with the fact that the defense is the only thing republicans like to spend money on, no wonder this group has been so strong hopefully lockheed will say something. a modest company that cases a quick dip so you can get in. each quarter pfizer tries to come up with something new to intrigue us. abbvie is up $13 i wouldn't hold your breath if you are waiting for that kind of thing from pfizer. pfizer is like a utility we also hear from mcdonald's ceo has turned this aging hulk around to the point where it is now doing three times the

same-store sales as starbucks. i think value is one part of the story, but the other part, the bathrooms are clean. don't laugh. after closing resulted of amd sent the stocks surging more than 10% can it break through this level? you bet as long as dr. lisa sue the ceo tells a good story and i expect she will. earning super bowl goes into full throttle. i have to hope that the short-term crowd comes out in force and sells the stock. or on the loss of a trading commission against bombardier which happened today i say you might get a chance to buy it because honeywell, the

conglomerate reported today and gave you aslight miss. that was a buying opportunity as honeywell surged higher. all of the industrials are up today. a lot of it is davos a lot of it is the president i am pretty convinced that the one area i was interested about in slowing personal computer sales didn't pan out the rate of the decline is petering out and that is all that matters this relative improvement along with the strength of the data business allowed intel to strive microsoft wins with the pc and the data center. booming as your cloud business i expect a monster quarter facebook is a different story. get this, i think the social

media tighten will put the estimates to shame and that is all that you are going to get that is good i expect management will trash their own stock by talking down revenues and talking up expenses and that will spook people facebook will open the selling window for their shareholders who work at the company and see some first class stock dumping from their top executives. even if the numbers are as fabulous as i am anticipating, the action is going to be mig nightmare. get a lot of thursday. alibaba and i don't care that it is over 200. either buy it before the quarter or wait until the usual morning down light

bears to call apple a pittiful giant. i just got to get you ready. i am not glib to say there won't be anything wrong with the quart er there will be. even if it is perfect, analysts will make apple look bad i think it is ridiculous remember, the endless to contend with the fact that apple potential to give us a big buyback. they want the kind of growth you get from an adobe or vmware. apple is the greatest consumer product company of our time. happened to be powered by fantastic technology the ones who cover proctor or

colgate, this would never stop singing praises. amgen, this biotech has a ton of cash overseas. my choice for biotech of the year right now and no time like the present to pick some up friday is oil day. we get results the first will likely be lackluster and the second unabashedly positive the super bowl earnings never let you down in terms of shear excitement i can't wait for the week to begin. oh, yes, also the game e-a-g-l-e-s! okay let's go to stan in georgia. >> caller: new york booyah to

you. in keeping with your fundamentals of investing, i have shares in delta air lines over the past week or so, there has been a sell off and also reading some things that may be disruptive to that sector fundamentals so i am curious what you think about the sector and more specifically about delta air lines. is it going to be clear skies or turbulence ahead. >> i have got to tell you. i was on the call and it was clear that they are going to have a fair war. and if they have a fare war, everybody gets hurt. bad for business good for customer but bad for business tim in california. >> caller: booyah, jim i have owned ar conic since it

was alcoa. and i have a two part question is the new tax code or rate going to help them or not? and also, they have had disappointing earnings every time i have had it and i just wondered if you see a brighter outcome. >> okay. i think it will be disappointing. why do we sell it? actuals are worth more than earnings do i think they will screw it up probably is it worth owning because of that let it come down i am in a truth telling mood today. let's go to curtis in north carolina. >> caller: thank you for taking the calls, how about those

eagles and foles. >> what's up >> caller: unbelievable, man wide, wide world of rv. >> oh, somebody downgraded now, usually isn't much for thor you don't get to move into it. but they gave it to you today. an experiential story that lasts for years to come. super bowl of earnings i will expect major blowouts write them down, they are opportunity. on "mad money" tonight, up 10% what do drones and data centers mean for their future? do not miss my interview with the ceo.

what in the world just happened to land research. on wednesday night, reported what seemed to be one of the biggest blowouts with higher than expected sales up 37% year-over-year. management gave strong guidance for the next quarter

even though the stock opened strong, started in the afternoon and closed hard. we don't know why. i expect lam research mostly has to do with profit taking if it rallied rallied -- more ae quarter and where the industry is heading welcome back to "mad money." >> thank you for allowing me to be on the show today and belated happy new year for you. >> same. i came away with one thing is that we are early innings in data center and internet and things and just starting would that be a good take away >> i think that is a great take

away we grew our company by 50 percentage points and now over an extended period we have grown the company. and that speaks to the engagement of lam research in a much larger scale and it speaks to the world of silicon in this data that we now live in extraordinary amount of innovation and that is the reason why the company is performing well and excited about the opportunity that is just ahead of us just beginning as you said. >> we are all conditioned that lam and whatever, that these are big cyclical companies giant cycles and good and bad. you are not talking about that at all you are talking about a secular growth story for you and your

clients. why do so few people believe that. >> perhaps the natural consequence of the time it takes to process and internalize the scale of this technology inflection in the broader technology the reality is that there is an extraordinary inflection occurring in every segment of the economy, every aspect of our life is being influenced by this and silicon is at the center of that and so is lam historically, our industry with du dialogues units of pc -- today it is about content. cell phone growth single digit content growth for cell phone 50% per year data center instrumental now for

the sustainability of silicon and for our business from the cell phone and the data center was a five to ten ratio, today it is two to one very exciting. >> so if we just want to deal with reversal in the stock, you so solved it you say there i hope there isn't skepticism i hope at this point we have a track record on delivering the kind of quarters that you get. no matter what you do there is going to be skepticism but i think it has to do with how far your sctock ran you have to expect the fact that your stock is a rocket >> at the end of the day our

focus is on what we can control. to develop differentiated and enabling technology for our customers. our definition of success is to compete for broader scale and to win and defend with differentiated first year after we formed this new company, we had shipments that represented 14% of the spending of our customers of that year. last year 21%. this is a story of expanding our portfolio. that is what we get a chance to control and we trust that the evaluation is consistent >> your service stream which you don't break out to the level i would like must be gigantic.

these are huge machines and no one can serve them other than you. >> an increasingly important part of understanding the economics and sustainability extraordinary about where we start in the ecosystem a business that is growing faster than the installed base a business that is profitable and to your point, a poor component to the quality of our earnings the serviceability to the oem is everything about our company. >> remarkable quarter, remarkable year, i congratulate you in delivering for shareholders thank you, sir. >> "mad money" is back after the break.

a little over a year ago, i joked this market was all about a tale of two fangs. there is the familiar fang, my acronym for facebook, alphabet netflix and google and now diamondback that trades under the acronym of fang. instability in major petroleum producing countries, diamondback has become one of the hottest stocks around. somehow fang, diamondback has turned it into one of the sexiest names. a monster 57% game from its lows

last september nearly doubled over the past two years. how has diamondback company become everybody's favorite oil stock. diamondback is an exploration of production or enp company. now the permion has been red hot for years. attractive when oil prices were sky high and became more attractive after oil prices crashed it is much cheaper to drill there than in the backan, you get it that is why diamondback has been out performing for years and years. a lot more noticeable lately diamondback came public in

october of 2012 at $7.50 a share. this is when the performance differential started diamondback was a still play on the still lucrative permion. from its peak in 2014 to the industry wide january collapse in 2016 when crude dips down to the 20s, diamondback only lost 40% of its value the xop lost 74% of its value o'er the same period since then the stock has surged into stratos sphere. diamondback now trading well above where it was when crude

was over 100 bucks you might think that is patently insane, but the truth is that diamondback hasn't been sitting still for the past few years, it has been working if you only learn one thing about diamondback energy, learn this this company's earnings are poised to explode. earnings, actual earnings. even when crude was down at 71 a barrel -- company used the fact that used to its advantage during the downturn diamondback did a series of secondary offerings. $3.5 billi $3.5 billion with additional acreage in the permion including the $2.2 billion

diamondback's production now 18 times greater than when the company came public five years ago. as crude was goes, the gains go right to the bottom line of diamondback, fang can rank up its drilling program in order to dramatically boost its production now they can turn the spigot back on. and remember, very few other countries had the bold designs to buy other companies when oil went down. fang is different. they stepped up to the plate and on top of that, wall street loves the story. investors shy away from companies they don't understand. the company only operates in a single region and even within the permion basin, they are focused on six core areas. you even the other domestic tend

to spread their production diamondback is a clean story they don't have much natural gas. gas makes up just 5% of their production so you only need to keep track of one commodity the stronger one easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. company is only 39% hedge for 2018 the rest is 63%% hedge diamondback will be able to capture more of that up side than come petters. these guys seem to have a good handle on the market and hopefully start locking in these higher prices when they can.

lower cash cost of any operator in the permion basin $7.60 cents per barrel that means they have the highest cash margin. costs expected to come down another five this quarter. the stock is cheap trades around 19 times this year's earning estimates that is much less expensive than apache or eog resources. if oil comes down, the estimates will too if you believe in oil, diamondback remains a different buy. sometimes the stock market makes sense. diamondback energy has caught fire as long as crude stays in the 60s, this company is in great

shape. if you want to bet on a strong oil market, only one company worth doing it and that is diamondback. let's go to tyler in texas. >> caller: booyah. how's it going i previously used to work for a company chesapeake industry. i received a lot of stock 401(k) match. until it was bought out by another company. my question is i have a bunch of stock in chesapeake and with the fear of coming up and you know how the market, should i drop that >> here is the problem with chesapeake, it is a natural gas company. and natural gas doesn't have any growth so that stock sits at four

and the other companies are equally under performing i don't mind you holding on to it diamondback has bite it makes a killing from these higher oil prices. if you believe in a higher oil market, this fang is for you much more "mad money." online gaming, i am investigating. from post it notes to aircraft parts, 3 m it can take you to new heights rapid fire tonight's edition of lightning round. stick with cramer.

problems associated with it. we are not going to shy away from it and try to engage with the programmers. >> that is real problem. because it is about bullying, it is about inability to socialize and you are getting them together changes that. >> absolutely. and we are not just putting them in front of a computer and asking them for train for ten hours. we have a personal trainer, a psychologist >> women >> we don't have any women on our scholarship team if you take a snapshot at the industry, the women haven't gotten to the level yet. >> is there a way to support it so they do >> absolutely. the research shows that women are just as good as men, and early life socialization, and then you mentioned the online ox ift of bullying, the internet

can be a terrible place. we hosted a girl's summer camp for esport and we are going to try to get under represented faces in esports. so we want to provide access. >> why is it geographically, san diego, you guys, why not florida. >> great question, west coast is the best our teams are so-cal based educated parents, a high-tech state and high-tech side of the country. people are growing up more comfortable with technology. >> so you are convinced it is not fad or a flash in the pan. people tell me jim, you are too excited. >> i am bullish on it.

every earning system 3m puts on a clinic showing you exactly how it is done here is a company the analyst struggle with. it is a power house that make it is difficult to model. when 3m reported last night, a 6% organic growth. a lot of the business came from asia specific which is something the analysts seem to discount. so focused on the americas they simply don't understand everything that 3m has going for it r and d's spendings creates earnings faster. 30% of the company's sales comes from products that didn't even exist five years ago how do you model that?

how do you predict all of the household products you are doing. it is the kind of stuff that would make a parent's day at least when you move a kid into a new apartment. so many companies are trying and failing to put the pricing increases 3 m succeeding in ways that are surprising the analysts tax rate -- reinvestment is life blood of 3 m but also higher dividends and buybacks now, even better management raised their buyback forecast from two to 4 billion to three

to 5 billion in fact i think they increased the buyback because the stock keeps rallies. been doing this thing for ages my dad was a rep in philadelphia for 3m whatever they sold. and that could help them sell product to retailers for better packaging. i used to go with pop to his office on saturday retailers always run out of gift box and packages i remember 3 m came up with this thing called sashe n they put a beautiful bowl on it. it was so revolutionary that i
