Jim Cramer on Broadcom: “The Disappointing Earnings May Not Be as Crushing as We Think”

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) was among the stocks Jim Cramer highlighted on Mad Money as he noted that the market has an appetite for stocks. Cramer highlighted the stock’s parabolic move before the quarter, as he said:

… The disappointing earnings may not be as crushing as we think. This is not the first time that Broadcom, which by the way, is a gigantic company, has offered a measured forecast only to crush the numbers next quarter. The stock had gone parabolic into the quarter, and as we told CNBC Investing Club members when we sold some stock ahead of this quarter this week, a parabola is never a good sign.
