didn't go up today. i think this stock has the potential to go up at least 20% because the company is going to see the benefits of its big spend on e commerce with jet calm offering something new, different and cheaper and exciting. wal-mart is much better than years ago with a terrific grocery section. you think they are a mistake. go to one. you won't believe how good they have become. you won't believe how fun they are. when was the last time you heard the word fun in the same sentence of wal-mart. they spend heavily to compete with amazon. the walton family is going with

[ inaudible ] the bottom line when you look at the top five performers boeing, caterpillar, visa, apple, wal-mart, i think they are all buys. they rarely give you buyable pullbacks. the fact is there aren't enough machinery financial techs or successful brick and mortar chains to choose from. the incredible strength here and you know what, i bet it continues. the rumble for dominance continues. do either of these have the ability to step on the gas or can recent declines be a red flag i'll put you in the driver's seat. 2017 marks the best year for stocks. what can 2018 hold i got to go off the charts. what can you buy now

3w4r5. just before we went away for the holidays something curious caught my eye. car max seemingly solid quarter yet only ended up selling off hard. in the end both car max closed out the year pretty much flat after wild trading. even oil parts companies started doing well. so what the heck is going on with these auto dealers? is the whole industry in trouble? could big incumbents be losing share to newer players like caravana which just became public let's take a trip in the way back machine to early 2017, a

very different time. back then car max and auto nation got hammered. after years of strong auto shares some investors figured the used car market was being flooded with too much inventory. with too much supply and not enough demand prices go down. don't forget this is when just about everybody was fretting about the possibility of a whole automobile industry peaking. early march and my partner this morning reported that there was a major position against car max. if anything things were worse for auto nation. the company reported less than stellar quarters. the weakness was exactly what you expect from used cars. company get really hurt by promotional activity. it was like come on down, cars for free.

we'll pay you to take a car. those ads were insane like crazy eddie. i'm old enough to remember that. in april and may saw -- we found out much of the year had to do with lenders pulling back on subprime auto loans. when car max reported, used cars sales up 8.2%. companies finding which had a lot of people worried. took on the rise. auto nation took a little longer to start rebounding. even stocks started showing signs of life in august after the board approved $250 million buy back. the used car space turned around with everything else auto related after the two big hurricanes hit in late august and early september. harvey and irma wiped out hundreds -- harvey wrecked half

a million cars. that translated into hundreds of thousands of insurance checks. you think that the industry would have been sitting pretty by the time car max reported. then something curious happened. the company posted results and numbers looked okay. earnings came in line. sales were stronger than expected up 11% year over year. same store sales for used cars for creased by 2.7%. the wholesale division was up 9.1%. financing grew by 50%. what was the sell off about? the numbers are pretty good simply weren't good enough. everyone was expecting a ton of new demand. car max's used car sales decel rated. so it took two horrendous hurricanes for the company to generate increase. you have to wonder about the overall state of business. auto nation which had been stink

stinking up the joint all last year they actually got credit for it. the company missed on the top line and blew away earnings estimates. the company repurchased 9% of the total shares. during that one quarter which is how they generated the monster earnings beat. it helped that auto nation announced a partnership after the autonomous division. doesn't ask you what kind you like. i like dominos. the stock spiked 15% on this news. where do we come down on the used car giants? for starters car max and auto nation look darn cheap, the kind that is hard to find. the former sells for 15 times earnings. if you are looking for value play you have my blessing to

pick up car max right here right now which is more consistent of the two and has pulled back nicely. if you are looking to speculate you have to consider a stock like cvna which steve in new york asked me about on december 11. this is a neat concept. i'm not sure about the execution. carvana rather than going to dealership it makes it easy to buy the car on the website and they can deliver it for you. the idea of buying a used car off the internet might sound insane to you. you have to remember that if there is one thing millennials hate more than talking on the phone, it is talking to random strangers in person like used car sales men or women. they can't stand it. give them a choice and they almost always prefer to do shopping on the web even for a car.

the stock was total flop. darn thing priced at 15. closed at 11.10. brutal kind of like blue apron. it didn't take too long to come back. companies first quarter out of the gate strong. here is the problem. latest quarter not so hot. it is not being delivered top line miss. didn't like management narrowed the guidance and lowering the high end of the forecast. top of that it has public detractors and making serious accusations about the company. short sellers published harsh boutiques alleging the company cooking metrics. i tend to be less critical of this kind of thing. i am mindful they tend to cause the stock to get dinged. more important it is not exactly

cheap. companies expect them to turn a profit. they can sustain their growth rate but thanks to the law of large numbers it will be very hard. the real issue for me is that it just missed the sales forecast, had to walk back part of the guidance. so for the moment i recommend sitting on the sidelines. here is the bottom line, with the roaring economy i think the used car space can make yet another comeback. if you want to be smart about it you will invest in car max and be grateful that there is still a stock cheap enough with growth prospects after the historic run for equities. i'm going to alex in california. >> happy new year to you, jim. >> right back at you. >> caller: last time i called you in told me to check out chris long of the eagles and charitable efforts. i just want to give him a shout out. >> president obama gave him a shout out. i gave some money to that

charity. that's not the point. don't talk about charity. i totally agree with you. >> caller: i'm a big believer in ceo and her management team. they also are pushing to autonomous vehicles. based on recent stock price slump and positive forward guidance is now the time to invest in gm >> i think it is. i think the stock is cheap. it sounds like six times earn g earnings. i'm on board. i am on board with this one. how about paul in washington >> caller: hello, jim. based on past history it looks like it could split. would that be a buy, hold or sell >> you got one pencil. you break it. do you have two pencils? yeah. they are not as big as the one. here is the problem, a lot of these companies have been taught that the big firms don't want you to split because then it costs more per transaction.

this is wrong. it's wrong because individuals will not come in and buy stocks if they have a high dollar amount. split your stocks. i know it seems like an illusion. nobody can afford to buy even two shares. do me a favor, do it. i know it is hard to believe but there is still a stock that is cheap. with the growth prospects. it's car max. i think it has room to run. what's in store for this market in the new year? new year, new approach. i'm offering up the top ways to play the energy sector. can you believe there are stocks to recommend in 2018 rapid fire tonight's edition of the lightning round. stick with cramer.

now that we are in a new year i think it is worth taking a step back and trying to get a read on the averages and where they might be headed. i told you about my predictions for the top five performers in the dow. now we are going off the charts and using the founder of explosive options as well as being brilliant technician behind the news letter. we want his technical take not just on the dow. before we dive into the charts worth pointing out that the last time we had him do beginning of the year market assessment was five years ago. he predicted major indexes would hit new highs by 2015 and turned out to be very right. we are praising his efforts. what does he see in store for us for 2018 why don't we start with the weekly chart of the s&p 500. how beautiful is this picture?

first of all s&p 500 didn't have a single losing month in 2017. that's the first time it has ever happened. if anything more impressive than the 19% run. with so much momentum coming into this year thinks it would be a big mistake to get too bearish on this one. he also notes that the strength started to pore it out in the fourth quarter as we saw increase in the number of names trading above the 15 day moving averages. a lot of them weren't tech. this was a sign of continued buying after the modest dip you can barely see it in november. until we see evidence that these institutions want to start selling on this ryan thinks you should keep buying the s&p into any dip. this was a good strategy last year. last year the s&p only had two pullbacks and went to the

20-week moving average. you can see these right here. did people feel these were the beginning of bear markets. these turned out to be excellent buying opportunities. they never did this despite the hedge fund letters that you saw. i'm glad i'm not in any hedge funds. when you look at the s&p as a proxy it tells you that the bulls are still going strong. the money flow oscillator which measures the level of buying or selling pressure in a security pressure being whether being bought or sold, how heavy is it. it has been positive for 2 1/2 years and keeps rising. these remarkable things. when you throw in the impact of tax cuts and interest rates lang thinks the s&p could be poised for yet another double digit gain. how about the weekly chart of dow industrials? it's like the mona lisa of charts. would you look at this

that's beautiful. it's picture perfect. with its monster 25% gain last year the dow was like a run away train that barely gave you a chance to get on board before pulling out of the station. i say barely. look at this. you need a microscope. the money flow indicator could not have been higher. big institutions were devouring the stocks. we have rsi going here. important momentum indicator tells you what will happen ahead of time. and then stayed there for nearly the entire year. normally when something is overbought it is too far too fast and due for a pullback. when a stock gets overbought and stayed that way we call it an embedded side and that's a sign of 234 credible strength. i wrote about this in get rich carefully. when you get overbought for the longest time it is the most positive sign possible as

opposed to a negative just a short time like this one right here we would have been selling. from a momentum perspective lang says the chart is a thing of beauty. the money flow remains strong. in the end thinks it will be pointless to pick a top for this thing. he can easily see the rallying in 2018. he does it off the possibility. i'm laughing. i remember when dow 36,000 was a big joke because it was so wrong. doesn't seem wrong now. bottom line charts is interpreted give us a lot of reasons to feel pretty darn good about 2018. no we don't want to be complacent but i think it is a big mistake to get too cynical. let's face it. we have a phenomenal bull market going here. let's just enjoy it. "mad money" is back after the break.

so that's the idea. what do you think? hate to play devil's advocate but... i kind of feel like it's a game changer. i wouldn't go that far. are you there? he's probably on mute. yeah... gary won't like it. why? because he's gary. (phone ringing) what? keep going! yeah... (laughs) (voice on phone) it's not millennial enough. there are a lot of ways to say no. thank you so much. thank you! so we're doing it. yes! "we got a yes!" start saying yes to your company's best ideas. let us help with money and know-how, so you can get business done. american express open.

how do you play this fantastic run in oil with the price of crude flying through $60 a barrel thanks to production cuts and increased demand from accelerating global economy do you go with pipe lines, drillers there was a time when the correct answer was all of the above. with the frigid cold in the east and so many operating in the frozen area you would normally go with natural gas. natural gas is in a huge glut so bad that the needle doesn't seem to move. the natural pick simply won't participate the way they used to. i suggest you avoid any pure natural gas picks especially around the shale in pennsylvania. stuff is not needed. export systems. let's do this. if the weather stays like this for a couple more days and natural gas stocks don't

participate i say trim, trim, trim. the fat may be so large that even the cold snap is enough to move the needle. how about drillers this part of the oil food chain has been a victim of its own inventiveness. the improvements have been so great that you don't need as much drilling equipment as you used to. i question how much service is necessary. halliburton should do well as there is still drilling. not as much as you might think. if general electric were so desperate to raise cash some would be -- the markets figured out that this business might be the first thing ge sells. most likely the subject of a fire sell. i think it should be sold in pieces. i say no thank you. i'm stubborn and i have dug my heels in on slb because the down

turn in oil the whole way. now he changed his tune calling for an upyear because producers need to invest to maintain same level of production. he made that call when crude was low 50s. stock was right around the levels so you haven't missed much. we know from last year that the big oils no longer trade together. there was tremendous disparity. investors said chevron. something the company decided is beneficial to the profits. exxon is well behind the group. you don't need too many winners. it's not worth buying the bad with the good. how about the independents any companies with great oil growth will work. as they fit the profile.

finally, with all of these levels the best positioned stocks i think are the pipe lines. the group is well below where it was trading. the pipeline companies are no longer struggling with u.s. government. the independents are desperate for new pipe to take natural gas and to take oil and gas out for export. that's why i buy pretty much any from mid stream partners which i trust. get this. if energy transfer partners you might as well hold on for the rising tide. some may want to buy the entire oil and gas group. they are among highest payers and could see dramatic lift in earnings. group trades on asset growth. the tax cut will allow bullish analysts to take up numbers. they haven't done it yet especially for the big profits. your game plan for this sector.

walked back to life by oil. a welcome level for the entire group. rising tide is no reason to stop being selective. and the best one and enterprise product partners. of course, stick with cramer.
