Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE:SPG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Starting the round of “Am I Diversified,” a club member mentioned that their top five holdings are SPG, AMZN, AVGO, LNG, and VICI. Cramer replied:

Wow, you’re diversified, but we may have to do some work anyway, just in terms of a stock I’m worried about. But okay, Cheniere, that’s liquified natural gas. I love that. Simon Properties, we think David Simon’s the best mall operator there is. These are really fantastic. Amazon, we know is retail, but it’s also tech. And Broadcom is the company that makes the chip, by the way, they make the chip for, I don’t know if you knew this, for Google. They do a lot of other things too, but they’re a tech company, mostly semis. And then VICI is the one I’m worried about. They’re a REIT that I don’t like the properties of… And we have two REITs, so let’s get rid of VICI. I want to add J&J. We will put that in there because you need a healthcare company, and then you’ll be fine. But that must be done, okay? I wish it were earlier in the day because I want you to… do that right now.
