CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday warned investors not to let their guard down when it comes to their portfolios and be ready to take advantage of good deals.
“Ultimately, 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 gained on Friday but finished a volatile week lower, with losses spurred by hotter-than-expected economic data, the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis point rate hike and its hawkish rhetoric on inflation.
“We’re in a wildly emotional moment that has a lot to do with how individual companies are faring and a lot to do with what Wall Street expects of them. The bottom line? Until these expectations are wrenched lower, you shouldn’t feel safe in anything,” he said.
Cramer said that he’s watching for the consumer price index release next week, along with slated speeches from Cleveland Fed president Loretta Mester that could further shake the market.
He also previewed next week’s schedule of earnings. All earnings and revenue estimates are courtesy of FactSet.
