a micron lead is not going to mean much for the s&p 500 there is not a lot of overlap. but there is in the nasdaq just like micron, these two stocks were trading like it was all over but the crying. figuring flash and hard drives would peak instead, they are gaining. they are accelerating earnings and the stocks are soaring i think they will keep soaring, why? because they are incredibly, inexpensive even after days like today. second, the cloud which is dominated by amazon and alphabet off to the races there too i'll tell you which ones make the cut later in the show. you are going to want to own this list of seven what else is in the data center? nvidia, broad com in the mix too so what is not rallying but has become integral to the crowd structure and all the internet of things? intel. i think the rumors that intel is going to buy broad com are for lack of a better word,total poppy clock. i will go there for one second the idea is that if broad com manages to acquire qualcomm, turning around and buying broad com would give it the leg up to buy things all apple when t

after micron rallied only 30% in under three weeks, definition hot money. why don't you say i missed it or i'm going to wait for th quarter. no no no they couldn't wait hot money was seduced by the thoughtless blast office these guys are just like lemmings and just like lemmings, they end up diving off the cliff. then a few minutes off the obligatory bounce, it continued to fall. all the way to $54 then another analyst with $100 price. no doubt the stock wouldn't see 61 anytime soon has sent micron down to 52 can you imagine if they had missed visions of 100 dancing in their head, now they want to cut and run at any price they don't know the difference between flash memory or grandmaster flash. but what they do know is what the chart looks like it will have a real ugly chart a head and shoulders pattern so analysts who bought in at the high 50s don't know that the stock has peaked while the company can earn this year, they're saying most likely it will be a down year because of flash and anytime wall street thinks you are going to have a down year, you are

look at this run in micron maybe it's going to consolidate.osh is much better with these charts than i am is it going to have to consolidate for a while before the next leg higher? in the meantime, i'd rather be an intel waiting to see what the rest of the tech space is quoing to look like >> we're just hear frg the white house that the president will hold a news conference at the top of the hour. at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. doesn't hold many of these but there is so much on the plate today to talk about. not only what's happening with these tariffs in china, you've got to omnibus spending bill he is threatening to veto we'll find out what the president has to say about all of that. whether he was asked directly b about what the stock market did yesterday when w the dow falling more than 700 points in response to the rollout of those china tariffs. there's a lot going on he has new people coming into his inner circle that he's sure t to be asked about. >> don't forget, this weekend is going to probably be 2 million or more people on the streets

hock tan is maybe going to go after micron and micron is going to earn itself sixth times earning after this run remember broadcom historically has done great acquisitions and micron is an american company and western digitalis up and i am -- this is the renaissance of the internet of things micron is way ahead of the chinese -- i don't know. hock tan wants to do a deal? why not buy micron >> we'll see i think he's got to take a little bit of time i think he's got to step aside when you get a presidential decree, did you read that thing? >> yeah. >> that was some seriously tough talk >> i read it last night. my phone lit up with people who are saying -- wait a minute, is this -- one guy called it fascium. i read the note and i am saying are you kidding me are you saying that cfius is not important? it is called highlyunusual and self optimal for companies that may want to take over. >> i think you want to step aside a little bit and get yourself re-domiciled. >> micron has changed. it has become a data center play because of flash and micron's chips. i was reading to prep for my intervi

did we suddenly start selling micron and intel, we said these guys are doing poorly, or did micron give us an absolutely incredible number? >> micron want that strong, i actually sold some >> you better buy it back before it goes up again >> micron is always misled, not intervention, but been too optimistic about the cycles and capacity comes on. the trouble you get into, not you but in general, with semis is that -- >> they're cyclicals >> how about the idea that mi micron is a different company than they were a couple of years ago? >> that's always a story >> that's not always a story >> wait a minute you just said you weren't there. >> i sold some but i'm still there. this is a teachable moment for you, pete. >> the guy is nuts >> let's roll the tape >> let's roll the tape >> sector selection. technology is the one sector by far that you look at and you say it's fundamentally sound and maybe it's technically challenged so really, if you're looking at technology and you have this kind of disbelief. >> he says it's not. >> no, it's fundamentally sound far more than any other sectors. i

week and a half ago, it translates to what micron is seeing now we've talked about micron for quite someime on this show if you look at it, it's sort of the semis have been impervious micron has gone from 42 to 59. valuation, you can make a compelling argument. mergers and acquisitions you can make a compelling argument the whole place seems to be in play the numora analyst has been on this for quite some time who am i to cast dispersions on - >> you have cast dispersions before. >> i have, but not on -- >> what are aspergss >> you cast them >> does anyone aspersions unless their cast what were going to say >> demand in the sector is what it's all about last year there was a lot of inventory drawdown, a lot of guys this year are seeing tremendous inventory build that's not necessarily a bad thing. i think the consolidation is great but that's not why you own these. the mega cap tech chip plays in the semis are the ones to own here >> yeah, i want to hear what you have to say about intel, but we're out of time. we'll just tune in >> yeah. none cast on the "closing bell." >> thank you appr

let's start with micron.aker of dynamic access memories or d rams and fla flash memories had a big surge everyone expected the pricing for micron's products to collapse hp told us pricing remains strong throughout the rest of the year if that is the case, the stock is way too cheap it is a buy on this break out. in a little noticed interview last week. morgan stanley sat down with the team it blew me away. i had no idea it could be this fabulous and the service in these firms they eat flash like nothing else on earth western digital, makers of hard drives and digital memories is a buy. personal computers going again, it makes no sense intel just trad trades 14 time its earnings. amd makes graphic chips for gaming perhaps the hottest areas outside of cloud meanwhile, theboom in all of these chips tell me the semiconductor chips makers let me tell you, i see tremendous pin action off of micron the themes are too great to ignore the pc suppliers are back and most are way too cheap i think they will look like bar

now the white house put the kibosh on the broadcom/qualcomm deal micron had good results and guidancend the stock closed down 8% today. so to me, i think all this protectionist stuff about the tariffs could hit this sector. so you know, i've just got to say, look at this chart right here, the smh. i mean, it really looks like it's going back to that up trend that's been in place i don't think i'm saying that the thing's going to crash by any means, but i think if the s&p and the nasdaq go back to those prior february 9 lows, this thing is going back to the mid-to-low 90s, and i think there's an easy way to play this on a bounce. let's say we get a little bounce monday morning when i was looking at this at 1:06, the smh, today, you can look out to may expiration and buy the put spread, paying $2.95 for that, buying one of the may 1.05 puts and selling one of the may 95 puts at $1.50 that's $2.50 to break even at $102.50 on the down side and you can make down to $7.50 down to $9 between now and may expiration this is looking to target a move just back to that up trend and a lot of techn

micron reporting after the bell tomorrow the options market is implying pretty big moves for this hot chip stock let's get to mike khouw out in austin texas you have better weather than us. >> here we are in the south. it is a little bit warmer. micron is a name that typically moves a decent amount on earnings, about 6% but it's implying a larger move for that this time 7.3% we did see increased call activity most of the activity was concentrated at that time woos the week three mark 63 calls they traded for a buck and a and a half that was options traders betting the move was going to be to the up side. and others in april. >> would you go into micron into earnings >> i would i don't own them i was out about a weak or so ago and i'm in intel it is the pricing. and they have demand the chips are all in their favor right now for micron is there a show that talks about options? >> yeah. >> i think it's friday afternoon around 5:30. >> friday, 5 '03 >> i'll be there. >> you know what, "options action." 530 "people" eastern time. we will see mike khouw i think from austin texas, in fact c

for instance. >> intel -- micron -- i thought the quarter for micron was outstanding. not sure what scared people. i think what scared people is the fact if the china did retaliate, they would do it in terms of flooding the market with derecommend and that's going to be detrimental to micron if you look at it on an valuation basis it's cheap and what is it called when you walk over to the plasma. >> fast pitch. >> that's what pete did the other day. swell obviously down today on a bad tape if you are asking for stocks that should not have been thrown out with the rest gang. >> which they did, two days ago, last friday. >> our next guest says there is may be a buying opportunity in one of the sectors chris, tell us what to buy amidst the selloff. >> quite a buy, especially with are the pt to the broader market something we see in corrective phases you have to get to a point where there is a lot of fear out there the wayly look at that is through put calls. finally over the last couple of days we are getting a meaningful spike this the put call ratio. et cetera a not dis

what they need to do at all the right times and they have prepared themselves going into the future micron as well acquisitions in the space. they have done it and positioned themselves well for cloud and mobile and everything else i love the chips, most of them trade at an extremely cheap valuation. great cash flow, cash on the balance sheets, i think m&a is going to persist >> a lot were hyped up because of the promise of autonomous drive. >> let's be clear, micron and intel, those valuations are arguably very cheap relative to their peers. what's going on in the space is not just autonomous. it's ai. it's memory. d ram is also strong i think there is restocking going on i think you are buying weakness. >> speaking of the chips we have got a cramer alert the madman him, james cramer is here he just spoke with the ceo of nvidia hi jim, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me on. exciting day for us here at "mad money." >> the ceo said something interesting about bitcoin. take a listen. >> cryptocurrency will be here, the ability for the world to have a very low frictions low

liberal politics of micron wanted by the car because we disagree with the government we can't accept this reforms that's why we are always here with us which is the most part of course the promises he made i think have absolutely not been fulfilled. the clashes between police and protesters in paris have been getting more violent as the days gone on protesters threw rocks at officers they responded with water cannon. one of those. thousands upon thousands of people have come out to the streets of paris to take part in a number of approaches to protests not just taking place here in this city the capital of france but this is a nationwide day of strikes amongst many of the thousands of public civil servants here in france has come out to show their unhappiness unease with the plans by president marcos government just slashed a hundred and twenty thousand jobs in the first five years of his term as being a president many people say to the current government wants to break the system that's the system of hospital to work in libraries and they say that they're unhappy this is one of many

oracle, micron, alphabet and nvidia all getting crushed the xlk tech etf off 9.9% from its high is there more pain ahead let's go to dan looking a the cracks in the chip stocks. >> let's check the etf that tracks the semiconductor sector here it massively outperformed the 1516 months of broader tech. this outperformance that still exists this year even with the nasdaq down 3.5% i think is an opportunity here for traders to be nimble on the short side. if you are of the belief that the s&p and or the nasdaq are going back to those prior lows we entered the thooer year with optimism about m&a, exposure to new technologies, autonomous driving and ai and that kind of thing. the white house put the kwai bosch on the broadcom/qualcomm deal, i think all this protectionist stuff about the tariffs could hit this sector. i have got the say look at this chart here, the serks mh it looks like it's going back to that up trend that's been in place. i don't think i'm saying that the thing is going to crash. but i think if the s&p and nasdaq go back to those pryer february 9 lows this is going back to t

the question is does it get it back a lot of it hinging on micron? >> yeah, i think micron is really important because i think that what we have is the internet of things we have semis. i got to tell you, tariffs worry me and the video of the unfortunate of the fatality, i know that there are a lot of people in the valley trying to figure out okay, how do we make sure that didn't happen again. maybe nothing. maybe it can't be stopped. that does matter but you know what, we're going to get tired of selling. there is a great piece about before you sell apple, take a look at the revenue stream take a look at the service stream that won't have -- today is a done day >> apple down again. >> you got to read a report. it is a really good report but that takes genuine home spun read it and that is very hard for the pajama traders >> if tech cannot resume this leadership role, what is going to fill the void >> financials and health care. >> but it is going down this morning though >> no, they can't go down. you just asked me who can -- today is not a great da

storage you are skeptic to deal with anything that's very good point today the french president is micron he was asked for his reaction to the italian results i feel your pain is what we could hear from mr take a listen. not who i notice in today's world we can defend beautiful ideas. but we cannot do it by putting aside the brutality of the context of it that italy today suffered from the pressure that has been building up for months and months now in the context of the migration crisis we have to bear that in mind you. and your friends will keep defending an ambitious europe that protects people which i have defended since i was elected as a explained during my speech on france strategy last september these principles will guide friends ex and together with the spotless person in the coming years of and who deal with but it was. all right so that's mr barber let me ask you what is the french president trying to do here i mean if he can find common ground with donald trump successfully can he do the same with the far right to tell you government. that's pretty much impossible because don

but they had a state of emergency which was then rescinded to great fanfare by president micron in october last year and yet at the very same time what he actually did was sign into the legislation a new piece of law which was just a trick pony and is that state of emergency and that is counterterrorism so all of howlers are still there in france they've just changed the name they've changed the terminology and yet all those powers are still preventing the security agencies and police from protecting their french citizens so i fail to see how much more they can do i mean civil liberties campaign is in france have been a gulf coast at the new sweeping powers put in place because counterterrorism. for in the past commented on the incident saying that france for that war planning very similar to the one president and also long ago president along what do you make of those comments. i think that's quite inflammatory i mean france has experience of terrorist attacks for many decades just like the u.k. had with the provisional ira the french had problems with algeria in terrorist during the sepa

you want to watch the big bellwether, that's micron reporting after the close today. >> thanks for that meantime, the nasdaq getting hit hard in today's session aztec stocks stumble the index is on track for third weekly decline in the past four weeks. bertha coombs joins us with a look at the big movers. >> of course, our big cap tech here is, again, leading the decline. facebook hitting a new low for the week off of those levels at this point. the nasdaq, of course, aid market cap weighted index. we're not finding anyplace to hide in terms of point impact, amazon, microsoft, alphabet are providing an even bigger drag on the index. i've been watching apple today it's looking to break a four-day losing streak. it actually moved to just above the even mark today. so, that will be worth watching to see if the nasdaq can get a little lift there and apple can close positively a number of tech hardware firms like apple face potential retaliation from china on tariff issues that could be an overhang. today it's really hitting the chinese e-commerce play areas like baozun and vipshops which ha

micron, nvidia, those names to me look like they want to continue to make new highs at the same time, i still caution, i would not be all in on this market there's a lot under the surface, as carter and tim mentioned, that's just not right. >> we talked about amazon. i look the different way on this alibaba, you don't want to buy a stock that's $1600, you buy a stock that's $192, a little pricey, doing the same exact things that amazon did, every step of the way. i expect this to be well over 200 sooner rather than later >> we mention micron because they raised their price target from $50 to $100 obviously there were a lot of different reasons, including potentially m&a in the space micron could be trading 100 in the next six months or so given how strong pricing it. >> did you say trading to $100 in the next six month? >> yes, given how strong pricing is >> wow >> so this guy could look very smart again. >> prescient, perhaps. >>> coming up, industrials getting slammed as fears the trickle down effect of trump tariffs could hurt boeing and caterpillar. >>> plus one of the largest ass

micron is up 37% applied materials, 29. intel, 20. >> yeah, but, you know, you talk about intel, and we saw it upgraded today by bank of america in terms of their price target what's interesting about that, though, despite the fact that we've seen really significant performance from these stocks, it's being driven by really significant earnings so despite the fact that you had double digit gains in many cases amongst the chip companies last year, you actually didn't see the multiples expand in intel's case as an example, over the last two years you've seen multiple contractions, given the fact that their earnings are growing so significantly. bottom line, the chip names are substantiated by the fact that earnings are powerful, they're continuing to expand into other areas. >> adobe, auto desk, each up 30% since that february low you talk about, judge so fantastic and demand for those services. in particular like the publishing side of both of these companies, you know, autodesk for movies and everything else, not just archi
