Ideas
Abbott decline may be buying opportunity.
Cramer is trying to figure out whether the jarring and unusual decline in this big-cap pharma name is a buying opportunity, saying CEO Robert Ford does a good job but the level of decline is shocking.
Rotate from Micron/SanDisk to traditional tech.
Cramer says Micron and SanDisk have been 'destroyers' and 'mass kill names' that absorbed a lot of capital, with Micron now a $450B big cap, so investors should look for money coming out of them and rotating back into traditional tech; he mentions Alphabet/Google, Apple (new devices), Amazon, Meta (which has been terrible), and Microsoft (which needs to turn) as traditional tech names that need capital or catalysts.
