“Oh my god, you know, this is a Jeff Green and you know, this is maybe one of the, the worst five stocks in the S&P 500 this year. But you know what? Amazon’s in there. I’m not going against Amazon. They’re like a, they’re like, they’re like flailing. I don’t want to go against them. I really think Jeff’s great, but… it’s just, you can’t go against the hyperscalers, particularly Amazon, which actually is the largest position we have in my Charitable Trust.”

The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) provides a cloud-based platform that helps advertisers plan, manage, and measure digital ad campaigns across different formats and devices. During the September 4 episode, a caller asked about the stock and Cramer responded:

“Look, it’s down 55%. I like Jeff, but they’ve got Amazon as a competitor. And you know, Amazon is one of my absolute favorite companies, and I don’t want to go against Amazon. Can you make some money? Yeah, but there are other ways to make money that are easier and better.”
