tweet me @ jimcramer what do we need to see before this market can put in a legitimate bottom? here's what we need to see -- more fear. we need people to be so worried that they're scared out of their whits, which is how you get a day like today where the dow plunged 327 points s&p plummeted 1.44% and the nasdaq nosedived 1 toyota 26%. >> the house of pain >> i think we might have more down side. not much i don't believe we're going to unravel this year's entire run, but enough to make it so all the fear and worry surface at once that's how we get a crescendo bottom, where you lose all we can at once, and when you get a whoosh that hasn't happened yet. what's happening today this is one of those moments where it's dawning on people that maybe all the assurances we don't need to be afraid of the feds are being proven to be totally bogus!

all we got are two themes over and over again it's either we need the rate hikes because we're full employment, or the rate hikes can't hurt us because they're baked in full employment is a good thing. so what do they do sure, employers may need to pay people more, but they just got a huge corporate tax cut they can handle giving that to some employees let me make this clear there's nothing in the fed's mandate about stopping the perils of full employment. they're supposed to stop inpl e inflati inflation. we have millions of workers who could be fired at the drop of a hat, either because of bank r 9 restaurant sis like sears or some new app or just because the boss doesn't like them. the only new industry that needs

workers pronto is the cannabis industry nevertheless, it's going to be a huge growth industry, and there you go that's my rapsody in g there's no reason for the fed to tighten four more times, none. they're afraid of potential inflation. i think that's a mistake the labor has taken a decade to recover, why not give it more time i am pleading here but honestly, it's the second theory that's the bane of this market, causing the unraveling it's the theory we don't need to worry about these rate hikes, or even the trade war why? because apparently these negatives are baked into the stock market looked real baked in today, didn't it? when i hear this, i cringe

right now, you can judge the pain by looking at the stocks of the regional banks they're being pummelled because they don't have any way to offset what will happen when they need to pay you more on your deposit that they can make on their loans, which could absolutely happen if the fed keeps up the fiction we need the additional rate hikes. when you listen to bank calls, it's obvious that the slowdown in loans has arrived, and that's what fed chief jay powell wants. he doesn't know how to take yes for an answer. does he want to cause an actual recession? maybe it turns out that with the december hike, he will have already overshot again, i totally understand that in the pockets around the country, there are legitimate and somewhat deep real labor shortages. my wife couldn't be struggling to hire people for our new restaurant the long shoreman that's supposed to open soon if there was a surplus of talent

around what a difference of five years makes. in 2013, when we started our business in brooklyn, people would come up begging for shifts they just wanted to work a few hours here and there so they could pay the rent and of course, retire their student loan no one does that now between the trump administration's crackdown on immigration and a much stronger job market, many small businesses are paying a fortune for labor. if you run a restaurant in a place like new york, it's crushing margins we never thought we would have to pay such high wages or find a hard time finding people to work at our joint but we'll do it, of course but can many others? i don't know come on, is that a real reason to cause a slowdown, though? does the fed exist to stop people from getting paid a decent living? i bring this up because i want to give you an example of how we haven't baked in these higher

rates. when you think you can't afford workers, you stop borrowing, which is a very good explanation of what might be happening at the banks. when you stop borrowing, you cut back on the demand for goods and services you mess with demand, earnings per share go lower, which is happening right now. right now we're seeing hideous price action can housing be that far behind obviously not. we know the home building stocks have been crushed. consider this, home depot, one of the absolute best retailers, stock was at $215 one month ago, now it's $180. i challenge anyone to buy some of that stock right here, right now, tomorrow morning. come on, the rate hike is baked? please i think most of these guys would be too scared to nibble at home depot, a great american company, and i don't blame them but i wish they would stop pretending to be afraid that the water's fine yeah, sure here's something you ought to

mull over. when everyone was happy on tuesday, i featured the work of our fear expert mark sebastien who said as much as it might feel the decline might be over, the truth is there might be more pain so here we are what does he say he says we're close to a bottom, but the pure index hasn't had enough fear. that's right, it hasn't risen enough to cause a legitimate bottom but there's still too much greed and not enough fear or panic it's too organized on the way down maybe people will finally stop kidding themselves about the gravity of the situation with the fed. something that only president trump actually seems to be articulating i think he's right, but i wish he thought about this when he appointed powell he would have never canned janet yellen instead of going with prudence,

he went with dogma you should be picking at stocks right now. that's what i told members today on our conference call but in october, it's historically a tough month for the stock market, at least for big down days, and we've been down for 8 of the past 11. later, i'll give you examples of what i regard as what i see as safe to buy and how to identify them for yourself, because i want to teach you to fish. bottom line, stop kidding yourself if you think all the bad news is baked in you don't get these decline it is it is and i'm not including the italian budget crisis, which i'm sure the bears will call out tomorrow and you've got to accept we could be buying a stock of the fed's next victim if we're not careful. a frightening place to be. and until people accept that fear, the market will not find its long-term footing. frank in pennsylvania, frank >> caller: afternoon, jim. calling you from the springfield

i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me? through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything.

remember what did well remember the stocks that just reported terrific numbers, and the train seemingly left the station. >> all aboard! >> but now they're all the way back to they started we know we're having a retest of lowe's as i mentioned, mark sebastien, our resident volatility expert, said we could repeal tuesday's gain and it looks like it happened when that occurs, you could be ready to buy the best of the best, the companies that just told you things are terrific so here's a shopping list of companies that announced good earnings so that you can think about it, because i think we all should be thinking about putting money to work. first is united continental.

they raised their forecast, third time this year, remarka e remarkable yet the stock is coming down as even oil, the principle cost, is stabilizing here united continental is cheap and doing well unless something has changed. second is citigroup, which is giving the best of the bank yaurters if you're worried about the fed being too aggressive, half of their books are from overseas. the odds are you're selling some of your shares to the company itself as they have a colossal buyback. the company is trying to repurchase 7% of its shares each year third is maybe one of the best of the best, united health one of the most amazing ones i've seen. the key metric for the health insurance group was extraordinary. i'm not used to being able to pick up a stock of a company that gave you a blockbuster set of numbers at such a discount.

but it's part of the stock market, so it's coming down, too. finally, people are buying the defenses again we got stellar numbers from pepsico. there with they weren't nearly as boilerplate bad as other companies we've heard from if you circle back, it looks pretty back. the dividend at 3.4% is strong, and the management change to ramone laguarte has been smooth. in a selloff during earnings season, you can't have a lot of guess work you want to buy companies that you know are doing well. that's what is so great about selloffs in the reporting period you've got the shopping list, because the companies have just told you exactly how they're doing. we don't know when the selloff will end, but i think these are levels, if you have a lot of cash, where you can pick up a stock and start nibbling you want a high quality

situation at a discount where you know the merchandise isn't damaged. stick with companies that just reported monster good numbers, and you'll rarely go wrong, even in this kind of negative action. much more "mad money" ahead. it's the largest single sector in the s&p and it could make or break your portfolio i'm putting together my power rankings for the information technology space then a man who spent seem at victoria's secret, and now turned to the cannabis industry. i'll find out what retailers can bring to the table and we play am i diversified so stay with cramer.

guess where we are >> the house of pain >> yep, we're back in the house of pain mode right now, few groups are as agonizing aztec, with the nasdaq tumbling 1.2% today. so tonight, let's talk the cramer power rankings for the information technology stocks, because they are -- for the past couple of weeks, we've been going through the entire s&p 500 sector by sector, identifying each strong looking stock, the one that had the most potential going into the end of the year remember, this may be the shakeout until the end of the year so t on the one hand, tech is still the second best performing sector in the market right now on the other hand, it's been annihilated over the past few weeks, including a 1.9% decline today in the s&p

it was bad out there today, people but this is why we have the power rankings right now the best performer in the information technology course it's amd. but the stock has been acting punk of late because it's not anything the company has been doing. its market share in the industry, in an industry where demand has become choppy with. that in mind, which tech stocks do i like the most going forward, what is good in our power index, which we will repeatedly update? first, it's the top of my list a picture is worth a thousand words. yep, apple, the world's only trillion dollar company, now that amazon has fallen below the there shall hold

-- threshold apple trades at less than 16 times earnings it's cheaper than the average stock on the s&p 500 more important, it's cheaper than the consumer product stocks, cheaper than proctor and the others if you gave apple the same price to multiple earnings, the stock would be up nearly 40% any time a stock is down like it was today, apple is buying back shares hand over fist, thanks to its $100 billion buyback and apple is still sitting on a mass of cash, more than 12% of the market capitalization is in cash most importantly, apple has become a play on the subscription economy their hardware is not the point. the devices are just the razor it's the services like cloud stores i was able to send a picture

that was -- thank you, heather gaines, who showed me how to use my phone today i use the cloud like you do, i get charged $10 every month. who cares? how can you not have your pictures backed up you would be a moron this is a massive service revenue stream the value proposition on this stuff is impossible to deny. my mantra remains, you own the stock, don't trade it. but here's a caveat for those thinking wow, cramer is saying, buy, buy, buy. today, this very morning, morgan stanley, perhaps the biggest bull in the stock, did say that there could be an app buying slowdown in china, because of restrictive video game rules introduced by the prc. i want to hear a bear articulate this before i tell you to buy more hey, listen, next up is salesforce.com

it's the third best performing tech knock in the s&p 500. you know what? near term i think it could get hit until we get that big shakeout that causes a genuine fear and bottom. you've had no kcrescendo sale yet. the cloud remains one of the most exciting software stories around sales force practically invented it the labor savings software is the solution sure, the stock is being beaten down like a redheaded stepchild, but it's been a buying opportunity. during the depth of the great recession, the ceo came on this show and told us it was a buy. the current selloff is bad, but it's not november of 2008 bad. i think you would be worried if you stick with this one. if you buy it on the way down, you may get a better cost basis.

those of you who have young adults in your family, take a look and see if it doesn't say fluent in sales force at the bottom of the resume third, adobe has turned itself into a digital marketing king pen. there's increasingly cloud based software that helps other companies to bring in new business the stock has surged higher, management embraced a subscription based business model. but how long can that last after all, adobe is getting slammed today, so you can say it's over. wait a second, i would say listen, i would be more worried about the market wide selloff, but we know that adobe's business is on fire. we know that because they had their business meeting two days ago. you want to know why the market rebounded tuesday? adobe was part of the season

they had 20% revenue growth and the stock spiked 10% on the news but this market has the memory of a gnat, so the stock got slammed with everything else so you need to view that as an opportunity. fourth, microsoft. under the brilliant leadership of the ceo, microsoft has gotten with the times elbowing its way into formally neglected growth markets, where they compete with amazon web services and social networking they brought linked in that's been a very good acquisition. of course, there's the core windows business and then you have xbox two years ago, microsoft's business was shrinking but now their sales are growing at an incredible 17%, double digit growth, commercial cloud revenue up 53%

this is not your father's microsoft. just saying that makes me feel old. look, microsoft also had fabulous earnings that make it easier to buy into weakness, because it's undeniable that this stock gets cheaper as it goes lower i would like to buy it lower finally number five in the tech power rankings, let's throw a little curveball here. let's throw in mastercard, with my favorite symbol, ma this is the s&p's classification, not mine i understand where they're coming from, though. these payment plays are a financial technology companies, and within all the tech, mastercard is one of the best names around they've been steadily growing their payment network around the world, and that's where i prefer mastercard over visa, because it has higher organic growth runway plus at times when people are worried about the banks because the fed may make it difficult

for them to grow, these stocks tend to be go-to stocks for the hedge fund managers. they know it's part of the cohort so they can pick it if it helps, american express reported what looks to be a very good number tonight. bottom line, even in this brutal market, it pays to stay diversified, which is why you should own some tech here, despite the fact that they are punching bags. these are my favorites joe in texas, joe. >> caller: hey, jim, thank you for taking my call the skies are pretty dark over china right now. are you ready to qual the chinese bottom and issue an all-cheer obaba? >> i did say, it may be the great contrary call to say it's time to buy them but i still think that the -- we're in a real trade war with

china. that is going to chill things and i think we're going to keep thumping them even though the stocks have gotten cheap let's go to jason in california, jason. >> caller: boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah, jason. >> caller: thanks for taking my call and for all the advice over the years. >> you're welcome. >> caller: a comment and a question my comment is that i think you are 100% right about the fed moving too fast, and i wish you were the fed chairman. >> well, thank you i've been getting some heat for that but i do think that people are whistling past the graveyard but go ahead >> caller: i think your advice about them being cautious and taking one quarter at the time is sage. >> how can being prudent -- all my life, i heard don't be judgmental, be prudent how can prudent be a bad strategy >> caller: my question is that

rocu >> i think they're positioned well roku the stock has run up so much, there are some people that want to sell it. i like to admit when i didn't get something right. i think roku was overvalued, so i think as much as i would hov -- love to help you, i might not be the best judge. it is a tough market, but it pays to be diversified in fact, that's the only free lunch. these are my favorites much more "mad money" ahead. it's cannabis company backed by a retail fortune, and it doesn't make you feel like you're about to go into a vault of darkness when you go to a store and then stock market volatility is back on the street, but do you have what it takes to survive the unknowns and rapid fire in the lightning round. stay with cramer expedia introduces add on advantage,

after a day like today, you may need a little something to mellow out but let's talk about a happier subject. yesterday, canada made history by legalizing cannabis for recreational use most of these pot stocks are way too speculative to own, but we're witnessing the birth of what could be a disruptive growth industry, so i made it my mission to do everything i can to teach you about it, which brings me to a new run this is a privately held american company that bills itself as a lifestyle oriented consumer products company that

just happened to sell cannabis related products, including cannabis oil that keeps being legalized in state after state green growth brand is going public in canada, via a reverse takeover late they are year. the company has the backing of the family that built an american eagle, mean thing is not some fly by night operation. so let's take a closer look with the ceo of green growth brands, mr. horvath, welcome to "mad money. >> hi, jim >> all right, peter, if you can explain to people your model and why there really isn't a good retail entry, and that is your stock and trade. well, thank you, jim our model -- look, we've got decades of experience competing

for customers in saturated and mature markets and we've been fortunate enough to be part of the teams that yielded the number one lingerie company in the world, the number one denim business in american eagle, and the number one shoe specialty business in north america, dsw so we think not only are we maybe the first guys you met in this industry who have operated multibillion dollar businesses, have taken them public in the u.s. markets, and done all those earnings conference calls, but also we've built brands from scratch and brought them -- competed for consumers with everyone else, and the result is we came out on top so the team we've put together is arguably one of the strongest retail teams in any market, let alone cannabis >> when i heard about you, i said to myself, this is the first ceo who is going into retail, who has actually been in retail so can you describe for those people that have not been to a

typical dispensary pot store, what they look like versus what you got in mind. >> yeah, so look, part of getting into a new industry, you have to study it so we went to the 100 best cannabis stores in the united states, which is quite a trip. and the idea is you do that very quickly and you see them so that eventually you can see what the patterns are so here's what we saw. everybody is doing the best they can, so congratulations for starting an industry the reality is, there's points of dissonance every step of the way. there are steps to admire, but every single store is underperforming its true market potential. so basically, the experience, you walk up to the door in a typical store, there's a guy with a flak vest and a gun, very inviting if you're lucky, he smiles he checks your i.d. to make sure you can go inside.

you go inside, and i'll imagine one store in particular, there are ipads on the table, we go in, it was well staffed. you got in line. you might have looked around while you're waiting in line you get to the back, you're trying to figure out what to buy. you're overwhelmed by the assortment it's not organized in a way that's intuitive you're worried, are they going to make me buy something if i just want to ask a question? i got to the desk ready to buy something and they said, did you register no you have to register at the desk in the front so i think you get the point there's so many -- in most retail experiences, there's too many points of dissonance. in cannabis, it's the same but more extreme out of stock is common what pisses off people more than going to the store to pbuy milk and they don't have any? they need to develop stronger

supply chain relationships >> totally >> the assortments, i've seen places that have 140 strains of weed do you really need 140 13 or 14 price points. why is this $39 and that's $41 so i think you get it. we're all experts at being consumers. >> let me ask you, you are doing thc and cbd. how will you describe them when someone says i want a buzz versus someone who says i really want to get high, do you have people who know thc versus cbd >> well, here's the deal we're going to use different chams f channels for that. a cannabis store will befocuse on thc we'll sell some cbd beauty products if you're using something topical that's cbd, just like anything else that is topical, you need to be able to smell it and feel it.

if it's thc, you won't be able to we have another channel that's for drugstores and retailers that we're developing right now, we're working hard with three businesses that represent 4,000 doors. we'll announce them later after we go public and we're bringing cbd personal care and beauty products to those stores we'll also develop adjacent categories and vapor pens and edibles and tincures cbd is going to be bigger than forecast >> i can't wait for you to come public that is peter horvath of green growth brands. ho is back after the break
