We recently published an article titled Jim Cramer's Game Plan: 17 Stocks in Focus. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against the other stocks.
On Friday, Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, took time to guide investors through this week’s events on Wall Street, drawing attention to earnings reports from various companies, including major players in the tech sector. He also acknowledged the market’s downturn over the past few days, noting the impact of recent developments on investor sentiment.
Cramer specifically pointed out that investors should watch the new home sales report due out this Wednesday. He explained that the housing market has taken a significant hit recently, largely due to a mix of severe weather conditions and, more critically, high mortgage rates. The surge in interest rates has been particularly damaging to homebuilders.
“We need a pickup to verify that housing isn't just falling off a cliff at this point. I'm actually not hopeful.”

Looking ahead to Thursday, Cramer noted that the first gross domestic product reading of the week would be released, and he expects it to reflect strong performance. He attributed the anticipated strength to a business climate that gained momentum following the election, when many investors began to believe that President Trump’s policies would be more favorable for business than those of his predecessor, President Biden.
On Friday, Cramer also pointed out a noteworthy trend: interest rates had declined, a pattern that had persisted throughout the week. This, according to Cramer, raised the possibility that the upcoming GDP report could be the final strong one before the market adjusts to the changing economic environment. While Cramer clarified that he was not making any definitive predictions, he emphasized that these market movements were indicative of what the market was signaling.
“So let me give you the bottom line: Out of nowhere, the momentum stocks had a hideous downturn today. It’s hurt many aggressive growth investors. Can this pullback finally run its course? I hope so.”
