Jim Cramer on Cleveland-Cliffs: “This May Be One That is a Little Too Weak”

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s recent game plan. Cramer started his game plan with the company and commented:

“… Game plan for the next week, chock-full of earnings reports that I believe will be much better than expected. On Monday, we hear from Cleveland-Cliffs, and we need this steel maker to tell us if the real economy’s still holding up. This may be one that is a little too weak. Remember, there are three economies: the data center economy, the speculative economy where I see lots of insider selling coming and the real economy, which is heavily dependent on the Fed cutting rates. Let’s see what Cliffs has to say.”
