On Friday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer warned investors not to let their guard down when it comes to their portfolios and be ready to take advantage of good deals.
“Finally, you’re just going to feel sorry if you don’t buy anything on the big sell-offs. When the market finally gets oversold enough, though, that’s when you need to pounce,” Cramer said.
Stocks rallied on Friday but ended a volatile week lower, with losses spurred by warmer-than-expected economic data, the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis point rate hike and its hawkish rhetoric on inflation.
“We’re in a very emotional time that has a lot to do with how individual companies are doing and a lot to do with what Wall Street expects of them. The bottom line? Until those expectations are torn down, you shouldn’t feel . safe from anything,” he said.
Cramer said he is watching for the release of the consumer price index next week, as well as the scheduled speech from Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester that could further shake the market.
He also previewed next week’s earnings schedule. All earnings and revenue estimates are courtesy of FactSet.
