Cramer on tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC said he got stumped on a question about water holdings when he was at UT in Texas. He has a stock now called Pico Holdings (PICO-NASDAQ) that could be a winner. He said he will not endorse it though because it is very small and very thin. They hold water rights in Arizona.
This one actually holds other investments as well that has rallied 300% in the last few years. Its water resource and storage unit is the main one that resells water and they are not a regulated water utility; it finished a 35-mile water pipeline last year; it holds real estate and insurance as well. It priced a secondary at $37.50 earlier in the month and he thinks it can go higher, but because it is so small Cramer says it is very risky and it is only followed by 1 analyst. Cramer thinks it could be a sleeping giant or it could stay dormant for years and years, so he reminds about the risk.
PICO traded up 3% to almost $45.00 after closing up 2% at $43.61.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
