6:01 pm
that the president and therefore the market would resurge and response dow at one point losing nearly 350 points the averages came back with a vengeance. the s&p dipping. the nasdaq gaining .33%. this news allowed us to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. but not really a surprise. which of these two sessions was real this one, the early obliteration or this one, the fabulous nasdaq rebound? they both got legitimacy it would be easy to focus on what is going right, but that happens. we have to focus on what went
6:02 pm
wrong so long as you don't fannpani panic. we can imagine what could go wrong. so what is fueling the bearish argument here. gary cohn is stepping. that alone was to send the market into a tizzy. more important it is presumed that cohn, a mainstream centrist guy will be replaced with someone more radical i believe we need to get tougher with our trading partners, some of them like the chinese are targeting the entire industries here in the u.s. and they are doing it in order to have make work jobs they decimating the aluminum industry in our country and doing a number on steel.
6:03 pm
the president decided to draw a line in the sand with these across the board tariffs in part that is because i think we need something like this. and as i predicted last night, the president would make an exception for our closest allies, mexico and canada. you heard it here focus, the guy is not falling stop panicking we used to dominate the aluminum industry, now china makes 50% of the aluminum we make almost none. the chinese department subsidizes aluminum heavily. that is not free trade i understand this issue is all about, well, tradeoffs, the administration wants to stimulate our steel industry, it
6:04 pm
doesn't want to stimulate a ruinous trade war. cohn didn't believe it was the risk of that the new team disagrees now neither side has a monopoly on being right in this case, i think the protectionist have a point china is artificial depressing the price of steel to create jobs and that costs our jobs here in the u.s. trying to deter this kind of bad behavior is worth the cost of maybe doing less business with the peoples republic for the moment i bet they play ball to make sure these markets stay open it makes sense when we basked in the afternoon. number two of the bears feud, some people worry that the president won't stop at steel
6:05 pm
and aluminum last year when trump ex-core yated the auto industry, ford capitulated. bmw decided to build plants defying the president. that is exactly the kind of thing that would cause or spark a trade war. but i say take a deep breath the president said he would go after bmw and mercedes of eu retaliates this will not be a problem third, there is a tremendous fear that friday's payroll report when the market fell this morning, many people hesitating to buy because they didn't want to get into the stocks ahead of this job number on friday.
6:06 pm
which leads to a source of fear. the cost of doing business in this country is rising thanks to tighter labor market as americans and people who work for a living, we want higher wages. that said, holy cow, the decline of dollar tree off an astounding 15%. one session was totally nuts it dragged down every other retailer including target and tjx. ross stores gave you a great quarter. fifth, the wrong stocks are going up the universe of winners got small. you can count them on two hands.
6:07 pm
you know what, we get a really narrow market and end up with too many losers and not enough leaders. so people flee from the entire asset class. it makes people fret i felt good that netflix was up 100 trade points and finally went down. the s&p is now 26% tech. i am call that a bit of a red flag then it is possible this market could have more down side. i think the retest argument holding less water than usual, so many companies are doing so well i could make a case that we have been experiencing a garden variety sell off which means we don't need to fear another 800 to 900 down side we wouldn't have been able to
6:08 pm
downs today on the car value but if we do get an employment number that is too hot suggesting the federal reserve needs to tighten more aggressively, then the whole thing could become self-fulfilling. if that happens we lose the housing stock and the auto stocks red hot tech stocks are not enough to make up the damage even they we got a nice relief, you can't just decide nothing to worry about. bottom line, today we got saved by the tariff carve out of mexico and canada. we need to be mindful that we are operating in a treacherous new landscape. and today's sellers might not be

6:35 pm
6:36 pm
. >> everyone freaks out about trade policy and disturbing turnover in the white house. you may be missing great stories that are getting a lot of attention. consider the case of nordstrom the swanky department store chain i like so much tonight i want to catch you up on what has been happening here. at the end of the day the stock market is a market of individual stocks that represent pieces of individual companies sooner or later the specifics of those companies are going to matter more. gary cohn's resignation is a
6:37 pm
problem, i said that so what exactly do you have going on here with nordstrom on thursday night the company reported that is not how things played out. instead the stock quickly reversed rallying only $five or nearly 11% of lows you got to stand up and pay attention. let me give you the reason for the are you surresurgence they couldn't arrange the financing so the deal fell through. consumer really spending, the nordstrom family, they are trying to give it another shot on monday afternoon, we learned
6:38 pm
that the nordstrom board received and rejected a what i callindicative proposal from the nordstrom family for $50 a share, come on, that is a low ball offer. you know what i am still regarding it as a game changer how exactly should you play this situation? spoil alert, we own nordstrom in my travel trust. it is no secret that i like the stock and by the way, the company. the darn thing oechnly gets mor attractive as it gets lower. first up, let me set the stage i keep talking about this turn around in retail despite the industry reaction to the quarter, nordstrom is experiencing a turn. when the company reported the numbers were mixed weaker than expected earnings, but revenue came in high and i care about six
6:39 pm
grow 2.6 a lot of hype in the stock because people felt it was going to announce something. nordstrom retail gross margins took a hit related to the expansion of its discount concept nordstrom rack. i say, you know what, it is to be expected. also got some year end promotions manager said it should improve full price rather than lower compared to so many other chains, i have to admit it wasn't a perfect quarter bit of a let down. manager believes they could get a handle in the situation. the family is the one that is trying to take the company
6:40 pm
private. at first the stock got crushed to not so hot numbers. plus it didn't help the day before the new york post ran a story. that piece added to the negative backdrop i think it made investors look at the quarter in a harsher light. not just the mixed result. come on, destroy the anticipated earnings, that is backyard many people in wall street don't believe nordstrom would ever become more profitable more quickly. bob lang one of our technicians pointed out for last time off the chart segment, when nordstrom got hit on friday, the big institutional buyers stepped in and bought this thing aggressively
6:41 pm
beyond the fact that the family want to take it private, what do these money managers like about the product? launching a store in new york. and in canada, let me tell you the men store in manhattan opens. all of that is going to matter these are needle movers and the online business has caught fire. put it all together and it doesn't take a rocket science to realize these are going to pay off in a big way nordstrom has been spending a fortune to build out all of these initiatives and now they can afford to cut back on that spending a big enough to say here the business might be inflecting
6:42 pm
capitalist ventures have come in at 5% of total sales for the next five years, management sees it coming in at 4% of sales. that will give the earnings a serious boost. nordstrom can generate more profits here consider what jpmorgan boss had to say he is the ax in retail understands the sector better than anybody else. he raised his price target on nordstrom. they raised the investment that's why i continue to like this stock i support it and tell club members to buy it. the potential for a leverage buyout or flat out take-over is the cherry on top.
6:43 pm
trouble getting financing as my squawk on the street colleague pointed out this morning retailers that have gone private are struggling and there may not be an appetite in the bond markets for bpaying out in highr levels beautiful floor of $50 and that is where the family can take it private and if it goes too low, i think the board will accept the bid. the news of their bid means they are getting amazing risk reward. plus with this incredible growth company, now trading at, well, you know, it was once more of a growth company than it is now, but rack is a growth company, trading at 15 times the earnings bottom line, the way nordstrom bottomed on friday after a not so hot quarter, i am calling it incredibly bullish when a stock goes up on bad
6:44 pm
news, it has something to go for it i think it is pretty darn compelling for your portfolio right here at $51. "mad money" is back after the break.

6:48 pm

6:49 pm
fred in north dakota. >> caller: love the show couple of years from retirement. looking to moving. what are your thoughts on energy transfer. >> i don't like it i don't care for the group the partnerships have had their day in the sun alissa in new york >> caller: thanks for taking my call i know utility stocks are sensitive to the interest rate changes which we are probably going to be seeing this month. i heard you talk about this stock a few weeks ago and how are you feeling about ngg national grid now. >> i don't feel great because i keep paying them a fortunate may i suggest you go with dominion energy. 4.5% yield utilities are in a pile of pain.
6:50 pm
why? because people are going to sell again. let's go to lou in new york. >> caller: looking long-term ten-year plus, is it now a good time to start a position in ventas >> i think they are doing a remarkable job i say be careful not yet. and that, ladies and gentleman, concludes the "lightning round"" >> announcer: lightning round is >> announcer: lightning round is sponsored by td ameritrade >>check this out. td ameritrade aggregates thousands of earnings estimates into a single data point. that way you can keep your eyes on the big picture. >>huh. feel better? >>much better. yeah, wow, you really did a number on this thing. >>sorry about that. that's alright. i got a box of 'em. thousands of opinions. one estimate.

6:53 pm
did the market really deserve to get smacked around hard this morning? up more than 300 points for the dow at the lows came bouncing back just because one guy. does the resignation of gary cohn really matter that much does it mean that much you better believe it does for months i have been saying the possibility of cohn stepping down was one of my biggest fears for stock and it turns out i was right to be worried even though we bounced back in the afternoon. let me do an ode to gary cohn who i am proud to call friend. cohn was your portfolio's best friend in a white house that can seem
6:54 pm
chaotic to put it diplomatically, cohn was like the rock of gibraltar. you always knew what he stood for and where he was coming from he was steady. i was thrilled when i got to interview him because he laid out the straight case but he wasn't on script he listened and answered questions thoughtfully rather than regurgitating talking points and wasn't scared of anybody. that is rare in a public servant. he was a vocal critic of how the president handled the horrible events in charlottesville. which brings us to right now, cohn has strong believes about the value of free trade. now i have seen a lot of people
6:55 pm
in the media criticizing him over this. i got to tell you, i think that is deeply unfair for starters, cohn is a democrat and i am sure this administration has done tons of things that he disagrees with. he wanted to be in the inside where he can influence things for the better he is the economic adviser, if he is going to resign or risk being fired it should be over an economic issue gary cohn is a dedicated public servant. when you work at sachs, that is something they train you whether you love trump or you hate him, i think it is fair to say that working in the white house is the definition of trying circumstances cohn carried water for the
6:56 pm
president's tax reform agenda in a spectacular way. so far it seems to be going great for the economy. cohn made the tax cuts happen. yet he never sought even an ounce of credit. he always says it is the president. total team player and he got the job done rare public figure who wasn't in for the fame, glory, or money or power. he took the position because he thought it was the right thing to do after lifetime of working at goldman sure, i wanted him to stick around i wanted him around for his guidance and common sense the next time we got hit with some unforeseen global crisis even if you think cohn was misguided or mistaken, everything he did, he did for the right reasons. and at least from my perspective, he did a lot of good in his time i hope you will join me in thanking him for his service and
6:57 pm
wishing him well in whatever he does next. i've gotta say, i love the new place. oh thanks. yeah, i took your advice and had geico help with renters insurance- it was really easy. easy. that'd be nice. phone: for help with chairs, say "chair." phone: for help with bookcases, say "bookcase." bookcase. i thought this was the dresser? isn't that the bed? phone: i'm sorry, i didn't understand. phone: for help with chairs, say "chair." does this mean we're not going out? book-case. see how easy renters insurance can be at geico.com.
