Jim Cramer Summoned The Demon
When investing, one must be certain to never summon the demon of Black Monday. Yesterday, the CNBC host said:
“If the president doesn’t try to reach out and reward these countries and companies that play by the rules, then the 1987 scenario… the one where we went down three days and then down 22% on Monday, has the most cogency,” and “We will not have to wait too long to know. We will know it by Monday,”
We should all hope he is wrong, but unfortunately many shares are down big pre-market, including the Mag7 stocks like Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) and Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA).
But Buffett Has Words For Moments Like This
While both Jim and Buffett have seen a lot in the markets, I generally turn to The Oracle of Omaha for a calming word about how to handle volatility. Here is some of his best advice that rings truer today than ever. Perhaps his most famous quip is the most well suited, that we should
“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
and
“The best chance to deploy capital is when things are going down.”
Both of these are quite true at the moment, with the S&P down 13.7% YTD, and many growth stocks selling off further pre-market. Buffett is well positioned to take his own advice, too. Berkshire Hathaway has over $330b in cash on the balance sheet right now, roughly 30% of the market cap of the company.
If you’re planning on following suit, there are 3 dividend stocks that are already turning green ahead of the open tomorrow. But before you buy any of them, remember what Buffett has to say on the matter:
“If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.”
Good luck tomorrow.
