Cramer Remix: Aim to make your portfolio at least 10% gold

Amid heightened market volatility stemming from the coronavirus outbreak, Jim Cramer says gold is a terrific investment.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer revealed secular growth tech stocks that investors can expect to work in a volatile market environment. The “Mad Money” host warned viewers that now is the time pay closer attention to companies’ balance sheets as the economy heads for a slowdown.

Tech stocks buys

The Trump administration’s proposal to counter the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak could create buying opportunities in the technology sector, CNBC’s said Tuesday.

In a stock market that has buckled to the fast-spreading COVID-19, Cramer added tech stocks that are immune to cyclical changes in the economy to his list of stocks that can be bought in this volatile market environment.

“That’s why I always eye the fastest-growing tech stocks in a slowdown. They bounce back quickly and often become leaders for the next leg up,” the “Mad Money” host said. “We’ll get that leg ... when we cure or contain COVID-19, even if their earnings could be a tad shy. The stocks are certainly down.”

Eye on the balance sheet

Cramer said it’s a critical time for investors to factor a company’s debt load into their investment decisions.

“In times of crisis, I always start with the balance sheet,” the host said, adding in “tough times, the balance sheet suddenly gets a lot more focus.”

So people buy gold to guy things after a collapse. But if I buy actual supplies, then I would be more likely to end up with gold in a disaster - iinstead of struggling to afford a ridiculously inflated metal due to our garage economy. Makes no sense!
