i want to get your opinion on pfizer. is this a good long-term bet? >> yes. i like pfizer, a lot of ways a key to this market, meaning it represents a blueprint drug stock that can go higher. they spun off the animal health division, they are doing so many things right, it's incredible. speculation in this market means finding stocks flying under the radar. that's what we're trying to do at this stage of the cycle. wall street doesn't get fully recognized to transform viropharma. take the time to do the homework. do it right. i've got to tell you, i think this could be a very good one. lightning round is next. >>> coming up, you sent cramer to the books. he's got the answers you need. jim responds to your tweets @jimcramer #madtweets, and your e-mails just ahead. >>> it is time! it's time for the lightning [ male announcer ] ah... retirement. sit back, relax, pull out the paper and what? another article that says investors could lose tens of thousands of dollars in hidden fees on their 401(k)s?! seriously? seriously. you don't believe it? search it.
