We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Is Talking About These 10 Stocks Heading Into December. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Enbridge Inc (NYSE:ENB) stands against other stocks Jim Cramer is talking about as heading into December.
Jim Cramer in a recent program talked about President-elect Donald Trump’s Treasury pick and highlighted his enthusiasm for the stock market.
“On the other hand, President Trump was all about Nielsen ratings when he was on The Apprentice, and as president, he repeatedly said, The Dow Jones Industrial Average all-time high, and the S&P 500 were his new Nielsen ratings. He likes being rated, he likes to win, and he wants that stock market to go up to ratify his performance. That’s a big reason why the market exploded higher when he won.”
Cramer also discussed Trump’s Treasury pick Scott Bessent’s possible 3-3-3 plan that calls for bringing the budget deficit down to 3% of GDP, 3% growth and producing 3 million barrels of oil per day.
Jim Cramer said he is skeptical about Elon Musk’s efficiency plans in the upcoming Trump administration.
“Can there be a legitimate top-to-bottom change in the efficiency of our government and its associated costs? Count me as a skeptic about any attempt to change the government, including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Doge thing, because every penny of spending in the budget has a constituency. When you add all those proposed cutbacks together, you face tremendous opposition. But that’s not the point. What matters is that this Treasury Secretary-designate is a serious person.”

“The Canadian company that transports nearly 20% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. and also operates North America’s largest natural gas utility by volume, serving customers in Ontario, Northeast Ohio, Utah, and North Carolina. For the pipeline business, Enbridge Inc (NYSE:ENB) is very strategically located, as it’s connecting the Gulf Coast to the Eastern Midwest, meaning the Appalachian Basin. They actually are in the Gulf King, okay? They also go across the Northeast, and they can get natural gas where it needs to go. Their system is just incredible.
Enbridge Inc (NYSE:ENB) has taken off in the back half of the year, rallying 22% since the end of June. Even after that move, though, the stock supports a bountiful 6.1% yield. It’s one of the safest dividends around, totally covered by the cash flow. We’ve been with it the whole way for years now and have been able to get that juicy yield.”
