Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's CMBC Investing Club Morning Meeting. We've got a benign bomb market and we've got a lot of stocks doing what we thought they would do because we are in a position where if your company is incrementally better, the stock is going to go up. And if your company is incrementally worse, your stocks can get clobbered. And that's the story of Stanley Black and Tiger vs. Proctor Gable. Yeah, I think that's a preferred explanation. Maybe that start with Stanley Black and Decker. You can see shares hitting what I believe is a two year high off of a very nice earnings B. But we're talking 1% organic growth. Now they haven't been seeing growth so that does matter in the quarter. They raise their full year guide, raise a free cash flow guide buying back, paying down a lot of debt, supporting a nice big dividend yield. But again, it's this notion that they are seeing sequential margin improvement from all the costs take out the inventory reduction. That's what Fortune Brands Innovations did the same thing. The end markets weren't good. But now people are saying the end markets will be taken care of by the Fed. So you've got people going to get a jump on the end markets and that's what you're seeing right here with a company that frankly we picked because of this. We sat over and over again. Don't let you write down here. Look, it's a raid play. There's nothing we can do. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. I think that's a thesis. I know the CEO, you had them all and shortly after the last quarter and you kind of gave this concept the stock could be spring loaded once the Fed starts cutting rates. We're going to have a Fed meeting tomorrow. They're not going to cut rates, I don't think, but maybe setting that up for the next meeting. And you can see stocks like to anticipate things, right? And that's what's played out over the last couple of weeks. The stock's going from below 80 to 104. Well, at this point it was most horrible. It was very difficult to buy. We discussed it ad nauseous and we realized, you know what, if we don't do it now, we're never going to do it. And bingo, that's what happened.
