In this piece, we will look at the stocks that Jim Cramer recently discussed.
In his latest appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer discussed President Trump’s decision to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and her lawsuit against him. Cook sued the President yesterday and claimed that he had no authority to fire her. Cramer discussed the affair as CNBC’s Steve Liesman broke the news of her lawsuit and narrated the filing. He remarked that in the end, the affair would head to the Supreme Court:
“Well look I do think it’s going to come down to the Supreme Court. I think Justice Roberts is going to have to make a decision. This is, this is not something that’s going to be settled by District Court. I wonder if the Supreme Court chooses not to take it, whether therefore she is fired.”

Because Amazon, the Journal caught them raising prices. Now I’m trying to find out whether that’s [inaudible] but he said Walmart has not. And I think Walmart is, Walmart and Costco are the two great inflation fighters now. And I think that it’s, Walmart has a couple of, there was 200 million in shoppers. So, for them to hold down prices. . . and if we had an honest CPI, then you would have to question some of the prices that are up if they shop at Walmart. Because they didn’t increase the prices.
“Well CPI is all these different element of food. And you know, I think it matters where you shop. If you shop at Walmart. . .Then you know that things didn’t go up. Look you’re eyes are not lying. So anyway I think it’s great to hear from John David Rainey that the largest chain that you buy food did not raise things. . . remember there’s a Walmart every two minutes away from you. So i salute Walmart and I think that this is terrific.”
