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 Monday’s key moments. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S & P 500 reached record highs Monday as investors awaited more quarterly earnings and considered the impact of an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Morgan Stanley posts financial results Tuesday, while fellow portfolio name Abbott Laboratories reports Thursday. Monday’s gains brings the market further into overbought territory, which led us to trim some TJX Companies on Friday afternoon to book profits and raise some extra cash. Wells Fargo stock climbed 2.5% Monday, clawing back from last week’s big post-earnings drop. Shares tumbled 6% Friday after net interest income (NII), an important measure of profitability for the firm’s lending activities, missed analysts’ expectations. Jim Cramer said Wells is a portfolio stock that will rise once the Federal Reserve lowers rates, leading to a rebound in the bank’s interest-based revenues. This, along with management’s push into fee-based businesses like investment banking, continue to make Wells attractive. In his Sunday column , Jim said Best Buy and Costco Wholesale are buys. Sales for the electronics retailers will surge as customers upgrade their PCs for newer models with artificial intelligence integration. Costco shares also dipped 5% last week, a pullback that had nothing to do with company’s fundamentals. In fact, the big box retailer last week announced its long-awaited membership fee increase — that will go into effect on Sept. 1 in the U.S. and Canada and should be a catalyst for the stock.
