Cramer's First Hour, Part 2 -- November 25, 2024

Cramer's first hour: a mix of facts, factoids, opinions from various sources -- often not cited -- while listening to Cramer's first hour on CNBC

Deportation, border security: huge opportunities for investing. I haven't seen Palantir mentioned yet, but my hunch is Palantir will be. 

DEI? Dead

Tariffs: how they changed under Trump

Value meals: link here.

From the linked WSJ article:

An estimated 81% of North American consumers have ordered a fast-food value meal in the past three months.

Around half said the promotions prompted them to eat out more often or switch chains.

But deals aren’t always translating to profit and don’t necessarily keep customers coming back, companies and analysts said, leading restaurant-chain executives to gut-check whether discounts and freebies are paying off.

Starbucks earlier this year dabbled with a coffee and breakfast item bundle starting at $5, but months later yanked it, saying the new discounts weren’t working.

I find this absolutely fascinating. Basically, every restaurant that tried value meals has ended the experiment. Except McDonald's. They still have the "$5 meal."


Whoo-hoo! Cramer just mentioned Palantir (see above). Analyst raises target to $75.

RBN Energy: Enterprises' ambitioius goal for expanding its hydrocarbon liquids exports.

Enterprise Products Partners continues to grow its export capabilities and set ambitious goals, including one noted by CEO Jim Teague during his appearance at RBN’s recent NACON: PADD 3 conference — growing liquid hydrocarbon exports by about 50% to a remarkable 100 MMbbl per month (100 MMb/month), or about 3.33 MMb/d. And that doesn’t include the company’s planned Sea Port Oil Terminal (SPOT), which could send out up to 2 MMb/d! While that goal may seem lofty, Enterprise is already a major player in export markets and has extensive hydrocarbon delivery, storage and distribution assets in place to feed its coastal terminals. In today’s RBN blog, we look at the crude oil side of Enterprise’s export machine and show why supply will be key to meeting part of that ambitious goal.
