us to his artist of the month. >>nd 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. i promise to help you find i "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 save you money. my job isn't just to entertain but to educate and teach you. call me at 1-800-743-cnbc. or tweet me @jimcramer. sometimes you have to play the hand you've been dealt. you just can't throw it back. i can't give up. you have to look at the cards, figure out how to make something work. augment the hand. today's action represents attempts by several different card players to make their hands better in this new environment where most stocks go down anyway.

sinking 6.5%. let's take it by the clock. when i got up this morning, the futures, they were down hideously. and you know i get up early. a couple of reasons. both chinese imports and exports showed china's decline in growth continues to accelerate. we've now had 13 straight months where chinese imports slumped right in a row. no wonder copper is in free fall. no wonder there's no place to put aluminum and steel. no wonder iron's under $40. nickel, zinc, i can't even look at them. it's just bad over there now as the economy frantically switches to being consumer base. only one third of the chinese economy is based on consumer spending. ours is two thirds. the chinese want their country to be more like ours, more like

when we see any data that suggest the big industrial engine of china might be sputtering, we freak out. why? because so many countries depending on the chinese market for growth and it's not giving them. things only got worse, around 4:30 when we heard that anglo american, the biggest mining company in the world, is slashing an astounding 85,000 jobs. only 135,000 people work there. these mining stocks have been obliterated. as the reports leaked out about how bad anglo was, we realized this industry is falling apart. anglo is already down 73% for the year. same with giant copper maker glencore. rio is off 38%. these are gigantic companies that produce raw materials that china used to consume like mad. these are massive users of capital equipment.

weakness, these stocks are still worth selling, even down here. the big five that had dominated the world, they're all falling. as anglo american disseminated its news, oil quickly dropped a buck and change. it was looking 36, another house of pain day for the gigantic energy complex on tap. then two stories that really threw me. toll brothers reports, some excellent housing commentary about how the best is yet to come, more homes to be bought. these guys were positive during the great recession. what happens? the stock starts getting beaten down before the opening bell. i mean, it sold down big time, finishing off 7%. what does that say about owning housing stocks go into a fed tightening? how about nothing good? second, southwest air.

jeez. comes out with some terrific traffic numbers. ooh, maybe the airlines are the place to be. flip side, more discounting because competition is heating up. remember, we like the airlines because of lower oil prices and less competition. but we hate the airlines because of discounting and vicious competition. we've seen that movie before, we know how bad that can be. right now the hate is trumping the love. stocks got knocked down big before the opening. it took the whole transport index with it. by the time the opening bell rings, the market collapses by more than a percent. that's a key ratio, by the way, that's the ratio the late mark haines taught me. that's simply an unsustainable amount of selling. mark always told me when many people want out at once, you do have to take the other side of the trade. it was this kind of wisdom that allowed him to call the bottom in march of 2009, the haynes bottom. mark made very few calls when he

he only made them when he thought things were at extremes. a crescendo of selling, he called it. when he voiced an opinion, he typically nailed it. for some stocks, there was a crescendo too much. we have two groups of players playing at the card table right now. the first is resigned to the fed raising rates. these players take their cards and throw them back. their reasoning? if the fed is going to tighten, then you have to get out of everything. i hate this kind of black and white thinking. we see it all the time. it's no negative, and it's rarely right. why do i hate this logic? if the fed is going to tighten when the economy is getting weak, exhibits what the thesis is, then it stands to reason you don't want any industrials or minerals or mining stocks. you have to be careful with airlines, construction companies, auto manufacturers.

homebuilders, remember what toll had, or the raw materials, chemicals, paper stocks, go up. anything that goes into a home or construction. transports today, hammered. how about the other card players, the ones that say, okay, i got a not so hot diversified hand. what can i throw back to get better stocks? how do i augment the hand? so these players toss out the same industrials, maybe some oils, anything machinery, anything connected with a smokestack, a plane, a train, or an automobile. nevertheless, they don't leave the table. what these savvier players do is immediately use the weakness of the quitters to pick up the high cards they threw out in disgust. and what are the high cards in the slowdown? how about the companies that can outrun a slowdown? especially one that's exacerbated by the fed tightening. it's obvious despite employment figures, things are looking bad in many areas of the economy. out of this sea of red emerges islands of green. the first one is biotech. i saw biogene and celgene within

morning, thanks to bob wang for pointing them out to me. then i saw some of the old buying drug companies rally along with the big biotechs. there have been some nasty pressures on netflix and amazon. many people were incredulous. then higher growth semi-conductors gained. google reversed. yahoo! has decided not to spin off its alibaba stake, something that led to a gain in yahoo!. perhaps that can be built on tomorrow. now i think that the entire move in high growth is always going to be -- if oil goes down, it's going to wipe that group out again. oil managed to rally back into a flat line, that's a buck decline and then back. but after the close, kinder morgan, kmi, announced a devastating dividend cut from 51 cents to 12.five cents per

bond whisperers, people in the credit market, told me it would be about a 50% cut. that's more. who knows if that whole group, which was momentarily on the mend, gives it up again? and a lot of wealthy investors own those. that stock is getting crushed after hours on top of the 62% it has already fallen for the year. not for one minute my saying that the entire market can rally off of a slow economic growth scenario. if the fed has indeed made its decision to tighten then you aren't going to see a recovery in housing stock. industrials will have their estimates cut, as will they should. if anglo american is laying off 85,000 workers, they won't need more caterpillar machines. if there are price wars in the airlines, people won't be buying boeing. they are with a fed rate hike simply more bad cards in the deck than good once at this stage in the game. the only thing that could change that fact is if china could

string of misses. maybe we have to wait a month or two. here's the bottom line. it was ultimately an ugly session. but there were a limited group of high cards worth picking up even as they are thrown down by others this morning who just don't understand the way the game is played. there's always a bull market within these very difficult sessions. still, there were more capitulators than skilled players, and the overall market just couldn't take the pain of weakness in key industries, on this, another day where we feel the hangover of that beautiful friday morning, where employment was strong, and so were the averages, as we had total faith that the fed was going to do the right thing. can you believe that was only a few days ago? let's go to barry in illinois. barry. >> caller: jim, my stock is dell taco. after remodelling the company stores, taco upgraded the menu and prepares everything fresh on

all that came with a $40 million a year interest expense. with ten straight quarters of increased sales, taco was still in the red. june 30th this year, chicago levy organization paid off a lot of debt, reducing modified interest expense. after all that there was no ipo to get the street's attention. jim, they've got great plans, they're making money now. i'm a believer. i own stock and notice the warrants expire in november 2018. should i buy more stock? >> no. you can't. this is a stock that it's up a little bit for the year and a group that people decided, you know what, the restaurant stocks are very hard. and obviously you would think, well, wait a second, chipotle's troubles, make that can make things good for dell taco. that's too simple. chipotle is an eco stock, a health and wellness stock that sells mexican food. people do not attribute any other company in that industry

i want to stay away from the derivatives right now. i just not going to help you. that's a risky stock. all right. there was a limited group of high cards in this deck today. companies have to -- you have to play the hand that you've been dealt. it's part of the money game. on "mad" tonight, a company that's got an insight like no other. then, if you're familiar with the show, you know rubbermaid is one of my faves. what could it mean? and oil approached lows hit in the heart of the great recession. is there opportunity here or after the kinder morgan dividend cut, more pain ahead? i've got the ceo. so why don't you stick with cramer. >> announcer: don't miss a second of "mad money." follow @jimcramer on twitter. have a question? tweet cramer, #madtweets.

"so dance, however you want!" "in new pampers cruisers" with the federal reserve poised to raise interest rates for the first time in eight years later this month, we need to reassess a big pool of stocks. the high yielding bond market alternative plays that will become less attractive as the fed tightens. which stocks in particular?

pipeline stocks. those are some bond market alternatives. the same goes for real estate investment trusts. some of these are hanging in there and performing a lot better than you think. take federal realty, mostly in wealthy and densely populated areas like the northeast, california, florida. particularly mall-based chains have been struggling but federal realty has been performing pretty darn well. it's up 8.4% of the year before distributions. in part that's because when the company last reported a little over a month ago, it beat wall street's top and bottom line estimates. it's incredibly well-run, well-managed company. people own this stock because of its consistent growth, as much for its solid 2.6% yield. let's check in with don wood, president and ceo of federal realty.

have a seat, don. the real estate investment trust, the pipelines, all of them have been revealed during this period as not growth vehicles but as income vehicles. >> sure. >> and you need growth. you used the phrase, you're a five-tool player. i want you to explain that to our viewers. >> you know i get a little bit of abuse about the baseball analogy because i love baseball. but in baseball, when there is a player that a scout is looking at, and he's got the ability to be a great hitter, hit for power, hit for average, to be a great fielder, to be able to do everything necessary to be a baseball player, good baseball player, he's known as a five-tool players. there aren't a lot of five-tool players in the league. i try to make the analogy to federal that way simply because i don't want to be dependent on any one thing. and we're not. it's why we don't do too much

diversified in our tenant base. it's why we're not dependent on women's fashions or men's fashions. we try to be as diversified as we can in automatic ways. in the quiver we've got arrows we can pull out for lots of different things. the best that we have these days is a balance sheet that's strong as can be. no one else is borrowing at in your field. >> we do. we're one of three, maybe four a-rated companies. and that's really important at times like this. >> we had a guest on, would you have our favorites, pvh, tough business, fashion. let's get your reaction to this. there's this death of mall theory that's really going around. can you shoot it down? >> no, i can't shoot it down completely. i think the issue that's going on is there are too many stores in america. and i don't know if that's 10% or 15%. >> so we're over-stored? >> yes. >> we know that you're a

that's important. what did you think of that quote? >> look, everybody speaks from where they're coming from. it's what they know, et cetera. and as you say, i'm not a mall guy, so i don't particularly know. i don't know the specific results in malls, et cetera. all i know is, it gets back to kind of where i was coming from. i want to be as broad-based and reliant as many different areas as possible. for example, health and wellness. if you look at the soul cycles of the world today, look at what's going on with pilates and blue mercury, the value type of tenants like alta, nordstrom rack, not to mention food, and that's sit-down, it's qsr. it's different types of food. these are all non-amazon. by the way, amazon is looking at bricks and mortar stores.

>> that's fascinating. >> it is fascinating. you actually set me up beautiful with the five-tool player analogy. if you've got the ability, and i think open air is the place, i'm talking up my book there because it's what i believe, if you've got the place to be able to cater to as many possible sectors of the retail economy as possible, you're in good shape, particularly if you're in the locations that, you know, where demand exceeds supply. i do agree with him that, you know, and i've said this for a hundred years, america is over-retailed. and that's simply supply and demand overall. >> and yet you've been putting up 7%, 7%, 7%. if we're overstored, how is that possible? >> because real estate is not a macro game. it's a microgame. it's that street corner. it's that paicular environment.

and so when you start looking at things in such a macro base, listen, we're not portfolio managers. we're real estate operators. >> right. >> there's a big difference there. and as long as you stay -- it's a local business, if you beat up and worry about those details, you can do really, really well in the right places. >> why did we spend so much time talking about waldbaum's and a&p? >> we had four a&p, waldbaum's, we had old shopping center leases. they are pretty restrictive. when i say restrictive, they don't let you get to certain things in the shopping center to redevelop that you can otherwise get to if you're in the right areas. so we went, when that bankruptcy happened, it was fantastic for us, gave us the ability. >> that's what was so interesting. >> let us buy those leases out

looking. >> when you see a brick plaza, years down the road, a couple of years down the road, maybe not that long, compared to the old a&p there, you say, wow, why didn't they do that sooner. >> the last question, i know you're not into apparel or fashion that much. >> some. >> it's been very warm, not a great time for a lot of stuff. >> look, i don't know. you've got to remember, we're the real estate guys. we're not the retailers. >> that's why i like you. i don't want your fashion. you don't have any. that's why don wood has made you so much money. >> i've got one thing. i have to say to you, you didn't like flower town, it's a great place in philadelphia. >> you turned that neighborhood around. i wish you had been there when i lived there. he's got the best portfolio of properties and he's a great manager. stay with cramer. coming up -- barrelling

[announcer:] mucinex keeps working. not 4, not 6, but 12 hours.

despite all the negativity out there, and we know that's happening, boy, there are still great deals either happening or in the works. now these deals are occurring with underappreciated companies that are nevertheless doing well, companies like keurig and rubbermaid. yesterday's $14 billion of keurig green mountain by a family of european billionaires, is a manifestation of how undervalued companies are in a market that's being pulled down by interest rate hikes that have very little to do with a cup of coffee or with a blender and some playing cards and sharpies. all three of these companies have one thing in common: they're found in your home by the millions and millions of units. we may think keurig green mountain failed with the new iteration of its coffee maker

dead on arrival. however roughly one in every five households has a keurig. this is not some one-off device. this is one of the great success stories of our era. you can make an awful lot of money on a device like that, at jeb clearly figures. keurig green mountain just weren't able to fix their machines fast enough to preserve their independents. with this last quarter, green mountain had fixed a lot of the damage inflicted on them in 2014. not only that, but the company basically told you it was doing really well. but no one listened. the same people who hated it before that great quarter hated it after. go listen to that last conference call. it was insane. here's a company that admitted all of its mistakes, said they were corrected, yet still got no credit for what it did. i thought coca-cola would swoop in and buy the rest of the company.

deal and goes home. caribou and keurig, a match made in heaven. now, rubbermaid has been on the new high list for a very long time. it has a fantastic set of products driven by innovation. i still don't think the stock was outrageously expensive, trading at slightly more than a market multiple. this is a different nuwell rubbermaid. it's a factory of new products that are integral to owning and investing. one of the few secular growth stories in the american firmament. the ceo did an amazing job,

given his fantastic work at unilever during the period and unilever surpassed proctor and gamble. he's a nonpromotional guy. as you might remember from his humble but i thought forceful presentation when he came on "mad money" recently. but the company's brands like sharpie and of course the namesake rubbermaid have become a fount of new products spreading their tentacles through the aisles of big box retailers. they're still thriving in an atmosphere where the rest of retail is struggling. meanwhile, i know it sounds like an odd one, but jardin has taken old brands and infused them with new life. jardin's stock became a big winner under the auspices of martin franklin, multiple visits on "mad money." although it would be wrong to credit him with all three

as jardin accumulated brands, it systematically beat the numbers. the stock only turned positive for the year last week. this jardin/newell/rubbermaid merger, i like it because it allows these two companies to bargain better with the walmarts. the walmarts are always trying to wrest the marginal profit away from companies like these. but if they get together, that would be just a match made in heaven. it would be -- you know what? it would be a very successful mix. does that not work well or what? that sharpie didn't hold up all that well. anyway. i think both deals are fabulous for shareholders. all three of the executives involved should be applauded.

their stocks could have ultimately worked their way higher. but they wanted to get higher faster and escape the tide of negativity that surrounds the entire market, the pall of gloom. what they really want is to make good money for everyone involved, including themselves. thank you, keurig green mountain, and good tiedings for jardin and newell rubbermaid, providing they sign on the bottom line. i'm calling martin franklin right now to get him here to fix that. maybe he'll bring one of those traveling margarita machines i like so much at home. just kidding. well, okay, i have one. tony in california. tony. >> caller: jim, booyah. this is tony in west lake village, california. >> how are you? >> caller: i'm just living the dream here, jim, love it. i want to congratulate you on your incredible access to top ceos, it really helps us home

on,. >> didn't that make a lot of sense? he was so good. the stock moved up instantly. >> and jim, you do it all the time. it's what makes "mad money" the best business show on the air. >> thank you so much. we're sure trying hard. we always struggle every day to comes up with something that helps people. how can i help you? >> caller: you recently made some suggestions about what ibm could do with the cloud. they made acquisitions which did not immediately and dramatically improve their growth. what about a rich company bold ly plunking down $75 million? it would certainly enhance shares and shareholder value. >> they couldn't do it.

they're the ones who are so committed to making small acquisitions. that's why it's so hard to move the needle. there are other companies that would be fabulous if they bought. but they're unwilling to spend the money. i like this combination. you know what? you know what might be a super combination? how about if all of them got together? that would be -- man, isn't that dynamite? keurig and the news rubbermaid, the stocks would have gone higher on their own but this makes them go that much faster. i've got one company that wasn't swayed by the sea of red ink. plus oil hit a major low today. how low can it but before it's unsafe to ignore? and tonight's rapid fire edition

stick with -- mmm, cramer! i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for

after a prolonged period where the pipeline master limited partnerships have been stuck in a house of pain, the price of oil went down below $40, a seven-year low. some of them found their footing, including nelk, which

after their general pattern announced plans for a deal that will significantly boost earnings next year, although it gave up most of those gains by the close. the stocks trade together in lockstep, even though many of them are in much better shape than they're weaker brethren. emlink partners has seen its stock fall 55% to date. a lot of that selling might be undeserved. it has a diverse geological footprint. the important thing is that 95% of this company's contracts are fee-based. it's effectively a toll road for energy. it's levered to the bottom of commodities that are being transferred. there's very little exposure to the price of oil and gas. it currently gives you a

the stock price has been punished so heavily in the past year. the weakness might be exacerbated by this evening's disastrous kinder morgan dividend slashing from 51 cents to 12.5 davis. let's check in with barry davis for more on what's happening in the company and in the broader industry. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> kinder morgan is a c corp. everyone is going to be buzzing about distributions being cut. why should we feel that enlink given the fact that kinder morgan said it was a toll road? >> you were kind enough to give me an opportunity to come here and tell our story.

because of the financial strength that we had as an mlp, also because of the unique and strategic alliance relationship that we have with devon. thirdly, broad scale diversity of assets, and lastly, great growth profile. those things we think really are what differentiate us. we've only gotten stronger in the last two years. >> this acquisition, were you able to get it at a good price? kinder morgan was making acquisitions, they kept saying they're buying at depressed prices. is this a case where you had a seller who had to get rid of it? >> jim, this is a great opportunity to highlight the relationship we have with devon. because of working with them and that partnership, we really feel like we know this asset and we know the technical assets of the

i will be very clear, though, when you buy top tier premier assets in premier locations, you don't see the type of degradation of value that you might see in some other places. so this isn't a firestorm sale. we believe this is a buying of a really quality asset. >> let's say the goldman scenario of oil at 20 happens or that natural gas breaks 85 cents. how does enlink do in that environment? >> we're financially strong, first of all. the resilience, the stability that we have comes from a well-contracted platform of assets. you said it in the opening. 95% of our gross margin comes from fee-based. that means simply units per margin of throughput. so it is a tollway structure. secondly, the diversity of the assets that we have. we have three growth areas today

believe in any environment. midland basin, and central oklahoma, with the tall observing assets, and louisiana, which is primarily a demand-driven syem, we're serving in-use customers. we believe those three areas will continue to grow. >> we've seen a lot of people questioning the model, people say listen, they can't borrow as much as they used to and they can't keep issuing stock because they're sick of that. how does enlink thrive in that structure? >> we've just announced a $1.5 billion transaction. we have prefinanced the entire transaction, including the first 500 million of capital growth that we have on the asset afterwards. we did that by strategically patterning with tpg capital and goldman sachs, making an investment through this transaction. we think we have access to

and we don't have to access the equity markets in the near term. >> what's really happening here? i mean, you know the group's being crushed in these mlps and etfs. they're destroying people. as you sit back, do you say that -- are there many companies where the distribution is going to be cut? is kinder an outlier? it's not an mlp, but are you going to see many of the walking injured? >> there really has been a differentiation -- or i'm sorry, there has not been a differentiation to date between companies. >> right. >> i was in a meeting recently with one of our large investors. i was telling of all the good things that we had going on. and as we kept going, i was getting louder and more intense in terms of trying to demonstrate all the great work that was being done. he final said, hold on for a second, we love the work you're doing, but let me tell you, right now it doesn't matter. the investors are waking up every day to a terrible market. so we have a dislocation.

differentiation. there will be the haves and the have-notes. i think the tpg capital and goldman sachs investment in us is a demonstration of the ones that want to be in a platform that's got an opportunity to do great things. >> maybe that's the final thing that people have been waiting for. i think that enlink is in very good shape. barry davis, president and ceo of enlink midstream. i thought richard kinder wasn't going to do what he did tonight. the group to own, right now, as barry said.

[ buzzer ] >> announcer: the lightning

ameritrade. what do we do with the oil stocks? they're in free fall despite a momentary respite today. what happens if we're too negative? that's why tonight we're going off the charts with the help of sue smith, a skilled technician.

she thinks the sentiment surrounding crude has gotten too costly. she's not saying rush out and stockpile barrels of oil in your basement. fire hazard. she's not pounding the table to go all exxon or chevron. consider the daily index for crude was at 6 yesterday out of a hundred. the last time people got that pessimistic about oil was in august when we had a big meltdown followed by a rebound. that's why smith thinks you need to view this moment of panic as the opportunity to gradually pick up some quality oil stocks in the weakness. which of the oil names does she think are worth owning? she's noticed a diversion between the price of oil and the performance of certain oil companies. despite getting plastered over the last couple of days, they bottomed when oil prices plunged last august and last october. but the price of oil is lower

stocks are higher. let's just go through the charts. to smith, this action suggests a good relative strength. institutions seem to have let up on their selling. let's consider chevron's weekly chart. after a tremendous rebound in october, okay, look at that, it was big, chevron climbed from 76 to 97, the recent onslaught has caused the stock to give back a decent chunk of its gains. smith points out it happened on lower volume. you see the volume drop off there. remember, volume is almost like a polygraph. smith thinks chevron is in the process of making a bullish flag formation. the stock moves up almost in a straight line followed by a period of consolidation that looks like a pennant, which is exactly what we have here.

hold on to the bottom of the pennant at 85, this pattern could complete itself, setting the stage for the stock's next leg higher. chevron has a yield and they've acid they're going to stick by that yield. i think the dividend is really safe. next up, the daily chart of the big daddy and the most conservative company, exxon mobil. even after the recent carnage, smith believes exxon is nearing a golden cross. i see a head and shoulders but she sees a golden cross. what she's doing is looking at it 50-day moving average, that's the short term, and the 200-day. it's one of the most bullish things that can happen, because this could cross. that would be a golden cross. by the way, the full statistics are down at the bottom, it indicates exxon has gone down too far, too fast, and the stock could be good for a rebound. finally, check out conoco phillips, which technically hasn't been an oil company since three years ago.

in october, after bottoming in august, okay? so that's what you have to look at there. however, after trading sideways for a couple of months, the stock traded below its average last week and is fighting to regain its footing. smith believes conoco is less than a buck below where it's currently trading. most importantly, when you look at the full oscillator as well as the relative strength index, rsi at the top and oscillator at the bottom, you can see that conoco has gotten to extreme oversold territory. i know right now people are terrified of all things oil. but when everybody is panicking, it pays to start buying these three big guns of oil. it's a bold prediction and i'm not a big fan of anything fossil

but a bounce? if these stocks don't go down on the kinder dividend cut and oil inventories get reported tomorrow then i think we get a bounce, although it might be of the dead feline variety if there's no crude follow-through back to $40. stick with cramer. (politely) wait, wait, wait! you can't put it in like that, you have to rinse it first. what's that, alfredo? no,that can go in. no it can't! what are you, nuts? that's baked-on alfredo. baked-on? it's never gonna work. dish issues? trust your dishwasher with cascade platinum. it powers... through... your toughest stuck-on food. better than finish. (to the hostess) see, told you it would work... (turns to girl 2) you guys heard me say that, right? cascade. the tougher tough-food cleaner. (coughing) coughing disrupts everyone's life. that's why there's delsym. delsym's advanced time release formula helps silence coughs for a full 12 hours. all night...

i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back.

'5f>ws+o all right. a couple of keys to this market. when oil was down, the whole market was down, oil started going up. the market rallied. it don't go all the way so of course the market topped. but the nasdaq did well. why? because when the economy grows, people want super growth. where do we find supergrowth? on the nasdaq. tomorrow we'll look at kinder. it was a very jarring dividend cut. i like to say there's always a bull market somewhere and i promise to find it for you right here at "mad money." i'm jim cramer. see you tomorr
