but, you know, as mike said -- as mike laid out, those are the changes for a retail investor. the other thing is if you had 25 shares of apple or 20 shares of tesla, you now will have 100 shares after the stock split which means now you can sell a covered call on those names that you couldn't do before because each of those calls represents 100 shares those are some of the things on retail but the big story, i think, is apple. apple is the number one name in the dow. you're going to see some rebalancing flows here to sell apple for portfolio managers trying to rebalance to the index. >> it's like virtual learning and i'm the one doing the learning carter worth, let's go around the world. top it off >> the history of stock splits is because the sell side wants to be able to share more shares. commissions are based on number of shares traded warren buffett never split his stock for that very reason since new york stock exchange began, average price of stocks are about $40. once they go up, double, triple, they split it. that is why stocks are split >> really good lesson there on

mike. mike, listen to me. mike, listen to me. you were in alabama and you saw racism that you never saw before. i guarantee you it's racism that don and i, and our family members, have experienced and seen before. in fact, at the beginning of this segment when you started talking about the wokeness at a convention. wokeness is consciousness, my friend. it is about the understanding of freedom that would release us from oppression. the very type of oppression that protestors are on the street, trying to ensure they're heard about. so when you talk about a wokeness convention, that is an implicit form of bias, and it's racist. so i am telling you that you should be careful with your rhetoric. you lying on black lives matter, mike, is a form of racism. >> visit their website. don't take my word for it. go to their website. >> it's problematic. >> okay. okay. so, black lives matter, as has been said, over and over, mike. for people, especially those who don't want to make some sort of political point, it basically means black lives m

senior advisor to mike pompeo joins me to react which is mike pompeo correct? is the usa for because of donald trump? >> i actually agree because the president has delivered on key objectives that he outlined in the 2016 campaign long before he had foreign-policy advisors and the secretary of state and put it together in a way that we haven't nato alliance despite the difficulties we had with our european partners and those -- it continues to exist. we have a growing kind of euro of nato communities, gold states that partnered with the united states and israel against the terrorist supporting regime in tehran. when you look around the globe the united states has a set of regional partnerships that were in their infancy or didn't exist at all when donald trump became president. i think a lot of the credit for the various foreign-policy items mike pompeo mentioned should be given to donald trump himself. i was struck by the fact that most of them originated in the white house not the state department, not the defense department. rob: there's a ton of pushback fro

mike, your take? >> first of all, i love home depot as a company obviously we have greater transparency now that they've already report earnings. i think that's a plus. the trade structure he's talking about makes a lot of sense when you consider that right now options premiums are about 50% higher than where they were at the beginning of the year. of course we would expect that given everything we've seen. but the interesting back story here is that home depot shares actually are not as volatile as the options market is implying that suggests that they're slightly overpriced. that's when you want to do things like sell credit spreads like he's doing here obviously the math works nicely, collecting 40% of the distance of the strikes or there abouts because that catalyst has already come and gone, we're not really expecting something that could move the stock sharply against you in this case. >> carter? >> home builders this year for the first time got above their housing bubble peak in '05. we just cl

i think it's going to 200. >> mike, what's the trade? >> deere is an interesting trade. this is one that saw a lot of analysts downgrades. de the tractor fleet is aging rates are relatively low if you start to see a bid for commodity prices, that's usually supportive for tractor purchases in the ag space. combine that with the fact they just recently reinstituted guidance perhaps the analysts are trailing this. that's borne out by the fact that the analyst price target is 1 170. it closed above 183 today. they're going to report earnings on august 21st i think what we want to do is try to sell that elevated option stream we think it's poised to break out but of course the markets are trading very close to all-time highs here. sell the august 195 calls against the spread net-net i'm spending $5.65, a little over 3% of the current stock price. the idea is to collect some of the decay in the near dated options. if it does not go above that 195 price, you have an opportunity to roll into a vertical spread as well. we're trying not to reach out and buy stocks trading close to

mike, how are you playing this now? >> putting this trade on we collected about $1 i would close the 235 puts and roll the 260 calls up to 270 net-net i'm going to collect about another $8 which means i'm going to have collected about a total of $9 on this trade andly still own the 270-280 stock spread i still have an opportunity to profit even further. >> carter? >> tesla touched 2100 today. take measures. >> tony? >> i see a seismic shift in consumer spending habits toward home improvement sell the put credit spread here on home depot. >> mike? >> sell credit spreads in tesla. >> really educational and informative with ♪ ♪ >>> good evening i'm frank holland. don't worry, jim cramer and "mad money" are back on monday. invest your time and it will pay off. i want to start with the pandemic that changed every corner of the american economy that includes investoriinvestink market traders pouring in and they have lots of choices and a lot of information at the tip of their fingers. this is not your

mike, mike, mike, i need you to react to what you saw and heard tonight and be honest. >> well, i think president trump did a very good job of getting the fidel castro award for long oratory. that is a hard to achieve thing. i think seriously if you're a trump supporter, you got a convention you liked. you got a lot of new arguments you can go argue with people about. so trump, you know, and pence and the rest of them strengthened the votes they already have. the problem is the president's behind, and he didn't do much in this convention, i think, to get the votes he needs that don't like him. and so they did -- they did scuff up biden pretty well. i think the polls will tighten a little bit. but democrats shouldn't panic. fundamentally i don't think trump really moved the ball forward, particularly as long as joe biden watches his flank on this culture war stuff about cops and looters. that's where he could have a vulnerability, and the republicans are setting up the ball. but all in all it was a base convention, and trump needs a lot more than that to win. >> james carville, you're ne

a word about mike pence. pence has never as chris pointed out broken with the president in any public respect. i rather suspect if you want to have influence with donald trump and be in the inner circle, you can't do that. some day i would love to read mike pence's memoirs about what went on in meetings and discussions when decisions were being made and he might have disagreed with the president and what he said. because, you know, as chris pointed out, they're very different men. it will be interesting to hear what he has to say tonight as well. >> martha: we're getting ready to go to lara trump. they're in the end of the video here at fort mchenry. here's lara trump. >> good evening. daughter daughter, mother, sister and the daughter-in-law of our 45th president, donald j. trump. tonight i come to you simply as an american. my life began like many our country, i grew up in wrightsville beach, north carolina. my parents were small business owners and worked hard to make sure my brother and i had everything w

and mike, thank you for inviting me to be a part of thisdiscussion . it's unfortunate circumstances of course that made it even more so in terms of its timeliness . i have to say is a native houstonian and houston is also home to george floyd. it has been a very difficult to multiple, emotional time for so many people but it also has been a time i believe that there is optimism and for many of us who have felt as though this course has not been taking place and not been made available and widespread on the issue of racial injustice so to have people pick up the phone and call me and say what can i do work i'm sorry i did not know. what are other ways i can educate myself. those kinds of conversations are not conversations we were having three months ago. those conversations were not conversations i remember when charlottesville happened because i was a city council member at a time and i remember when we had people start coming to city council meetings and we wanted this statue gone, that statute gone etc. and harvey struck and i say that to say we are

i watched mike pence tonight. and there are some things he didn't say, and some things that he said that remind us who the heck this party is. they talk so much about freedom, so much about protecting the people who ultimately are the vigilantes. he said nothing at all about justice, about civil rights, about safeguarding innocent americans being gunned down by police. he clearly is reflecting the party who does not care about the average person who is harmed by the state. other things that mike pence said tonight that -- i don't know why i'm shocked by this administration continually. he reminded us that he passed a bill in indiana that allowed people to bypass the fda and try experimental drugs. he wants to feed the corporations, and bragged about passing a law that said you don't have to deal with the fda guidelines. this administration has constantly pushed hat after hat after hat that hasn't actually helped anyone to profiteer and help their cronies. and he talked about liberalism, in a way that he doesn't de
