CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Wednesday advised investors to dam out the market bears, and use their missteps to bolster their very own portfolios.
“Their mistaken selling creates opportunities so that you can buy the dips. You’ll want to have conviction that the sellers are flawed and also you’re right. You’ll want to consider in your view, not the view the tape gives you — that the bears offer you,” he said.
Stocks rose on Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in a press conference following the central bank’s February meeting that inflation has began to cool down, though he didn’t indicate that a pause in rate hikes would come anytime soon.
The market’s gains reversed earlier declines that got here on the back of a quarter-point rate hike. Cramer said that while the selling would have made sense last 12 months, when inflation was still skyrocketing and the central bank was aggressively raising rates, a bearish approach to trading doesn’t work anymore.
“It now not is smart once the Fed says the speed hikes are working and we’re pretty far along within the tightening cycle, at the same time as they’re still seeing some wage inflation,” he said.
Cramer also reiterated his stance that the market is in bull mode —meaning that when market bears do get scared into selling, investors should pounce on the possibility to purchase.
“Those that keep fighting the bull, as they did today, think they’re in a bear market, they usually get trampled. Today was an actual trampler, and the bears — they still do not know what hit them,” he said.
