Jim Cramer picks his favorite travel, restaurant, live entertainment and gym stocks

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday gave investors a list of stocks he believes are best suited to Americans’ spending habits after navigating the Covid pandemic over the past three years.

“The biggest theme is the rise of this ‘life is too short’ mentality. People don’t want to waste their time anymore,” he said.

More specifically, according to Cramer, investors should keep an eye on travel, restaurant, live entertainment and gym stocks.

Here are his picks:

Delta Airlines, American Airlines And United Airlines

• “Just be careful and stick to the ones with good execution, means stay away Southwest Airlines – They are sick after a major holiday service breakdown,” he said.

Marriott International

• According to Cramer, the stock is still cheap despite running up since late September.

Hilton Worldwide

• “I’ve been roaming around Hilton Worldwide, which is expected to deliver an impressive 23% earnings growth this year,” he said.
