TheStreet’s Jim Cramer says that if you’re a meme trader, right now, the world is your oyster.
“AMC Entertainment’s (AMC) – Get Report chief executive Adam Aron, for one, is a man with an oyster. He can grow into his market cap and refinance his debt, and the next thing you know he has a real growth company,” Cramer wrote Tuesday on Real Money. “What’s crucial is that after this genius equity sale, he finds another savior. And another. With each one, the story grows stronger.”
Cramer also wrote about how Aron set the stage for Ryan Cohen to make GameStop (GME) – Get Report into completely new company. “He, too, can do a deal with a money manager to become a different company entirely,” Cramer said.

Avoiding Meme Stock FOMO: Experts Tips, Advice
Investing FOMO is always going to take place — whether at the top or at the bottom — when there are huge moves in a stock. This is definitely the case with some of the meme stocks. So how can investors avoid it?
Jeff Marks, senior portfolio at Action Alerts PLUS, and Chris Versace, Real Money contributor, explain how they avoid investing FOMO.
“You have to focus on the fundamentals and you have to understand why the stock is going up — purely on speculative behavior or based on true fundamental news,” said Marks.
Versace added, “One of the things that I try to do is to really understand the history of what’s going on — the history of how the stock is traded in the past, the catalysts that allowed it to either peak out or crater, and the valuations they tend to peak out or bottom out at.”
Why This Analyst Is Picking Salesforce Over Zoom
Still feeling that Zoom (ZM) – Get Report burnout? The company posted earnings, with TheStreet’s Martin Baccardax writing that Zoom’s non-GAAP earnings for the three months ending in April were pegged at $1.32 per share, a five-fold increase from the same period last year as revenues surged 191% to $956.2 million as its customer base of companies with more than 10 employers rose 87% to just under 500,000.
“Zoom hasn’t been a name I’ve been focused on because it trades at such a high price-to-sales multiple and, if you look at the growth numbers, Zoom just delivered. They will grow into that figure but I think it will take a lot more time,” said Jeff Marks.
“When it comes to the big, high-multiple software stocks that I’ve been interested in and the one we currently own at Actions Alerts PLUS, that’s going to be Salesforce (CRM) – Get Report,” Marks noted.
What This Expert Wants to See From the Federal Reserve
Real Money contributor Stephen “Sarge” Guilfoyle discussed the Federal Reserve in his morning Market Recon column.
“I think it’s certainly time to pull back on the asset purchase program and get out of the $13.75 billion corporate debt. End that program — they don’t need your help anymore. But the housing market also doesn’t need their help anymore. So the Federal Reserve can pull back on the $40 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities all the way to $0,” Guilfoyle said.

What This Analyst Likes About Etsy’s Depop Acquisition
Etsy (ETSY) – Get Report, which has seen a boom in business from the pandemic, is buying Depop for $1.63 billion. “We are simply thrilled to be adding Depop — what we believe to be the resale home for Gen Z consumers — to the Etsy family. Depop is a vibrant, two-sided marketplace with a passionate community, a highly-differentiated offering of unique items, and we believe in the significant potential to further scale,” said CEO Josh Silverman.
“I like what CEO Josh Silverman had to say on the strategic rationale of the deal. Etsy has a great playbook of creating value and they’ve had plenty of success with past acquisitions, and I think this deal fits their playbook exactly,” said Jeff Marks.
“You have to remember that the Etsy stock was one of the best performers in the S&P last year and it’s come significantly off its highs regardless of a huge influx of handmade mask sales during the pandemic. But I like the deal so it would be worth taking a closer look at investing in,” Marks added.

The stock is no AMC, but it is a favorite of the Reddit meme stock crowd. So what does Versace think of BlackBerry at these levels?

We own it here and I like it for the long-term given the confluence of cybersecurity,” said Versace.
Musk, Tesla and the SEC: Advice From a Former Trader
The SEC sent correspondence to Tesla (TSLA) – Get Report about Elon Musk’s tweets, according to a new report.

“Workhorse was popular in opening hours, but I don’t think it’s a good company and I don’t think they’ll make money. I really used it as a trading vehicle. I bought it earlier this morning and as soon as it started to give up some of those gains, I made my way out of it,” Guilfoyle said.
