[ad_1] Every 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. Wall Street saw some volatility Friday around Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's morning speech from the central bank conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Powell said inflation is still "too high" and the Fed is "prepared to raise rates further" if economic data dictates it. No interest rate hike is expected at next month's Fed meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool . There's a split in the market on whether we'll see one more rate hike before year-end. Currently, no action is favored. 2. The overall market remains oversold, according to Jim Cramer's trusted S & P Oscillator , but not as oversold as it was earlier in the week. We've been making strategic buys all week long. One day after a blowout quarter, we boosted on Thursday our Nvidia (NVDA) pr...

That coupled with management's upbeat view of this year propelled shares up more than 13% to over $83 each at session highs. That was their highest level since July 2023.

Sometimes a company can do everything right and deliver a strong quarter but see its stock fall because expectations had gotten a little ahead of themselves. That was Eli Lilly , which also reported earnings Tuesday. In other examples, the stock is down so much that it already anticipates a miss. When the company does miss but the results aren't as bad as fe...

[ad_1] In a jam-packed week of earnings, the Club executed multiple trades and elevated price targets for some of our biggest stocks. Many of these moves stemmed from what we saw in quarterly numbers and heard on conference calls. Here's a day-by-day look at the portfolio action. Monday The week began with our decision to exit our Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) position, as the legal road ahead for the pharmaceutical and medical device maker became too treacherous to navigate. After trying to resolve its talc liabilities through bankruptcy failed for a second time, we concluded that upside in the stock would be limited for the foreseeable future, and our money could be put to better use elsewhere. We realized a small profit on Monday's sale of what had been our remaining 500 shares. Microsoft (MSFT) and GE Healthcare (GEHC) fit the bill as better places to put money to work, so Monday afternoon we bought 45 more shares of MSFT and 225 more shares of GEHC. Along with our Micro...

In November 2021, GE announced plans to split and form three publicly trade...
