“I’m not advocating staying in the market, so much as I want you to take some losses and swap into better stocks that can spring back because their losses are just collateral damage. … The ones that can make things, send you back money,” the “Mad Money” host stated.
“I say you put some cash to work now in the tangible, growth-at-a-reasonable-price stocks. … As for the former high-fliers, if you still own them, I recommend selling them on a snapback and upgrading your portfolio into something that better fits this difficult moment,” he included.
Stocks plunged on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average toppling 1.99% while the Nasdaq Composite fell 4.29%. The S&P 500 dropped 3.2%, sinking listed below 4,000 for the very first time in more than a year.
“When [the markets] get the last of the leaders … in this case the oil and gas stocks, that typically indicates we’re much closer to the bottom than the top,” Cramer stated.
He included that while there are a number of sort of sellers whose activity is presently roiling the marketplace, sell-offs by business and their investors who were required to let go of their shares bring chances for financiers to get shares of formerly costly stocks for inexpensive costs.
“You’ve got to view this as a blessing, not a curse, if you have cash. These forced sellers put pressure on the whole market, so you can take advantage of them to get some terrific bargains. … You can get to your preferred levels much faster thanks to these sellers because they’re creating great value,” he stated.
