you're saying for mattel and hasbro a hold because the future is not that bleak. why?it all has do with expectations. nobody's expecting these toy companies to show stellar growth. they're immature businesses to begin with. they've demonstrated ability to roll with the punches. they've faced challenges from video games for 30 years an they've done fine against that. not suggesting tap tablets aren't going to take some business away but these companies are adaptable and making products a bit more innovative and technological. in addition, this is probably the most bullish point, there is an awful lot of people outside the north american market that aren't really lining up to buy the ipad mini or anything like that soon. the emerging markets of brazil and other countries in latin america and eastern europe, the middle class is growing so fast, not just in number but -- and purchasing power but the willingness an desire to spend a lot on their kids as almost a status symbol. you see enormous spending on kids. >> these aren't dumb companies. do either hasbro or mattel have

guys, the reason this is important, it reminds me when i first heard about this of mattel and when mattelought the learning company back in the late '90s. i think it was the late '90s. what i thought there was -- remember, they bought the learning company. the learning company had been the focus of a lot of short sellers. once it was acquired, five months later, mattel blew up because it cited the issues of the learning company. >> not being rude, i'm taking a look at medtronic here, down about 2.4%. >> with the rest of the market. the market doesn't appear too spooked yet. >> no. look, the market won't be too spooked. this is a big part of medtronic's push into china. look, maybe it will work out. look, there are a lot of red flags. you want to pay attention to them. be interesting to see if this is something that will be of interest down the road. >>> let's take a quick look at what's happening with the market. we're down 222 points for the dow, sitting a the 13,326. the nasdaq is suffering right now as techs are moving lower. intel, ibm, google, microsoft, and clearly this is the under

david: so why is mattel doing so well?ad a great day earnings, full disclosure, we were short mattel going in, and we thought fundamentally there's headwinds for this kind after company. stuart: do you buy it or not? . we look at the price jump to get on the other side of it. stuart: jay petrocelli, thank you, sir. it's the climate report you probably didn't hear about, no global warming in the last 16 years. so why did we spend billions on climate change? will we get our money back? my take on that. when we got married. i had three kids. and she became the full time mother of three. it was soccer, and ballet, and cheerleading, and baseball. those years were crazy. so, as we go into this next phase, you know, a big part of it for us is that there isn't anything on the schedule. oh, hey alex. just picking up some, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance spee. great! it's always good to have a backup plan, in case i get hit by a meteor. wow, your hair looks great. didn't realize they did photoshop here. hey, good call on

mattel would be the one that i like. it has a 3.5% yield. the forecasts about holiday season, they are based on nothing. that is total thumb sucking. whatever anyway, use the calendar to remind you when your anniversary is. not for investing. anyway, wow, try looking at the fundamentals, not your desk calendar. stay with cramer. >> coming up cash crop? the midwest crop sent shares up to 52 week highs. after failed earnings should you be harvesting your gains or doubling down? cramer talks to the ceo next. >> and later, wall street is at war and when the analysts disagree it is your time to make "mad money." cramer is giving you a price check on costco. real estate stocks have been soaring. tonight cramer turns to the technicals to see if they are built to go higher or if they are no longer stable. all coming up on "mad money." i'm bara ck o bama and i approve i'm bara this message. ck o romney: "it's time to stand up to the cheaters" vo: tough on china? not mitt romney. when a flood of chinese tires threatened a thousand american jobs... it

going on here, they put a sell rating on hasbro, a price target of 32 bucks from $34 and lowered mattelwell. in one area that did well for boys, well, that's been coming off as well. so, the big picture here is toys are not so hot for the holiday season according to goldman sachs. and also, we've talked about sprint, and guess what the two big losers are in the dow jones industrial average today? verizon and at&t. well, we can't go ahead and make a direct correlation between good news for sprint, bad news for the other guys, we can say that those names have been under pressure and continue to be under pressure again. the biggest two losers in the dow, at&t and verizon on a day when sprint is celebrating. stuart: and you might be an able to make a connection. 20 billion dollars coming to sprint from japan is hardly good news for its competitors, verizon and at&t. nicole, thank you. the dow only with a 20 point gain, there you have it. time is money, 30 seconds, here is what else we have for you today. latest polls are showing californians may actually vote against raising their own taxes
