Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 9

Cramer called Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, Inc. (NYSE:NGVC) stock gain in November excessive and said:

“How about Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, which is up more than 71% for the month. This stock, which I’ve never heard of, is presumably rallying on the appointment of RFK Junior, AKA Bobby Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. He’s got some nutty views on vaccines, a little critical of big pharma there, but he is also a health food nut. Still, that 71% run in the little-known Natural Grocers, I’m calling excessive.”
