GoKawiilJim Cramer urges investors to stay in market despite volatile session
CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors should resist pulling out of stocks despite a sharp selloff in which the S&P 500 fell about 1%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.9% and the Dow closed slightly lower. He cited a hotter-than-expected inflation report, swinging Treasury yields, rising oil prices tied to the Iran conflict, and mixed earnings from Morgan Stanley and ASML as evidence of the market's unpredictability.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Cramer's warning rests on JPMorgan data showing that missing just the ten best trading days over two decades would roughly halve an investor's returns, suggesting that reactive selling during turbulence can be costlier than riding out losses. His comments also frame the Fed's next move as a difficult balancing act, where either hiking rates or holding steady carries distinct economic risks, according to Cramer's own analysis.
- Major indexes fell sharply Wednesday despite some strong corporate earnings.
- JPMorgan data shows missing the ten best market days over 20 years roughly halves investor returns.
- Cramer links inflation, oil prices and the Iran conflict to the Fed's uncertain next policy move.
