What happened

Investors should stop fixating on how much a stock has already run and instead focus on how much upside may still remain, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday.

Why it matters

"You can't worry about where a stock's been, just focus on where it's going," the "Mad Money" host said.

Common ground

"That's becoming my watchword for this explosive market." His comments come as many of the market's biggest winners — particularly artificial intelligence and data center stocks — continue to rally even after already posting massive gains this year.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Cherry Picking, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
