>> that's all for o'option happy holiday, happy new year. stay tuned "mad money" with jim cramer starts now hey, i am cramer welcome to "mad money," welcome to cramer america. i am trying to make you some money. my job is to educate and teach you, call me at 1-800-743-cnbc, or tweet me @jim cramer or will be madmoney.cnbc.com, covid

release and vaccines the nasdaq declining seven base points had nothing to do with covid. it had everything to do with tesla emissions of s&p 500 that means the whole index needs to be rebalanced to make room for a stock that just won't quit tesla closed up to $39 it does not get high flying than tesla. to make room for tesla and s&p index funds. at the keep coming back to tesla because it captivated a whole generation of teslas who don't mind paying off a $60 billion

technology company that makes cars i think it is the most important story in years we have seen this before with jeff bezos netflix became a national past time, right tesla taking it up to 11. it becomes an ultimate love the product, buy the stock amazon and netflix have the same dynamics you don't see people worshipping bezos. they worship elon musk in a way tesla has been a lottery ticket for paying out for a youth number of people index funds can't give you terms. you don't have to like elon musk the guy called me a simulation

you should respect his ability to make money for you. i bet tesla is more upside as musk keeps meeting his target. i am thrilled the stock makes so much money, i am ecstatic that it helps a whole new generation fall in love like stock picking like i did in 1979 once the index fund is finished selling, i am betting santa claus rally resumes. with that in mind, let's go to our game plan. first of all. >> god, i have to work this weekend looking like this. i have saturday football we'll have to see the faith of moderna vaccine. the meeting on saturday and sunday is a formality. if everything goes as planned,

we'll come in on monday knowing that we have a second vaccine. they can't make a deal the next couple of days, well, that's negative if they give up on talks, if the moderna vaccine gets approved, i think that's terrific. that could bring in more new money to the stock market. we want this to continue there seems to be millions of vaccines lost in transition from the pfizer factory pfizer is saying they got millions of doses sitting at the white house or somehow who knows? hopefully things get sorted out over the weekend, too. i would not count on it. still, the situation is early. the moment the people get the

vaccine, for the case load to peaks, it could take a while unless we have that solution, there is still one morally in the travel leisure stock, they're moving up in anticipation, i would shot sell those at all the thing that's most reassuring in the market is nothing to do with the virus at all. $5 trillion. there are so many investors waiting for the sell-off so they can buy off at a low level the stimulus talks fell apart. we may have a couple down. i expect the market just bounce right back if we get a stimulus package, i expect the big box retailer should do really well. we got incredible news tonight after market close nike, a bona fide blow-out it was astonishing

second, the fed announced the banks could resume buy backs and jp morgan which is nike - nike -- $30 billion. this could be huge we don't haves any major earnings we could have a couple of pretty informative. first, we hear from carmax that could give us on the red hot automarket the only alternative is a car. of course carmax stock has been a range bound ever since we started getting the positive vaccines the home builders have been roaring. that's essentially the same story. people moving from the city to the suburbs. second we get results from

cintas if cintas is doing well, that means small and medium size businesses are holding up better than we think. finally paychex, they are importa important. paychex has a flock of smal small/medium size customers. short term it tends to be -- the man from fed heaven to the banks, this whole thing feels like too good to be true tesla seems like a fairy tale. the bottom line is tesla isra is real. the border rally isra real, too even if this market givers you vertigo. the believers had been running circles around the skeptics for

months and months. i don't see it changing any time soon let's go to ezra in south carolina >> should i wait for monday or should i wait for better entry point? >> probably i would have to wait when they report >> etsy, square and paypal and let's do also shopify. these have run so much anybody tells you not to owe them are making a mistake. buy some and wait for down i say that for all four of those stocks those are the charmers i want to go to lenny in florida. >> evening >> i have been thinking with the coronavirus going on some people are not walking more, they'll need the best shoes to get grocery what better walking shoes to get

but skechers the best is nike we got good data point james in virginia. james. >> booyah, professor cramer. >> let's go to work! >> always, man i have been with you for a long time i became a young man years ago and i just happened to discover "mad money" and i have been riding with you all throughout our journ our journeys together. i have a question on something i want to learn about truck patterns and stock and you speak about it >> all right >> and then february of this year, the one that's mind

when you look at the skyrocket death toll is clear that we are doing something wrong. according to dr. minna from harvard. they should have been trying to turn out a lot of ever so slightly quality test with much shorter turn around. dr. mina's approach, well, it is pretty radical he says widespread of antigen tests at home could work if we can only take $1 billion to scale up production so every household in america could get a

20 packs of these rapt tests let's go straight to the source of the professor of epidemiol y epidemiology, dr. mina, welcome to "mad money. >> thanks a lot, happeny to be here >> i have been following your work for a long time, you have been saying over and over again that we did not have the right amount of test and we did not know what we were doing. the way to stop the spread and this was literally in february, it was almost too late if we did some sort of kit that works and cheap, we may not let it happen. you saw it coming. >> yes, testing is front and center as one of the major problems throughout this pandemic especially in the united states. testing is the only way to know

that they have it before they go on and infect other people it is the need for rapid and acceptable and frequent testing is huge. y yet, we have failed at every step to make it assessable to americans. >> we could inexpensively have strips that we can do at home that'll tell us whether we are infectio infectious >> right i have them here these are the paper strips it works just like a pregnancy test it is a paper strip, you swab the front of your nose and drop the swab into a small tube you put the paper strip into the tube one line means you are negative and two lines mean you are positive >> there is got to be some cash. >> well, you need doctors' care.

it is not 100% accurate. none of those things hold water. none of those things hold water just like when we had pregnancy tests which i remember it was a battle for years eat can detect people long after the thin infectious. the people are not there anymore but the dna is still is. these antigen tests can pick up positive cases when they are infectious they do it in a time frame that's relevant. we continue to compare them to pcr based testing which the majority of time that somebody's pcr is ositive, they no longer have the infectious virus so these tests be negative. it makes it look bad but it is an accurate test 99% sensitivity

to detect people when they are infectious >> and our country is using it and having good luck with it >> we start to see more and more country rolling it out we saw massive effort if you go out to the community, you test half of your community and you are able to capture all of those cases and stop them from transmitting in the next cycle, you are very quickly going to drop drop incidents ac the whole population >> this seems silly. you can't get infected by someone if that person is there to give you infection. so infections have to plummet.

>> that's right. >> the whole idea that i would like to see is we scour these tests up sometimes they look like this. it has the piece of paper and side of it if we can sale icale it and we program that put into people's home it is $1 billion to scale these up and another 5 to $10 billion over the whole year to get all americans to be able to test, just to put it in perspective. that's like one, one thousand of what we have spent so far of this virus it is cheap, people brush their teeth, they use the coronavirus test twice a week. that's a minute out of people's week it takes about 30 seconds each time we do the test. that would be enough to give enough people understanding that they are infectious and they are able to stay home. even if we can stay home just

for three or four days with the virus like this that's spreading so quickly that would be a massive gain to slow the spread of transmission. >> i am going on this campaign with you i have been thinking about this for a while. i have worked for the mask campaign your campaign is better than anything pushing with you hey, also, nobody makes any money off of it. maybe that's why maybe you and i are too cynical. dr. mina, thank you so much for coming on. i follow your stuff. that's dr. mina of epidemiology, making sense "mad money" is back after the break. this holiday at t-mobile,

big publicly traded for positive cash. these spacs won't stop we learn four more they keep oncoming and coming. they can just pop out as in standpoi instant stocks last week the spacs hit. many of it bounces back. i know you want to hear about them we are going to do the research for you on "mad money. it is my mission to shine a light on electrical place. i care about esg and i care about the environment and i care about slowing down or stopping

fossil fuel sometimes in my life tonight we got another one that may be good. it is called pivotal investment, it is called two this is one of the quietest spac deal we have been talking about it it is not necessarily a bad thing. in fact, i think this is downright treatment store. xl developed electric fleet. they also got a realtime data monitoring and analytics platform that they sell as part of a service bundle. on top of that, xl fleet working on a full electric power trade they're doing businesses with some of the largest municipal truck fleet. fedex, coca-cola and verizon and

both harvard and yelp. commercial trucks are built in two stages manufactures put together the vehicle and they send it to complete the assembly by adding specialize equipment neat power trains get added to trucks during the second stage electric vehicles are the future o of trucks. xl fleet comes up with their customer tailored approach sort of a gradual electrification.

even hybrid class aid truck is fabulous for these environments and it will save the owner a fortune on fuel costs. b electric spac is on the road, it is real. they got 3200 of these systems installed. by the end of next year, deploying nearly 10,000. they have power trades giving them more than double. the fleet operator needs to make sure technology is reliable. every minute they're not running because they immediate maintenance when they're burning money. so the industry tends to be conservative about the new technology the combustion engine makes poisonous environment.

you know it works. if it rabreaks down, every automechanical fleet out there knows how to fix it. they perform there is a reason the fire department uses xl fleet technology all these electricspacs like t make detailed projection however, xl fleet is a little different. their forecast is much more substantial than what you see. the company already has 12-month rolling sale by $220 million average order sizes have skyrocketed. it was three times as high as 2019 imagine customers are going from a trial phase. xl fleet is on track to make 20

million and revenue this year. 281 million in 2022. 647 million in 2023. pretty aggressive but look at this in 2024, we are talking about $1 trillion sales. usually, you got to take these projection first xl fleet seems like they got a great solution, i don't know what happens to them once the actual truck maker starts producing their own electric vehicles there is a bunch of start ups working on this and ford is coming out their own model these are two of the model that xl fleet converts. maybe they start selling the manufactures, either way it is

something you got to keep an eye on second worry, xl fleet does a lot of business. it is totally broke right now because of the pandemic. does not look like they are getting bailed out pretty soon the world goes back to normal. now, pivotal investment works too. it shiure does not hurt. john ledecky, you may know him as the guy who owns the islanders. based on what we know about the deed pivotal $15 stock at $2.1 billion we get some clarity on that relationship with ford and f-150. this stock is cheap. something like quantum scape trading at ten times

bottom line, with pivotal investment trading $15 going into the fleet merger, i think this stock could be a steal. if it starts flying this week, maybe don't change it much >> alex in texas alec >> jim, a big booyah to you from houston, texas thank you for allthe energ everyday >> you are very good thank you. >> i try to bring it what's up? >> i started listening to you back in 2015 since then my portfolio is up 40% year after year. >> i appreciate it >> back on december 3rd i have done a little more research they have $1.2 billion market cap. they have 4.5 million annual sales and 260. the stock is up 1600% for the

year the short report on them in november you think it is good >> thank you for the kind comment. we just did a piece on chart point. i like it just a ton i don't need blink challenger when i got the best in the field. let's go to lewis in california. i think we should wrap it up >> that's okay you can't see it with all my makeup it is friday give me a break. i have been doing this show for 15 years anyway, xl fleet is a compelling story. please don't change it too much

live through this pandemic ten years ago and how much the internet has gotten better over the last ten years and throughout the entire time it has played a small part in making shoe we have been abmak makimak making sure we have been able to stand ut out on it. >> the internet is not meant for what we are doing to it, correct? >> that's right. >> the internet is a miracle it was designed as a academic project that never had security built into it and reliability. fundamentally is we take that network that we all come to rely on and retrofit it back and be able to survive and thrive and compete over the long-term >> let's talk about the hack that everyone is very upset

about, justifiably i interviewed nakesh from palo alto here. >> he basically says, look, there are some issues with the web that makes it a little easier to hack ill get cloudflare i would say to myself wait a minute if it is cloudflare, this would not occur. it would not occurred and you guys had 18,000 customers and have this issue, correct >> the architecture that we are moving towards is a zero trust a architecture it is contained. what's troubling is more than

400 effectively discovered there was a secret door to their building that their rivals and adversaries have been walking in and out of since march or april of this year what we don't know yet is how many things have been taken from those organizations and how many things have been left behind by those adversaries. so there is going to be a lot of cleaning up. i think as we move forward, the oh trust architecture cloudflare is delivering to our customers, making sure that even if one part of our organization has a breach but it does not sink the entire shipt even if attacker gets through one door, they can't get i past the second room. >> can it consolidate and multiple vendors you said the same thing to me that todd mckin on

>> in the end, it does not cost nearly as much as what just happened, correct? >>. >> that's right. threw a number of these factors it is causing organization to say okay, enough is enough, we lived through a pandemic and a mass activity hang k, we'll get read to great security someone like okta or crowd strike is a terrific partner of ours combining these best and creating new solutions it does give you a better level of security and allows negative organization to have the same z state of the art >> well, i am a state

some of these ipos that became public and exploded higher it is not that their stock is insanely over valued, mattis thi am talking about snow flake and air bnb. clearly signs that the market is hot. i think that's the wrong way to look at it i want to start with snow flake. a lot of people don't understand this company it looks like another cloud software play. that does not do the company's justice. snow flake is a disrupter of the

cloud. it is taking advantage of all the data by blow out so everyone could make use of it these guys have democratize data analytics. best of all, snow flakes run by the terrific track record sending young companies to unimaginable height. how much should it worth $85 billion. wait a second, it got 119% revenue growth i like that kind of growth if it continues, if he repeats what he did that a domain and service now then you may regret not paying off these things. if he executes snow flakes at 95 billion, he'll end up looking cheap. if he drops the ball is another

story. there is a real possibility that snow flake could have another upside very few company to beat the next tesla how about door dash? a low today to $147 down to 50 bucks from its high. before turning around and finishing a session at $166. wildfires. door dash, maybe after everyone gets vaccinated, we'll stop using these food delivery services and go out to eat, i owe straunrestaurants, would the nice >> that could be reality door dash is not snow flake. even if everything goes right, that's $53 billion
