. >> i'm going to let dan nathan take his little victory lap. not too long ago he stood by the smart board and said amongst the reasons is metallica. >> it was pretty unscientific. >> enter sandman? >> we highlighted that they paid probably close to a million dollars to have metallica at an event. you don't book metallica at an employee event if you're going to lay an egg a couple days later. we just talked about mcdonald's. this stock has been between 55 and 65 for a year now. you are above the highs here. and there is no overhead resistance here. >> well, listen, the breakouts have been working. and they worked with great stories, like these guys have this massive secular trend here. so i do not think you faded. >> we'll have more throughout the hour. by the way, jim cramer's got an exclusive with the ceo on "mad money." >>> coming up next, we've got your dose of stock therapy on one biotech name that's gained more than 140% since going public. what might it mean for the health of the market as a whole? we take a deeper dive ahead. >>> plus, t

pete najarian, dan nathan, guy adami. here's what's coming up. refinery fire in california pressuring exxon. we'll tell you the impact on gas prices, retail and refiner socks. and solar city and sun edison stocks getting smacked. you can see on the reports, we have the details. from the nasdaq, getting closer to the key 5,000 mark. last time it was around these levels, was year 2000. we've got the three next generation tech plays that could power the index higher. we start off with a developing story on the refinery fire. exxon stock closing down 2%, while other fires like de soro closed higher. exxon, we should note, a laggart compared to its peers, especially on the back of the news yesterday we got from the filings that warren buffett dumped his stake. >> it's clearly part of it. the buffett announcement is putting pressure on exxonmobil. that and the fact it really hasn't moved the last couple months, vacillating between 8 1k39 92. i think the trade is tessoro trading $87-ish prior to. we said it would be a buy and effectively that's what's h

dan nathan, wasn't this a triangle of death at one point? >> it did get killed. but here's the thing. this is a great example of a u.s. company that does not face the exposure from a strong dollar, and their consumers are benefiting from lower oil at the pump. but here's the thing. the stocks already made the move in front of this. and courtney just said, they reiterated 10% eps growth. the stock is trading at 31 times that expected growth. so to me, after you've had this massive run over the last six months, i don't really think you're chasing here. i think the stock is back to expensive again. it is a show me story again. >> i'd much rather go with celestial. i agree with you on that. obviously getting into wal-mart. pete and i were just talking about going to our local wal-mart because they have a whole aisle of organic stuff. >> sun trust moved up their target from 50 to 62. so the aggressiveness there, i understand that if this trades at a very high valuation. when you look at the numbers, 3.1% on their comparable sales last quarter. now 4.5%. you look at th

time for a fine print from dan nathan. >> here's the thing, right?ou know, mcdonald's, they just had this management change. this is a struggle. i think these big burger companies, i think they're really challenged. i think mcdonald's in particular has lost mine share. it's not just about what's on their menu and what they're doing. it's about everything else. when you think about chipotle, ten years ago, they had $500 million in sales. they're expected to have 5 billion in sales. where is that coming from? i think mcdonald's is structurally challenged here. so when you think about just last month, we had this wildly successful shake shack ipo. danny meyer, amazing restaurateur here. five states in america, in just five countries. i suspect they went public because they're going to grow like crazy. they have a great product. they have a great story. it's got a $1.5 billion market cap here. this is kind of the problem and they're expected to have $160 million in sales this year, okay? they're not selling a whole heck of a lot of burgers in the grand s

but dan nathan has a contrary vision on the mouse house.en. >> disney is showing a lot of volatility of late, if you have lots of gains in this thing this is one i would take profits in and look at an entry in 70. >> 92 half put spread for $1.50. i like that risk/reward. look at how quickly this stock dropped in the afternoon. this is the setup that some of these need a reset. disney could have it next week. >> now what, dan? >> here's the thing, that was clearly wrong. the stock is expensive. it's at post-crisis highs here. there's nothing to pick at with that quarter. i expect the numbers to come up. it's expected to be a deceleration for this quarter. i don't think you chase it up $8. look at the level at 96.5. that is an epic and beautiful breakout. if the stock comes back to 96, 97, that's you buy point. >> i want to get an update from brian kelly. he pounded the table and set a $100 price target and disney traded up to 97. it did hit within moments of the opening bell today. >> you know, and we discussed this when i thought about that

. >> when you said i would rather go other places -- >> dan nathan did that whole soliloquy on shouldhack. should buy qudoba. >> they owned chipotle. >> they messed it up. think of where mcdonald's stock would be if they still owned chipotle mexican drill. >> you think they should sell to mcdonald's? >> i'm just saying. >> it's frank underwood. >>> coming up, a bit of a shocking quarter for taser manufacturers. used by mostly police forces. the stock getting shredded into today's trade, an exclusive interview right after this break. we live in a pick and choose world. choose, choose, choose. but at bedtime? ...why settle for this? enter sleep number. don't miss the final days of the ultimate sleep number event. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. you like the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow! now we can all choose amazing sleep, only at a sleep number store. right now save 50% on the ultimate limited edition bed. hurry, ends sunday! know better sleep, with sleep number. >>> weight watchers tanking

information but google plus has been a complete bust and you just wonder if they would, you said dan nathann fox money said this, will google buy twitter at some point? >> i don't know if google will buy twitter. i do think google should have bought twitter when it could have had it for half the price or less than half the price it is right now. the relationship they both have together right now is at least an indication that they are friends again. >> i was wondering -- sorry, julia. go in. >> one thing i just want to correct you on, brian, is that twitter is expected to report earnings of six cents per share. expected to be $453 million. we are talking, they are generating profits but what's been interesting is in recent quarters, last quarter, twitter beat on the top and bottom line but the stock went down because of that user number. so the question here is can they grow that user number and then can they also convince wall street that that one user number is not that important. because it will take time to grow the service and a lot of people i talked to, lot of experts say this may no

. >> dan nathan brought this idea up.ing and karen finerman thought it was intriguing as well. what i zntsdidn't understand is he made the comparison of tim cook buying beats. it would simply highlight what mcdonald's is doing wrong as opposed to helping it do what it does better. >> i think it's a terrible idea. the reality is mcdonald's, look inside your own house, fix your own problems. shake shack is not the answer. if you're going to buy somebody go fat burger in and out. >> you can see more about this debate over whether mcdonald's should buy shake shack, cnbc.com/pro. next up here will jet packs soon be cleared for takeoff? i know you're a speed devil, racing cars and all that so you probably love this idea. >> i think it's fantastic. also good for google. think about the money they're going to make off youtube from just entire channels devoted to jet pack fails. >> then you should say go pro. gpro could benefit. >> this will be a disaster. people will be doing loops in the sky, hitting power lines. i think jet pac
