tv Mad Money CNBC July 21, 2020 6:00pm-7:00pm EDT
6:00 pm
i like the new hires and there's a lot of expenses to cut >> tim >> we talked precious metals tonight. silver is going to continue to outperform >> thanks for watching we'll see you back here tomorrow at 5:00. "mad 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 trying to make you money. my job is to entertain, educate and teach you say call or tweet me @jimcramer. it's all about the mask, not the jim carry movie.
6:01 pm
yeah, president trump started promoting mask wearing on twitter. a major shift and the stocks have been fitted from a reopening economy are higher today and that's how the dow jones gained 160 out performing the s&p 500 but trouhe nasdaq .% the cramer covid-19 index is out. the recovery stocks are in at least for today our country has the worst coronavirus outbreak because we turned wearing a mask into a cultural issue the president tweeted a stark black and white picture of himself wearing a maface mask wh the explanation saying many say it's patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't social distance there is nobody more patriotic
6:02 pm
than me, your president. end quote. well, kind of the only one why does it matter because president trump is the de facto leader of the anti mask faction. that's why he spent months refusing to wear a mask in public and framing this as an issue of personal freedom. that emboldened people to take ridiculous stands against mask mandates invoking the first amendment. the founding pafathers had thisi mind when they came up with it we seen this rebellion all over the place. mask free bar hoppers in florida, which i may remind you is one of the most contagious viruses in history costco came under fire you had people all over the country, the karens among them
6:03 pm
calling for boycotts and taking away hard civil rememberer eli liberties. taking it serious lly lets you e back to normal this never should have been a cultural issue if we can get enough people wearing masks, we can stop the virus from spreading we would be in better shape if everyone listened to the public health experts we have angry people refusing to wear masks ch a security guard in michigan got mo murdered for telling someone to wear a mask. brian kemp, this guy is an elected official so respect that he sued the mayor of atlanta keasha lance bottoms for implementing a mandatory mask law. there is the holms of governors.
6:04 pm
kemp arguing that quote, her disastrous policies threatened the lives and livelihood of the citizens end quote the mayor defended her position being in sync with the federal government's health care honestly, you know what kemp sounded like a throw back to the older strain of georgia politics. back when states' rights politicians like lester maddox used to defend jim crow. back then they wanted to defend the fraud that was acceseparatet equal. give me convenience or give me death. if anything happens despite the public outrage costco reported same store sells growth the anti mask contin gent might be noisy, they have another principal they don't want to die for toilet paper once companies realize they could risk wearing masks without losing customers we saw a wave, walmart, walgreens, target,
6:05 pm
kohl's, cvs, you name it the responsible thing to do. the move so pronounced when dixie which didn't seem to want to fall in line with masks changed positions yesterday and announced a mask mandate, how could they not the states that resistered had the biggest spikes in covid cases. more cases means more hospitalizations and when hospitals get overwhelmed, states have no choice but to go back into lockdown everyone realized masks are how you avoid shutting things down no mask, no freedom. i'll tell ya, no mask, no job. plus, name me another northerner that wants to go south on vacation now i'll take a pass unless i can get under the dome into the nshlgts ba bubble if they invote me to the bubble i'm in and that's where the president comes in he's equate the to wear a mask he switched sides and suddenly
6:06 pm
if you don't wear a mask you're on the other side of the president, wow, they are strong trump supporters this is a big deal scared to death of him they listen cob venverts and a president. the result, if we can get mask compliance to 80%, japan, south core korea returned to normalcy because they wear mir mask for young we can but 21 days and we can get this under control we're up at night and scared to death and get outside.
6:07 pm
ir wish the president would come around to mask sooner but never better late than never the stance cuts the legs from the anti mask crowd. plus we have so many good masks available including haynes briefs made by haynes, same stuff they use for briefs. throw in the possibility of another stimulus coming in and no wonder wehave a continuatio of last week's rally, two of thirds of the s&p 500 are down for the year and that's how you get retailers to run and increase the rising with chevrons and app session for next to othering but a bottom under the oil and buy near if you want the stocks why the bank stocks can charge ahead with two of the most cover vehic stocks rallied and went on as america reopened and china turning positive, move pepsi up to and footlocker managed to run with nike and pvh viewed as
6:08 pm
being shopping stocks. how long can this rally and recovery stocks continue i think this stops being a culture war issue. we hoong -- hang onto the journal about a vaccine trial and can get this contained like the rest of the world when this first started, i went to the mask stock i was the right move masks aren't really about protecting you but other people in case you're infected but i know younger people 15 to 24 are hard at work creating masks that protect you and others as part of the x prize.org/mask competition that we put together bottom line the president of the united states is encouraging people to wear masks rather than discourage hthem
6:09 pm
the no mask contin ggent listens to him and fears him and we can beat this long before we get a vaccine. it will be weeks before we see progress be patient and don't give up on your mask. paul in california, paul >> caller: yes, hello, mr. cramer, this is paul here in california i want to make it brief. camping world is the notion in my mind and the chart is incredible they raised dividends 12.5% and the special dividend . 9.9% and advanced five people in the corporation to better positions, acknowledging the cfr is karo in bell do i hang on >> hang on the company is doing well but you have a downturn. it is one of the best plays on the outdoors and he's a good manager and a good man and i would buy the stock up here. let's go to aaron in illinois,
6:10 pm
aaron? >> caller: hi, jim, been listening for awhile first time caller. my question is about ticker oxy. thoughts on the 14 at a big jump today and curious about your thoughts >> it went and sold and went down i can't buy a company that has such a damaged balance sheet buy parsley energy, pe which is now down to the least flaring so the post environmental i like trump is urging mask wearing, urging. wow. lynn in texas. >> caller: boo-yah from spring, texas with face masks on of course ads in the awards cards business and representing, they tanked for covid pre uviously flying
6:11 pm
above 400. >> they missed the quarter i'll look again because lynn from texas wants me to look at it, i'll look at it. i'm glad we got people at it in the 200s let me come back ben and i will go over it and if we think there is a comeback, we'll do it. guys times are changing, it's about the mask put it on. twitter is reeling from the colossal hack that took price owner as few days ago. are other organizations at risk? i'm talking to one company to help keep your data secure and i never seen a movie like this i'm breaking down my views on the nasdaq and logitec posted better than expected results i'll break down the numbers with the company's ceo. i urge you to put your mask on like the president says and stay with cramer.
6:12 pm
6:13 pm

6:14 pm
6:15 pm
take kta, the cloud based security software company that handles in verification credentials, some need extra protection when some are being forced to work from home they have been a huge winner for us this year the stock is up 140 % from the march lows, these levels expe e expensive and estimates but a great long-term story hard to justify but wow. let's take a closer look with the bank cofounder to get a better sense where it is headed. welcome back to "mad money". >> thanks, jim, good to be back on. >> people ask me what do you do? we got this pandemic it's what you do at your best. it's a vent crecent call may 28u co-founder said fedex wanted to be transitioning to you but what
6:16 pm
ended up happening >> fedex at the beginning of covid had a big challenge in 220 countries and many go through the countries and fedex and like everybody else, they got the fast forward button pushed on the digital transformation they had to get online and all of these 85,000 em employer yeahs cyea -- employees connected remotely to be effective and we partnered to do that. they got their applications rolled out through okta that enabled them to be productive and secure at the same time. it was a great team work and happy to have them. >> 36 hours transitioned 80,000 employees? >> yeah, that's the beauty of the cloud, jim there is no infa frrastructure o mess with and detailed for customers to do and built the
6:17 pm
service to facilitate the transition it's off to the races when they are ready to go. >> we have a fabulous staff and a member told me you asked about what seton hall did because she goes to seton hall business school and loves okta and people that will go to school online better learn what you do for a good student. >> yeah, it's this idea that we are about identity and helping customers be successful with identity and forget how prevalent it is in every industry we talk about global logistics in fedex but a university, seton hall with 10,000 students, which guess what the most in person thing you could imagine is going to college, right they had to get remote, too. he rolled out the applications for 10,000 faculties and students to be successful in this new world we're in. >> you also, there is a great quote that you talked about
6:18 pm
about let's say microsoft needs help, google needs help, sales force needs help they turned to you because you are the neutral third party everybody trusts how did you earn that reputation and why is everyone saying you know what? i can give business to todd and not worry about being compromised. >> it's really earned brick by brick. we built this company over the last 11 years and the foundation is customers we have over 8,000 happy successful customers and those customers are the greatest voice on the brand if you look at cloud companies, the ones you mentioned, sales force, workday, amazon, google they listen to customers when customers say you need to work with okta to be successful, that has a ton of leverage in the marketplace to turn it into success for the customers.
6:19 pm
>> i love on your website, two videos one is if you're internal and want okta, they have to have a company devoted. the other is customers and trying to be sure a customer is on board and can't -- basically, got to be trusted. i feel after what happened with twitter, i'm concerned that someone will hack me and say i think okta will get a takeover bid tonight at $400. is there any way to assure that can't happen >> it's interesting. the world we live in is this information is all available we can go on twitter and see what people think and collaborate and use these platforms. so it's amazing for people and for society but the downside is the security risk. the challenge every organization is facing and every person is facing is how do we balance the two and make this technology reach potential without sacrificing security
6:20 pm
when you look at twitter, it's important on twitter, jim, you use two-factor authentication and tools to make it rock solid and if you're a company, you provide the same tools to your employees. their competing experience will be lockdown and secure as your customer's computing and kper ye -- experience. >> i don't want their tools, i want okta's tools. >> we're happy to provide our tools to anyone. there is a bigger opportunity here that's the consciousness of the industry to realize that we have to balance security with the views to reach the potential. >> so i am, again, concerned, say about the election i want to do mail in ballot. i don't want to go because i'm afraid of covid. how do i know that the government is going to get that right and i'm not going to be hacked and my vote won't be changed?
6:21 pm
>> you know, this is -- to talk about technology and security being important, another foundational thing is democracy and there is really nothing more important in terms of our future success as a country and society. this is really critical and we originally did a survey where we surveyed 12,000 people in the u.s. and internationally, as well and their sentiments echoed what yours did people want to be safe of the people not registered to vote, the big reason why 14% of them aren't registered is because it takes too long to sign up. it's too hard to register and they don't trust the security of it and that's an identity problem. >> so you can help us? >> you think about the prevalence of identity and these problems we talked about, fedex and seton hall 1k3 and da macemd people can't sign up and do it
6:22 pm
remotely that the exciting for us and thinking how we can help do that securely. >> we're counting on you because frankly after what happened with twitter, a lot of us are afraid and i know you'll take care of it because you have a great record todd, ceo of okta. >> thanks, jim, we're working hard. >> thank you very much "mad money" is back after the break.
6:24 pm
somehow i got a lot of press for talking about how the moves in some big cap tech stocks are insane i can't believe it was even note worthy when the nasdaq is dominated by a hand full of names, apple, microsoft, facebook, google and accounts for 23% of the s&p 500, you got to admit something is odd when you figure the stocks could vault by 50 billion, maybe this time is different
6:25 pm
you might think that sounds uncontroversial but these are fighting words on wall street. when you say this time is different, it means you're trying to justify something insane i'm pointing out i've never seen anything like this move led by a hand full of stocks. i'm not condoning, not judging we heard comparisons to the.com era. there was good companies in 1999, had a lot of data, a ton of garbage at best run by jokers at worst entire businesses were big pump and dump schemes we don't have anything like that this time is different the tech stocks roaring represent fast-growing companies that are lucrative that is what portfolio managers want. each of the tech titan are ag n genero generous the valuations may seem crazy but they are not like the rest of the market. not wrong, just different. not like anything we've seen let's take them one by one apple has a $1.86 trillion
6:26 pm
market cap and have a highly sticky revenue service stream and the, r -- 5 g cycle. there is nothing else like apple. they have a $1.6 trillion market cap so they own the p.c. and important applications with a rapidly growing cloud infrastructure azure there is nothing like microsoft. amazon $1.565 and trillion market and the best cloud in infrastructure business not to mention an advertising business. this is a company that's proved the metal is the best way to get anything during the pandemic that makes most of us afraid to go out so we stay home and order from them. there is nothing else like amazon alphabet owns search with google and video with you tube. they are essential to advertisers. there is nothing else like alphabet facebook is millions of users who use the platform to launch their businesses and don't care about any of the stuff you read
6:27 pm
about. facebook may not be growing that fast but instagram is still use and ever since they embrace small business, the stock has been on fire hence the $700 billion evaluation they may not like the politics but there is nothing else like facebook we hear the stocks are expensive but run by some of the smartest ceos as long as bias usiness remains, these stocks can keep climbing what makes them hard to value? most money's index is stuck did. when 60% of the stocks are run i by index, they won't sell. they don't need to sell stock to hold float the insiders aren't dumping stock like in 1999 and 2000 and home gamers love etfs, which is another reason there seems to be so few natural sellers at these levels can they go down of course. here is what sends them down if the economy gets stronger and
6:28 pm
get covid under control by having everyone wear masks or getting a vaccine, these stocks will under perform, i'm telling you. they will go down if congress passes a generous stimulus package. that's bad that won't rollback the trillion dollars valuations for give or take for one simple reason the time is different as apple, microsoft are some of the greatest companies in history. m mispriced, maybe these companies are real and dominant and hard to part with for something else even up here. jack in new york, jack >> caller: hey, jim, thanks for taking my call. >> of course up more in the world is used by china.
6:29 pm
free port is gold so i like gold eddie in carolina, eddie >> caller: hello, jimmy chill, how are you doing today? >> doing well. how are you? >> caller: i'm great i was reading an article yesterday stating that berkshire hathaway lost more market value in 2020 than all but pour u.fou publicly traded companies. berkshire rebounded 18 or 19% while the snp is up over 40% is berkshire worth holding on to at this point? >> it is berkshire would tell you look, it's not going to do well necessarily well in a really great rocket market but great, smart people not just warren buffet to give them up is a mistake let's go to vanessa in north carolina, vanessa? >> caller: long-time listener.
6:30 pm
my stock is q 2 trading close to an all-time high and i'm curious your opinion joabout the fund mentals. what price target can you buy? >> this is a good company. but you're paying a very, very high -- this is cloud based virtual banking. people love -- stock market people love the virtual cloud banking. i'm not in favor i prefer anything involving banking, jp morgan there you go i've never seen moves like this. i haven't. i think that's what i'm really saying not like wow, let get the stocks higher these are some of the greatest companies in history are their stocks too high? they are hard to value. much more on "mad money. schools have reopening plans and remote working continues, is it worth considering the stock here then plug power, one i know you love surged in this market
6:31 pm

6:34 pm
sales up 23% year over year and raise the full year forecast as if you watch the show last time, the ceo is on, you probably would have known it's all about timing why the stock didn't go up today they had the misfortune on reporting where the stocks roared and covid winners went out of style so we have to ask, maybe this is the chance to get in one of those reasonable sell offs let's drill down with the president and ceo of logitech international and a clear picture of the great quarter welcome back to "mad money". >> thanks for having me back, jim. >> just while we were putting the show together, best buy reported they broke in and said that business is up 15% since the stores reopened just now i know you do business with best buy. this must be an unbelievable time in the last couple months. >> it's been a remarkable time you know, we first all the business moved online and then
6:35 pm
people like best buy have actually performed surprisingly well moving their business online and now that the stores are back open, i'm not surprised they are at 15%. >> do you think if covid were -- not going to happen but if covid were put out of its misery tomorrow, would these go back to where they are or is this secular and just going to keep happening regardless >> i think, you know, we've been after these secular trends i've been on your show and talked about them before video everywhere, the rise of e sports, work from anywhere including your home. we view these secular trends for years and so we see this just one big acceleration without going back this is kind of a one way street. >> it looks like because i was looking at european numbers, this is not an american story. your asian numbers, not an american story these are very impressive growth in someways asia bigger than
6:36 pm
her here. >> we were up 33% in asia and 20% in the u.s asia, as you know is dominated by china for us and china is farther along on the pandemic road so it givers us optimism. >> i saw this percentage increase in webcams. i mean, i guess you're not going to have a p.c. without a web come, right? >> a lot of people have laptops they have to put somewhere they get awkward angles. webcam gives you a good one and a much better picture if you have a high quality webcam so i'm incredibly bias. webcams have done extremely well it's flying. >> look, we see a lot of guests since the pandemic started and i wish they had the resolution you have in your picture a lot of it is trash because people haven't called or gotten
6:37 pm
it where they got it from. it's not expensive chuck robins will be mad web x is great and an amazing product. i was on it yesterday. you have a similar look. >> yeah, you know, our webcams, they are super high quality. we're focused on webcams for business you get a better picture as a result you get a really good zoom appearance and most people prefer it. most of us are on all day long and looking at yourself over and over again and it's a downer if you don't look as good as you could. getting a webcam does pay off, even psychologically. >> one reason estee lauder is doing so well, the resolution is so good you have to throw some makeup on. >> absolutely. you can get makeup or a logitech
6:38 pm
webc webcam. >> true. gaming up 38%. tank two, ea, logitech did better than all of these. >> you could call us the nike of e sports but we're the company that tries to equip the gamers whether pros or people that want to be or people that just want to have fun. >> and then last -- look, most of the colleges won't be able to go back. should they be ordering logitech stuff now? if they wait for back to school, will there be enough >> we're working like crazy to make sure there is enough for colleges and education of all levels, education health care. so we've really expanded our capacity to make sure people are ready. we're ready for what we think is coming you might have seen our ipad accessories business was up 20%
6:39 pm
but it was up to 50% in education and when we look out ahead of that, we see an even higher growth curve. education will be big for us you'll be 1-1 student to the computing device with webcams and everything. >> i'm absolutely convinced that if you wait until august and you have a kid going to college. i know you're working 24/7 but you might not be able -- it's a high quality problem but you might not be able to meet the demand from what i see happening in this country. >> the interesting thing is it's really happening oall over the world, japan, europe and a very strong education business now in japan. so i think you're right and we're bullish on education for our business we're bullish on health care most verticals are super strong and of course, it's the broad work from homes, not going to go away people have been -- people are getting used to this and liking it they may want to socialize but

6:49 pm
. let's see incredible moves in the hydrogen fuel cells thanks to the fabulous run in tesla. everything connected to electric vehicles is red hot. we've been burned by the fuel cell stocks before every few years they come back in style in the wall street fashion show and fall party again because the technology, it's too early i got to wonder could this time be different are they an idea whose time has come consider plug pow there makes the technology for a more efficient type of forklift, one that can be charged much faster than legacy models in other words, this is a new real company with real customers including amazon, home depot, walmart. there is also great ambitions they want to be a component part of an electric vehicle business as soon as infrastructure supports it.
6:50 pm
that ambition is why the stock is more than doubling since may. again, plug power is publicly traded for more than 20 years. this time, though, plug power has real revenue and positive earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation last year it closed on two important acre sixths to make it on the hydrogen fuel cell business and i could see it going either way, which is why we need more information. so let's check in with andy marsh, the president and ceo of plug power mr. marsh, welcome to "mad money". >> well, pleasure to meet you, jim and please call me andy. >> andy, i'll do that. so -- >> okay. >> plug power is an exciting stock for a long time. it's had ups and downs is that now over, andy, given the two acquisitions and the base of clients that won hydrogen fuel cells. >> jim, when i take a step back
6:51 pm
during this recent pandemic, 45% of retail food moved through plug power's products and many of the internet home grown retail people received came through plug power's products. as you mentioned in the introduction, this is a real company with real business the acquisitions complete the complete total solution so for amazon, we built the hydrogen station and provide the fuel cells and provide the aftermarket service and now we can provide them green hydrogen. >> let's talk about that you said and committed in all of your publications that you will never do anything but green. that that is just the way of the world for you. why is this the cleanest fuel? >> you know, when you think about green hydrogen, you have to think about the green stock
6:52 pm
i think people understand clearly if you take solar, you take wind, if you take hydro power and you combine it with plug power's electros, the outputs green hydrogen with zero carbon footprint and jim, we're not doing this because our customers told us they want green solutions and this is how we went about solving the problem they put in front of us. >> all right so elon musk who is revered in this country in the stock market part of the country, famous recalled -- called you fool cells, not fuel cells. why should i believe you over elon musk? >> i think elon musk has done some of the coolest things in the world. landing a rocket in the middle of an ocean, building tesla, but
6:53 pm
you know, when you start thinking about why batteries don't work for commercial vehicles long term, especially things like class three to class a trucks, fuel cells are one-tenth the size and much lighter so as dhl told me, do they want to be carrying batteries around in their delivery vans or do they want to be delivering packages so i listen to dhl people buy products. i got to tell you, i'm hoping one day mr. musk buys from plug power because we would be happy to work with him. >> very exciting i have been a huge believer in the gar air products you bought a hydrogen company. how did you get that and where does it make it fit in to make the end market product cheaper and more fficient? >> so jim, first i am the
6:54 pm
biggest seller of hiydrogen for fuel when we look at competitive landscape long term, so much of it has to do with the lower cost renewable's and if you're thinking about solar power and wind power at four to five cents a kilowatt hour, you can provid hydrogen at the same cost you can producing that hiydrogen frm natural gas. if you're going to buy gas, which is coming from a fossil fuel or gas, which is carbon neutral, i think our customers told us they want gas that's carbon neutral many of the folks we buy from today will be partners in the future. >> you have partners that own stock and these are great
6:55 pm
