Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch audio feature in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Here’s today’s edition. The market Tuesday extended its rotation from Monday but this time with cash moving into Big Tech while investors sold off lower quality companies and year-to-date laggards. This is all happening as the 10-year Treasury yield falls below 4.2%, further supporting the Magnificent 7 mega cap tech stocks. American Express (AXP) took a tumble this afternoon after it said at a conference that October billings were softer than the third quarter as “everybody got a little bit skittish” but rebounded in November back toward third quarter levels. It’s always interesting to see how patterns in consumer spending can mirror stock market performance. October was a terrible month for stocks while November was much better. Elsewhere, we’re still seeing weakness in Procter & Gamble (PG) after it announced a restructuring in certain markets, including Argentina and Nigeria. We think this is an overreaction. The company spoke at a Morgan Stanley consumer conference Tuesday explaining that profits and cash flows in these markets were getting crushed by currency. The company decided to move to an import only market in Nigeria and is planning to divest its Fabric and Home Care business in Argentina.
