Cramer's Coke & Pepsi Challenge

On tonight’s MAD MONEY, Jim Cramer said that DJIA 13,000 is just a prelude to DJIA 14,000.  He even thinks you could see a 400 point to 500 point day soon.  Because there is no supply and since S&P 500 stocks are moving like small cap stocks, he is in love with the market.  Now there are buyers for any size if blocks come out for sale.  Trading desks are trying to get stock to buy and they can’t.  He thinks that people and management matter again, and sometimes a new CEO can make an immediate difference.

Cramer sees two behemoths winning from new management:  Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) are both worth buying and the strength of the CEO’s is helping to drive this.  Coca-Cola was dead money for long enough, but Neville Isdell came back and took the helm for new marketing and new brands.  That’s why it went from $38 to $61+ and Cramer said KO is not done going up because of huge growth in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.  On PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi came in and took Frito-Lay up with healthy snacks and started regrowing the unit to the point that they are maxed out on production versus demand. Cramer ended by saying Coca-Cola is headed to $60.00 and PepsiCo is headed to $75.00.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.

Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
