let me give you the bottom line on a case-by-case basis which is what we do in cramerica. i think the president is right, this market is doing amazing things whatever else you might think of trump, this market is accurate if you disagree, what can i say. you know nothing no, wait, i'll save that 10-year-old rant for later in the show it's not hard to imagine the stocks going higher. it's easy to argue that every single one of them is worth owning right here and certainly on any dip what more could you ask for? how about joe in my home state of new jersey. joe? >> caller: hello, cramer thanks for all that you do for us. >> you're quite welcome. >> caller: i bought ingersoll-rand about three weeks ago. and it's down roughly 5.5% now, they reported strong earnings i don't understand why they're down should i still hold on to it >> the internals weren't that good the stock came on with a full head of steam. it had been doing great. this is just a good quarter, not enough there's been a lot of funky action in some of the industrials that have run, this is one of them i agree wi
