Mad Money’s Latest Recap: Jim Cramer’s Strategy for Market Sell-Offs and 5 Stocks Mentioned

In this article, we will look at Mad Money’s Latest Recap: Jim Cramer’s Strategy for Market Sell-Offs and 5 Stocks Mentioned. Please visit Mad Money’s Latest Recap: Jim Cramer’s Strategy for Market Sell-Offs and 16 Stocks Mentioned, if you’d like to see the extended list and methodology behind it.

5. JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU)

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. A caller asked whether the company is well-positioned or whether the airline industry is a risky place to be. Cramer replied:

Too risky for me. I know down four seems like it, you know, look, it’s a dice roll, and I don’t like dice rolls. I’ve got a lot of stocks that I think, the fundamentals are better than, so I’m going to pass on that one.

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) provides air transportation services and flies to around several dozen destinations. A caller asked whether the company stock was worth owning during the January 21 episode, and Cramer responded:

Do I want to own the stock? I think United Airlines is amazing. This guy Scott Kirby, I want, I’m like, he’s like so smart. I mean, I gotta tell you, that guy is dynamite. But you can’t fly there, just because the stock’s up, but you can buy the stock.

4. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. Cramer explained the possible outcomes of lawsuits against the company as he commented:

Alright, let me give you one more example, and this one’s more complex. The lawsuits brought by the typical class action lawyers to extract big money out of enterprises that may or may not be responsible for bad things. Meta lost two cases in a row last week, one in New Mexico, which said, among other things, that Meta prioritized profit over safety, and another in California that said, Meta and Google were negligent because they failed to warn users about the addictive nature of their platforms…

Both were tried in state, not federal courts. The marketplace doesn’t know how to handle lawsuits, so let me give you a little primer on what’s going to happen here. First, arguably, Meta lost about $200 billion in market capitalization of these verdicts… The California case made people think that Meta would now be a honeypot for any young person who can demonstrate social media addiction… There’s context to the messages, and that context will make it much easier for Meta to win these cases when it comes to appeal. Now, I know that these two losses were devastating to the shareholders who fled in droves, but I have followed these kinds of lawsuits all my life, and I can tell you that when these cases get to the federal courts… rather than in the states, there’s a very good chance it’s going to be overturned…

At the end of the day, when you sue social media companies for your depression… you’re going to eventually have to prove that it was Meta’s fault. Very hard to do… Meta can prove that it wasn’t the only precipitant… I know these two cases seem existential to the health of Meta, but before you begin to believe that, remember what happened with the stock of Johnson & Johnson in the talc cases… That’s why I thought the sell-off based on these lawsuits was strange, wrong, maybe even ridiculous.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) develops technologies and applications that connect people through social networking and messaging. The company’s portfolio includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Threads, and virtual and augmented reality products.

3. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and stated:

Next, we’re going to talk memory stocks. Oh, everyone’s giving up on those, right? Last week, we learned that Google has something that could make it possible for computers to use less memory. While, this may or may not be true, it destroyed the entire cohort. Micron, Seagate, Western Digital, Sandisk, wow, getting obliterated. Carnage was non-stop. Charnel house. I wish that there was some gravitas to Google’s memory device killer, though, because I’m not buying it. Why? Because Google was down when it was announced. If this were for real, Google stock should have roared instead of going down. Still, the memory stocks were up so much going into last week that they were due for a pullback. Remember, they went parabolic… But if this turns into a bear market, they’re clearly not done going down.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) provides tech-related products and services, including search, advertising, cloud computing, AI tools, and digital content platforms like YouTube and Google Play.

2. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW)

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. Cramer highlighted the purchase of shares by the company’s CEO, as he commented:

Nikesh Arora, how about him, the CEO of Palo Alto? He’s been on for ages… He bought $10 million worth of his own stock in the open market on Friday. I don’t think a CEO would buy $10 million worth of stock if he thought AI was an existential threat to the business model. Would he be doing that if Anthropic was going to wipe his company out? I’m not saying these stocks should go right back up. It’s too hard to market for that. I am saying now you know at least why they went down.

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) provides cybersecurity platforms that include network protection, cloud security, AI-driven security operations, attack surface management, and subscription-based threat prevention.

1. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. Cramer explained why AI disruption worries could be wrong, as he said:

There’s a private company, it’s called Anthropic. They’re developing an AI model with unchecked agent abilities that theoretically could have tremendous cybersecurity powers. Given the strength of Claude, the market believes this new offering from Anthropic will be devastating for the two preeminent cybersecurity stocks, Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, both of which we, fortunately or unfortunately, depending upon the day, own for the Charitable Trust.

For a while, people seemed to be under the impression that with Anthropic’s new agents, we might not need traditional cybersecurity at all. Now, that is just dead wrong. In reality, the rise of AI should be a tailwind. That means good for Palo Alto and CrowdStrike because these same AI agents can be programmed by hackers to take over your network very easily. They are the vulnerability. Without the help of traditional cybersecurity, you’re more vulnerable than ever. George Kurtz, the CEO of CrowdStrike, said as much when he came on the show last Wednesday. I remember listening to him, and he was saying, look, you know, this is really good for us. Now, George has been straight with us all along.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) provides cloud-based cybersecurity solutions. The company offers protection for endpoints, cloud systems, identities, and data.

While we acknowledge the potential of CRWD to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than CRWD and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
