Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Jim Cramer warned that the AI stock sell-off likely has more downside, but noted many of today’s hardest-hit firms are profitable, unlike the dot-com era. He cited midterm opposition to new data centers as a key risk to AI infrastructure spending and pointed to declines in Micron, GE Vernova, and SanDisk, urging investors to hold cash and avoid panic while rates trend lower.
