We recently compiled a list of the Jim Cramer's Game Plan: 13 Stocks in Focus.In this article, we are going to take a look at where Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) stands against the other stocks in Jim Cramer's game plan.
Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, recently discussed the crucial events on Wall Street this week and emphasized the importance of watching upcoming earnings reports. He pointed out that the Thanksgiving period often brings a surge of optimism to the market. However, Cramer expressed concern that this enthusiasm is getting out of hand.
“Thanksgiving tends to unleash the animal spirits of the market in a very positive way. I’m no killjoy… but there's getting to be a little too much speculation for me and if we don't deal with it, if I don't talk about it, it's gonna become a problem.”
Cramer also turned his attention to Bitcoin, commenting on the growing buzz around the cryptocurrency. He expressed his hope that Bitcoin would finally reach the $100,000 mark so the conversation could move on. According to Cramer, the surge in Bitcoin's price is largely tied to speculation fueled by the President-elect's idea of creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He noted that many people who had missed out on Bitcoin when it was trading lower are now justifying their purchases at these higher levels.
“As long as it's legal, I'm all in but understand, I have nothing to offer on Bitcoin's $100,000 price tag, nor does anybody else, by the way, except to say this: This is what happens when there are more buyers than sellers.”
Turning to broader market trends, Cramer acknowledged that stock trading tends to slow down during the rest of the holiday week. However, he highlighted that Wednesday would bring the latest personal consumption expenditures (PCE) report from the government. This report, a key inflation measure for the Federal Reserve, could give a clue as to whether the Fed will consider another rate cut before the year ends.
Cramer noted that the economy has been running hotter than the Fed would prefer, which has led to speculation that a rate cut in December might not be necessary. The situation is particularly challenging, he explained, because long-term interest rates, including mortgage rates, have been rising since the Fed began its rate cuts. Normally, these rates would decrease in such an environment, so if the PCE report shows a cooler inflation reading, it could fuel another rally. On the other hand, if the report is hot, Cramer suggested it could trigger a downturn in some of the more speculative stocks.
“If you have huge profits in the month of November, could you do me a favor? I would show a little thanks next week and take something off the table in your most risky positions.”

Cramer is a believer in Dell Technologies Inc.’s (NYSE:DELL) Michael Dell and highlighted the company’s partnership with Nvidia.
“After the close, we have some big tech names reporting, including some that we own for the Charitable Trust. CrowdStrike, Dell Technologies, Workday. I think we might see these go 3, 4, 3… Dell is the best partner of Nvidia when it comes to [the] implementation of Blackwell, which is the new generation of AI chips. I buy some now and then I buy some after it pulls back and hey, if the stock doesn't come in after, well then you still got a good position on. I am a huge believer in Michael Dell and I think we're lucky to be able to invest alongside him.”
Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) is well-known for its advanced offerings in areas such as AI servers, unstructured data storage, AI PCs, and networking. It has also developed the Dell AI Factory in collaboration with NVIDIA. This comprehensive solution combines a variety of elements, including servers, storage, networking, workstations, services, and validated solutions, to help businesses unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence.
Recently, Adam Glick, senior director of AI portfolio marketing at Dell, and Jason Schroedl, director of product marketing for enterprise platforms at Nvidia, spoke with theCUBE Research about how AI infrastructure is transforming enterprise productivity and the role of Dell AI Factory solutions in this transformation.
Glick highlighted the importance of integrating hardware, networking, and software, while Schroedl emphasized that early adoption of generative AI gives companies a competitive advantage. Both agreed that AI is rapidly evolving, and companies must act quickly to stay ahead.
Overall DELL ranks 3rd on our list of the stocks featured in Jim Cramer's game plan. While we acknowledge the potential of DELL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than DELL but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
