at my house is william sonoma. william sonoma stock came down by 15% after highs. you have to look at powdery barn, you have to look at restalm they have figured out this internet and they monetize it very well. i am looking for about a 30 percent jump in this stock and trading between 56 and 66 and looking for it to get up to 72 or so. > > i like those stocks. i think that maybe a little bit of a strech as far as the play on breakfast goes. i'm looking at dunking brands. this stock is upalmost 45% year to date. so it has ran up quite a bit, however it is just off its 52 week highs and trading with a really good looking chart. one of the best looking charts out there. it's right on support and its implying another $2 higher and by the end of the year i will have a $50 target for that by end the end of the year. > william sonoma sells $40 gravy and $40 cranberries, $72 biscuits those guys are in the crazy business and people are paying. topic 2)fb unlike -mark zuckerberg who started up facebook says about twitter: 'they drove a clown car that fell into a gold mine',

alan: did you mock me last week when i said williams sonoma? williams sonoma was up 6% yesterday. james: williams sonoma, coach, i will agree with alan those high end retailers are the plays i want. alan: you want to be really selective or you just want to trade xrt which is the retail index. that is a flawed sector. it's really hit and miss. angie: topic three:gold in toilet -- jet blue made news this week after more than a million dollars in gold bars were found in the jet's restroom-- is time for traders to flush their positions in gold? alan: i feel like it sometimes. 1250 is a very important pivot point in gold. it was the lowest in august and here in november. sometimes when things look the worst, that's when you have to start looking at them for the long term anyways. james: any rally in the gold market has been a sell this year. i'm currently not long gold and have no plans to get long gold even at these depressed levels here. we've seen it fall through every one of these key pivots and find sellers aggressively. alan: the dollar is the key. if the dollar gets back below 8

by the way, if williams sonoma comes down, i'm going to add it to the list. they should be on the list of what to buy and to the sell-off that's about some sort of a tapering and fed minutes, and i'm going ask donna and kate what to really do. after the bell i'll try to make you more money. >> coming up, fee for all? falling fuel prices and deep discount air fare help throttle the stock of spirit airlines this year. fasten your seat belts. you're about to find out. shop until you drop. want a read on retail? tanger outlet all 13 million square feet of it. cramer is talking to the ceo ahead of the black market rush to hear what's ahead. >>> you know, it's been absolutely on fire this year, and you know i like this group. if you want to own a smaller more growth-oriented airline stock look no further than spirit airlines, sabe for all you home gamers. here's the ultra low price operator that runs over 50 aircrafts that serves over 150 non-stop markets. they make customers pay extra for luggage and carry-on and they can cram more people than most of their compet

williams-sonoma, the high end, they did well overall.ull-year revenue estimate, still below consensus. but all of the high-end guys have done well. we've had nordstrom report, fossil, kors reported, tumi, they all did great. the one exception on the high end, coach, they're losing out to michael kors. but that's the one exception. tiffany's we'll get shortly. they haven't reported yet. elsewhere, you know, you have to look at the low end of the -- low, middle end of the market. it's simple. not enough job growth and there's not enough income growth, and then companies with specific problems. take a look at sears. i don't want to throw a lot of numbers at you. i'll make it simple. same-store sales down 3.1%. this is kmart and sears together. i checked this, it's 14-straight quarterly sales declines is what i saw. 14 straight quarterly sales declines! good heavens! now, we know they're not investing much in the stores, but that's just a move to the downside. now, we saw the move up on the last quarterly report here and the company looks li

>> williams sonoma, looking at last quarter, q2, earnings up 14%.look at what they're doing, they have so much business in the e-commerce world, 50% of the revenues now, that's why the margins are improving, as well. when you look at this can, they're clicking on all cylinders. they still are very small internationally, only 5% of the revenues. i think there's plenty of growth there. that's why i put them in the category of a kors, unfortunately, versus a coach. because they're still that growth there of where i think there's plenty of expansion on the upside. >> why williams-sonoma versus restoration hardware? >> restoration hardware is a nightmare, and why is everybody there deciding to get out. every insider for the most part started piling out of the stock. it has a monster short interest, and that's a cliff people will fall off. >> a lot going on at restoration hardware. the management team is trying to shift it from the high-end furnishings to the lifestyle luxury brand, which everybody is trying to do. it's not working. that's a wait-and-see.

the one bright spot is williams-sonoma, reporting a profit of 58 cents a share. how do you trade the sector heading into the holidays? a week to go until thanksgiving. >> yeah, i think what willia williams-sonoma is telling you is what michael kors told us the other day. there are two different consumers, and the high-end consumer won't stop shopping this season. i think that if you look at all of the hiring that's happening at retailers all over the country, this could be a much better-than-expected year, versus prior years and versus what they're thinking so far. so i like the group going into the holidays. >> all right. well, goldman sachs just released its 2014 outlook for stocks, including four suggested strategies to find value. we're going to find out if the traders agree, and what your best play could be. then hedge fund heavyweight david einhorn is here to reveal his best investment idea, exclusively on cnbc. that and much more is just ahead on the "halftime report."

williams sonoma a 22% comp from west elm. i always throw that thing out. i get a catalog like seven or eight times a day. i toss them but somebody else is using them. those numbers are amazing. that apparently is a price point that pleases so many that west elm may be, yes, the hottest brand right now in housewares. incredible. i think the home goods helped macy's to stand out as really the only department store that has a terrific home goods platform. but terry london, the ceo, indicated power very strong there through october. that is rather amazing given that many other retailers are complaining about how washington wrangling hurt that month's sales. i guess the people who go to macy's don't watch the news. okay. enough of the good. let's talk about trouble. the big discount retailer seemed to lost their way, target, walmart, jc penney. they do some soul searching. there's an astoundness the sense companies don't offer what the consumers need or want. it's as if the bargains and sales they're throwing aren't resonating in this nation. i fancy myself pre

we had the ceo of williams sonoma here the other day -- >> who? >> yeah, i know, i know.ed about what a commodityized business you're in right now. there's so much competition, so many places people can buy gadgets for a much cheaper price. it's all about market share. i can't imagine margins are high in your industry. >> it's all about having a product for the customer that's interesting. telling them a story, give them a reason to come into a store or go to the website to find something that's really exclusive or innovative. i think we do a great job of that. that's really what we're here for, is to celebrate cook and find ways for people to have more fun in the kitchen. >> what's the mix currently, jashgs between goods and service at your store? by services i mean some of those cooking classes which are going to grow in value for your company over the next couple of years. i think about a petsmart, too, building on that services model which is something an amazon, frankly, can't do. >> exactly. it's a more compelling reason for people to come to us. it's one thing to w

and we also get results from williams sonoma, which fits into this pattern of home improvement winners. that said, the stock often trades down when it reports, not unlike restoration hardware, but then comes back with a vengeance a few days later. so maybe wait until it comes down and do some buys. beyond that, we heard from two companies i'm very concerned about that have continually let people down when they report. deere and adt. i worry that deere could be once again saying a lot of negative things the because of the vicious downturn in corn prices. adt is facing tough competition from at&t and cox communications, which are often their own home security plans, something i believe is causing a price war in the industry. holy cow. thursday is what i call jam-packed with controversy. first, we had abercrombie & fitch reporting. we'll hear from the newly enshrined "mad money" wall of shamer, michael jeffries. the key is for jeffries to announce his retirement. that's right. we want him to say, listen, i'm done, contracts up for the renewal, i'm gone. if that happens, you should expect

home depot's numbers, williams-sonoma's numbers.nt and delta faucets and they grew and the next five years estimated they'll grow 70% each year. the stock is on the verge of a major breakout and i think the outing thing will start to become-- in other words, won't be flippers and chinese investors and if that happens, i think the stock is going to take off. stuart: a housing improvement play is always good news and masco is your pick on this one. thanks, the hunger games, catching fire, could be the hottest movie of the year, hits the box offices today. it's the second movie in the hunger games series. first one brought in, wait for it, 691 million dollars, some say this might top the sequel, might top that. more on this from the host of this show. this is a three-day weekend coming up. and how much do you think they're going to bring in? >> expectations and anticipations for this movie is higher than my hair right now and that's saying something.

and we've got strong profit, decent outlook from williams sonoma, that stock's up 5.5% at 589. 58.modified food, and you are bound to hear very strong opinions. one of the companies in that line of business went public this morning, ever gene. joining us now is the company's chairman at the new york stock exchange. sir, a lot of people are really intensely opposed to genetically-modified food and seeds, in your case. monsanto is in that line of business, it is the bogeyman around the world. what is the argument that you use when you run up against opposition like that? what do you tell them? >> well, first, i think there's an enormous amount of misunderstanding with respect to this whole area. genetic modification is a technology, and it's a technology that thousand is widely understood -- now is widely understood. the fact that we can do genetic modification, it doesn't make us special at all. anybody could set up a company to do genetic modification by hiring a few ph.d.s with training from a university. stuart: sir, are you the largest genetically-modified seed company in the wo

another topic and you talked about earnings recently, high end stores, tiffany did well and williams and sonomawe've seen recently not doing so well. what is that telling us? that's more about the american sales or what? >> i think what we're seeing there is a bar bell effect. we always knew that the consumers, the shoppers that are doing better in the economy, they weren't that worried about their jobs and while a lot of people were 2008 and 2010, when we got to 2011 and forward, show the higher net worth, consumers didn't worry that much and that's why we're seeing them do very well. the lower end, we're also seeing these lower end retailers, if you look at the dollar stores, you're seeing a little bit more, the earnings do a little better on that. woo we're talking about wal-mart and target and seeing the sales slip and you're dealing with the middle range consumer there. that means again, that customer attrition is going to stores like amazon. >> can i add, is j.c. penney coming back? they're trying. >> they're trying. >> they're trying desperately with a new ad campaign, will they make it

william sonoma tends to do pretty well around the holiday season.ers to a more affluent consumer. they've put out fliers in their store. a lot of promotions starting this week already. i think there'll be winners out there. >> so this is barry knapp. you have a 3% to 3.5% comp forecasted. how did you come up with that? and my reason for asking is what i'm generally getting feedback here is we're back to school selling season was pretty soft and that correlates strongly with holiday sales as one issue and the short selling season. generally people have fairly tepid comps. >> actually, our comp is a little bit lower. that's total sales we're talking about, 3%, 3.5%. the comps we're actually looking more like 2% to 2.5%, a little bit lower for sure. i think it's going to be a challenging season. what's interesting to me is i think we might get -- the expectations are so low right now, we might get to the end of the season and realize, hey, things weren't quite as bad as we thought and that could be the surprise. >> and i agree. i think there's a lot of

. >> williams and sonoma reported a fine quarter. >> you put costco in a higher brackett in terms ofn the parking lot. you have home depot operating well and lowes poorly. wal-mart not operating well. do i want to buy target? maybe three days from now people want to buy target. is it competitive environment? some guys not able to. so it is case by case. there are more cases that are bad which makes me feel like maybe the enterprise is strong. the consumer which is about two-thirds of the economy is not strong. the idea that we are parsing words and a release of wal-mart or target or dollar tree i would rather for those guys. things are very tough out there. >> what do you make of abercrombie? >> it is time for jeffreys to go. >> are you calling for his head officially? >> his contract is up this year. there is no reason for that man to continue to be there. i'm sure he is a nice guy. >> is that the guy with the plane? >> the guy that said the things about youth and thoughts. i'm not on his page. >> cool people, in a world of facebook and twitter you don't go there. that is like jamie
