☆ Jim Cramer explains why the Magnificent Seven have lasting strength in the market

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday opined on the continuous success of Big Tech stocks in the market, explaining why the Magnificent Seven, as well as Netflix , continue to rally as the bull market persists. "Even if you've missed these rebounds in the Magnificent Seven plus Netflix, don't, don't sweat the program," he said. The Magnificent Seven includes Amazon , Alphabet , Apple , Microsoft , Nvidia , Meta and Tesla , and many of these stocks have seen declines in recent months followed by strong rebounds. And despite Tesla's robotaxi flop, Cramer said it's unwise to short the stock and bet against CEO Elon Musk. "Other groups can roar, too, in this market, perhaps because there's just a lot of money going around."

As long as companies report that they're feeling good about lower interest rates, stocks should rise. That's according to Bank of America, which notes that apart from that dynamic, the bar for third-quarter earnings set by Wall Street is pretty low. The analysts expect 2% earnings growth, below consensus estimates of 4% and second-quarter earnings growth of 11%. As long as companies have managed through macro headwinds and see early signs of improvement from lower rates, stocks should get rewarded," the analysts said in a Tuesday note. The analysts recommend watching those sectors for early signs of improvement from lower rates ahead of earnings.

The tech trade lost some of its steam over the summer, and that could create opportunities for tactical trading in the fourth quarter, several investors told CNBC. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.6% during the third quarter, lagging behind both the broader S & P 500 's gain of 5.5% and the small Russell 2000's jump of 8.9%. Still, many investors are cautious of abandoning the tech trade completely even after a few bumpy months.
