Ideas
Buy stocks after Fed meetings.
Cramer says every Fed meeting will now be treated as a 'big bad event.' His playbook: don't panic into the meeting; if selling, do it 7-10 days before; if buying, buy as close to the meeting as possible and add immediately after to participate in the post-event rebound and get the best basis.
Tech leads post-Fed relief rallies.
Cramer says tech is the first sector to go to after a Fed tightening cycle; tech sold off into the meeting but led the relief rally today, and history shows tech can bounce back hard after initial rate-hike weakness.
AI labs need cybersecurity protection.
Cramer continues to recommend cybersecurity stocks and adds Okta because rogue AI agents cannot be stopped unless they are identified first. Later he argues AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic need CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Okta for a belt-and-suspenders approach: Okta for agent identity and CrowdStrike/Palo Alto to shut down rogue agents, given massive product liability risk.
Intel, Micron are supply-constrained semis.
Cramer says Intel is the best stock in show and Micron is number two because both companies have products in short supply. He also says he just bought some Micron.
Reddit is undervalued takeover candidate.
Cramer says Reddit is a $29 billion company but there are companies that would pay $40 billion for its book of business and the ability to train on its viewers and readers. His view is simply: buy Reddit.
Buy TGX weakness; it's too cheap.
Cramer says TGX is down badly from its $170 high to around $126, $123, and $120, and is too cheap because it sells at a market multiple. He advises continuing to buy and shortening the gaps between purchases.
Raise cash into market strength.
Cramer advises non-traders to raise cash into strength during the new Fed tightening cycle so they have dry powder if the market goes down hard; otherwise they should buckle up.
Still recommend Uber despite underperformance.
Cramer says Uber is the only pick from his book that has not worked, but he is not backing away and still recommends it because he thinks it is a good situation.
Snowflake AI transformation drives growth.
Cramer likes Snowflake because it has transformed from a data warehouse into an AI-powered platform where customers get insights and transform operations. He cites its accelerating revenue, Q3 guidance of 38%, AI tools like Coco and Co-work, and strong customer use cases.
Buy Casey's after oil-driven selloff.
Cramer praises a caller's decision to buy back Casey's General Stores after its conference call, saying the selloff was oil-related, the stock has almost been cut in half, and it is wise to go back in at these lower levels.
BlackBerry is a bargain.
Cramer agrees with a caller that BlackBerry is a bargain, citing its $1 billion QNX backlog, connected cars, robotics, medical radar, cybersecurity, and growing revenue streams. He says he is surprised the stock came back down and says he is with the caller.
Avoid Snap until profitable.
Cramer says he wishes he could get behind Snap, but it has been a loser and needs to show profitability before he can become more positive.
GameStop turnaround makes it a buy.
Cramer says GameStop is profitable, is trying to turn around, and is having some success, so he is willing to call the stock a buy.
Credo buyable after settling down.
Cramer says Credo has been terrible for six months but has settled at a level where you can buy. He likes its exposure to chiplets, packaging, and wiring, calling it a nuts-and-bolts semiconductor play.
Buy Iron Mountain after pullback.
Cramer says Iron Mountain has been an incredible stock, functions like a real estate investment, has a 3% yield, and is down 20 points from its high. He thinks it is a buy.
