Here is what Cramer said in his daily promotional mailing
Meta Platforms (META): I made a mistake, and I was wrong. I trusted this management team and that was ill-advised. Gone rogue. I got had. Horrifying free cash flow of less than $1 billion at the Club holding. Last year $9.5 billion. The hubris here is extraordinary. Bought back $6.5 billion of stock, suboptimal. Shares of the Facebook-parent getting crushed, down nearly 23% to around $100 in the premarket. As we wrote Wednesday evening after the mixed quarter and light guidance, it's no wonder the stock is down so much, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg obsessed with spending on the metaverse.
Odd that he didn't lead off with "Club Holding" as he does with the rest of the stocks he updated and holds today... yet at the bottom of the email he has:
(Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long META, F, HON and LIN. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
Ford is also on the disclosure list but not CAT:

Club holding Ford (F): Can they hit fourth quarter? $50 billion in liquidity, resuming buyback. China big miss in third quarter. Beat on Q3 earnings per share and revenue (preannounced in September; stock crushed at the time). Raised full-year adjusted free cash flow goal to $9.5 billion to $10 billion, a $3.44 billion increase. Stock down 1.5% in the premarket.
Dow stock Caterpillar (CAT): EPS in the third quarter $3.95 versus $3.18 expected. Sales of $14.99 billion also beat. Really strong. Operating margin 16.2% versus 13.4% expected. Profitable growth.

Maybe he plans to sell it...

Zuck has very lofty ambitions, several of which I agree with. But they are high risk/reward propositions. At this point investing in META is akin to investing in a development stage biotech - an extremely well funded biotech that has little chance of bankruptcy. I am ok averaging down on META for every 20% down point or something. 10 share here, 20 shares there. I will cap it at 100 shares.
