We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discusses These 10 Stocks & Says ‘Bro’ Market Is Froth. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer commented on a Bloomberg piece about Secretary Bessent acting like a hedge fund manager and disagreements within President Trump’s team:

“I mean, how many times in that incredible interview with Sarah, I mean I’m talking about incredible, did he, ‘well in my time as a, well in my time as a’, and then you got, the Commerce Secretary and screaming at people. Discord and they all kind of disagree with each other and then you got Navarro being kind of funny at least. And then you say to yourself, who are these guys?”

Cramer also shared his thoughts on a Bank of America note commenting on a basket of Trump Trade stocks and calling it a ‘bro bubble.’ These stocks include Elon Musk’s car company and Alex Karp’s data analytics firm. Cramer liked the piece and he thought it was fun. He added:

“When you come in you can see certain stocks that just bubble. Also like the airline, the phony airline and the bogus nuclear. I mean there’s so much fun for me because I’m actually close to nuclear. . .and everyone knows we’re nowhere. . . .I just find that it is so disappointing to see much, so much froth in the market that is a bro. But, you don’t wanna buy those stocks, those stocks are heavily inflated. And if the President realizes, wow, you know what I’m doing, I gotta change my thing.”

Cramer also shared why he takes a critical approach on the show. “I work for the viewers, and our viewers are losing a lot of money,” he said and added he spoke for the viewers “because I’m one of them, they’re one me and I think that someone has to say look, the pain is real for individuals, you don’t need to inflict it.”

The CNBC TV show host opined that while markets might appear to be stable, they could change in a heartbeat:

“Well, I just caution to people that there could be a posting, what can I say. There could be a posting about I’m gonna redouble my efforts, or maybe he’s gonna go against Hungarian wine which I kind of like . . .maybe he goes something against Korea. It’s just a matter of time. And then you bought NVIDIA at 119 and then you get a post. It really is like that. I mean I tried to warn people at the Club yesterday, I said look, the posts are the reason why you can’t take stocks. You can maybe bid underneath, but you can’t take them because then you could get a heat-seeking post.”

When co-host Carl Quintanilla asked Cramer whether he wanted to short US treasuries given the uncertainty, he shared: “I don’t want to do that.” Cramer believes that the Fed chair is trying to stabilize everything and described him as “conscious,” “prudent,” and “non-judgemental.” He believes that the Fed chair isn’t mercurial, and went as far as to state that Powell was perhaps the least mercurial man that he’d met.

The day this show was aired marked the 20th anniversary of his evening show, Mad Money. Cramer commented that he wanted to reach out to ordinary Americans with the show and how he stood up to the channel’s previous management to do so:

“What I was really trying to do was make it so it was human. I went and said I want to talk to real people. And previous management said that was just ridiculous. But I didn’t care. Real people are who the show’s about. People who are trying to struggle, trying to make sense of things. I take on people who I think don’t help. And I praise people who do. It’s a very pro-business show. Very pro stock market show. Very pro-capitalism show. And it’s a very pro-viewer show. And it’s really who I care about. The viewers are my boss. Everyone else is ancillary.”

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 262

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of Cramer’s top Mag 7 stocks. In his previous comments, he has remained optimistic about the firm’s advertising business and attributed the stock’s performance to cost-cutting efforts. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’s shares have lost 3.9% year-to-date after initially gaining 19% between the DeepSeek selloff and mid-February. However, Cramer is still a fan of the firm:

“The most offensive is Meta, because even though that does have advertising revenue, he’s completely crushing it. Mark Zuckerberg’s crushing it. And by the way, the Adobe thing was very interesting. The Adobe led, that stock was down huge. And one of big the reasons I think why I think is that you can go to Meta, and they can design anything for you. You can go to TikTok and they can, they don’t really help you, but Meta can do many things. And I think people go back to the conference calls and realize he owns, he’s really very much in control of the situation.”

“[On concerns about the advertising market] There are. But again, people don’t realize that when you have a situation where you think everybody is, you’re not getting good ROI in your advertisement, you just circle the wagons, you get out of radio, you get out linear TV as fast as possible. And you go to, you go to Amazon, you go somewhat to YouTube. And you go to Mark Zuckerberg. And you go to TikTok.”

Overall, META ranks 1st on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
