Jim Cramer Says His Own Discipline Made Him Miss SanDisk. Here's What Investors Can Learn
"My discipline has from time to time betrayed me. It turned out that SanDisk had the rare staying power that I've almost never seen in my career. I am always going to miss a stock like SanDisk because my disciplines will betray me."
"Almost no parabolic move survives the next three or four weeks. Advising investors to take some profits when a stock runs hard is statistically sound most of the time, but exceptions exist."
"SanDisk completed its separation from Western Digital and began trading on Nasdaq on February 24, 2025. The spinoff gave investors clearer exposure to SanDisk's flash and NAND memory business."
"SNDK is up roughly 254% year to date in 2026. Over the past year, the stock has climbed approximately 3,193%. Those are not typos."
Investing rules help avoid emotional decisions and prevent chasing trends. Jim Cramer admitted that his discipline sometimes leads to missed opportunities, exemplified by SanDisk's significant rise after he cautioned against it. SanDisk's recent performance has been remarkable, with a 254% increase year to date in 2026 and a staggering 3,193% over the past year. The company, now a standalone entity, has outperformed expectations, while its parent company, Western Digital, has also seen substantial gains since the spinoff.
