He puts the mask on when the Florida call came in 😭

Remember do the opposite of what Cramer says. If he says sell buy everything you can.

In the words of my accounting professor, "once you see a stock being talked about on TV, it's too late. The big moves have happened already."

so if everyone sells at once, then the stock market will crash right?

There are currently 40million unemployed US citizen and the numbers keep rising rapidly, so I intend to try investing as a contingency plan, I saw a news about an investor who makes atleast $200, 000 on a monthly basis and as a beginner I would appreciate any tips or guidelines on how to make better profit.

Apple announced they will be switching to their own processors for mac computers as well as a number of big updates to some of their profit leading products like AirPods and iPhone. I think it's reasonable that their stock has increased. The economy hasn't greatly affected their consumers and their production facilities remain okay.

Mad money = you get mad at his stock picks losing all your money

STOP CRAMER JUST TELL ME WHAT YOUR HEART

[deanalbertson]

Ok, so we sell some stock. Then what? You sit on cash for a year, while the Dow goes to 30, 000?

[traylenvincent]

Isn’t this the guy that said bear stearns was “fine” in 2008

Cramer says he was a stock broker at Goldman Sachs. How come FINRA has no record of him working as or even being licensed to be a stock broker...or work in any other capacity in the finance industry?

[tommavrakos]

Please answer this.a stock like virgin air, spce has 2 millio in revenue .01 cent per share earning.will never make money.sells for 17 a share.and a stock like sunw with a future, 63 million in revenue, $9 per share earnings, sells for 60 cents a share.why

[donkndave]

Take your winnings... OR you could put in some stops and save your profits.

[onzukasns]

Yes Cramer I will my dump positions during a correction and buy back at the top

[fujobu]

So sell and lock in 35% tax? Even though I don’t need the money? Or wait until next year and lock in only 15% long term cap gains rate? Even if stocks crash again, they’ll go back up and probably be higher by next year. So why sell and dilute my profits to then reinvest again. Unless I think the market crashes at least another 20% to make it financially worth it and I doubt that happens.

[dallaspilotcar]

glad someone is making money. I am down over 20k in my portfolio

[tejano]

That's exactly what I did today...dropped the zeros and picked up the heros.

[thebabscast]

I sold all my calls and I’m holding my equities

[haildahigh]

Love the face mask Cramer!!! Thank you so much for your info!
