Jim Cramer sees a 'huge buying opportunity' in Microsoft

remember i said for i and friends so how about the friends microsoft just raised the price of well for 63.65 the subscription service no pushback that i could tell like alphabet and amazon we own microsoft for the channel trust i think the stock's 25 25 point decline has given a huge buying opportunity for you you want information unbiased info about these stocks we write about them all the time which then leaves us with the roughest one at all that i saved for last and that's facebook this is one of our longest held positions in the charitable trust and this is difficult to talk about regular viewers know that i think the world of facebook and instagram fantastic advertising ability whatsapp i use it myself these are all incredibly compelling but lately two things have happened first apple's made it harder for app developers to collect data from iphone users for targeted advertising bad news for facebook is targeted advertising is a very big part of the value proposition now we know this will hurt earnings we don't know how badly and they've already flagged that it will second and this is the real problem children like most of the internet facebook and instagram aren't exactly child friendly websites but it looks like many kids are finding their way onto these sites and some of the content is very worrisome that has to end facebook needs to come down hard on both children and the parents who allow it to happen make it buying make it like buy alcohol where people actually get in trouble for trying to subvert the rules honestly if i were mark zuckerberg i would ask congress to make it illegal for children to go one of these sites let them help make it somebody else's problem i would shout safety for kids is my number one goal going forward now i am going to say it again mark zuckerberg you make safety for kids your number one goal and you make it stick then i know my trust won't feel has to leave the stock i'm not hearing that now which as a parent and as an observer of the situation concerns me greatly i think the political issues are more intractable but they're not public health issues like teenage suicide i wish facebook could just sticker content that it deems catchy because it's got a good board of advisors that's serious they have a staff i don't know ban anything that could lead to genocide based on the recent leaks though it seems like they don't care how much damage their users do as long as it generates traffic now i'm sure they hate that characterization but here is one big echo chamber about that it's a constant role to improve for mark zuckerberg but if we were to keep the f in for ang then mark zuckerberg needs to solve the children issue and they probably can't do that without a legal framework from the government that makes it illegal for kids to be on these platforms again i love this business love to recommend the stock to you but the third rail of teen suicide is one of the most important things in the world and it needs to be addressed and zuckerberg has to do his best to stop it remember the whole point for aang is that these companies adapt they pivot they're always changing to adjust to new circumstances it's time for facebook to prove it still belongs in the club but by the way i invented by making real efforts to protect the safety of its users i think they can pull it off i have faith but until they do we need to be more cautious don't miss a second of mad money follow at jim kramer on twitter have a question tweet cramer hashtag mad tweets send jim an email to madmoney at cnbc.com or give us a call at 1-800-743-cnbc miss something head to madmoney.cnbc.com shepherd smith here thanks for watching cnbc on youtube
