6:00 pm
>> i missed you. all right. gees. >> what i didn't miss. >> what. >> the movement in new month mining is about to happen. back to you. >> that does it for us on fast see you back here tomorrow a 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 other people want to make friends, i'm just trying to save you money. my job is not just to entertain but teach you. so call me at 1-800-743-cnbc or tweet me @jimcramer. it's the economy, stupid or is it apple stupid?
6:01 pm
what an awful day, the dow plunging 660 points, the s&p 500 plummeting 2.8%, and the nasdaq nosedived 3.4% we don't know who to blame when one of the largest companies on earth reports a dramatic shortfall, you need to leave no stone unturned to find out what's going on. but when we turn over stones, we keep finding poisonous nema toads. and that's not encouraging it makes us want to -- >> sell sell sell sell >> and that's exactly what we did. so let's start with apple and try, for a moment, to be dispassionate about it, okay apple expects to set all-time records in the united states, italy, germany, canada, spain, netherlands, korea who cares?
6:02 pm
i do, but not today. the blast zone heat was too great to process the good with the bad. the focus is on china. we saw opposing catches mps on went down here one camp said the issue was china itself, and we aren't sure why. could be anything from a weaker chinese economy to their government encouraging consumers to buy products made in china by chinese companies. it's the same way here people prefer to buy american it doesn't matter if apple is making iphones in china or not if you lived in the prc with the communist party watching everything you do, you would have to be crazy not to buy a domestic phone over a foreign apple phone, even if it is a piece of junk versus apple the narrative is that the long knives are out for apple because cheaper phones are in vogue. i think it's more complicated
6:03 pm
than that, or else it wouldn't be doing so well in other countries. boy, when you saw it happen last night, all you could think of was -- [ crying baby >> that's right. i say the problem is apple's china business, not apple itself why is apple crushing it in so many different countries i'm not even talking about wearables. we heard the ecosystem is dying. but then how did apple's service business do $10.8 billion in sales? none of it makes sense unless you look at it by region apple is doing very well in most places but very poorly in china. i think the china sales are weak by design and circumstance the design being prc pressure. the circumstance being the chinese economy is slowing down. some of that is because the trump administration is fighting
6:04 pm
back against the chinese the tariffs are hurting them and they're hurting american companies that do business over there. which brings me to when you combine the weakness in china and the u.s. pmi that shows the worst plunge since 2008 -- not a comparison you want to make you get a picture of utter weakness across the board. that's why bond yields are de defying anything i've seen so what should happen right now? in an alternate universe that no one believes in, the fed would be meeting to discuss whether the u.s. needs to be two rate cuts or three. you have october, from commodities like oil, check the court, to high retail sales,
6:05 pm
housing. there's only one problem, at the exact moment we were getting that peak data, jay powell told us the economy was accelerated so rapidly, we might need three more rate hikes. the data was -- i was looking at the data, and i've gone over it with you, shows that we're on the verge of a slowdown. now we have the weakness i was predicting and what is the policy response? the fed says two rate hikes, not three. thank heavens. you know what that means it means the federal reserve is targeting one thing, no one has said this, either. this is breaking news, you know what they're targeting they're targeting job losses not what you hear. job losses perhaps the fed wants unemployment to go back to 5%, because the models show that the level where we won't need more rate hikes
6:06 pm
my wife says when jim talks low like this is when he's really angry. i don't know, pretty smart woman. any way, i'm going to repeat that despite what you hear, despite what people say about the sainted fed, it ain't stopping those rate increases do you think we would fall like this just off apple? it's not stopping until people are losing jobs all over the place. that's what they view as a win once the fed gets people laid off, then their work might be done hallelujah i say might, because if they're bone headed enough not to adopt my philosophy, maybe they want unemployment to rise to 5.5% may sound crazy to you, but these are central bankers. their decisions are not data dependent, unless the data is the unemployment rate. there's a by product to that, you get what happened to apple today, earnings shortfalls international companies could be felt by china, maybe starbucks, maybe nike
6:07 pm
if the chinese can make good sneakers, i would tell you to short nike starbucks hasn't been targeted, that i can tell. it's a fed field day domestically we have layoffs galore in the energy patch, in oil and natural gas. we have a slowdown in construction because of higher interest rates and the possibility of community banks can't raise capital because they would pay too much interest to get it we have hideous automobile and housing numbers. and we have what i think will be some big retail layoffs, particularly in the mall they must be so happy at the fed. they're getting the job cuts they wanted. now, as a stock picker, i think powell has made it more difficult to make money. we have a collapse in oil, the slowdown is cutting into the earnings gasoline is so low, but you don't buy those stocks when the economy is so slow
6:08 pm
so what do you do? you buy the stocks of companies that do well in a recession, even though i don't think we're going into one, that are bolstered by natural gas, oil. they're safety stocks. if you can drink it or wash with it so i think a trade deal with china could help it's possible, who knows when it will happen. the president is scrambling, because he knows what jay powell's game plan is. what matter it is you're today are the earnings and how bad they're going to be. from the looks of apple, pretty bad. and that's worth considering as we go into the season that's not too jolly any more remember, i'm not -- i want to be constructive, a trade deal matters. but you know what? when it comes to the fed alex in nunl, alex >> caller: thank you so much for
6:09 pm
taking my call tonight >> you're welcome. >> caller: jim, one topic that's been brought up lately is the high frequency trading taking over the market. having been a hedge fund manager, what is some advice you can offer to combat these fast machines and what do you have to say to all the slackers having machines trade for them, controlling our markets? >> well, retail day traders i think are losers, because the whole notion of what these companies are doing is beating you. you're running 100 meters in, i don't know, 50 seconds and they're running it in 8. you can't compete. it's okay, you can't compete not everybody makes the playoffs, okay not everybody makes the playoffs the high frequency traders make the playoffs, because the ground sun fair, unlevel, and the s.e.c. doesn't know what high frequency means other than maybe like it's something like with
6:10 pm
really good bose speakers. matthew inwashington, please, matthew. >> caller: thank you for taking my call, mr. cramer. i have a question about the recent market volatility i'm looking to retire early, and i was wondering if i should wade into bonds >> i'm hitting up a symbol it used to be the only send-in i remember that was a bad one. it's called cd cds are good i saw one for 3.5% the other day. they went down today because of the beyond rates but i think you've got to be sure that they're not -- that you don't have all stock, and that you have a decent percentage of cds out three years right now. i've never recommended cds on this show other than 2007 and 2009 and even then i wasn't willing to do a lot of them because i didn't trust the banks wow. cds. thanks, jay. as we start the new year, what matters is earnings, and how bad
6:11 pm
the shortfall also be. we'll be all over this stuff all year, we'll find the winners and losers the looks of apple, it could be bad. tonight on "mad money," loser, loser, double loser. you get the picture? i'm going through stocks that had a rough fourth quarter and letting you know if it's new year, new opportunity. i had some but first, all they do is win, win, win could the top stocks of the fourth quarter keep winning? and the health care world is constantly changing, do what does it mean for companies i've got the exclusive we'll get through this together and be constructive. we're not going to be pessimistic, we're going to be realistic. so stick with cramer >> don't miss a second of "mad money. follow @jim cramer have a question? tweet cramer at #madtweets send jim an e-mail to madmoney@cnbc.com. or give us a call at 1-800-743-cnbc

6:15 pm
now that we've finally turned the page on the horrific fourth quarter, even as the afternoons continue to get slammed, how do we search for opportunities? >> buy buy buy >> this is a truly beaten down pafkt, a market and i like to go over the biggest winners from the s&p 500 last quarter and the ones that held up despite an awful environment and the biggest losers, the ones that just might represent some value at last at these levels i think the losers have more potential, but because i don't want to get too down beat, let's go over the winners in the fourth quarter, then pick through the rubble of the losers after the break. at 2019, everyone says it's going to be awful, but here we go wait a second, maybe that's too soon it's only the second day the top performer in the fourth quarter, by far, was red hat and you know they used to come on the show all the time they've got a ji xwgigantic tak
6:16 pm
bid from ibm however, the implications of this deal are huge for the rest of the market. ibm shelled out a lot of money for a very expensive company even though it's major play on cloud computing, ibm's stock got hammered for doing the deal and it kept other companies buying well run tech firms. qualcomm was able to acquire a company, and i bet this deal will become less common. broad comms got crushed. maybe this is an isolated incident and the crash in cloud stocks has created some incredible takeover opportunities. then again, it's hard to imagine many executives having the intestinal fortitude to pounce on these opportunities when the group is this toxic.
6:17 pm
the second performer in the s&p, while this was a shocker but shouldn't have been, and that's numont mining. when it comes to the gold miners, they are the worst of the worst. but the gold stock's etfst rst -- etfs are so terrible but without the support of buyers, the stock would have up much less than the 14.7% gain it gave you what is wrong with the company it's a high cost producer, which means it needs a huge price in gold if you believe gold is going higher, rand gold is better. they have some amazing deals in africa, and even today, they were trying to negotiate
6:18 pm
here's the thing, gold goes higher when investors are worried about chaos and inflation. but central banks around the globe are stamping out inflation. that should hurt this group. if you want gold, buy some baric. i bet if fed governors could buy stock, they could be buying baric because of the stench of inflation. sadly, we can't smell it, see it or feel it maybe the fed has some special powers like the x-men or something. how about starbucks. this one is up more than 13% in the fourth quarter this is a classic comeback story. first, the ceo sold goods to nestle
6:19 pm
new technology gets the lines moving faster. starbucks is getting its sea legs back in china delivery issue the stock sufficiented today, with a product that's too expensive in china but coffee has never been that economically sensitive i think it's a buy of the week winner number four, cme group, the company that owns chicago merck. now that the payment plays have hit a wall, and you know what? i bet cme could keep climbing because this year could be crazier than the last. that means more futures trading. we'll circle back to this one this year, because it deserves a deeper analysis as a way to play a wacky 2019 real estate, you've got faster
6:20 pm
growing reitz with larger payouts. last quarter, the strongest players were in the middle of that continuum it's amazing how well these reitz telegraph the bond yields in the fourth quarter. the fed chief probably figured the ten-year treasury yields would soar after his comments in november instead, they plummeted on fears of a slower economy. that makes stocks like realty a lock more attractive, especially when you consider the ten-year gives you 2.5% again how much more upside could these reitz have depends on how clueless the fed is with its special powers
6:21 pm
the market likes the product lines, but it's not a takeover candidate. on the other hand, it's got lower raw costs thanks to the decline in oil and powerful innovation i think this is a good one i think the pullback, although they tend to be rare for these guys if you take a look at the five-year. finally, we have the called shot of dollar tree after reporting a quarter that looked soft, the stock started rallying in the wake of number cuts huh? why? buried within the results was a turn around the troubled family dollar business that they acquired three years ago when we spoke to the ceo not long ago, he told us there would be no more shortfalls created by the family dollar corporation. that allowed dollar tree to rally more than 10%. he explained that even though china is an important source of
6:22 pm
merchandise, it will dwanindle because of moving sources around bottom line, when you put it all together, there's a surprising amount to like here. i think gold could have more upside, because people fear chaos. go with baric. i like starbucks here right now after that last quarter. that has always been the case. really income fields played out, but if the feds continue tightening, this is a winner and this could be the year for dollar tree. the stock is worth big arouuyind the $90 area let's go to john in florida, john >> caller: hey, jim, thanks for taking my call boo-yah from sunny orlando i'm a long-time listen er and
6:23 pm
i've got a situation i want to get your take on several years ago i took your advice and added express grips to my portfolio. since then i've had quite a run on that stock. thank you, by the way. now, that said i woke up the other day and checked my portfolio to find express scripts disappeared. in its place was cigna my question for you, sir, i'm five years away from being eligible for retirement. i'm wondering if i should hang on to cigna or look for growth opportunities elsewhere? >> thank you for your confidence in me. i will tell you that this combination is really powerful the stock has pulled back mightily i think that it's one you want to own and it's going to have a good 2019. all right. amongst the winners in the
6:24 pm
fourth quarter there's some opportunity. on "mad money" tonight, could the losers of the fourth quarter be even better opportunities i'll reveal my take. and then another ugly day on stock market, could a stock that goes up 15%, fix your money mallties i'm cities with the ceo of amn health care. and bristol-myers, i'll give you my take on the action. you don't want to miss it. so stay with cramer.
6:25 pm
hey, darryl! hey, thomas. if you were choosing a network, would you want the one the experts at rootmetrics say is number one in the nation? sure, they probably know what they're talking about. or the one that j.d. power says is highest in network quality by people who use it every day? this is a tough one. well, not really, because verizon won both. so you don't even have to choose. why didn't you just lead with that? it's like a fun thing. (vo) chosen by experts. chosen by you. get six months apple music on us. it's the unlimited plan you need on the network you deserve. now buy the latest galaxy phones, get galaxy s9 free.
6:26 pm
your but as you get older,hing. it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. one more day the market just dot obliterated -- >> sell sell sell. >> the house of pain >> can we start picking among the rubble looking for buying opportunities? consider the worst performers of the fourth quarter, a decent
6:27 pm
place to dumpster dive first, oh, boy let's start with information individu - start with nvidia, the biggest dog in the s&p, down 52% for the quarter. what happened? the guide down was so monumental, you just had -- you just knew you had to wait, not one but two quarters before you could buy this high quality semi conductor maker. these are secular growth teams that some think are tapped out that's how the stuck plunged to nearly $128. i've seen this stock trade at 40, 50 times earnings and people loved it it usually means thee matts need to come down more. too many crypto currency maniacs bought them and then returned them
6:28 pm
now there's a glut that's being worked off i believe the backlog will be cleared up and i pex teexpect tw chips to sell well later this year my take, if you buy nvidia after the selloff, you'll have to suffer through one more bad quarter and then home free wait for more weakness i've been more bullish, after after -- the loss also be hard to come back from second, new field exploration down 49% since then, canada's stocks nearly 44% down. if you believe as i do that oil could be bottoming in the 40s, even as oil is down
6:29 pm
substantially. the big oil companies should get in the game. third, i'm drawn, life in hands, to pacific gas and electric. down 48% sure, there's liability here for the fires, but wall street is littered with stocks that have come back from supposedly fatal errors that said, i bet they make a comeback it's a bottom fisher's delight what do i say about cody, the beauty products company with the stock down 48% they tried to buy avon and now it's worth $600 million. i just can't see a meaningful comeback here. i would much rather own estee lauder.
6:30 pm
fifth, how did a line technology, the maker of invisiline make it companies like3 m, that company is bad i think it's too early to speculate on the stock i just don't see a catalyst. and i can't recommend them for anything other than a bounce this thing has been a monster since the turn down of $26 billion takeover bid, it's now worth $5.5 billion this one is something straight out of the fables. it should be in grade school perigo is a knockoff drug maker
6:31 pm
known for screwing things up and missing the numbers. there's a hallmark for you i can't recommend buying it until we see the whites of their eyes hey, ceo, come on the show you've got to surface from the bunker to tell us a reassuring story, if you have one without something to hang on, all i see is more estimate cuts. who stood out as a terrible performer in the fourth quarter? we have a plethora of oil names, including marathon and schlumberger i think those two are worth holding. and selling schlumberger down here seems wrong the gaming stocks have been eviscerated. i think they can make a comeback
6:32 pm
i think activision is too low here i got two more losers for you, tiffany and united reynolds. what i say about tiffany stocks fall from $128 to $80 it seems wrong to me we saw a stunning collapse in anything high end connected to brick and mortar retail. it's like the wealthy shopper just froze was it something mr. powell said i like the management routine, with the stock trading 16.5 times earnings, it's a buy as for united reynolds, this is a jay powell stock for attornce. if you think the fed is gunning for more unemployment, this will deck united reynolds united reynolds is a pure play on construction, including oil and gas construction the stock has been vulnerable to more rate hikes and production
6:33 pm
cuts my recommendation, if you think jay powell pays attention to the consequences of his actions as they impact your net worth, i would buy some united reynolds let's just say we could be a big winner in the meantime, the ceo will no doubt be buying stock right alongside you. that's what he's been doing. maybe he doesn't have a powell complex. best for last, c.a.g this is a food company that got had. sometimes you just get had when it overpaid for pinnacle, one of the most disastrous acquisitions in recent history. the positive they now own the frozen food aisle, a favorite among my ly
6:34 pm
millennials. six months from now, i think you can turn things around i'm betting patience will be rewarded with conagra. be constructive. when you look at the biggest losers, there's some big buying opportunities here where they may be headed is lower before making a u-turn later in the year. be constructive. that's my theme for 2019 i'm constructive, right, regina, who is my executive producer, who has been with me 47 years. constructive well, maybe that is hyperbole. l.c. in florida, l.c >> caller: good afternoon. ge was once a blue chip and a bad year in 2018 what do you foresee in 2019 for
6:35 pm
ge could there be a threat of bankruptcy >> no, no. the jpmorgan guy, even he is no longer down there digging at the business i think that -- i'm a believer in larry i think he's taking good actions. i'm not recommending ge because i don't like to take life into my hands but that said, do not sell ge. it's too late. okay when you look at the losers of the fourth quarter, you see some winners. because hindsight is 2020. on "mad money" tonight, bad day for the markets. are you looking for a safe, steady winner? i've got one and what can bristol-myers do? i'll give you my take. all your calls on the lightning round. so stick with cramer [leaf blower]
6:36 pm
you should be mad at leaf blowers. [beep] you should be mad your neighbor always wants to hang out. and you should be mad your smart fridge is unnecessarily complicated. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade which isn't complicated. their tools make trading quicker and simpler.
6:37 pm
so you can take on the markets with confidence. don't get mad. get e*trade and start trading today.
6:38 pm
6:39 pm
so you're worried about a serious worldwide economic slowdown, something that's more apparent by the day, what stock can still work in that environment? you won't secular growth stories that keep on working health care, consider amn health care service, which is a managed service provider, that provides hospital and workforce and staffing solutions basically, handle the business side so doctors can focus on treating patients. in an environment like this one, with high labor costs, health care providers need staffing services more than ever. so let's look with susan, the president and ceo, hear more
6:40 pm
about how her company is doing welcome back to "mad money." >> thank you so much >> have a seat, please well, your stock has done terrific since we saw you last, much better than the stock market and i think one of the reasons is because people are starting to realize maybe there is a slowdown, but it doesn't affect you, does it >> we have a lot of things driving our industry, certainly starting with an aging population, which drives utilization of health care, but creates ho s shortages. we have shortages within nursing, physicians, allied and within leadership. so we're seeing those two things stop together right at the worst time probably for health care. but that's where amn comes in. we can help health care providers to ensure that they have the right talent and right time at the right time, through things like our managed services programs that you mentioned. but we have other workforce solutions, as well >> when i heard about the tightness, and it's throughout in your conference call, i started thinking okay, let's say
6:41 pm
i was the federal reserve and read the amn health care conference call, should i worry that the economy is overheating and there are not enough people to fill good positions >> it's a tight labor market and people are everything in the success of an operation here at "mad money." but also at amn and for our clients. and so helping them get the right health care professionals is really critical we're at a time when the number of health care job openings, if you look at the data, health care job openings are twice the number of hires. we are at record highs for vacancies and job quits. so it's really essential that we bring everything we can to help them get the staff they need, whether it be temporary or term. it's really important that we help our clients to optimize the staff that they have they need to make sure that they're taking every precious moment for that physician and that nurse and getting them to the patient that needs them the most >> i've spent some time with
6:42 pm
kaiser, maybe one of the best companies in the country they're a client of yours. what would you be doing with them in >> they're our largest client and one of the most progressive and innovative organizations we just renewed our contract with them and expanding in new categories and new regions so we help them make sure that they have contingent staff, primarily now in nursing, but we're expanding it into the jalt lied areas, as well as physician. we'll be bringing other tools to them and i'm really excited because we're going to be putting together a workforce institute with them to make sure we're innovating together to make sure that they have, but also our country has, the staff we need to take care of patients >> that's a company that's the gold standard in terms of treating men and women equally, in terms of recognizing that perhaps opportunity should be open to everyone i know you were kind enough to be in my corporate governance conference i want people to understand what
6:43 pm
you've done, because i think it's one of the reasons why you're able to get people when others have a short an >> i appreciate you recognizing that, jim. it's something we're passionate about, making sure we use all of our resources and time and talents to do not only good work for clients and clinicians, but just do work in the world. we call it performance and profits with a purpose i'm so proud of the amn team and all that they do we're passionate around social causes and being involved in our communities, so we support our team members and volunteers. we go to guatemala on a mission trip every year. and then around gender diversity, gender and equality as well as diversity matters, we take a very strong role. certainly we have a good track record ourselves, but we want to help our clients and others to improve. >> i know you're an objective individual do you have statistics that shows what happens when you bring in amn, where it shows
6:44 pm
that amn brings the numbers up >> we can help our clients ensure that they not only have the talent but reduce their costs. remember, workforce is 50% of a hospital's budget. half of that is nursing. anything we can do to help ensure that they are being as efficient as possible is absolutely critical. and so making sure that a, they have the right talent, but also that they're using that talent most efficiently through thingsd workforce planning we can help them ensure that they have the right staff at the right time >> since we've known you, we've beenseeing you grow and doing the right thing, a lot of great acquisitions do that but you' that's the amn health care president and ceo, a company that i was proud to seven with on a panel because of the good things that they do.

celgene, and that's been a once great growth juggernaut, can we call it that celgene is great, and it was based on a cancer drug choice, and celgene has been able to raise its price regularly. the problem is, the drug is going to lose its pat protection but because of the peculiar nature of the pharma business, we didn't be sure when it will go off the cliff the company made now what looks to be a disastrous acquisition of $72 billion years ago i thought it would be good they had a drug for irritable bowl indresyndrome, but it's inconclusive

bristol-myers and celgene decided to combine forces. when i discussed this, after their many failed attempts, perhaps these are two drunken sailors holding each other up. i think maybe they aren't drunk but have fallen or hard times. if you own celgene, you made a boat load today, they're up 20%. the fact is, there are too many drug companies out there that can be more valuable to buyers than the stock market itself when you think about avbd, it's a one-product company, maybe id needs to do a deal i think it should. that's one reason i'm headed out west next week to the jpmorgan health care conference look at this i need to look at these execs in the eye and think what they think of the possible combinations out there

remember omar, he came on the show you know we like what's going on with e.w look, if not for the apple shortfall today, worst in six years, this bristol-myers/celgene deal would have been all we talked about. with celgene, maybe it finally has some diversification that it's been looking for. stick with cramer. accidents can happen anytime that's why geico is here 24 hours a day everyday. geico, fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.
