Skip NavigationJoin ICJoin ProLivestreamMenuEvery weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a recap of Friday’s key moments. 1. Stocks dropped for a second straight session on Friday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way lower, with a decline of more than 1%. Jim Cramer said that higher bond yields are the reason why many stocks are lower. “The commonality, the threat is rates,” he said, following the highest yearly producer price index reading in nearly four years. This comes after Tuesday’s hotter consumer inflation report. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the market favors a quarter-point rate hike next month and in January and maybe March. The Federal Reserve increased rates for the first time in three years in September. 2. Nvidia shares fell another 3% on Friday, one day after Jensen Huang resigned as CEO amid an affair scandal. “There’s been no bid for [Nvidia stock],” Jim said, pointing to the lack of buyers out there. “I want everyone to know that this one’s going down, he predicted. “We’ve been frozen.” Jim acknowledged that “some people feel it’s a totally tainted company.” However, he also sees the other side: “There are many people who want to be the CEO of this company, who would like to graduate to it. I’m not sure they are the people that you’re reading about.” Nvidia is our worst stock of the week, down more than 13.5%. 3. Jim said that Friday’s decline in Advanced Micro Devices is a “terrific opportunity” to buy the stock. “I did not know how much better AMD was doing [than Intel]. So we’re getting a chance here,” he said. He has been saying since Wednesday that, if not restricted, he would be starting a position in AMD and exiting troubled Intel . In trades that we were able to make Friday, we trimmed off-price retailer TJX ahead of next week’s earnings. Jim said TJX needs to deliver on the fix of its biggest division that it promised. We took those TJX proceeds and added to consumer products giant Kimberly-Clark and Corona and Modelo brewer Constellation Brands , our newest position in the portfolio. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long NVDA, TJX, KMB, and STZ. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
