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 Monday’s key moments. 1. Wall Street started the week off slightly lower on the last day of September — historically the worst month of the year, but not this year. During Monday’s Morning Meeting, Jim Cramer noted that the market bucked its seasonal tendencies. “Once again, the bull market continues.” The Dow , the S & P 500 , and the Nasdaq are set for monthly gains. The Dow and S & P 500 saw some record-high closes last week. The Nasdaq still has more work to do to get back to July’s all-time high. Monday also brings an end to a great third quarter for stocks. 2. The S & P Short Range Oscillator was still overbought after Friday’s session — but just barely. A lower S & P 500 close Monday might break the Oscillator’s overbrought streak of nine trading days. During this stretch, dating back to Sept. 17, we’ve been disciplined and made some trims when there’s too much buying out there. Jim called out Wednesday’s small sales of Meta Platforms and Alphabet as shares of both gained ground recently. 3. Abbott Laboratories goes to trial in St. Louis this week over allegations about the dangers of certain specialized baby formula used in newborn intensive care units. In July, Abbott lost another case in St. Louis. Jim expects the company to lose again. However, he said that outside the formula litigation overhang, which should abate as cases move to less plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, Abbott is a great stock. He stressed, “I want people in it,” advising investors to wait for the trial loss and then buy on the dip. 4. Stocks covered in Monday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were JPMorgan , CVS Health , Ford and General Motors , PayPal , and Alibaba . (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long META, GOOGL, ABT.
