10 Stocks On Jim Cramer’s Mind As He Gives Up On Becoming Fed Chair

In this piece, we will look at the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer asserted that he would cut interest rates if he became the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. His comments marked the end of a back-and-forth between him and co-host David Faber that lasted throughout the show. However, even though the CNBC host wanted to cut rates, in the end, he admitted that it was unlikely for him to become the Fed Chair:

“I’m gonna cut teaser rates first. That’s the one thing as a Fed Chair. But I’m gonna focus on teaser rates and then I’m going to give interviews to various people and kind of do it off the record. I like it as it is. It looks good to me. I feel like, no like Arthur Burns had that touch, I like it. Look what can I say? I’m not going to be Fed chair.”

Previously, the CNBC TV host discussed a WSJ article claiming that Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) had increased prices:

“[On WSJ piece saying they’ll keep prices low but raising them instead]Look I think that Amazon is an overall piece and I don’t know how much that includes Prime, where the prices were incredibly low. Amazon’s assured me that that story, didn’t say it’s this story exactly, but anybody who thinks that the prices are up, will take a look at Prime and think that’s not true.”
