We just covered the Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stock Picks. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) ranks #4 (see the Jim Cramer’s top 5 stock picks in 2026 here).
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) remains a core holding in Jim Cramer’s stock portfolio. In December, he reiterated his call for investors to own the stock for the long term and criticized the market for overlooking positive developments related to China. Cramer said investors had previously viewed restrictions on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s ability to sell chips in China as a key reason to stay cautious. But when NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) later received approval to sell certain chips there, the market showed little reaction and the stock did not move higher, he said.
“Nvidia is what’s known as a retail stock owned heavily by you, by individuals who are easily scared,” Cramer said. “Do you know why I say own Nvidia? Don’t trade it? Because this kind of thing has driven regular individual investors, including perhaps you out of the stock since it was trading at two bucks when I recommended it. And that was a few years ago. I view it as my job to stop the trading madness, to grip so many people, to dispel the needless fear, to quell the rebellion against simply owning a stock.”
