We recently published a list of Was Jim Cramer Right About These 23 Stocks?. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:DJT) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed 12 months ago.
During the latest episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer advised his viewers to closely monitor the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and the earnings reports from companies. However, he also cautioned that irrespective of what the earnings reveal, the direction of the market will largely be determined by President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve.
He also mentioned that Tuesday will bring the release of February housing data, which Cramer emphasized as significant. He stressed that a strong housing market is essential in preventing a recession, which he described as “terrible”.

“Any kind of slowdown is quickly reflected in housing, which then gets reflected in retail. It’s a delicate chain that starts with housing, which is why I’ll be watching these numbers like a hawk.”
Wednesday’s events are also of importance, as the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee will meet, and the market will hear from Jerome Powell, the Fed’s chair. Cramer noted that the most recent inflation data, including both the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index, have been relatively favorable, which might suggest that inflation is under control. However, he cautioned that certain areas of the economy still experience persistent high prices.
Furthermore, as per Cramer, there is a looming possibility of a new round of tariffs, potentially as soon as next week, which could include a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles, perhaps on those from Germany, Japan, and South Korea. He then added:
“I fear the president will choose Wednesday to lower the boom so be prepared. Sure, the market’s oversold. It may stay oversold by Wednesday so it could possibly handle any auto-related tariff news, but you have to be ready for them.”
Finally, Cramer reiterated that the fate of the market this week will hinge more on actions from the White House and the Federal Reserve than on the earnings reports of individual companies.
