It will buy 50 shares of CrowdStrike for about $354 each and 25 shares of Home Depot for about $390 each. After Thursday’s trade, the Jim Cramer Charitable Trust will own 200 shares of CRWD stock, increasing its portfolio weight from 1.5% to 2%. The trust also holds 225 HD shares, increasing its proportion from approximately 2.20% to 2.5%. Now that the stock market has calmed down, I plan to do a buying round on the S&P 500 short range oscillator out of discipline as it trades off the morning high after Wednesday’s Fed-induced selloff. This is the most oversold level the market has reached since October 3, 2023. At the time, the market was sold off by concerns that the Federal Reserve would need to raise interest rates as U.S. Treasury yields soared on the strength of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). . But a month later, the S&P 500 was up 3%, so it turned out to be a good time to hang in there and buy. The oscillator correctly indicated that there was too much fear in the market. With that in mind, we’re adding positions in CrowdStrike and Home Depot, both high-quality companies. CrowdStrike’s stock price has fallen to the level it was in late November after the company announced its third quarter results. I thought it was a buying opportunity at the time, and I think now is the time. This exit is a good opportunity to dive deeper into this premier cybersecurity company. For Home Depot, the Fed’s message that interest rates will be lower than expected next year and weak guidance from home builder Lennar sent housing and home improvement stocks lower. Rising mortgage prices pose some challenges to our theory as bond yields rise despite Fed easing. But home turnover is at its lowest level in 30 years, and we’re patiently waiting for 2025 to be a better year. The stock is currently down 10% from its Dec. 6 high of $431, which was a solid entry point.
