Jim Cramer Nailed These 11 Stock Predictions

During the most recent Mad Money episode, which aired on Monday, the 19^th of May, Cramer discussed Moody’s downgrade of U.S. debt, saying:

“Stories like the US debt downgrade story from Friday, they are classic… Stories that scare people out of very fine stocks that could otherwise make them rich. And sure enough, when Moody’s downgraded the debt of the United States on Friday, the last of the three big rating agencies to do so, the market opened hideously as the get out now crowd took action. They fled. Then the market rebounded.”

Cramer then warned to not let the media affect investors’ decisions too much. He believes that many fear-driven stories will emerge and but he still encourages his viewers to stay the course:

“Let me give you the bottom line: The crucial thing that we in the media can do, and I say this as someone who talks to more individual veterans than almost anyone in the universe, and certainly more than anyone in the media, is simply cool it with the fear mongering and cut off guests who advocate it. A little history and some constructive thought would go a lot further if your goal is not to inflame, but to inform.”

Back in 2024, on May 15, a caller asked about monday.com Ltd. (NASDAQ:MNDY), curious about its potential and options activity. Cramer saw the company as a strong junior version of Salesforce.

“I know a lot of people feel that it’s going to get a takeover bid — I can’t acknowledge anything, I don’t know anything about a takeover bid. I do know this: my Monday is a very good Salesforce.com — mini Salesforce.com. You could call it maybe a junior Salesforce.com is the way to put it. And they’re very smart people. I would not bet against them.”

The stock outperformed as Cramer predicted, gaining 28.34% and showing solid execution in its category. monday.com Ltd. (NASDAQ:MNDY) is gaining traction as a fast-moving project management platform with strong enterprise appeal.
