☆ Cramer says investors should accept market weakness and 'just wait' for rate cuts
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-03 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Cramer suggested that bullish investors sometimes want incompatible scenarios — weakness in the economy but not in the companies they're invested in. The weaker-than-expected Manufacturing PMI released on Monday was a big overhang on the market, with investors concerned about the strength of the economy. Cramer said these results could be a harbinger of interest rate cuts and also reminded investors that Friday's nonfarm payroll report for the month of May is vital data for the Fed. "When you read the statement for the Manufacturing PMI, it is weak, weaker than feared. "And that's ultimately what could sway the Fed — particularly if we get any sort of job weakness on Friday's numbers."

WHEN WOMEN RAN FIFTH AVENUE: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion, by Julie SatowIn 1980, Donald J. Trump made the front page of The New York Times after assaulting a pair of scantily clad women at a Fifth Avenue department store. The sculptures’ significance was allegorical as well as architectural: Department stores, though erected mostly by men, have always been feminine domains. “The Ladies’ Paradise” is the English title of Émile Zola’s 1883 novel, set at a store modeled after Le Bon Marché, still standing in Paris despite the ravages of e-commerce. Patricia Highsmith framed her 1952 lesbian romance “The Price of Salt” at the fictional Frankenberg’s, based on Bloomingdale’s. Now Julie Satow has written a group biography of the department-store doyennes who ran the show — and these places in their heyday really were a form of theater — for the male founders and owners whose names adorned the facades.

☆ Grilled Soy-Basted Chicken With Spicy Cashews, a Five-Star Reader Favorite
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-02 | by ( Sam Sifton | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Good morning. I used the book to practice and then to master (maybe?) the art of American grilling, and the confidence it gave me eventually allowed me to stray from the recipes, to adapt them and eventually to make them my own. This recipe for grilled soy-basted chicken thighs with spicy cashews (above) is one of my favorite examples, an adaptation of an appetizer dish that Schlesinger and Willoughby developed at the turn of the century. The skinless meat browns beautifully over a medium flame and a basting of gingery soy sauce and brown sugar lacquers it beautifully at the end.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday told investors what to pay attention to next week on Wall Street, highlighting the nonfarm payroll report and earnings from GitlLab and CrowdStrike . Cramer said he's waiting to see how the company will perform because some in the enterprise software sector see issues with sales. Tuesday brings quarterly results from CrowdStrike, and Cramer said this cybersecurity company has been doing better than many of its peers. Friday brings perhaps the most important event of the week, according to Cramer, the Labor Department's nonfarm payroll report. Cramer said the Federal Reserve won't be inclined to cut rates until the unemployment rate reaches 4%.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday told investors it's a good idea to buy Costco , whose earnings on Thursday beat Wall Street's expectations but the stock still slipped in extended trading. "And if Costco keeps falling, just keep buying more, because there's nothing else like this company — never will be." Cramer said he's confident about the big-box retailer's path to success and isn't worried about its recent change in management. Costco has a new CEO in Ron Vachris and a new finance chief, Gary Millerchip. Cramer added that he thinks Millerchip, who previously served as the chief financial officer of Kroger, is a solid executive.

☆ Cramer says enterprise software sector's prominence may be winding down

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday told investors that enterprise software companies may not be as lucrative as they have been over the past few years as artificial intelligence technology gains traction. CEO Marc Benioff described a "measured" buying environment across the industry after Covid, when companies had bought up large amounts of enterprise software. While Cramer said he's not writing off Salesforce, he suggested there may be too many enterprise software companies in the business, saying perhaps customers have purchased more of its products than they can actually use. Companies could be reevaluating their investment in enterprise software as they figure out how AI can change business operations, according to Cramer. He noted that some enterprise software is designed for jobs that AI could make superfluous.

☆ Cramer explains why some are skeptical of Nvidia's ballooning market cap

He suggested Nvidia could soon surpass Microsoft 's market capitalization but explained why some on Wall Street are suspicious of the artificial intelligence darling's swift journey to the top. "Somehow, to so many, it just doesn't seem right that a company they rarely interact with could be this big. If Nvidia keeps up its current growth pace, Cramer said it could soar past Apple and overtake Microsoft soon. At around $3.2 trillion, Microsoft is the biggest company on the market, followed by Apple at about $2.9 trillion and Nvidia at roughly $2.8 trillion. "And for all we know Nvidia, not Apple, not Microsoft, is Secretariat, the greatest of them all."

After Salesforce posted its first revenue miss since 2006, CEO Marc Benioff told CNBC's Jim Cramer how the market for enterprise software companies has changed since the pandemic. The reality is, you're going to have heterogeneous buying environments, it's going to happen," Benioff said. "And we're in this post-pandemic reality where the buying environment has — and we've talked about this now for a few quarters — been very measured for enterprise software companies. Benioff said that during the pandemic, companies "aggressively" bought enterprise software. "It's been a complete financial transformation," Benioff said.

Just because CNBC's Jim Cramer thinks investors should own Nvidia — not trade it — doesn't mean he thinks they should buy it right now. On Tuesday, he said he still believes in the company but explained why the stock's rally may not continue. "While Nvidia's a great company with a great stock, in the end, it's still a stock. Cramer reaffirmed his belief that Nvidia, which hit a new high Tuesday, "pretty much owns AI, and AI pretty much owns the future," saying the company has been focused on developing extremely fast chips for decades. "The buyers haven't repealed the laws of what governs a stock, even if that stock is Nvidia," he said.

☆ Jim Cramer explains why stock splits can bring gains

Using Nvidia 's announcement last week of its 10-for-1 stock split as an example, CNBC's Jim Cramer explained why such moves can give companies a boost. "In theory, stock splits, they shouldn't matter at all," he said. "But if you just look at the stock splits that've been announced … they clearly don't hurt." Cramer explained that companies usually split stock to make shares with "terrifying price tags" more available to regular investors. While Cramer stressed that stock spits don't guarantee gains, he said a company's shares often do rise after such an announcement.
