PPI Runs Hot, OpenAI Reveals New AI Model, Meme Craze Continues 05/14/24

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber started the show by discussing this morning’s inflation data. The producer price index, a measure of what producers receive for the goods they produce, increased 0.5% in April and was up 2.2% on a 12-month basis, the biggest gain in a year. The anchors then shifted to the ongoing meme craze, as shares of GameStop and AMC surged again. Because of Monday’s massive rally, short-selling hedge funds suffered a mark-to-market loss of $838 million in GameStop.
