CNBC’s Jim Kramer said Friday that the current market’s bearing is a waiting game for a rally — and investors should be prepared for that time.
“You have to split your portfolio between cash and stocks that can thrive in a recession. … You have to accept the fact that we are just trying to stay in the game until times improve,” the Mad Money host said. .
“But when we get to the promised land, it will be worth it because that’s when the stocks will come back strong,” he added.
The market concluded a turbulent week of trading on Friday. While the market rebounded Wednesday afternoon following the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates by 50 basis points, losses on Thursday and Friday wiped out those gains. One basis point equals 0.01%.
Cramer said he will monitor the release of the April CPI next week. “If we get a weaker CPI figure, the market could go higher,” he said.
He also previewed next week’s results list. All earnings and income estimates are provided by FactSet.
