We're making a small buy as hard-hit AI buildout stocks stabilize
Source
We're buying 11 shares of Micron at roughly $925 each. Following Monday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 53 shares of MU, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to about 1.25% from about 1%. We're nibbling on one of the two semiconductor stock bounce-back candidates that Jim highlighted in his note on Monday's AI selloff. We're jumping in with a small buy — nothing too large — with the group stablizing from the morning lows. The AI trade sold off hard Monday after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a global slowdown in the development of frontier AI models, citing the growing risks posed by increasingly advanced systems. There is still a lot to figure out about what a potentially slower pace of new model development would mean for the artificial intelligence buildout — from regulatory implications to political ramifications if AI companies cede leadership to Chinese competitors. In the meantime, we do not think Amodei's warnings outlined in his weekend essay mean the data center story is over, as Monday morning's selling suggested. With Micron shares down roughly 5%, we'll use the pullback to make a very small buy in a tiny position we would like to build up over time and ahead of what could be a sizeable buyback announcement after the CHIPS Act restrictions expire.
