“West Texas now up 101% for the year. True test as we have never has a stock market go down less than 20% after a 100% rise…Treasurys not complying with bulls either”

‘‘Well, I’m a great believer in nuclear power, but that does not make me want to own any of the stocks that are involved in it right now, given the fact that it’s going to be so many years before we actually build it. So I’m gonna have to say [sell, sell, sell] Oklo.”

“Well, I know when you go there, like, you know, people are like miffed, but I’ll tell you, I don’t like the airlines. Once again, they turned out to be just as I thought. They had a big cyclical move and now they’re done. It’s time to sell Southwest Air.”

Since Cramer discussed the firm in March on Squawk on the Street, the stock is up by 37.9%. Back then, Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) was a frequent feature on Jim Cramer’s radar due to Japanese firm Nippon Steel’s attempt to acquire US steel and the broader sluggishness in the steel industry. The CNBC TV host quoted the firm’s executives multiple times to outline that Chinese steel shipping to the US via Mexico was depressing prices and hurting Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE). In February, Cramer went as far as to call a bottom on the stock and state that “they’re the big winners because Chinese steel’s not going to come in anymore.” However, in March, he advised selling Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) if the Nippon deal was approved. Since the deal’s approval on June 13th, the stock is up by 49%:

“You sell Nucor. Sell Nucor if that [if Nippon’s deal for Nucor is approved] happens. Sell it.”
