Hey, I'm Kramer.

Welcome to Mab Money. Welcome to Kramer.

Other people make friends, I'm just trying to make a little money. My job is not just to entertain

you, but to educate, to teach you. So call me at 100, 743, CNBC or tweet me at Jim Kramer. After 20 years of

bad money, tonight let me lay out my 2026 game plan for you. I want you to manage as much

of your own money as possible as I laid out in how to make money in any market, my new book

about how the market really works,

along with an index fund.

I want you to own individual stocks, not trade them, own them, and let the power of compounding do its work.

Most important, I want you to stick with those great stocks because that's where most people go wrong.

They get shaken out of their long-term winners.

I sell. Stop it. So on a day when the Dowell jumped 595 points has to be gained 0.6% and

NASDAQ climb.9%. I need to understand what makes my approach different from the conventional

wisdom. It's all rooted in the sales and trading

I did for 20 years before manned money started. I want to show you the fallacy of trading and the

greatness of owning. And today's is a terrific day to do so. First of all, we know the story of

the day, right? President Trump's overthrow of the ruler of Venezuela, President

Nicholas Maduro. There's a lot that can be done and said about the Dunroad doctrine and what it

means for American foreign policy. But as investors, come on, we want to try to make money off it.

That's why you come to the show. That's what I deliver. The thing is, even though this is a big story, it might not be a big long-term business story. And we're looking for big, long-term games. Not that short-term profits that just comes from scalping. Sure, it's exciting to play what I call the parlor game of guessing what will go up, what will move on a given day. You have Chevron with his Venezuela in interest. It's held for ages. Now, it might get more than the 100,000 barrels per day that it currently pumps from the once great Venezuela reserves. Country only pumps about 900,000 barrels a day, and most of it goes to China. Maybe that contract can be broken? Venezuela owes so much in China, as much as $50 billion.

And who knows if Maduro's replacement will honor those debts?

The U.S. refiners, especially Valero, may be a big beneficiary of that oil because they still have refineries that can handle what's known as heavy crude.
