International Paper : "What a tough business. My dad sold craft paper for a living. I got to tell you, I see and feel the pain of the people with IP, because they do a great job, but I've decided I can't recommend that stock because I couldn't take it when my father would come home at night and have that glass of Wild Turkey and go into his bedroom and say, 'I didn't sell a lot of craft paper today.'"

You buy down in scale, I don't want you to buy it all at once because the stock's had too big a move. But you're right, it is a good company, and it can be bought."

C3.AI : "I like Tom Siebel very much, but I was regretting that I didn't put this in the top of yesterday's shoe because it is so heavily shorted, it is a short squeeze at this point, it is not making any money, and I don't recommend companies that are not making money on Mad Money."
