Cramer Urges Selling Half After Parabolic Runs as Micron Drops 12%

Summary
Jim Cramer told investors to sell half of any stock after a parabolic rally, arguing the rule protects gains before overheated moves reverse.
Micron fell 12%, Sandisk dropped 22% and Dell slipped 7% this week in what he called an AI-infrastructure unwind after huge earlier advances.
Cramer said those pullbacks do not break the long-term AI story, but they show how quickly animal spirits can fade and turn big paper gains into losses.
Arm Holdings and Corning were his examples of stocks that had become extended; he said he had already exited Arm and trimmed Corning at higher levels in late June.
The broader message: investors cannot time when parabolic moves end, and waiting through a three- or four-day unwind can erase a large share of profits.
