We recently published a list of Was Jim Cramer Right About These 16 Stocks?. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Prologis Inc. (NYSE:PLD) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed 12 months ago during his show on March 18, 2024.
On the most recent episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer advised his viewers against exiting the market entirely, despite the sharp sell-off. He also reminded viewers that, historically, the market has always found its bottom, and stocks can rebound over time. Cramer then addressed the idea of selling everything but he raised an important question saying:
“Sure you can get out, but can you get back in? Selling everything right now feels great. We know that President Trump is now hanging with the bears… As he himself said you can’t really watch the stock market, the stock market’s the problems of the rich, and they don’t matter as long as it, they can take a hit. And that’s a zeitgeist from the Walmart White House where Trump’s giving us everyday lower prices for stocks.”
Cramer then pointed out the disparity between President Trump’s approach and what long-term investors might believe is the right course of action. In the past, Cramer noted, figures like Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell were seen as stabilizers, or “puts,” that would help cushion the market’s downward moves. However, no one seems to be talking about that kind of support lately. He added:
“People are capitulating because they want to get rid of the pain and they don’t want to lose the game… See, there’s just one problem. How do you get back in?”
Cramer also highlighted a common pitfall: many investors get scared off during market downturns and fail to seize the opportunity to buy strong companies at lower prices. He pointed out that this fear leads people to miss out on significant future gains, leaving them on the sidelines while others take advantage of lower stock prices and reap substantial rewards.
“It’s why you should be thinking of buying the great companies here, not selling them. To not get good merchandise as it starts being really cheap is a failure of imagination, to not have held them all the way could be a failure of recognition.”

Cramer was optimistic about Prologis Inc. (NYSE:PLD), citing its data center expansion and strong market positioning at the time, saying:
“Management also gave us some optimistic commentary on their largest market, Southern California, and noted that they’re making big money in the red-hot data center business.”
However, the stock hasn’t lived up to expectations since, having dropped by 7.13%.
Nevertheless, Cramer remains optimistic about the stock, saying this on the 29th of January this year:
“We’re not talking enough about Prologis, the largest warehouse company which caught a bottom last week. A bottom in one of the industries that we were so down about, which is warehouse. Now we’re just focused on data center on how weak they have to be. . . “
