Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, on Tuesday said that anyone buying artificial intelligence-related stocks has to go in with real conviction.
“You should never buy anything if you don’t trust enough to buy more on weakness. Trust is how you benefit from stocks these days… You’re not going to catch these gains if you don’t trust. That said, if you go to own tech, you need to know the landscape.”

Cramer pointed to the Magnificent Seven, as he said that investors need to remember these companies did not reach this level by missing quarters or by stumbling operationally. He noted that these firms did not climb to such high valuations by being fooled by competitors or being dropped as vendors because a partner saw them as second-rate. He noted that he repeatedly returns to the Magnificent Seven and said:
“These stocks are prominent because of their success. The companies they represent have bountiful profits, which is why they could rise to their lofty trillionaire status in the first place. It’s why I don’t kick them out when they’re down. And [as a] matter of fact, it’s why I might buy them for the trust. I’ll admit that they have a bit of the Houdini in them.”

16 Stocks Jim Cramer Recently Talked About
16. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 121
Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Noting that the stock is trading near its 52-week low, a caller sought Cramer’s opinion on CRM. Here’s what he had to say in response:
“Okay, I think that the disaster is now priced in, whatever disaster there might be. And I’m not going to abandon Salesforce down here at $230. The haters will be haters, but I think it’s fine.”
Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) provides CRM-focused tools that help businesses manage customer interactions, use AI agents, analyze data, collaborate, and run marketing, commerce, and field service operations. During the October 17 episode, Cramer showed positive sentiment toward the stock’s long-term price movement, as he commented:
“Still for me, the mere announcement of this ambitious revenue target felt like a turning point for Salesforce. As an extremely frustrated long-term shareholder in this one, it was very encouraging to finally get a break from what’s felt like a constant drumbeat of negativity this year, at least from the analysts. Bottom line: After spending the week in San Francisco, much of that time at Dreamforce, I’m feeling a lot more sanguine about Salesforce’s stock than I was last Friday.
That said, if you want to own Salesforce, you need to have faith in Marc Benioff’s ability to deliver on the long-term targets. Given his track record, his long-term track record, call me a believer, which is why we still own this one for the Charitable Trust. At the same time, patience is needed. Even though Salesforce’s new long-term guidance was positive, the enterprise software group is so hated, I don’t know if anyone on Wall Street will even care, at least for the moment.
I don’t know if the stock can snap back anytime soon. I’m simply betting that it’ll be a winner over the next 12 to 18 months, which means you can’t afford to trade in and out of it because when you do that, there’s a very good chance that you’re out of it when we get the eventual gains.”
15. IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:IESC)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 24

“I gotta tell you, there is a stock I want to own. Jeffrey Gendell is the CEO. He is one of the best in the business. I really like him as a person, too. I think that stock’s a buy, and you are so smart to bring it to our viewers. I really appreciate it.”
IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:IESC) provides electrical, technology, and infrastructure services across residential, commercial, and industrial projects. The company covers everything from communications systems and HVAC work to motor repair, power distribution products, and renewable-energy installations. During the lightning round of September 15 episode, a caller inquired about the stock and Cramer responded:
“I know that electrical contractor, that again, is going higher because it is data center. Do you see the pattern, everybody?”
