Jim Cramer (1:39)
Hey, I'm Kramer. Welcome to Mad Money. Welcome to Kramerica. Other People Make Friends I'm just trying to make you some money. My job not just to entertain you, but to educate you. So call me at 1-800-743- CNBC. Tweet me jim Cramer so many of the top people in this business give up so easily on the best investments that it's a marvel anyone makes money in stocks. They're way too eager to capitulate. That's how I feel about 2 of my absolute favorite stocks, Nvidia and Apple, both of which exploded higher today on Tremendous News Carry a market that looks soggy at the opening but then turned around spectacular fashion with the Dow advancing 66 points as it be climbing 0.44% and the Nasdaq getting.70%. I want to spend some time on these two because it is vital for you to realize why so many people cannot make money in this market. Cannot or in any market, something I spent a huge amount of time writing about in my new book, how to Make Money in Any Market, which comes out next week. My premise has long been Wall street and its media acolytes constantly encourage you to trade and you're going to end up trading out of the best stocks of any euro. As a result, you end up missing the biggest Moves in these stocks because you know what they occur when you at least expect them, like today. Then, because so many people refuse to own stocks through thick and thin, the establishment says, well, it's impossible for you to make money in the market, so you might as well just stick with index funds. Forget about catching the big ones. You can't do it. Instead of getting the ones with the huge profits that could have been yours had you stuck with the stocks of Nvidia or Apple, which you know I like so much, you have to be satisfied with much lower returns. I wrote how to make money in any market to combat this terrible conundrum that continually keeps people from getting rich in individual stocks. Something that can only happen with discipline investing as opposed to ill advised, often reckless, almost always harmful trading. So let's take what happened today with the stocks of Apple and video. It is so instructive. First, Apple. For the last two weeks, I've been trying to get across to you that this launch of the iPhone 17 would be very different. These are incredible new models, including one that's as light as a candy bar in the hand. Sure, there's always the possibility of a belly flop, but for years my strategy has been to own Apple, don't trade it. And the more I studied the new models, the more I realized these were really special. I figured they'd only reward disciplined investors who stick with Apple as long as it offers the best products. That's been the thesis, and these are still the best products. Apple kept the faith of the committed investor, including my charitable trust, where I've demonstrated my felicity for years. If you didn't catch my enthusiasm in Kentucky when we spoke with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Corning factory where all the iPhone cover glass will soon be made, well, then you might have sense that when I interviewed Cook at the actual 17 launch in New York city. But I was up against a negative narrative, a wall of negatives about Apple spread by both the buy side, meaning the hedge funds, and the sell side, meaning the analysts. This narrative flooded the media. No, no, it owned the media. Subjecting you to a constant barrage of, of pessimism about Apple that would make all but the most stalwart owners, or maybe the coolest ones, check out of the stock. We heard that the phones weren't that different from previous models. They were yawners. We heard that they wouldn't sell well in China. We heard that tariffs would hurt sales because the phones would cost 200, $300 more than people thought. We were pounded with that narrative. Listen well without any homegrown artificial intelligence by the way, sales would have to be tepid, right? Incredibly, every one of those negatives that the one that made you want to dump Apple in fear of course is proving to be untrue. From the crowds mobbing Apple stores in China it looks like the launch is going spectacular and they don't even have all the models for sale the PRC there are adherence for each phone Cook told told us that when you take the trade in value and you add on the incentives the wireless carriers the price really hasn't gone up at all despite the tariffs as far as I Tim showed there's a remarkable amount of artificial intelligence in these phones and and as far as he can tell, nobody switching the competition like a Samsung just for better AI. It's a yawner to the faithful. That negative narrative seemed busted to me. But going into today's session, Apple stock wasn't even up for the year. Then this morning Mike Sievert, the CEO of T Mobile came on squawk on the street to announce his retirement. I remembered a few years back, another time when people thought that Apple sales would weak but when I caught up with Mike he said they weren't, they were terrific. That immediately turned Apple stock around so I wasn't going to let him leave without asking him how this launch was doing. Here's what he had to say. I can tell you T Mobile's iPhone sales are at all time record highs.
