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. The 2-year Treasury remains the right buy When to buy our chip plays Quick mentions: TJX, DIS, ABBV 1. The 2-year Treasury remains the right buy We’re saying good riddance to September — but likely not to all the volatility we’ve seen in markets over the past month. The Federal Reserve has doubled down on its hawkish stance on interest rates in recent days, raising concerns the central bank may not be able to pull off a soft landing. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said Thursday that she would be comfortable with interest rates going as high as 5% next year. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester told CNBC that more needs to be done to tamp down inflation. At the same time, the Chicago Business Barometer tumbled in September , entering contraction territory for the first time since March 2020. Jim Cramer said that he is firm on his stance that the 2-year Treasury is the right investment for the current environment. “It’s very important that people recognize that this is the competition to stocks, and I want to make this very clear, it’s good competition,” he said. At the same time, the S & P 500 Short Range Oscillator is also still in oversold territory , meaning our advice to hold your nose and buy something still applies. 2. When to buy our chip plays Jim broke down his take on all the Club’s semiconductor chip plays — with some caveats. He said that investors should buy stocks of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), if they believe Micron (MU) is stable after issuing a weaker-than-expected revenue outlook. Investors should be eyeing Qualcomm (QCOM), if they have faith that Apple (AAPL) won’t disappoint when it reports its next quarterly results. The Club has continued to stand by the iPhone maker and thinks its fundamentals are strong. He added that it’s still too early to buy Nvidia (NVDA). But this is the right time to buy shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) because it’s an enterprise play, and, therefore, does not have issues stemming from changing consumer preferences like the Club’s other chip plays. 3. Quick mentions: TJX, DIS, ABBV Nike (NKE) said Thursday that it’s struggling with excess inventory, which is bad news for the company but great news for Club holding TJX Companies (TJX). That excess inventory will likely go into off-price stores like T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, so investors should consider picking up some shares of TJX. While Bank of America lowered its price target on Disney (DIS), to $127, we still stand by the stock. And we added to our position on Thursday. Leerink reiterated its underperform rating and lowered its price target for Abbvie (ABBV), to $135, with its concern revolving mainly around the Humira patent cliff . While we are unsure what will happen to the stock, we have no plans to make any trades at this time. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long AABV,…
