Vietnam Gains Edge With Early Trump Deal, US Group Head Says
'The message from the Vietnamese government has been clear at every stage that we want to keep doing business with the United States,' he said in his first interview since returning to Vietnam to establish a presence for the council in Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoi's approach has been, 'we will negotiate, not retaliate, we're going to put a lot on the table,' said Osius, who was US ambassador to Vietnam from 2014 to 2017.

Jim Cramer Says RH 'Feels Dicey'
RH (NYSE:RH) is one of the 22 stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Calling it 'dicey', Cramer remarked, 'RH… Restoration Hardware feels dicey, especially with that balance sheet, but it could be a nice short squeeze.' A customer happily browsing aisles of high-end furniture in a large showroom. RH (NYSE:RH) is a lifestyle brand and retailer focused on the home furnishings market. The company provides a broad selection of furniture, lighting, textiles, and décor. On April 8, the company received a comment from Cramer as he said: 'It's kind of like RH, the old Restoration Hardware, which has fallen from $457 to $149 in less than four months. This is Gary Friedman's company. He is total money, but if you buy it here, you're betting that the wealthy customers should be able to deal with the tariffs that we put on all of their beautiful furnishings. This stuff's pretty expensive already, although I'd argue it's worth the price. However, RH also makes a ton of furniture in Vietnam and it's hard to say it'll be worth the price once you throw in that 46% tariff.' While we acknowledge the potential of RH as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Jim Cramer on Palantir: 'Can't Avoid Buying Another Data Center'
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is one of the 22 stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Cramer noted that the stock is once again being bought by 'meme buyers' after a day of pause, and said: 'Oh, and, and I don't want to go too far… The meme buyers, after yesterday's vacation, they're right back. They're buying Palantir, the ultimate story stock…. I expect Palantir, currently at $132 and change, to go to $200 this quarter. Can't avoid buying another data center.' A software engineer manipulating a vast network of code on virtual monitors. Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) develops software platforms that enable organizations to analyze complex data, support decision-making, and carry out operations. Its tools are designed for intelligence, enterprise data integration, and AI-driven workflows. On July 1, Cramer said: 'But what do we do with the very different set of winners for the first half? I want you to consider the GE Vernovas and the Howmets and the Palantirs, the stocks that are likely to finish the year dramatically higher from these exalted levels. What do you do with the stocks that have been on a run nonstop for 26 weeks, though? I think you send them on one of those two-week vacations like that Southeast Asia, Cape Town, maybe New Zealand. You pay no attention to them. Let them have a good time. Just take them off your screen, come back to them when the rotations run its course. While we acknowledge the potential of PLTR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Jim Cramer Says Williams-Sonoma's CEO 'Moved a Ton of Manufacturing to Vietnam'
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM) is one of the 22 stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. Coming to the company, Cramer stated: 'Laura Alber, CEO of Williams-Sonoma, moved a ton of manufacturing to Vietnam. Her stock's down more than 6% for the year, intriguing. [It] jumped more than 2% on the tariff news, but that's nothing.' An interior of a modern home with a wide selection of cookware, tools and cutlery on display. Williams-Sonoma (NYSE:WSM) sells a wide range of home products, including cookware, furniture, decor, and personalized items, through both digital and physical retail channels. Additionally, the company operates a 3-D imaging and augmented reality platform for home design. Vltava Fund stated the following regarding Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: 'We sold the rest of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM) stock. This was a very profitable investment for us. How do we evaluate its feedback? We did not hold the stock for very long, only about 3-1/2 years. During that time, the stock price moved from less than $50 to more than $200. In the beginning, we could buy the shares at single digit earnings multiples. The stock price was well below our estimate of the company's value. The business itself is of very high quality, with high returns on capital, no debt, and an exemplary asset allocation. As such, we see the purchase itself as a good move and entirely in line with our investment philosophy. When we sold the shares, they were trading at about 25 times earnings. This was significantly higher than our current estimate of the company's value. Any company, however good and promising it may appear, is a good investment at a low price but a poor investment at a high price. We are always reminded of this and therefore we sold the WSM shares. So far, we see this also as a good move and entirely consistent with our investment philosophy. At the same time, however, we are aware that the large total return on this investment was only partly the result of our transactions and analysis. Luck also played a large part. We expected that WSM would do well in its business. This was confirmed, and the shares also had been objectively very cheap when we bought them. However, all of this falls far short of justifying the rapid quadrupling of the share price. We therefore do not succumb to the temptation to attribute more to our own skills than is prudent. It remains important for us to stick to our investment philosophy and investment process in our stock selection and individual transactions. On average and over the longer term, they should continue to bring us solid returns, although in individual cases or over shorter periods they may deliver returns both much better than they deserve and much poorer than they deserve.' While we acknowledge the potential of WSM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
