The Year Of Magical Investing

According to Cramer, markets are shifting away from betting on future dreams toward focusing on fundamentals. His message implies an end to an era where investors put their money behind risky assets, especially those driven by themes like artificial intelligence (AI). 

He also took a jab at OpenAI, implying that the hype around the AI startup has too many “future maybes” that he’s comfortable with. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around OpenAI, which is not a publicly traded company, trended in 'bullish' territory over the past day. Cramer's comment adds to growing investor caution about whether AI-driven spending can translate into sustainable earnings growth.

Tech Stocks Show Signs Of Recovery

Cramer’s warning came as major equity benchmarks showed modest premarket gains on Wednesday following a pullback in large-cap technology names during the previous session. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) was up 0.28%, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) rose 0.17%, and the Nasdaq-100 tracking Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) moved 0.56% higher. Retail sentiment around QQQ on Stocktwits continued to trend in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory over the past day.

Chipmakers Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) also rebounded. Nvidia’s stock rose more than 1% after supplier Foxconn reported a 17% year-over-year increase in earnings, while AMD’s stock jumped over 5%. Retail sentiment around both Nvidia and AMD trended in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day.
