shares of tjx, they're down fractionally this morning, really not at all.ing from a very powerful person in washington, some really serious allegations. see what they say. >> it's not just that, this company and just the off price theme has been a real trend, bullish one for many investors out there as folks look to see whether or not you can capitalize on this focus towards budget conscious consumers, but for you, do you worry about the products you have out there sometimes? >> i do shop at tj maxx and a lot of places for bargains i think from what i understand, the feeling amongst retailers has always been buyer be ware, you know i think especially when you're shopping at shops like that. you know, i fortunately i don't have children yet so i'm not buying baby seats. >> or car seats. >> exactly it's definitely buyer be ware. >> big story, especially when the senate minority leader gets involved. >> exactly. >>> still on deck for the show, barrons taking a page from "worldwide exchange," out with the decades best performing stocks and asking the question,

tjx in terms of stock, burlington has more upside here. we also like lowe's closing the gap with home depot. on the discount side walmart, target, bj's are names we're recommending if we had to pick one it would be walmart at this point >> as i look at the stocks, some have really high gains like target up 88%. if i own those companies today would this be a good time to take some profits or a good time to wait to buy >> we think december is not a great time to own stocks in general. just looking at the historical data, retail does tend to underperform in the month of december and even if you start on black friday through the end of the year. that is more pronounced the more a company makes in terms of annual profit in december or post-thanksgiving. best buy is one of the more volatile stocks and an underperformer this time of the year a great day when they reported last week. it does tend to underperform on the other hand the less a company makes, they tend to hold up better. home depot and lowe's tend to be strong performers in the month

he would drag me to five, six, seven stores, but i like tjx, and i think it does go higher.t the time, oh, my god, how many stores do we have to visit. darn it, pop, were you ever right. this is a red hot market but there are stocks that have room to run what kind of stocks, shopify, nvidia, not a dog, the stock and pay pal. and home depot if it puts in the bottom, you know, the cross over there. there's a bunch more "mad money" and how a blow up in a biotech company can offer larger lessons, this is our lessons learned new segment in the sector don't make a move before hearing my take, and a slew of bad news for boeing, wondering why it's stock isn't lower, i'm telling you why that could be the wrong question tonight's edition of the lightning round, so stick with cramer do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. and when you open a new brokerage account, your cash is automatically inves

standouts in your view >> we do think there are several standouts, first of all, the off price retailers, tjxss stores, burlington, they represent value, and they will follow on price, but they will always maintain their price discount relative to the full price channel. if we do have tariffs come in, the off price retailers would be positioned at an even greater value proposition. because they're buying goods already here in the united states in large measure they would not be the ones paying for the tariffs. we think they're certainly in better position. you also have companies with actual pricing power, and i would call out lieu liulu lemon, yedi, these are brands that have performance technology or some sort of quality point of difference that gives them some degree of pricing power, and we think they are absolutely better positioned heading into this environment. >> they are inoculated because of the quality of their products and the brand they have been able to establish. kimberly, thank you very much, great to see you >> court, bethlehem yesterday, canada tomorrow, safe travels as you

dynamic year for retail, with a big divergence between winners and losers lululemon up 90% this year tjxed 36%. target up more than 90%. best buy higher by 66% gap, "l" brands, children's place, all down more than 30% in 2019 macy's shed more than 40% of its value this year. and kohl's lost more than 23% in 2019 >> courtney, thank you for more on the divergence in retail and which stocks might be the best buying opportunities, let's bring in dan nifin's, ceo. great to see you today we were talking earlier about this tail of two stores. it sounds very, you know, classic in our literature take off here so you've got target on one hand macy's on the other hand which of these leads the decade in doing the right thing can macy's turn it around? >> leads the decade? boy, that's a long time. i don't have any investors that have a decade-long horizon but let's look at the next couple of years. if macy's doesn't cut the dividend, and they won't, because they have good cash flow, can they get significantly cheaper? i don't think so they're paying a 10% dividend. it surprises me that a lot of peopl

and we could see some more of those as we get to '21 and beyond >> i've got to get your thoughts on tjxretty much unchanged, and that was despite senator schumer saying that he wants a federal probe of t.j. maxx, marshal's, and home goods stores over sales of deadly products. basically, the company continuing to sale products that had been recalled. why don't you think it dented the stock more and how big of a risk is it for investors given the fact that this has been a name that's ripped higher this year. >> i think you have a lot of companies that are large public companies, where on average, there are things that have happened i think they take heed to those items, i think they address them, and i think consumers wouldn't be going everywhere if there were safety issues and huge concerns. i think when you call them the end of this week or next week, it will be addressed >> dana telsey, thank you for joining us >> thank you >>> still ahead, rolling the dice fantasy sports company draft king set to become a public company, but it's foregoing the typical ipo process. we'll dig in on thos

meanwhile senate majority leader mitch mcconnell wants probe of owner of tjx and marshall's, on allocationssold recalled goods. you don't do that. back to the market. jeff sica is here. you've been cautious throughout the rally. if people listened to you they would have missed out on a lot of gains? >> i think people would have listened to me they would have missed out on gains but would have also protected themselves from the next downturn. i believe the good defense is the best offense. even though some people have taken money off the table especially in the big tech stocks, i was talking about bank stocks and how bank stocks have a future last year. we had a good year with bank stocks and some brick-and-mortar retailers also had a halfway decent year. so there are other places to invest. david: jeff, at this point last year we were about 6,000 point lower on the dow than we are right you no. we've had a year of tremendous gains. mostly because what the fed did, by the way, changed their tactic of continue all rise of rates. was there any point in that year that you said, okay, i can see
