STOCKS Speculative single-digit stocks XBI SPY actively managed mutual funds
Young investors should favor stocks over bonds.
Younger investors should be almost entirely in stocks and avoid bonds until at least their mid-50s, because over the last 40 years stocks have been the right way to grow wealth and young people have decades to ride through down markets.
STOCKS LONG
Young investors can take more risk.
Investors in their 20s can afford to take much more risk, including speculative single-digit stocks and tiny biotech companies, because if they lose money they have decades in the workforce to earn it back; older investors need more caution.
Speculative single-digit stocks LONG XBI LONG
Use low-cost S&P 500 index funds.
A low-cost S&P 500 index fund is the best passive core holding for most investors, especially inside restricted 401k plans, because it has ultra-low fees and lets participants capture broad market performance without picking individual stocks.
SPY LONG
Avoid actively managed mutual funds.
Actively managed mutual funds are a bad deal for most investors because managers are paid based on assets under management rather than performance, most underperform their benchmarks, and high fees eat any outperformance.
actively managed mutual funds AVOID
Avoid sector ETFs for stock pickers.
Individual investors should avoid sector-based mutual funds and ETFs because a diversified fund should already provide adequate exposure, and if an investor is going to take the time to play sectors, they are better off picking individual stocks.
Sector ETFs AVOID
Most ETFs are for trading, not investing.
Most ETFs should be treated as trading vehicles rather than long-term investments because many rebalance daily, which can erode long-term performance and cause losses even when the investor is right; the main exceptions are GLD and S&P 500 ETFs.
ETFs AVOID
GLD is simple gold exposure.
GLD is an ETF he likes as a simple way to play gold, making it one of the few ETF exceptions he endorses for investors.
GLD LONG
Prefer Eli Lilly over Bristol-Myers.
Investors should trim dominant winners such as Eli Lilly and Apple so a portfolio does not become overly concentrated in one company; even the best companies were hit in the 2022 pullback, so reducing position size manages risk.

Prefer Eli Lilly over Bristol-Myers.
Cramer prefers Eli Lilly over Bristol-Myers because Lilly's growth rate makes him less worried about its price/earnings ratio, implying the growth justifies the valuation.

Rate hikes delayed until after midterms.
The August jobs report was non-inflationary and gives the Fed room to hike, but the September FOMC is politically constrained by the midterm elections and Trump's tariff threats.

Fed Funds Rate US Long Bond (30-Year Treasury Yield)
Fed should hold rates, not hike/cut.
The August jobs report overstates labor market strength; underlying monthly job growth is only about 50k and wage growth is slowing. With core CPI expected to come in soft around 0.1-0.2% month-over-month and 2.3-2.4% year-over-year, and inflation expectations anchored, Zandi argues the Fed should not raise or cut rates. He says the Fed should hold the line, wait for the CPI report, and see how the data plays out.
Fed Funds Rate WATCH
Rate cuts would spike long-term yields.
Zandi says he is perplexed by calls for rate cuts because cutting rates would be counterproductive: inflation expectations would rise and long-term interest rates would rise, with the long bond potentially moving well above 5% and 30-year fixed rates also moving higher.

UGA 1ST Diesel-crude spread CRAK 1ST

Record U.S. diesel prices are supported by tight supply: Russia is extending its diesel export ban, product tanker transits through Hormuz haven't picked up significantly, and U.S. distillate production is about 127,000 barrels per day below 2025 due to lighter/sweeter crudes. Diesel demand is also inelastic into harvest season because farmers must run equipment, so demand destruction is limited and prices could stay higher.

Fervo Energy Enhanced geothermal energy
Fervo Energy stock underappreciated, real projects
Fervo Energy is underappreciated after its post-IPO decline because it has real operating projects, a newly announced 400 MW Google PPA, advanced offtake negotiations with hyperscalers and utilities, diversified customers, and long-term contracted revenues with no fuel-price volatility. Its proprietary drilling and power-plant technology create a competitive moat, and standardization of 50 MW blocks and well designs is expected to cut capital costs below $3,000 per kilowatt, eventually making Fervo's geothermal power cost-competitive without production tax credits after the 2030s. Latimer argues Wall Street is missing how real Fervo's growth and binding offtake are.
Fervo Energy LONG
Enhanced geothermal is booming and cost-competitive
Enhanced geothermal is in a once-in-a-generation boom because it provides 24/7 carbon-free, fuel-independent electricity that hyperscalers, utilities and industrial customers increasingly need. Fervo's adaptation of horizontal drilling and its standardized, repeatable development model are putting geothermal on a learning curve similar to shale, solar and batteries, which Latimer argues can make geothermal one of the cheapest electricity sources on the planet and now attracts oil and gas companies into the sector.

Nvidia's Hugging Face deal scales open AI
Cramer applauds Nvidia buying Hugging Face because the US needs its own open-model ecosystem to blunt Chinese progress; he says the deal is asymmetric because AMD or Broadcom buying Hugging Face would have been sold off, and Nvidia avoiding a lost bidding war preserves its perceived edge in open AI.

LeBron signing boosts Sixers franchise value.
Josh Harris says LeBron James chose Philadelphia because he thought he could win and spend the final chapter of his career there; the signing immediately energized the city, sold out tickets, and opened sponsorship opportunities, strengthening the 76ers franchise.
Philadelphia 76ers LONG
Stadium-anchored real estate creates long-term value.
Harris believes sports-anchored real estate is a major value driver: he is making the largest private investment in Washington with a $4 billion stadium development and over the next decade building thousands of housing units, hotels, restaurants, and similar mixed-use development in Philadelphia with Comcast.
Stadium-anchored real estate development LONG
Lakers worth every bit of $12.5 billion.
Harris argues the Lakers at $12.5 billion are not an overpay because the franchise went from about $10 billion 14 months ago to $12.5 billion now, roughly 25% growth in line with sports franchise appreciation, and the Lakers are one of the existential NBA franchises in the biggest media market with scarcity value.
Los Angeles Lakers LONG
Private equity increasingly lifts sports values.
Harris highlights private equity's influx into minority sports team stakes as a new source of demand and liquidity, reducing illiquidity and letting investors participate, which supports continued growth in sports franchise values.
Private equity minority sports investments LONG
Youth sports demand exceeds supply.
Harris sees youth sports as a growth industry because demand for tournaments exceeds supply; his group provides tournaments, coaching, better food and lodging, and inclusive access, creating both social value and economic value.
Youth sports events and tournaments LONG
Sports franchise values are not a bubble.
Harris does not see a bubble in sports team valuations; he points to expected revenue and cash-flow growth, scarcity value similar to art or beachfront real estate, very low required cap rates, and strong demand from buyers.

Commanders at $6 billion looks attractive.
Harris says the Commanders purchase at $6 billion, which was criticized as the highest price ever, now looks like an attractive deal as NFL team valuations have climbed above $10-12 billion and he expects values to keep going.

The $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face gives Nvidia a strategically important open-model platform with 200,000 enterprise customers, 18 million developers, and 3 million models across AI fields; Jensen says the price is what it is worth, open models are a large growth driver of Nvidia, and scaling the open community faster will be great for Nvidia.

Equities 10-Year Treasury Yield TIP 1ST GLD 1ST
Fed tolerance supports continued equity rally.
The Fed is willing to tolerate inflation at current levels and is unlikely to tighten aggressively; in this inflation-overshoot regime, one or two more rate hikes over the next 12 months do not change the regime and give equity investors a green light to expect a continued rally and continued strong earnings growth.
Equities LONG
Higher bond yields may signal stronger growth.
The bond market selloff is getting a lot of attention, but the 10-year Treasury yield is only up five basis points since early August; higher bond yields could reflect stronger near-term growth or AI productivity showing up in the data, meaning the economy can handle higher rates.
10-Year Treasury Yield WATCH
Add inflation protection and real assets.
In an inflation-overshoot regime with likely elevated bond market volatility, investors should balance core fixed income exposure with inflation protection and real assets to protect against inflation.

BOJ hawkish hike supports stronger yen
The Bank of Japan is lining up a rate increase on September 18 and will need to talk hawkishly about continued hikes because its overnight rate is only 1% while inflation is running at 2%. The 160 level in dollar-yen has been a line in the sand, and intervention is likely, supporting a stronger yen and dollar weakness against the yen.
FXY LONG
Long-term Treasury yields remain in uptrend
Even if a hawkish BOJ can temporarily calm global long-term rates, the trend in U.S. and European long-term interest rates is still higher because of debts and deficits, competition for capital, and persistent inflation. He watches the 10-year Treasury yield rather than only the Fed because the yield curve is setting the price of money.

WTI crude oil trend remains higher

PG&E value unlocks if wildfire reform passes
PG&E has already done the operational turnaround—reducing wildfire risk, lowering rates five times in two years, and improving reliability 30%—but the stock is held back by a fixable wildfire liability tail risk that raises debt costs and deters investors. A targeted legislative fix would allow PG&E to reach investment grade, restore the $2 billion capex cut, grow earnings 9%+ annually, continue dividend growth, and unlock value.

Low-P/E stocks High-P/E technology stocks DELL MDB NOW FLIP
Cheap low-P/E stocks beat expensive high-P/E stocks.
With the 30-year Treasury yielding 5.26% and limited new money entering stocks, big money managers are selling expensive high-P/E stocks as too risky and crowding into cheap low-P/E stocks; this explains the downside in high-growth technology, not a broken AI/data-center/momentum trade.
Low-P/E stocks LONG High-P/E technology stocks SHORT
Dell is a cheap AI data-center winner.
Dell reported a great quarter, the stock trades below 20x earnings, and after the quarter Cramer says it could earn $25 per share; buyers are not fleeing the data center or tech broadly, they are fleeing high multiple tech, making Dell a low-multiple AI/data center winner and still a terrific stock to own even up 16%.
DELL LONG
MongoDB is too expensive; sell it.
MongoDB trades at almost 58x earnings and plunged 13.5% after a decent but not perfect quarter because it is too rich in a market where bond yields make expensive stocks too risky; Cramer says too rich equals sell.
MDB SHORT
ServiceNow is expensive versus Nvidia; avoid.
ServiceNow trades at 33.6x current earnings and 27x next-year earnings, much more expensive than Nvidia at 24x and 14x; in a rising-yield rotation out of high-multiple stocks, ServiceNow is unattractive relative to cheaper growth.
NOW AVOID
Corning likely falls more before re-entry.
Cramer sold Corning for the charitable trust to avoid turning a gain into a loss because Corning is a high-P/E stock vulnerable to the current multiple compression; he expects it to come down more before he gets back in, making it a near-term avoid and a watch for a lower re-entry.
GLW AVOID
Oracle can fall on data-center constraints.
Oracle's stock is hostage to data-center buildout loan/permit concerns; if anything indicates Oracle cannot build as many data centers as expected, the stock goes lower. Cramer prefers Nvidia and says Dell is still terrific, so Oracle is avoid.
ORCL AVOID
PG&E setup hinges on California liability reform.
PG&E has already reduced wildfire risk dramatically, lowered rates, improved reliability and has a pathway to investment grade, but the stock fell about 20% after California wildfire liability reform collapsed. A simple legislative fix or special session could unlock capital, restore $2B of capex, support 9%+ EPS growth and dividend growth; until that happens the stock is a legislative event-driven watch.
PCG WATCH
Cyber stocks are on sale; buy them.
CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Rubrik have been trading down despite excellent quarters because investors are rotating out of software/security; Cramer says these cybersecurity stocks are being put on sale and the decline is an opportunity to buy.

MP Materials is best play but slow.
MP Materials is the single best, most investable play on critical materials, which the US needs, but Cramer does not expect anything to happen soon and says the timeline has been long, making it a watch rather than a near-term catalyst trade.

AeroVironment: too much defense competition, avoid.
Even though AeroVironment's stock is down sharply, Cramer says defense niche competition is so strong that he would not buy yet: 'not yet, not now'.
AVAV AVOID
Howmet remains best aerospace play; buy/hold.
Elon Musk's announcement that SpaceX will cast its own natural gas turbine blades hurt Howmet Aerospace, but Cramer believes it is unlikely to inflict lasting damage; Howmet is one of the best companies out there and the best way to play aerospace, so he says hold or buy.
HWM LONG
Cyber stocks are on sale; buy them.
Rubrik delivered its 10th consecutive quarter of outperformance with beats on topline, profitability and cash flow; demand is driven by AI-era cyber resilience and agentic security, and Rubrik's data infrastructure model is winning larger deals, supporting the stock after its post-earnings drop.

Nvidia is cheap despite growth and fears.
Nvidia trades at 24x current earnings and about 14x next year's earnings despite phenomenal growth; Cramer vehemently disagrees with circular-financing bear arguments and says Nvidia's customers are making fortunes from its chips, so he prefers sticking with Nvidia.

CVS is a buy-and-own healthcare stock.
CVS under CEO David Joyner has raised guidance, trades at a discount valuation with a 3% dividend and 25% upside, and Cramer says investors should own it rather than trade it; he wants to buy it for the charitable trust.
CVS LONG
Cardinal Health is a cheap healthcare winner.
Cardinal Health is a high-quality healthcare distributor seeing rotation inflows away from expensive tech; it has been shifting to specialty pharma, generics, and higher-margin businesses, revenue misses stem from drug pricing while its fee-for-service volume model still works, and FY27 guidance implies 13-15% earnings growth at less than 20x earnings, a cheap safe haven.
