Jim Cramer: 12 gifts I want the stock market to deliver in 2020

He expects more to come.

“That’s why I’m going to give you the list … of a dozen endowments I’m hoping for, because there are, after all, 12 days of Christmas and I want my true love, the market, to give them all to me,” Cramer told. “These are all a bit oddball and some [are] sappy, but I mean them, and I want you to have these presents, too.”
