and dan didn't make fun of me once. >> you mean on air during the breaks, well -- >> a lot during the breaks sarepta had a great quarter but getting caught up in the maelstrom of the market. srpt. >> that does it for us for a specia my mission is simple, to make you money i'm here to level the playing field for all investors. there's always work somewhere. i promise to help you find it. "mad money" starts now. >> hey, i'm cramer welcome to "mad money," coming to you from san francisco, the center of the hardest hit portion of the stock market today. some people want to make
6:01 pm
friends, i'm trying to save you money. my job is educate and teach and put it in context. so call me is this the new normal today was the worst day for the averages since december 24th with the dow plunging 617 points the s&p 500 plummeting 2.14% and the nasdaq nosediving 3.1% so we have to ask, is this how the market reacts to an escalation of the trade war? i mean you better strap yourself n i expect to see tariffs on the other $300 billion worth of merchandise that we import from china. president trump doesn't care about doing business with the people's republic. he is going to punish anyone until they try to agree to a deal which will happen down the road nothing soon china is a huge trading partner.
6:02 pm
the president believes the trade war hurts them more than it hurts us and in his view the damage will be contained to a small number of companies like in the dow it will be abc. apple, boeing, caterpillar the stock market doesn't buy it. investors believe the carnage will be immense. and then they went out so badly that they're willing to sell everything other than utilities and campbell soup and hershey's. so how worried should we be. history says you may want to be afraid giant tariffs and impeded trays means less business and less business means lower stock prices you know what? that is missing something. most companies won't see the earnings hurt here that's why it's premature to bail on the whole market you'll hear people talk about the holy tariff act exacerbated the great depression some will say it caused great
6:03 pm
depression but went into law eight months after the 1929 stock market crash so i don't know if that's such a good analysis about what we should be scared of the thing, is most investors don't seem to realize that our trade war with china doesn't have much in common with past trade wars why? because we simply don't sell that much stuff to the chinese that's why when china unveiled the retaliation targets, i found the list pathetic, frankly trump raised tariffs on $200 billion of chinese exports they hit back on $60 billion of u.s. imports sounds one sided just listen to this list this is what is on the list. beans, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli so far these are all things our mom made us eat that we didn't like cucumbers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rabbit meat.
6:04 pm
frog legs, almonds, cashews, figs, oranges, manld rinne oranges! hazel nuts, pears, macadamia nuts, whey eggs, butter, past yasha, rigcen eels, trout, cake, beer, wine, wheat. all agriculture except for televisions, dvrs, cameras, and gloves china's also threatening to cut off our liquified natural gas exports. these goods are made by farmers. the president said he'll bail them out if they need it the goods are all commodities. they'll flow some soy beernans t down agriculture is the most heavily subsidized industry in america we prop them up and protect them against foreign competition. now a couple of the items are, i
6:05 pm
know, down right funny tvrs dvrs cameras? gloves come on! our manufacturing base for that stuff was wiped out ages ago china in particular destroyed the american glove industry. liquified natural gas. that's like get in line. there is so much worldwide demand for natural gas someone elimination will take the contracts not that there is any to be contracted for right now. when we spoke with the father of the l & g industry and the dominion energy, they both told us the same thing. simply no additional supply to be had those guys, so where does this put us this world view, the one that says nobody left in china to do business with very bad for china and very good for the u.s. wow that, is thoughtful. that terrifies most investors. wall street once traded with china. the last thing they want is for the second largest economy in
6:06 pm
hichltry to go to recession. something that could spread to other trading partners the president isn't telling companies they need to make everything here. he wants them move away from china. we're talking to laura albert. she is ahead of the curve. she is getting around the tariff hikes, including the united states she's making fabric in tupelo, mississippi, since she saw this coming 500 jobs. now it gets worse for the chinese. trump's deeping whether to slap 25% tariffs on the $300 billion worth of the stuff we import at that point, china will be out of american exports and they threaten to start selling more than a trillion dollars in u.s. treasuries hold it just a second. i say go right ahead treasury yields plummeting here. can you price hundred drefrdz billions of dollars and treasuries right now they're doing us a favor you start buying stocks yet.
6:07 pm
last week i told you that tuesday would be the moment to start doing some buying because i figured this chinese retaliation would scare people today and the recession stocks would win. that's the stuff like do i have any hershey's left campbells? it's all right by end of tomorrow's session, ininvestors will start picking among the rubble, targeted well run domestic names like the managed care stocks, telcos and, of course, some tax. there are others, most of the upcoming wave of ipos will be clouded by the uber deal short term, that's a bummer. long term, fantastic the last thing we need right now is more stock supply there are semiconductor stocks that will be hurt and you have to wait before you pull the trigger with these we don't know how badly their apple business will be damaged boo! we don't know if the chinese will target individual companies line starbucks or nike with boycotts
6:08 pm
hey, maybe deere reports this week, that could be tough. let's go back to epicenter of trade war, apple it was a one-two punch here today. i think they gave me that one. because first the supreme court is allowing a lawsuit against apple for inflated app price it's they're really inflated a lot of them are free the argument is they have a monopoly on the app store. that doesn't mean it will prevail, it's a risk i think it is a small one. second, apple could feel some pain if the chinese go for a boycott against their products they make so much stuff in china that, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. but who knows? an iphone boycott will be more effective than tariffs on trout, eels or american made pasta! the bottom line, today the market turned against everything against the soft good stocks only a handful of those. that move tends to last for three days and this was day two tomorrow day three by the end of the day, the buyers usually
6:09 pm
start circling back the stocks with no chinese exposure thing fa in. g. so get ready it's been a wild ride. what we're almost in oversold territory and there's not much more china can do to hurt our economy even as it sure can hurt the stock market because their moves inspire panic like no other country's business hey, what are we going to josh in california, please. josh >> hey, jim. how are you? >> this isn't josh lipton is it? never mind go ahead, josh >> okay. yes, jim, what are your thoughts on -- [ inaudible >> on which one? >> exxonmobil after china -- >> exxonmobil, no. no exxonmobil has a good yield. we like chevron more we thought chevron was savvy to take the billion dollar breakup fee and move on from the deal to
6:10 pm
buy anadarco elaine in florida. elaine elaine >> yeah. >> go ahead, elaine. it's jim >> hi, jim how are you? i'm a long time pensioner with u.s. steel and i'm wondering if they are in a position to function productively long term >> i think the long term is tough. their balance sheet is not that good elaine, i hate to see you in a situation, i know you're long time pensioner of it but newcorps is the only company left in the large ones that has a good balance sheet that's the one all right. it was a day of agony. no ecstasy brace your self for a wild ride. you know what? i think the market should stop sweating the program by thursday, i don't know, i mean, we'll still know this
6:11 pm
stuff. but it's going to be in our rear view window. today's selloff was tough. i have your back, i'm focused on the drop the companies at the center of it all i'm talking the twitter and workday of at worst day for tech in months. and one of the other companies that really did anticipate the 25% tariff, yes, that is william sonoma i suggest you stay with cramer
6:12 pm
6:13 pm
6:14 pm
there's an old saying, victory has 1,000 fathers, defeat is an orphan. today's defeat came from the two parent household the trade war with china coupled
6:15 pm
with fiasco that was friday's uber ipo i want to walk you through this defeat you might think that this sounds ridiculous how can one stock have as much impact as china ratcheting up tariffs on $60 billion of american exports whenever there is a huge highly visible offering that implodes, it zrets discredits the asset class. it is happening again right now. everybody who invested in the uber deal got burned that makes the whole market seem more treacherous than it is. so who is to blame for uber? >> uber's timing couldn't have been more terrible you're supposed to come public when the business is red hot but uber waited too long the ride sharing company's quote has been slowing for a while now. and they just had enough decelerating quarter and that is bad. it reminds me of the facebook deal remember, facebook came public
6:16 pm
when smart phones were eviscerated. you remember it was just eviscerated and the desktop oriented business. they had no strategy whatsoever. the business was doomed to fail necessity this the got one which only happened if the stock had been cut in half uber is now in similar position. the stock's in trouble until they figure out how to put the company on the path to profitability. we heard a lot of talk about competition and pro moesal pricing, oh, no! the underwriters should have pushed back hard on this one, especially after the collapse of the lyft deal. it's not clear if they could push back. they were a ridiculous unicorn valuations they filed $1,500 million at 76 and so you understand the lead underwriter had a problem. how can you value a company north of $76 billion if the
6:17 pm
fundamentals are deteriorated. you can't square that circle uber's $82 billion ipo valuation simply couldn't hold i think that price was a compromise between management and morgan stanley which bet that public would thirst for shares in such a well known company and put a lot of market orders to buy stock at the opening. i want to get a pop out of the gate after selling the shares, they had to get the public involved beforehand in the deal there wasn't enough demand otherwise. once you let regular individual investors participate en masse, that spike just can't happen normally this process is biassed towards big institutions money managers get most of the shares in the actual deal. then regular people bid up the stock in the after market. however, $45 most professionals weren't interests because they knew uber was slowing. and it didn't hurt that the company came on. it really helped the public came just as trump started his tariff intreess creo
6:18 pm
the next level that is one reason waits so hideous friday morning still that, wouldn't have mattered if the ipo had been priced correctly the underwriters should have found a level where there's way a lot of institutional demand. that would have upset the recent ib vestors at least people who participated in the deal on friday wouldn't have gotten burned so badly. when we get the $45 opening price talk, just at that very moment, i was able to see and talk to a number of floor brokers. they don't handle the big orders they all told me that at these levels, the deal was finished as buyers turned to sellers instantly. when you hear that imbalance, there is no way that morgan stanley can stabilize whatever happens. the only hope is to open it so low like at $42 so that the sellers get washed out and the stock turns around the stock opened at $42 and then went to $43 but couldn't get to $45.
6:19 pm
the result, attempt to avoid a down round is like an appointment in samara. and uber got obliterated down, down 11% frankly, they should have come public a year or two ago when the growth was still strong. but even failing that, the ipo could have worked. f. they accepted a much lower price. unfortunately, the process failed that's right the process. and that matters not just to uber but it tarnishes the entire market and the ipos that were higher out of the gate and obliterated and those that may be coming, i don't know it is more overhang we can do without. they're having a good laugh. only beyond meat today, you know what i have an impossible burger at oracle park. i'm speechless i mean is that really what you buy in a trade war are you kidding me all right. much more "mad money." today was tough. we're going to get it together,
