Cramer came up with FANG — Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google, modified later to FAANG — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google. The stocks worked.<\/p>\n

Now he has a new acronym:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He choose them because all have “scaleability.” They’re big. They attract oodles of customers. They have the size to negotiate good deals with their suppliers.<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved Amazon and Home Depot. They’re in my recommended portfolio. Maybe I’ll add Costco and Target. I’m sure I should add Walmart. But I hate shopping there. And their web site — including the new Jet.com is so awful — compared with Amazon’s.<\/p>\n

I’d like them to ease back a little. Cramer’s WATCH promo has boosted them, for now.<\/p>\n

Airline tickets to Europe<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Business class tickets vary all over the place. I snagged a roundtrip NYC to Frankfurt for $2,500. But when I wanted to change the return , it would have cost me a $450 change fee plus $4,500 for the new one-way fare.<\/p>\n

What with change fees on pricey tickets and ticket prices going up and down like a wh*re’s drawers, things are getting complicated in the airline business. My biggest tips are: Buy early, snag cheap fares and negotiate with the airline directly (or American Express) for twofers.<\/p>\n

My son is salivating over this<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s called the 4WD Winnebago Revel. It’s only $130,000. The takeaway is:<\/p>\n

Winnebago has built a winner with its first real overlanding camper. The Revel is a terrific rig for two people that, with a little tweaking, could become a great overlanding camper for a small family. Coupled with the fact that you can finance an RV like this for 20 years, an average human can get one with manageable monthly payments. I’m looking for a car just like this to replace my old Eurovan, use as a remote office, and travel the highways, back roads, and beaches of North America with my small tribe. Add in those shoulder belts and I’m in.<\/p>\n

Great motivation?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles. Alaska Airlines wants me to travel 39 times around the globe to achieve their status of being a Million Mile Flyer. I did the math. I’d have to travel twice a year around the world and live to 100. Can I get that in writing, Alaska Airlines?<\/p>\n

Wimbledon tennis continues on ESPN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This column is late because I couldn’t keep my eyes off today’s Nadal\/Federer semi-final — which will be replayed tonight on The Tennis Channel.<\/p>\n

The women’s final — Serena\/Halep — starts Saturday morning at 8 Am EST. The men’s final — Federer\/Djokovic — starts at 8:00 AM (or so) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Today I hit a Federer backhand down the line. Once. He hits them all the time.<\/p>\n

Harry Newton, who has old friends like him. Their doctors tell them to do their exercises. Many don’t. Especially the men. They’re stubborn. Please do your exercises. Don’t do stupid.<\/p>\n

I won’t see granddaughter Sophie for weeks. I miss her.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why the market is going up. I don’t know why our tech stocks are going up. And I don’t know why Netflix is going down. But I think it’s a good buying opportunity. They report subscribers next week. They should be good. They and Amazon are now dominating streaming video.<\/p>\n
