6:00 pm
you certainly drink one this weekend. happy fourth of july. >> karen finerman? >> yes dom, thanks for being with us. fun to have you. my final trade, wells fargo, good enough for fade it or trade it >> steve grasso, one >> costco, always my fourth of july trade 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 make you some money. my job is not just to entertain but to educate and teach, put it in context call me 1-800-743-cnbc or tweet me @jimcramer something for everyone that's what i thought after i saw the remarkable nonfarm ray poll this morning, where we
6:01 pm
created 4.8 million jobs, and that is much stronger than expected almost every single sector improved, bringing the unemployment rate down to 11.1%. isn't that the kind of news that makes people want to buy pretty much anything? then the rally did taper off near the end of the day. the dow only dwayne e gained 92. those are big numbers, but we got spoiled, didn't we what do these numbers mean what reflects the state of the labor market in the middle of june how does it impact your money? first, you need to understand that we're still nowhere near where we are before the pandemic struck we still have a lot of ground to make up. the economy was smoking hot. i, however, think it's a legitimate comeback. it's a legitimate comeback and a comeback gives you more latitude to buy stocks that
6:02 pm
depend on a healthy economy, not just an unhealthy one. but these are before the latest outbreak that's forcing many stocks to go back into lockdown mode, so it's a glimpse into a post covid future that we haven't arrived at this was a session that gave everyone, everyone with the exception of those utility lovers, some ammunition. you believe we're having a v-shaped recovery, okay, the labor report is pretty good. the jobless claims mean there's still plenty to be worried about. and if you're terrified of the pandemic, you only need to look at the stock market to know to -- >> buy, buy, buy -- >> the cramer covid-19 stocks. this number is why i keep recommending a barbell approach that's what we're doing with my charitable trust we have some exposure with the
6:03 pm
stay at home stocks, but we also have some industrials in case the recovery keeps rolling along. how is it possible that we can create so many jobs last month the shutdown was temporary once it ended, millions of people could go back to work the federal reserve and treasury department bemt over backwards to ensure that companies large and small wouldn't go under. $1200 in your pocket, $600 extra for the claims the reopening was going great. you could argue it was too great. so many people were going out that it triggered a second wave of infections. i wou now, small and medium size businesses are still being crushed, thanks to the need to maintain social distancing, which we must. a restaurant whose maximum occupancy has been cut in half can't make as much money i know you people don't want to wear the masks
6:04 pm
but you know what? texas just made it so you had to at the end of the day, we don't trade the kind of small businesses that are struggling here it's not what's underneath when you look at that crawl which the large companies that got bailed out by the fed and the treasury department, and those two entities are doing well if there's another lockdown giving these horrifying numbers from the south and southwest a possibility, we know what happens. you could be looking at a shutdown of restaurants, ho hospitali hospitality. there are sectors that were making a comeback that will be crushed. the numbers are horrifying, hence the strength of the cramer covid-19 index so there's something for everybody. but remember, there's nothing to be gleeful about which brings us to next week's game plan. there's not a lot of stock news monday, but the new also be dominated by the new covid
6:05 pm
numbers from the weekend i listen to dr. scott gottlieb every morning. he's the former fda chief, and he's been paying -- man, go on twitter if you missed him -- a grim picture of an out of control virus that will cause many of us to rethink our plans. a lot of things are going to be canceled it's become nuts that these sports organizations are all acting like they have games. wishful thinking i've said it since the super bowl, covid-19 is a brutal disease because it's so contagious that you don't want to go near anyone that might have vit, especially if they're singing or screaming i still feel that people aren't taking this seriously enough i am, and have become what i would say a nuisance advocate of masks. i'm just relentless. and i've been hector eed
6:06 pm
mercilessly on twitter i said, just get me what you hate, let me know. let's make a better mask so what happens monday we tallied the big weekends of hospitalizations, casualties, the higher they are, the more likely the covid index will climb. it could be enough to leave the averages higher, and let's not forget, what larry williams told us recently. he said there's almost always a july fourth of rally that lasts a day or two after the holiday he nailed this better than anyone if the covid numbers are bad, expect stay at home stocks to lead us higher if the covid numbers are good, maybe the recovery play takes us up on tuesday, we get some report results from paychecks and levi staus. paychecks is a paycheck process that caters to small and medium size businesses.
6:07 pm
as for levi's, they're moving hard into digital and personalization. stocks down a great deal who needs pant it is you can't go outside but it's not expensive it's a vaccine stock, probably we have people on camera saying that person is not wearing anything underneath. whatever bed, bath, and beyond reports on wednesday. the new ceo has had his hands full since taken over, given so much of it is called nonessential he needs to give us a plan i bet he delivers, but this is very much an uphill battle right now. thank heaven they have cash. thursday could be a house of pain walgreen's are the gang that couldn't shoot straight. i think they'll offer us the usual numbers, forecast bad. this market is so full of optimism, i would not chance shorting this stock.
6:08 pm
and friday, i'm wondering if we are going to -- we did print $2 trillion worth of money to keep the economy afloat business interruptions, insurance. the inflation hawks have been wrong year after year after year bottom line, nothing seems to matter anymore except which stocks to buy. penny stocks, crazy stocks, blue chips, dividends cruise ships you know what? it's staggering when you consider we still do have 11% unemployment and a out of o control pandemic the stock market is a proxy for big business, big business is bouncing back with a vengeance greg in new york, greg >> caller: hey, jim, what's up >> well, you know, i'm just enjoying the nasdaq rally. what's up? >> caller: i'm a new investor. a few months, i'm doing really well, and i'm looking to keep my momentum going
6:09 pm
i have a stock that is part of the aerospace and defense industry >> yeah. you know, that's a speculative stock. satellite communications is very, very difficult, because it's not -- this is the problem with satellites, people are -- they don't think it's reliable enough but you know what? that's a good speculation. we should do more on that. it's had a nice little run david in new york, david >> caller: hey, jim, wanted to ask you about coca cola. >> well, james quincy is doing a great job, but it's a convenience store play and people aren't driving. it is in many ways no longer the gross stock it used to be. but it yields 3.6% for income, why own a bond when you can own that with a common stock growth kicker. rick in florida, rick? >> caller: jim, happy fourth of july to you, your family
6:10 pm
you're amazing at this >> happy independence day to you, thank you >> caller: my question is on first horizon. i've owned it for a while, i know you mentioned it a couple of times on the show they completed the merger yesterday. the stock is just unresponsive i was hoping you could give me insight. >> this is just baffling 6.4% yield, down 44% brian jordan, a great banker best area in terms of business in the country i don't like banks, but it's hard to deny that first horizon isn't going to be a good investment john in washington, john >> caller: boo-yah, jimmy! >> yo! >> caller: jim, last week you mentioned albertson's new ipo and said it wouldn't be an idea to get in under $24, $25 has your opinion changed >> no, no.
6:11 pm
they liked lemonade today, and i get that i think they priced it very expensively. but remember, i like ipos that you can get in on. we have all these hot ipos and you say why didn't you buy that? albertson's i like because you can get in on it there is something for everyone after that employment number it is staggering bullish tonight on "mad money," when people are heading to the store less, shelf life extending technology is more important than ever. i'm talking to a private player who is leading the charge. and compan biotech stocks tied coronavirus vaccine are soaring, but are any worthwhile investments? and i'm going to give you my view, so stay with cramer.

6:15 pm
two weeks ago, cnbc rolled out its disrupter 50 list. these are often revolutionary companies that make shareholders a lot of money when they become public look at lemonade there was money to be made, ka ching, ka ching. i want to check in on number 34. they take left behind plant material, make it into a shield that you spray on fruits and vegetables and it keeps them from going bad, double the shelf life in our refrigeration. now the covid-19 has known our precarious our food supply is. i think they have a great future but let's big deep we are james rogers, the founder and ceo of appeal sciences. to learn more about his company
6:16 pm
and where it's headed. welcome back to "mad money." >> jim, good to be here. >> so the last time we saw you, everything was pretty smooth you go to the supermarket, there's food there, and appeal does something that makes it last longer. we are now in a food crisis, and it is an unbelievable amount of fear, just to go to the supermarket, and we want food we can trust. what does appeal do to make the food last longer >> jim, we've been in a food crisis food waste today is this invisible tax that's been imposed on our food system to the tune of $2.6 trillion annually by reducing that waste, we can free up all of that value back to everyone that participates in the food system, which is everyone that eats at appeal, we found a way to preserve food, so less of it
6:17 pm
ends up in the garbage and we can create better value for our customers and the planet >> we see companies like kroger that i talk to all the time. they obviously are -- they're the gold standard when it comes to grocery store supermarkets, and they have taken a liking to you guys >> yeah. kroger has been a tremendous partner for us last time i was on the show, we talked about the kroger partnership. since then we have rolled out our products in europe as well, with the largest grocers in germany and denmark. and we're just getting started >> so why did oprah and katy perry invest in apeel? >> they see the same future we do with all this waste and one in nine people going hungry, there's a massive opportunity to rebuild the food system. >> how about this new limes deal in the summer, i'm a huge lime guy.
6:18 pm
i want the limes to last longer. and like everything else, i feel like, i don't know, is this new, is this old, what can i do with it >> yeah. we're really excited just last week, we announced a partnership with shop rite stores in the northeast there. first brought it on line with limes. last time we spoke, we introduced a product for avocados, mandarins, oranges, more produce categories and more shoppers >> now, what happens to food that -- what can we do with food that's wasted now at a time there's giant food lines in this country? if you were in charge of the food supply system, how would you change it? >> you know, what we need is more time. the food system today is stretched to its max and in the time of covid, we see that if anything on the supply side is disrupted because of
6:19 pm
labor shortages, or on the demand side changes because of changing shopper frequency, the system snaps and it can't accommodate it so at apeel, we're focused on building the food on a foundation that can support more people and our planet. the belief is, the orange has the perfect wrapper already. we don't need to create a solution we can look to the orange, draw inspiration from that and use those same materials to teach those tricks with strawberries and cucumbers. >> as you expand, obviously your valuation goes up. you just did a big round how does that work i mean, did you need the money are you going to take the money to grow internationally, or is it just a steppingstone to a lot of companies becoming public now? >> yeah. we need the money to keep one the demand from our customers. >> that's fabulous, right? >> yeah.
6:20 pm
>> and do you have a factory to do this stuff, do you have plants that -- are you right on site with farmers? >> yeah, we are. we are offices in california and mexico, peru, the netherlands, spain, opening up an office in south africa, all to support the supply base that feeds us every single day >> i still see wax on my fruit why do they do that, and is that good for me? >> you know, monks figured out in the middle wages you can use wax on an apple and it would last longer. if you go into a store today, an organic apple still has bee's wax. so apeel comes in and says let's use food to reduce waste our partners realized 50% waste reduction and double digit sales growth >> so kroger was able to do a return on investment on apeel
6:21 pm
that can, over time, generate significant earnings per share game >> that's right. again, this food waste issue is at a $2.6 trillion issue >> one last question, why suspect walmart a customer i go to their stores, they could use you. >> this issue goes far beyond retail the system that's supporting our food system today, there's a way to add benefit to everyone, if we can give people more time >> i think you're one of the good guys doing good things for the planet that's james rogers, ceo of apeel. thank you so much, sir "mad money" will be back after the break.

6:24 pm
speculative stocks that have gotten too hot right now, there's one group in particular that's got me say concerned. i'm talking about the development stage buy yiotechs working on a covid vaccine i think they have gotten a little too rich for my blood every major pharmaceutical is lined up to do something with this thing i believe we'll get a workable vaccine. i'm not sure if it will make a lot of money it feels like every big pharma is chasing a vaccine that's a lot of competition. most of these countries have other prospects. but some are way too dependant on covid so when i see that novamax has doubled since may 12, you know what it does it doesn't make me fearful i'm not fearing anything it just makes me want to ring the register
6:25 pm
you zoom out, novaxx is way up over the year. these are staggering moves, people and i don't want these immense profits that you may have made to turn into losses. these stocks have started pulling back from their highs. you don't want to stick around when they lose their momentum. in the last few months, both companies have given you news. they both tell great stories, novamax will tell you they have a lot of experience developing vaccines for infectious diseases but when you see these stocks rallying like this, then you've got to take a tougher line be more rigorous if you're going to pay up for something here, wouldn't you
6:26 pm
rather by a company that's brought something major to the market novamax is not a young company, founded in 198, public in 1995 all that time, we have brought zero commercial vaccines to market when we had the ceo on the show, he talked about how they had a lot of success with infectious diseases, specifically in animal testing. animals. the truth is, novamax hasn't had a single vaccine approved in over 30 years. never had a year which they made $36.25 million in revenue. but one thing they've been able to do, they know how to get the public excited about their stock. of course, every time it takes off, it proves for ephemeral we've seen this with their flu and ebola vaccine. there's talk of an rsv vaccine that's been struck out for years after a failure in 2016 and one last year that brought the stock
6:27 pm
to an all-time low even before the pandemic, novamax started bouncing back, because they are finally making improvement on the flu vaccine but is it likely they have a suboptimal track record if they're not the first ones across the covid finish line, there's not a whole lot to fall back on. how about novia? it was founded in 1979, took its current form a dozen years it's been publicly traded since the 1990s. they've never been able to bring a major vaccine to market. they've been a development stage company for 41 years they use dna to create targeted immuno therapies.
6:28 pm
six years ago, they got in a back and forth with a biotech repo reporter he started asking questions about the company's hpv vaccine. the stock crashed. now they're working on a flu vaccine since 2009 maybe they'll get it right they've been working on cancer vaccines there are a lot of irons in the fire, but they don't seem to be making much progress as i'd like again, mainly a covid player right now. and inovio, it's a long shot both companies like to highlight their high profile partnerships. nothing wrong with that. but you need to understand these institutions are spreading their bets when you see these deals, the devil is in the details.
6:29 pm
last week, we got more color when we got the company's ak reality is a little more complicated. novax only has access to $145 million up front so much is earmarked for manufacturing, so they're out of luck if the vaccine fails. so when you see these partnership deals, the headline nirms what they get, if everything goes perfectly. all of this would bother me less if both companies weren't taking advantage of these high prices by selling stock when we spoke to the ceo in may, he said they had enough money. novax has $58 million. inovio now has $158 million in
6:30 pm
shares so it makes me worry they're just repeating the same old patterns maybe this time it will be different. i like both the guys, but i don't think i would put money on it givenen how much these stocks have run inovio, last thursday the company lost a court battle with a supplier they were looking to allow a tech transfer to allow them to outsource the manufacturing of their covid vaccine candidate. the judge said no, which means even if they succeed at creating a vaccine, they might not be able to ramp up production then this today, they gave us an interim update on the covid vaccine. several analysts were far from impressed. the bottom line, i know this is hard to take but i really do think that at one point i liked both stocks
6:31 pm
much more, much lower levels long shot specs. that was a good premonition people would get fired up about them but i think it's time to ring the register a lot of risk, less reward allen in maine, allen. >> caller: hi, jim first time caller, long-time listener want to thank you very much for everything you do. you've educated millions of people, and made them better, able to save goals, college, et cetera >> you are so nice thank you. >> caller: my stock is amgen closed right around 58, morningstar says it has a fair value at $219. time to take money

♪ before earning season rolling around in a couple of weeks, i want to circle back around to something very important. last week we got results from a company called accenture, the consulting outsourcing and technology firm that helps big businesses figure out their tech needs. in other words, accenture gives us a glimpse at what's happened in the technology space, and that's where the money is. it's huge, especially at a time like this, where we don't have a clear picture.
6:37 pm
you can argue the pandemic has forced businesses to spend fortune enabling the stay at home economy last week, though, accenture settled that question once and for all. they reported better than expected quarter and solid cost controls when you drill down, it's very clear that the stay at home thesis is winning. the cloud is crushing it right now. okay, i'm a little late to the party here one of my favorite analysts, lisa ellis, she is fantastic, published a terrific piece last friday where she broke down the pin action from accenture's quarter. i'm going to walk you through the highlights i want you to understand how big tech works on the wmpconference call, the o julie sweet pointed out 70% of business is from digital, the cloud and security features. listen to this --
6:38 pm
>> meanwhile, they're getting lots of business from the industries in the covid blast radius travel, retail, energy, aerospace, defense, industrials. put it all together, it was very impressive at a time when many people were terrified that accenture's business wouldn't hold up, they delivered a quarter much better than people feared, even though the economy is in rough shape, you have to think of accenture as a partner, rather than just a vendor the pivot to the stay at home economy has been gigantic for acn. so what's that mean for tech as a whole? let's go back to the tape. julie sweet explains it.
6:39 pm
>> something i've stressed over and over again on "mad money" so that you can get in these stocks she goes on -- >> and that's why i keep telling you that we've got five years of dijtization packed into three months everybody needs to up their digital game if they want to make it through this difficult period so what are accenture's customers buying okay, what does julie sweet tell us she repeatedly mentions i.t. and modernization as an area of high demand she calls out cloud migration and cloud-based data naming and named amazon web services,

6:41 pm
perfectly explains something i've been trying to drive home, where the cloud stocks and commerce enablelers keep roaring. covid-19 created a world where the test digitized companies win. that's created a massive wave of new investment with or without covid, accenture is a winner it's time to stop underestimate thing fantastic company. stick with cramer and with cnbc. here's a look at what's on tonight. >> tonight at 7:00 p.m., meet one of the texas bar owners suing the state over having to shut down again. plus, the website, holding south florida businesses accountable for violating health rules and the masks that are most effective and least effective. see the amazing video. all tonight at 7:00 p.m.

they used to split all the time, and it's true. but something changed. big institutional investors, yes, they're shareholders. they don't want them to. >> boo >> when professionals trade, they may commissions per share so if amazon does a 10 for 1 split, which we all want, they pay ten times as much on each transaction. and none of these companies wants to alienate the big companies that own their stocks. thanks to fractional trading, it's not your job anymore. you want to join the $1,000 and up club, that's how you do it. fr fractional trading means you can put in a small position here and there. i know it's less exciting than playing penny stocks, but it's a much better strategy over the long haul. don't believe me, i'm going to give you a quick story way back in the mid '80s at

goldman sachs, the head of the research was lee cooper. he was a great teacher he had me read berkshire hathaway's annual share hold letter i read everything i could about that company, including many years worth of annual letters. we had a nice talk and said pitch it to my clients so i tried to convince them all to buy berkshire no they wouldn't touch it they refused to listen why? pr because it was a $200 stock. way too much for anybody to buy back then. $200 stock now it's at $267,551 stock i could have made my clients fortunes if they hadn't cared to much about the dollar amount

please don't repeat their mistake. so please, i'm begging you, read the register on some of these super speculative names and swap into fractional share of an amazon or tesla. over the long-term, these are all much better bets i'm not telling you to give up on the super speculative plays, just bank some of those gains and put them in a safer, better place. please stick with cramer.

notice something different you probably do. this is a mask go on twitter at jim cramer and tell me why you hate masks it may be the only real weapon we have other than distance between people it's really weird. once we solve it, once we have people wear masks, you know what's going to happen it's going to go away and we're going to go back to our lives. it's hard to beat this thing, but we can wear these as a bridge to a vaccine. consider them just a bridge and tell me what you hate about them and we're going to fix it, okay? although this one i think is sensational. i like to say there's always a bull market somewhere and i promise to find it for you here on "mad money. i'm jim cramer and i'll see you next time
