I'm just trying to make some money. My job is not just education and not just to entertain, but to do some teaching. So call me 1-800-703-CBC. Tweet me at Jim Cramer. Newsflash. Sometimes stocks just go down. If they're visible high-profile stocks, they can change people's minds about the rest of the market. Usually for the worse.
And if you don't know about that linkage, you're more likely to panic and sell some very, very good stocks that were, I don't know, let's just say they were being pruned today. Hey, I prune my tomatoes each week. I try to show them on letter X.
They bear the most fruit if you prune them. They don't do so well if you don't. On a not-so-hot day where the Dow declined 131 points, just to be losing 0.4, 5% Nasdaq, coming up 0.16%. Once again, we saw a wholesale change of the guard in the market.
Simply because one of the most visible stocks in the world went the wrong way after earnings. Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell.
Now, the stock in question doesn't trade here. It makes it a little harder. It isn't even American. It's a South Korean memory chip place called Samsung. And it's been an insane trader. It's not more than 370% in the last 12 months and over 140% year to date. Okay, that's a good looking chart, all right? But last night, Samsung stock got crushed, falling over 9% after offering a preliminary quarterly report that was superb, but not superb enough. Leaving questions about the durability of the demand for their basic memory products, the ones that are supposed to be in such short supply, right? But put aside that Samsung has outperformed almost every stock in the world in the last year, when you look at the booming South Korean market, only SK Hynex, the memory chip maker, even comes close in terms of market capitalization. That stock goes up 700% in the last 12 months and over 230% year to date. Samsung's no slouch, but that SK Hynex run is one for the ages. It allowed Hynex to become a trillion dollar company, like its Samsung doppelganger. Now, whenever you have a visible miss, no matter how slight, there's always gonna be some nervous, jittery shareholders of other companies who insist on extrapolating that weakness, particularly if it's so visible, like the way that the climb was for a market winner like Samsung. They extrapolated to their own portfolio and they don't honestly do it right. And they don't have all those fancy computers that tell you what to do. See, this thing goes like this. Samsung makes products that are vital to the data center. We talk about the data center all the time. If it misses expectations and it's got such demand from the data centers, then even very heightened expectations, well, wait a second, that means demand might be slackening. If demand is slackening in Korea, you can extrapolate that something must be rotten in America.
When the bears see this stuff, they went out at any cost and shorting the stocks and people get nervous. Okay, listen, so down goes Micron, right after it reported an incredible quarter, which is now well but forgotten. Off goes GUVonova, which builds the linchpin that links power to the data center. Today, it's just got obliterated. Verda makes power and cooling equipment for the data center. It may be weak, it could be weaker too for this. Even as we know that Verda's been doing very well. Bang, bang, bang.
