Jim Cramer Flags Concerns Over Salesforce Dreamforce Event
CNBC's Jim Cramer raised eyebrows about risks facing Salesforce's flagship Dreamforce conference and what it could mean for CRM stock.
If you follow Jim Cramer — and plenty of people do, even if just to bet against him — you know he doesn't shy away from voicing concerns about big corporate events. His latest worry?

Cramer's flag is worth noting even if you're not a die-hard viewer of Mad Money.
