"mad money" starts now hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money. welcome to cramerica other people want to make friends. i try to make you money. my job is not just to train, it's to educate and teach. call me or tweet me.

the s&p managed to rally 27% last year. why? glad you asked because hope sprang eternal. hope could spring eternal when the dow gained 247 points and the nasdaq jumped 1.20%. normally when you hear hope springs eternal it's meant in the most derogatory of ways, like you've got to be an idiot to believe anything good can happen, but i'd rather be an idiot who makes money than a genius who misses out on great opportunities. what a great place to begin, tesla. all right? we ended last week doubting tesla's ability to make a lot of cars and make a lot of money on the recall then this weekend we discovered the big board 300,000 cars and they made a ton of money per car. it didn't take long for the

rigorous dollars to pass it had to pick up from 250 to 295. tesla trades at 1,200. bernstein chided that tesla is being valued at $1 million per car. anyone who has been in this business knows the stock prices are often disconnected from the underlying enterprise. i'm sure tony's right about the math the current tesla stock price per car is over valued that's only one way. the rise in the stock up 13% it's the wrong way why? larry is an arbiter. it doesn't make you money. that not being clever is what the business is about. it's a big reason why i created the charitable trust which is part of the cnbc investing club. it's not being valued as a good, it's being valued as a tech

company. other automakers are struggling to get their electric vehicles off the ground, elon musk doesn't need to advertise his cars he's opening an auto plant in berlin to go head to head with the germans. according to the bears tesla was supposed to run out of money construction problems, problems with the chinese regulators. tesla's on track to make a million cars and there to make big money. hope springs eternal next up, pfizer. great year, this mediocre drug company had its stock stuck in the 30s. they came out with a great vaccine. along the way unlike the flimflam drug authorities, the company figured out you would need three doses not two and a

booster. the money from the covid business, the next thing you know it's nearly a $60 stock what happened? hope springs eternal and those hopes paid off how about nvidia a semiconductor company specializing in cards. you hear about the consumer side of the omni verse or meta verse, but i think the real opportunity is the business side companies can save billions of dollars in a virtual world instead of wasting away and wasting so much valuable time and money and equipment. i bet this stuff also shows up in restaurants where you'll see avitars powered by nvidia taking your language in 28 languages and not making a mistake that's how the stock could more than double and the stock is worth more than 750 billion.

it's worth more than 750 billion, a company they haven't heard. how about apple? the analyst reporters have been taking terms minimizing the incredible achievements. tim cook and company never let it happen. they came up with the watch, the air pods the ground breaking iphone even as they're making the company a ton of money there's a huge apple service revenue stream growing by leaps and bounds i paid my apple bill at 5:05 a.m. i saw it there i didn't open it whoever opens it how many bills from apple do you open it's like auto pay who knows how much i'm paying. anyway, who cares? i love it. anyone who watched football saw the ads for the watch that involve saving people in impossible situations. it's a reminder that apple is not cell phones despite every

attempt by analysts except morgan stanley convince you to trade apple, not own it. i say it should be the other way around despite the analysts, hope sprang eternal for apple and you had to bet on it you couldn't scoff at it people have been scoffing at this one every $10 billion in marked cap inquiries today it hit $3 trillion what else? housing was supposed to fall off the cliff. the rise of remote work, we don't have enough homes for people in the country. no one foresaw that. that's why home depot was the number one performer in the dow jones industrial you had to lean against every single analyst who told you to sell either because of saturation or the fed was going to crush you hope sprang eternal. or this.

how many times do we hear that faang and friends had gotten too big and the gains were too concentrated alphabet would keep the underwhelming ways mark zuckerberg is such a believer of the meta verse he changed his company's name to meta platforms amazon became a giant advertising company. netflix had a brief pause because it couldn't make enough new content. that was because of the pandemic yes, inflation raged but jay powell's a different type of fed chair. he cared about people who worked for a living, not just businesses, not just rich people for this he has been ridiculed as soft on inflation but that's not true he just recognized that the fed has a dual mandate and the time to fight it was after he had the

employment situation under control. all you had to do was listen to him. he's a good man. now he can't be sure what 2022 will bring i have plenty to say about that later tonight and later this week, but here's what we do know things can and do go right it can be different this time. sometimes you have to suspend your short-term skepticism to make long-term money will hope spring again in 2022 can't be sure. but the bottom line unless we're realizing it happened before just last year we will not be ready for the opportunities we want to create if it happens again. i want to start the calls for the new year with iris in new york iris >> caller: hello hi, jim cramer my question today is on q com it broke the highs in 2020 do you think the shift has already played a shift in the momentum >> that stock is going much higher that stock is going much higher.

the reason i say that is simple, because they've got an unbelievable business model and they really have the gloves off. they have the power. they are just -- not monopolous but they have the guts of all of the cell phones. i think that company's management is terrific hope springs eternal we can't be sure what 2022 will bring but there's reason to believe that things can and do go right on "mad money" tonight, now that 2021 is in the rear-view mirror i'm evaluating the biggest s&p 500 winners to see if they're going to continue. then i'm looking at the flip side with the s&p 500 biggest names with declines. i think that can give us more insight. more than 60 companies have raised their dividend payoffs for the last 25 years. i'm going to look at dividend aristocrats that might be worth keeping your eye on in 2022. so stay with cramer.

every january i sit down to ponder the best and worst performers of the s&p 500. the nasdaq 100 and the dow jones industrial average to see what went wrong, right, whether history will repeat itself the goal, to put things in perspective in order to identify the likely winners and lose injuries of 2022 i want to start with the 10 best and worst performers later this week i'll do the same

for the nasdaq and the dow we're going to do the top performers now we'll circle back to the biggest loser after the break. let's get to it. the number one performer was devin energy, dvn. best year for energy ever last year devin was arguably the best oil and gas company. i hope you've heard of it. even though it began by combining with wpf's energy, rick moncrief took the helm. he appeared on "mad money. i first met rick when he was running the day-to-day operations at continental resources. he gave us a helicopter tour of that back shell holdings and i did not throw up contrary to what everybody said. at the time it was selling for a little more than half of what it's selling for now it had already gone up now rick is part of a new breed of oil men or oil people drilling

for more crude with less capital, some of that is technology, and then returning a gigantic chunk of change to his 145ir holder even devin's stock went up 179% last year, it sparked a gargantuan 7.4% yield for a payout i think they're a strong performer in 2022 and the reason they're copying the devin model, dvn, honored to know rick, incredible to know that he became the ceo even though wpx was a much smaller company number two was a company i didn't care about at all, marathon oil, mro. this one snuck up on everyone. like devon it surprised with us cap fall it wasn't known for being capital disciplined, it just wasn't marathon paid down $1.4 billion in debt, raised the dividend and didn't raise the oil drilling budget even though it has

superior oil cash flow given that mayrathon set a buy back, the price of crude stays near the current level i think the $16 stock can be under the radar repeat winner. again, these are so under -- no one's thinking about these stocks coming in aren't you surprised about this? the third best performer is not surprising it's moderna, up 143%. i feel moderna will be unable to repeat that if everybody gets a fourth dose of the covid vaccine unless they can find a way to diversify away from the pandemic and into the cancer vaccines that first attracted me to moderna a few years ago when i met them, mr. bancel i love moderna's management but the stock isn't pricing and there's a very strong possibility that omicron will burn through the whole population and complete the covid wave looking at the horrifying recent

numbers, everyone is going to get this one which will give us a very bad kind of herd immunity just to clear something up earlier i said this morning and i tweeted, i went to an event. everyone had to have a pcr negative they all had pcr negatives we all saw the paper then i caught it from someone that same night. you have to get an avid binex test before you go into an event and that's why you can give it to somebody. they think they don't have it. you might have it. you watching, you might have it. now fourth is cybersecurity which is one of the best businesses of 2021 only got better as the year went on that's how fortnet which is an old-fashioned network protect ofr performed up 142%. i expect most of these names to have a better year in 2022

unless you're working remotely, you have to bend over backwards to protect yourself. i don't expect forttinet is all that proprietary signature bank it's like republic or citi national they have high priced takeover bids i was shocked that they rallied 149% it was a poor year for fintech and big banks. now this stock is expensive. all in all i'd rather over one of the majors but signature with real interest rate sensitivity you know my favorite from the trust is wells fargo we had a really good day number 6 is a total investment club name is ford motor. ceo jim farley has rebuilt the company. making a giant bet on electric vehicles his goal is to turn a profit on every car he makes believe it or not, that's something his predecessors never seem to put much emphasis on

i thought it was as cool as all get out. ford owns a giant stake in rivium are you ready, skee-daddy, for possible repeat of last year's 136% move. what a horse a mustang. that's an ev joke. 7, when the limited broke itself up it unlocked powerful and seemingly powerful choices especially bath and body works even after last year's 132% gain, it had more upside bed, bath & beyond are up. people don't hate bbb. stop paying for a couple of days maybe go there number 8 is an old cramer favorite which is nvidia

whenever i talk about nvidia i always like to wear my passes into nvidia's headquarters this is my new pass. this was my old pass this is the one we own for the travel trust ever since the thing traded in the 20s i've constantly heard how it's over valued over valued, over valued the company's strength in gaming and high performance computing has only improved year after year now it's the number one play on artificial intelligence, machine learning and the omni verse. remember, it's going to be running on nvidia's chips. can they succeed in requiring arm holdings which would give them dominance arm is a british company it makes it difficult for n. individual yo to seal the deal they had everest now my -- oh, another one i love, it's faang

well, there's more than one faang in this market diamondback energy harvesting its crude after a series of acquisitions returning a lot of capitol to shareholders diamondback's got a $35 break even price tremendous back. i think it is one of the more likely to repeat its 123% gain from last year you heard me, repeat, repeat, repeat finally we've got an old time cramer fav/charitable trust name and that's nucor the stock has a history of giving you fabulous multi-year rallies when the business cycle is in its favor. i think the estimates for this one are way, way too low the steel plants are going all

out because there's not enough capacity pricing will stay strong through the year no analyst agrees with me which makes me like it even more the bottom line. the biggest take away should be the remarkable resurgence of the oils just as important i think many of the s&p's biggest winners can keep winning even if they can't all rival the incredible performances from last year. wow. stick with cramer. >> announcer: coming up, cramer is wrapping up his 2022 look ahead and unleashing the dogs of the s&p. which underdog could come out on top in the new year? that's next.

before the break i highlighted the top ten winners in the s&p 500 for 2021. i actually think you can learn a

lot more from the losers, especially the ones that took you by surprise in the second half of the year the worst performer, penn national gaming down 40% every year there's some red hot concept. last year can't miss was gamma the earlier penn national and bar stool was supposed to connect the hottest entertainment in media and pizzaz a lot of the gambling companies had the same go big or go home with casinos like caesars. looking to cash in on a growing market and competition is just plain old bad for business now once every once in a while there will be a lot of money to be made. penn national is a very well run company with a terrific ceo. i can say the same thing about draftkings penn national will be tough to own. it might take a year for things

to turn around if the omicron hangs out. second worst performer, global payments this stock used to be such a perennial winner global payments is a preeminent part of it it partners with 200 large banks and 1,000 small ones as their website points out and i quote, outsource all of your technology to us and we'll run it for you, here's the problem i could have said the same thing about half a dozen other companies or even a dozen if everybody were managed to become public that's the whole reason the fintech collapsed. with many of them to go better than others not that any of us can tell i've always add mierld global payments as well as the small business empowerment pays and buy now pay later but there's too many darn stocks in the group. they're all too expensive especially compared to the super cheap bank stocks.

the fed raises rates now you have a 5% rally of the stock which should allow boosters to come out of the fox holes tomorrow morning and you can lighten up on it by wednesday. again, it's not global payment's fault they're a fabulous company. so many companies are created that do or look like global payments biggest loser, whoa, las vegas sands. terrific casino operator it's doubled down the chinese gambling haven by selling off vegas properties in the time of could he have individual where china has some of the most restrictive lockdown rules as well as a government that remembers, holy cow, we're communists, may not be the best time to bet on chinese casinos the eighth biggest decliner is wynn resorts down 27%. this is very similar to los angeles sands. we own wynn and we've been wrong. i thought it would give you china as well as vegas and other

u.s. properties for greater diversification just in case the prc went nuts. in the end the covid and the chinese government's new found communism have made it very difficult for wynn wynn has an asset value that is well above the stock price until covid subsides i think it would be stuck in a rut. this would be worth the wait as much as i like wynn, the fact is i've been wrong i may stay wrong until we start seeing evidence that the pandemic has peaked. back in order. the fourth worst performer down 28%, blizzard. this was like many other companies in the list. this one is tricky it could be down this much because it's considered a peloton which is a curse word of tremendous proportions meaning companies that peaked during the first year of the pandemic the other major video game companies haven't been hit as hard activision have had big delays

he's being up ended by a degrading corporate culture that wall street thinks either created or ignored amazing i bet activision stock would go up not because he doesn't know what he's doing he does. he's the best but because it's a hit driven business that is not driving the hits people expect perhaps because they don't want to work for bobby anymore. access holdings. you've seen them a bunch of times. i like this one a lot. first mover to digitize had the business to itself for a long time that's no longer the case. it's reflected in the stock's brutal down trend. you go to s&p global you want to bet on bond trading go by goldman sachs. the much larger trade webb i don't see how market access can come back without a massive spike in bond trading. number 6 is a company called

viatris. this is a pfizer generic drug spinoff that's merged with myalin just what the doctor ordered bad timing right in the cross hairs of the biden administration's attempt to rein in the off drugs its portfolio is filled with all patented drugs filled with pressure as more knockoffs hit the market this one seems like the ultimate cast off value trap that only a 3% yield tries to attract you. get this, the only thing really intriguing about viatris is it sells for 3 times earnings on patent big pharma stocks are cheap, too why not buy those? i think -- i want to call this one the ollie's bargain outlet of drugs without the treasure hunt deal. viatris, viewaviagra, they prob

paid someone a for that. why don't you call it viasilus stop embarrassing yourselves be better. number 7 is citrix i'm not sure what to do with this if they walk away, i have no idea what citrix is worth other than it was down 27% last year these guys used to be the king of business collaborations i loved their product when i was doing radio. now it's become a crowded industry then there's the ninth worth performer. ipg fog photonics. it's a laser company real earnings but at a short fall thanks to weakening chinese sales that crushed the stock now i know that ipg photonics is, therefore, in the dog house but it's very good long term prospects which is why it still

sells for 30 times earnings. ipg has the best chance to rebound. i really like it this thing can rebound because it's four times earnings viagra, viatris, whatever. finally, there's fidelity national which is merchant solutions, banking solutions and capital market solutions just like every other fintech this has done nothing wrong other than being a cohort that despise. rally 4.3%, fintech traveler paypal after getting beaten up by the shorts. looks like this is a tax loss bounce to me too many big and small players crowding fidelity nat info the bottom line, the worst performers look like they're going to keep under performing unless we get major sea changes and i don't see that happening anywhere in the near term, actually in the medium term.

that is our time horizon viatris. hey, let's come up with a really bad name because we're a bad company. how about viatris. good let's go to paul in oklahoma paul >> caller: yes, jim. club member and first-time caller. >> yes >> caller: my call is regarding nphase i'm invested in it and i'm wondering if this is a buying opportunity with it off the way it is. >> i was reading this fantastic eye on the market this weekend what a report that he did. reflation. he did not have good things to say about solar. i think he's going to be right enphase is my favorite solar i'm not giving up. how about johnny in maryland johnny >> caller: boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah >> caller: i love your investment club. i'm a member. >> i know, i did this thing called action alerts for years and we charged

as 2022 gets rolling, we have one simple new year's resolution for "mad money. don't fight the fed. the next couple months the federal reserve is going to set up the papers, bond buying program. rising interest rates four rate hikes for the year now when the fed starts tightening, that changes the whole universe of stocks that can win hence the wild action towards the end of last year as we adjusted to jay powell's new attitude we're not going to be. we're not going to be. kind of something in between for example, when interest rates are on the rise it makes dividend stocks less attractive. however, wait a second before you give up, higher rates mean you can get a higher yield from basically risk free assets

like u.s. treasuries some places to put your money. that means more competition for dividend stocks. however, when the economy slows down, you also want to own stocks of profitable companies that make real things, derive real services and reward their shareholders with dividends. how do you thread the needle maybe you need dividend stocks that can out compete bonds in a rising interest rate environment which brings me to the concept of dividend a list stowe kratz more than 60 companies have raised their payouts every year for at least 25 years. that's exalting. the track record means they can offer you a better y50e8d for bonds even when the fed is tightening plus, the rising payouts allow them to more than keep pace with inflation if it continues. how much of the dividend a list stowe kratz are worth buying here with the underlying sense they're all much better than a lot of stocks simply because they're part of the aristocracy.

last year there was 64 different risks but with some caveats. we have to give at&t the beut because it didn't give you the dividend boost and it can cut its pay out. it would be clownish management. it's the first a ris stowe krat to me in the guillotine. let them eat bad earnings. of the remaining dividend aristocrats we own six of them from my charitable trust follow that by joining cnbc's club chevron, windy, nucor and walmart. these are the stocks you want to own when the fed is talking about inflation. they're going to outperform the broader s&p 500. abbott is a big biomedical company. you need these before you even

go out to dinner just show it that's what we do. show it. don't rely on one from the morning. one from the evening it's great don't rely on a pcr test from the morning. get the abbott test and look at it before you go if you see two lines, you're going to watch netflix for the next five days abbvie is abbott's former division chevron and walmart are household names. lindy is an industrial gas distributor and nucor is the best steel maker in the world. we're big believers in discipline and discipline says you have to take something off the table when you have a huge gain that's why the trust sold a little abbott, a little abbabbve and nucor. i like the stocks but you need to take profits while you have them in case they get hit. what about the other dividend aristocrats? first there are eight companies

that have been dividend aristocrats way back in 1962 think of them as the ogs these are eight original gangsters have consistently raised payouts for 59 straight years. although none of them have particularly huge yields that's because their stocks are so great 3m coca-cola. colgate, dover emerson electric genuine parts. j&j, new ceo and procter & gamble find one you really like i like emerson electric. that's a manufacturer's manufacture. deal with aspen tech as well as j&j where i love the upcoming over the counter spinoff that will help unlock the diode even though i will miss alex gorsky a nice boost once. it's 17%

really good companies. then to the highest dividend these are 11 stocks of the yield. exxon. ground foreman brown liquors that much. ibm, i don't think the quarter is going to be that good chevron. abbvie shot the lights out. realty income corporation. people's united also on the edge amcor, no thanks walgreens and coned. there's a reason we own them i do like brown foreman, the liquor company you know as jack daniel's as a reopening play conman edison is the solid utility with a reasonable valuation. i prefer american electric power and i've been right. finally there's a higher risk and that's the multiple dividend

raisers. they boosted their dividends more than once realty income. thank you matt howring amcor, a plastics and packaging company and cramer fav cintas, the uniform rental kingpin when a company puts multiple dividend boosts in a year that means management believes business is booming and will more importantly stable me because you don't raise your dividend to cut other than those. hey, you know i've had cornell a bunch of times they are the king of spam, all right? who ate my -- which one of you guys ate my darn spam? oh, it's the pumpkin spam. this, by the way, survived thermonuclear war on christmas island tremendous growth and made a smart acquisition buying plantar's pea nuts i'm a long time fan of pepsico

they have tremendous pricing power. i like all the hot new stuff they've made then there's mcdonald's, the only restaurant on the aristocrat list. it's hard to go wrong with that one. now you have a group of solid industrials on this one. caterpillar. ceo loves a good dividend. stanley black & decker those stocks have pulled back due to supply chain woes stanley black & decker benefits. these are so good. i already mentioned emerson electric that's a manufacturer's manufacturer and there's a little tool works which i gave up too soon because they sell to the red hot auto industry there are other good retail industries lowe's target wal walmart's been not so great. i'm sticking with it archer daniels midland, adm. ag stocks are very strong. tyson. very strong ag cycle going here.

general dynamics, quality defense contractor gulf stream business is booming, someone's going to want to say this is the way to play geopolitical tensions with russia and china it sounds like i like a lot of stocks because i do. last but not least there's one i've had on a number of times, s&p global it maintains the s&p 500 dividend aristocrat list these provide all sorts of data, anal analytics. i think they have a great opportunity to standardize esg ratdings we enter the new year. you need to get more selective with your stock picking. choose something you like from the s&p 500 dividend aristocrats menu and hold on "mad money" is back after the break. >> announcer: coming up next. >> let's make money together what have we got

why was last year so good for the stock market you can blame easy money you can talk about how stocks gave temp. business is just so darn robust thanks to low interest rates from the fed me, i think these alibis only lead to something different. the same narrative, something good is so bad you would have assumed good is good we live in cinderella world where so many investors expect midnight to change everything for the worse. the litany of what was supposed to being in our faces but it

turned out that betting against stocks was the real scheme will 2022 be any different obviously the fed won't be any different. meanwhile, the investment bankers and spac kings can keep pumping out junk the enticement is the real bear track. most of them are conceptual. 2022 will be the year of the tangible, practical, improbable. we have the shockingly good ipo. but most of these deals were simply companies using the stock market as a branding opportunity. they were counting on a chance to sell you something that makes money for them, not you. still i like the setup for 2022 because so many others hate it i like it because there are so many opportunities to buy good stocks at good prices. i think it will prove to have sfoks way too low especially the banks, retailers and oils. i like it because i'm betting omicron is so infectious it will blow through the whole country

quickly as expected i think it could be a decent risk remember, i mentioned the bad ones from the trust because the good ones take care of themselves if i'm right, there could be a lot of good ones i like to say there's always a bull market somewhere. i promise to try to find it just for you right here on "mad money. i'm jim cramer happy the wait for a verdict in the elizabeth holmes trial may be over tonight. i'm kelly evans in for shepard smith. this is "the news on cnbc. omicron skyrocketing as millions of kids head back to school. >> i do feel safe bringing her to school but it's still scary. >> plus, a major announcement from the fda how it impacts children coast to coast. winter storms kicking off the new year. >> cars covered in snow. had to clean that off. >> extreme weather knocking off power and causing majo
