    “I don’t like it when no one knows what’s causing certain stocks to go down. That’s how I felt about the cascading stocks of the ‘cloud kings’ Monday, including salesforce.com (CRM) , Adobe Systems (ADBE) , Splunk (SPLK)  , Red Hat (RHT)  and VMware (VMW) . I have developed enough sources at these companies to know that they fell because they were hitting 52-week highs and that they became intra-day sources of funds for lower-multiple semiconductor stocks,” says TheStreet’s Jim Cramer.

    Robinson has four reasons to believe AI and automation benefit everyone…

    Last month, the Asian Development Bank said automation created an extra 34 million jobs in the region. That’s because the tech lowered prices while improving quality for Asian goods. In a 2017 study, Deloitte found that automation in the United Kingdom destroyed 800,000 jobs in the past 15 years, but over that same period, it created 3 million jobs. And they paid an average of $13,500 more than the old ones. The Centre for European Economic Research predicts that by 2021, industrial employment in its home market of Germany will rise by 1.8%. The study says that’s because the tech is making those factories more competitive. And a June 2017 study sponsored by Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM) puts the economic growth of AI at $1.1 trillion by 2021. That’s just for cloud-based revenue in the customer relationship–management end of the cloud computing sector.


    And investors can ride this boom to enormous profits too.

    The stock market had a mildly positive day on Friday, and gains of between 0.1% and 0.3% were common for most of the major benchmark indexes. Without any outright hostility among leaders of the G-7 nations in their summit in Canada’s Quebec City, investors seemed content to go into the weekend with confidence in the prospects for the U.S. economy and its biggest businesses. Yet some individual companies had bad news that held their shares back from participating in the rally. Nabors Industries (NYSE:NBR), PolarityTE (NASDAQ:COOL), and Evolus (NASDAQ:EOLS) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.
