Episode notes
Speculation Can Dominate Market Direction
- Speculative flows, including Bitcoin and many ETFs, can drive market direction even when fundamentals look strong.
- Cramer warns that when new money is absent, markets struggle to sustain rallies despite recent gains.
Strong Rally On Light Volume Implies Short Dips
- The market rallied nearly 4% last week on lighter volume, which makes a short-term dip natural and not necessarily alarming.
- Cramer notes stocks like Home Depot fell sharply then regained levels above where they reported, signaling resilience.
Buy Home Depot On An Easy Fed
- Buy Home Depot when the Federal Reserve eases because housing and consumer spending benefit from lower rates.
- Also buy General Motors as an inflation-friendly cyclical play during an easy Fed.
