Market commentator and CNBC host Jim Cramer– who warned that a potential market crash could be the worst one-day decline since 1987’s “Black Monday,”– urged long-term investors to stay the course amid the market turmoil caused by President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s sweeping tariff announcement.
Speaking on Squawk on the Street Thursday, Cramer advised investors to maintain their positions, emphasizing that, like during the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the market would eventually recover.
In 1987, US stock market plunged over 22% in a single day.
\u201cIf you were OK in 2007 and 2008, it came back,\u201d Cramer said, referencing the market\u2019s recovery after the financial crisis, as per CNBC report.
He acknowledged that it took until 2013 for investors to recoup their losses but insisted that those with a long-term outlook shouldn\u2019t panic. \u201cIf you need your money now, such as retirees or those nearing retirement, you\u2019re in limbo,\u201d Cramer added, but emphasized, \u201cDon\u2019t sell, just hold.\u201d
Reflecting on the current market drop, Cramer described it as a “price-to-earnings ratio lowering event,” suggesting that the decline is offering buying opportunities for savvy investors. He said, \u201cOnce that happens, then I think you really have to start thinking, \u2018That\u2019s interesting.\u2019 It will get there.\u201d Cramer noted that the S&P 500\u2019s forward P\/E ratio is just above 20, down from a trailing P\/E ratio closer to 25.
Cramer also shared a personal anecdote, recalling the advice he gave during the financial crisis. \u201cIn 2007, I went on the \u2018Today\u2019 show and said, \u2018If you need any money in the next five years, you should sell.\u2019 That was a great call,\u201d he said.
But Cramer also reflected on his later advice during the market\u2019s recovery, when he famously bought at the \u201cHaines bottom,\u201d a moment credited to late CNBC anchor Mark Haines, who called the market bottom on March 10, 2009.
While Cramer emphasized the difficulty of timing the market, he highlighted the danger of remembering only the sell call from such moments, not the buy call when the market was poised to rebound. “You have to be right twice: first on the sale, and second when you repurchase at the bottom,” Cramer cautioned.
His advice remained clear: Investors should not panic, but instead, view the market\u2019s current volatility as a potential buying opportunity in the long run.<\/div>\n
