Disclaimer:
- usual disclaimer applies. Posted quickly; there will be typographical and content errors on this page.
- not investment advice.
- facts, factoids, opinions interspersed; not pointed out
- mostly comments from Cramer. Comments all paraphrased.
- not intended for readers; posted for archives for family members.
GDP: great report.
- link here.
- link here.
- CNBC.
- "considerably stronger than expected" -- incredible concerning the headwinds, the tight Fed, high interest rates, all the pundit negativity
Price cuts: the snowball is rolling downhill and gaining speed. Great news for JPow.
Ford: EVs
- InsideEVs, published last night, before earnings reported; link here.
- the EV narrative continues
Ford: top story at CNBC this morning (after the GDP story).
- will have stand-alone post later
- F plunges after 2Q24 earnings miss
- F: down 13.9% (24-hour change); now at open, down 17%;
- down 1.89
- trading at $11.78
- Quality #1: unexpected warranty losses
- I don't think I've heard more negative comments by Cramer on F first hour
- exception: one company last week, which I've now forgotten
- Cramer: "sometimes you just get had" -- with regard to his faith in Farley
- losing dollars on EVs:
- Farley says still a great report for Ford, and then asked on earnings call -- if great report, and F dropping, why isn't F announcing buybacks -- Farley's "cringe" answer -- we have better ways to deploy our capital (than buy our own stock)
In correction territory: mega-cap tech (the Magnificent 7).
The market reversal: historic! Not seen in decades.
Fed cut: chatter is now 50 basis points in September, not 25. If the Fed were to cut 50 points, it would mean economy is in deep trouble.
- Cramer: unlikely to happen; would send absolutely wrong message
NBA:
- WBD failed, will now sue the NBA
- another Amazon win.
- had long been a TNT partnership
- link here.
ServiceNow (NOW): up 7%; long interview with new CEO
- I know nothing about this company
- CEO mentioned the strong relationship with Nvidia
Southwest Airlines:
- will end 50-year history of "open seating"
- will now move to assigned seating, premium seat ($$$)
- joins the rest of the industry
- big bucks to be made
Edward Lifesciences absolutely crushed: down 25% at the open.
- their "one" product is not selling as well as they had expected
Cramer: consumers are fed up with high prices -- particularly with "French fries" -- now a metonym;
Cramer's "Mad Dash":
- IBM: up 4.5% on earnings; executed very, very well
- worst week since May
- sell in June, go away;
