kyle. from social media. our first question comes from a tweet @chris mampi, who wrote @jimcramer, what am i missing with smith& wesson, beat and raise. listen, pal, you're absolutely right. i got to tell you something. this one is a political situation. a lot of people feel with the new president coming in, he's pro-gun, and there won't be this big rush to buy guns as there are if a new president comes in who is anti-gun. i say it's all noise. i think it's a great long-term hold, and i think that smith & wesson, another six months from now, is going to be higher. do we have time for another while i'm enjoying my yule log? here we go. next we got a tweet from @will. who asked, @jimcramer, what's your take on ollie's bargain outlet. i was in the store recently and couldn't leave. ollie's is real good because they've got a model that people really love. don't forget this is a company that has an army. most retailers do not have armies. i side with an army. i want to know how many divisions the other guys have. all right.
