micron
- He advised investors to wait a few months before buying Micron stock, but do so before the chip glut ends. “Once there is any indication of bottoming out, this is going to bounce back like crazy – it always does,” he said.
Airbnbs
- Cramer said the company should continue to be profitable this year, thanks to the current travel boom. Investors interested in stocks should buy gradually in the middle of the decline, he added.
