Ideas
Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money 0:37
Avoid robotics, prefer Tesla
In the robotics discussion, Cramer says he will not go into robotics other than Tesla. He wants Tesla even though it has done nothing and says he has heard that complaint many times, suggesting it may be time for Tesla to do something. This is a relative avoid for Serve Robotics/other robotics and a long stance on Tesla.

John Caller 1:28
Opendoor can revive frozen homeownership
John is bullish on Opendoor because management has performance-based pay, has made million-dollar open-market purchases, and the story is not hype. He sees a real company on a mission to tilt the world back to homeownership, arguing homes have been frozen and Opendoor will melt that freeze.
Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money 1:33
Opendoor is one speculative stock allowed
Cramer endorses Opendoor as the one wild, speculative, money-losing stock an investor can own. He says he does not want to own a lot of other speculative names, but he would allow Opendoor as that single speculative bet.

Hold Fiverr; profitable but commoditized
Cramer tells a Fiverr holder to hold because the company does not lose money, but warns it is the most commoditized stock he has been asked about this week.
