If you want to invest in individual stocks, you have to be ready to do your homework, CNBC's Jim Cramer said on his show Thursday.
Pops, Pops, like many people, had no idea what to do besides asking his brother to fetch another tip from his friend, Cramer said.
Cramer took a stroll down memory lane to reflect on the history of and how it has evolved over the past dozen-plus years.

The RN workforce is expected to grow from 2. Enter AMN Healthcare, a healthcare workforce and staffing solutions company with an emphasis on the nursing industry. As the nursing shortage pain point has intensified over the last several years, AMN shares have peaked at more than 21x earnings and bottomed out at an average P/E multiple at 14x. Applying these historic multiples implies upside from current levels to $72, with downside risk to $48. With more Baby Boomers turning 70 years old every day, odds are those historic PE multiples, particularly to the downside, will move higher in the coming years as the severity of the nursing and aging pain point is more fully recognized.
Costco shares pulled back hard in December following the company's most recent quarterly earnings report.
That pressure reflected rising merchandizing costs, due in part to U.S.-China tariffs, as well as increasing preopening expenses. Underneath the report, the key metrics of traffic, membership renewals and membership growth all continued to be favorable. As Costco targets another 20-23 warehouse locations, which will drive high-margin membership fee income over the coming quarters, Costco remains a best-in-class retailer for the increasingly debt-laden consumer that is poised to deliver almost 20% EPS growth over the coming 24 months.
Nokia share shrugged off the market's December pullback as mobile operators are spending to launch commercial 5G mobile networks beginning this year and spanning the next several. This is driving a pick-up in the company's cyclical mobile infrastructure business that should bring favorable operating leverage to the bottom line as well. Given the nature of 5G mobile technology that is slated to connect a wide array of devices, including autonomous cars, the internet of things as well as the connected home and other car applications, it expands the addressable market for Nokia's high margin licensing business.
Skyworks is an RF semiconductor company that has benefitting from both increasing dollar content per device as 3G and 4G technologies were deployed and a widening number of connected devices. That is set to repeat itself as the number of switches and RF bands associated with 5G grow to 70 and 30 from 40 and 15, respectively, with 4G mobile technology. As the number of 5G network deployments grow around the globe, so too will the number of 5G handsets. Paired with greater dollar content per 5G device, that's a powerful combination for Skyworks' top and bottom line. Much like Nokia, Skyworks will see the addressable market for its RF solutions grow from primarily smartphones, tablets and wearables to include autonomous vehicles, connected home and connected car as well as internet of things.

Universal Display is one of the pure play companies behind the next transition in display technology to organic light emitting diode displays from liquid crystal displays. One of the key attractions of OLED technology is emissive when powered, which both saves battery life and allows for a thinner display format. The notion that Apple isn't the only driver of OLED demand is very true given other smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi, are introducing new models that feature OLED displays, while new TV models incorporating the technology are also hitting shelves later this year. Longer-term, OLED technology is poised to follow the roadmap laid out by light emitting diode (LEDs) technology that moved from mobile phones into automotive, specialty lighting and ultimately general illumination replacing traditional lighting and LEDs along the way. What this means is an expanding array of applications that will grow Universal's addressable market for the IP business while increasing demand for its chemical business. A very nice push-pull that drives revenue and profit growth over the coming 12-24 months.

Sports are big business. In fact, some estimates place the size of the global sports industry as high as $1.3 trillion. Companies that cater to this massive market -- and the billions of sports fans worldwide -- stand to earn a fortune.
The challenge, of course, is identifying the best investments within this enormous market. These are the businesses that can successfully adapt to constantly changing industry trends -- and whose stocks currently trade for bargain prices.
Yet you might not know that The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) owns 80% of the sports entertainment powerhouse. As such, Disney's stock gives investors an intriguing way to profit from the global popularity of sports.
Fears regarding cord-cutting have weighed on Disney's shares for quite some time. So, the trend of people canceling their cable subscriptions in favor of cheaper streaming options is understandably concerning for Disney shareholders. And with recent subscriber figures suggesting that cord-cutting may be accelerating, even the staunchest of Disney bulls should be sure to factor this threat into their analysis of the stock.
However, I'd argue that much of this risk is already factored into Disney's stock price. Over the past five years, Disney's price-to-earnings ratio has declined by 35%. Said differently, Disney's stock is now significantly cheaper per dollar of earnings than it was five years ago.
In turn, with its shares now trading for about only about 15 times analysts' earnings estimates for the year ahead, Disney's stock is quite a bargain at current prices.
Moreover, Disney is taking action to mitigate its cord-cutting-related subscriber losses at ESPN. For only $4.99 per month, ESPN+ gives subscribers access to a host of live sporting events that will not be aired on ESPN's cable networks. It also includes an on-demand library of ESPN's documentaries and exclusive content, such as the critically acclaimed show Detail, hosted by NBA and NFL legends Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning.
ESPN+ is off to a fast start. Disney CEO Bob Iger said during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call.
ESPN+ is geared toward sports fans who want even more content than is currently found on ESPN's cable networks -- not as a replacement for ESPN's existing programming. But to Iger's point, the service's early success could also help to alleviate investors' fears regarding Disney's ability to transition its core ESPN properties to a DTC streaming model in the future. That could go a long way toward enticing investors to once again pay a higher price-to-earnings multiple for Disney's stock. And that -- combined with a host of other growth catalysts -- could send Disney's shares soaring in the year ahead.

A harsh December capped a hard fourth quarter for stocks. Many good companies have been knocked down, some to bargain levels.
The Casualty List has a profitable track record. This is the 63rd one. One-year returns can be calculated for 59 of them, and have averaged 19.01%. That compares to an average of 9. Figures are total returns including dividends.
If the goal is to buy low and sell high, it’s logical to look at stocks that have been whacked. Here are four new ones.
Right now, investors loathe the memory-chip maker, fearing that chipmakers are entering a down cycle. The stock--down 30% last quarter--sits at about $36, compared to about $57 last May.
Suppose it’s even worse than analysts project, and earnings fall to $5 a share. The current stock price is only seven times that figure. Looks like a bargain to me.
The public knows Systemax (SYX) mainly as a retailer of personal computers, computer accessories and mobile phone gear. It sells by catalogue, the internet and retail stores. The majority of its revenue, however, comes from selling industrial equipment, including materials-handling machines.
Down 27% last quarter, Systemax is barely followed on Wall Street. Only two analysts follow it; both call it a “buy.”
Down 44% last quarter was Live Oak Bancshares (LOB), which is based in Wilmington, North Carolina. It specializes in lending to small businesses such as veterinarians, pharmacies and funeral homes.
This bank looks good on net interest margin (the spread between the rate it pays on deposits and the rate it gets on loans). Its return on assets is also high.
Like Systemax, Live Oak is little covered by Wall Street or the financial press. The current stock price, near $16, is a dollar below the initial offering price.

This engineering and construction firm gets a large chunk of its revenue from Saudi Arabia. As many people believe that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was complicit in the murder of a U.S.-based journalist, investors are highly concerned.
