this
setup
is
a
great
one
that's
what
i
see
right
now
and
i
want
to
get
a
jump
on
it
as
bad
money
winds
down
for
our
twentieth
year

takeovers
and
acquisitions
they're
going
to
be
an
extraordinary
force
for
the
bulls
in
twenty
twenty
six

i'm
going
to
try
to
get
the
right
theme
they
won't
necessarily
move
the
averages
in
a
visible
way
like
today
when
we
got
some
real
takeover
news
but
it
didn't
play
an
obvious
role
dow
gaining
two
hundred
twenty
eight
points
as
to
be
rising
point
six
four
percent
nasdaq
advancing

point
five
two
percent
as
the
christmas
rally
continues

but
i
want
to
really
get
into
this
because
i
i'm
so
worried
you're
gonna
leave
i
don't
want
you
to
leave
this
market
i
know
it's
high
i
know
people
say
it
is
but
there's
things
happening
there
are
mergers
and
acquisitions
that
are
really
special
to
you
some
don't
do
that
much
i
Jim Cramer (Host of Mad Money)

get
that
but
others
do
the
kind
you're
going
to
see
in
twenty
twenty
six
they're
strategic
they're
valuable
and
they're
going
to
make
you
a
lot
of
money

before
i
go
into
the
specific
deals
though
let
me
tell
you
why
these
transactions
are
so
important
to
you
and
why
you
must
stay
in
the
market
to
profit
from
it
first
the
stock
market
is
fundamentally
about
supply
and
demand
if
you
increase
the
number
of
shares
then
the
averages

may
have
trouble
advancing
periods
of
great
stock
issuance
can
lead
to
uncomfortable
moments
we've
seen
this
there
may
not
be
enough
money
coming
into
SOP
up
the
additional
supply
so
what
happens
the
market
goes
down
