☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: How to handle a short-term rally
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors shouldn't lose their heads when the market starts to rally. "When the stock market's had a big short-term run—short term—don't get carried away by the optimism," he said. Instead, he said, it's wise to sell part of one's position when a rally starts and leave the door open to sell more if the rally continues. It's foolish to buy and hold during the best of times and the worst of times, he added. He said if you hang on to winning stocks for too long, your gains may evaporate and then you've completely missed the rally anyway.

☆ Biden to announce new executive action protecting immigrant spouses and children of US citizens

Under current federal law, an undocumented person who enters the United States and marries a US citizen must first request parole before applying for legal residency. Lawful permanent residency, commonly known as obtaining a green card, allows immigrants to live and legally work in the United States. Some Democrats in the Senate praised Biden’s executive order while those in vulnerable seats tried towing a line. Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat in a vulnerable seat, also declined to say if he supports Biden’s executive order. However, he did praise Biden’s executive order from earlier this month aimed at restricting border crossings.

Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement that he would activate the city’s heat emergency plan starting on Tuesday. “The first heat wave of the season is here, and New York City has a plan to beat the heat — but we want all New Yorkers to have a plan as well,” Mr. Adams said. The city’s Heat Vulnerability Index — an effort spearheaded by the health department in conjunction with Columbia University — analyzes the neighborhoods that face the most danger during a heat wave. If everybody’s doing it, you’re multiplying it by millions.”Are heat waves in New York City becoming more common? The only heat wave to hit New York City last year happened in September, said David Stark, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service of New York.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Too many gains can spell danger
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

To CNBC's Jim Cramer, there is such a thing as making too much money. "The best time to figure out if you're making too much money, meaning you're taking on a dangerous amount of risk, is during a big market-wide rally," he said. While admitting that he's not the most conservative investor, Cramer stressed that taking on too much risk is unwise. A portfolio that beats roaring averages can be another indicator that you're taking on needless risk, he said. "That will help you crush the averages in a rally, but it will also get you crushed by your losses in a sell-off.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Use rallies to raise some cash
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors it's important to use big rallies to prepare for the down days. In other words, you should raise some cash when your stocks are on a roll. "The next time we get a big up day or two, please, I'm begging you, use the strength to raise some cash," he said. "You might not know it, but without cash, your portfolio has zero flexibility, and the best time to raise cash is when the market is on fire." But this does not mean investors should sell everything during a rally, Cramer said.

They have also studied more than 40,000 couples who are about to begin couples therapy. Through their research they learned that just because a fight is reoccurring doesn't mean it has to be detrimental. "So when we think about fighting right, whether talking about a perpetual problem or a solvable problem, what is the biggest mistake that the disasters of relationships make?" John Gottman said at a TED Talk in April. Some problems are more situational while others seem to linger, but the healthy way to handle them is the same.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Don’t buy during a rally

CNBC's Jim Cramer vehemently advised against buying stock during a market rally, even though it may be tempting to do so. Cramer said he wants investors to take advantage of rallies, but buying when the market is hot means they're letting the rally take advantage of them. Rallies are a moment when raising cash is essential, but spending it is prohibited, he said. Instead, Cramer said investors should keep a cool head and come to terms with possibly missing out on buying a stock that's up big. "If you want to buy a stock and the market's just had a remarkable run, do me a favor and tell yourself you missed it.

The Biden administration is taking executive action to protect undocumented spouses of American citizens — a move that would shield about 500,000 immigrants from deportation. The White House announced the election-year policy Tuesday, framing it as "new action to keep families together." Lawmakers have been briefed on the plan and at least some have been invited to the White House for the announcement, sources said. The program would also make it easier for some undocumented immigrants to get a green card and a path to U.S. citizenship. Sources also say that the undocumented spouses would be allowed to obtain work permits on a case-by-case basis.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Be tough on your portfolio during a rally
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

It may seem counterintuitive, but to CNBC's Jim Cramer, one of the best times to scrutinize your portfolio is during a rally. "If the fundamentals aren't changed, if the company hasn't improved, then it might have gotten too expensive as a stock because of the rally," he said. "So, when the market's roaring, give your stocks a hard time, please, hold them to a higher standard. And during a big rally, winning stocks become more expensive and less desirable because the risk and reward ratio becomes worse, he explained. "Because the whole point of owning stocks is that you're supposed to sell them when they go higher to make money."

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Don’t fret over news already baked into a stock

CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors shouldn't obsess over news that's already widespread across Wall Street, but instead pinpoint trends not yet accepted in the broader market zeitgeist. "If you want to be a better investor, don't tear your hair out fretting about the same things as everybody else," he said. "Instead, you should worry about the things other people don't seem to care about, because the real threat is the one that you don't see coming." It's often irrational and can make mistakes and ignore important pieces of information, Cramer said. However, the efficient market hypothesis provides a rough, but helpful, guideline for investing, he said.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Be wary of the IPO cycle
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-17 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer said to be cautious when the market is flooded with initial public offerings because the influx of new stocks will inevitably drag the market down. "The IPO cycle tends to start out strong and generate a lot of euphoria, but then it burns out and all the new stock supply can really weigh on the market." These stocks eventually ended up getting crushed, Cramer said, with him pointing out that many plunged "more than 90% from peak to trough." According to Cramer, all of these new stocks overwhelmed Wall Street — there was too much supply and not enough demand. "I've said it a million times: the stock market is like any other market, it's all about supply and demand," he said.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said part-time investors shouldn't make themselves crazy aiming for perfection. "You don't need to be perfect at managing your money, you just need to be good enough, and that means you shouldn't waste your time trying to anticipate every little gyration in the market," he said. To Cramer, short-term trading isn't the best way for most at-home investors to make money. He suggested that investors continue to carefully research every stock in their portfolio so they know exactly what they own. But Cramer stressed that investors should never discount the power of an index fund, as it's a relatively easy way to make money.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Sometimes market moves are just ‘noise’

CNBC's Jim Cramer warned investors about taking every individual stock move to heart. He said these sudden moves are often arbitrary, and suggested investors focus on a company's underlying business. "Sometimes you can extrapolate a great deal from a big move in an individual stock, but more often it's telling you something you already know or it's just noise that means nothing." While it's difficult to decipher this "noise," Cramer conceded that irregular moves can be valid signals. Other times, the action in the stock is noise, not a signal, and you'll end up feeling very foolish if you take your cue from that kind of action."

To CNBC's Jim Cramer, investors shouldn't just bask in their gains when their stocks start to do well. It's important to understand why a certain company soared, and wins aren't always for reasons you think they are, he said. "When you have a win, don't lazily assume that you simply got it right — think about what it means if you were merely in the right place at the right time and please proceed with caution." But by 2023, those stocks collapsed, and Cramer said it was not due to decreased popularity in the companies. "Maybe you're right — people are right about stocks every day," he said.

The driver shouted from behind the wheel: “Are you the ones whose business was closed by the government? I want a picture with you!”Bounding out of the car, the man pulled close to Corina Hernández, 44, one of the owners of the restaurant. “We are all outraged,” he told her. Corina and her sister Elys Hernández have emerged as unlikely political folk heroes just as Venezuela is heading into its most competitive election in years.

After a big week for stocks related to artificial intelligence, CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors it may be time to ring the register for many of these companies that have seen massive gains. "Remember, this remarkable, albeit limited, narrow, year — you don't want to spoil it by refusing to ring the register on every one of your stocks that may be AI." Cramer reviewed the significant surges in the AI sector this week, starting with Apple's record-breaking run after the company announced new AI programming that could boost iPhone sales. "We know we've been feeling a little greedy, and it's quite unbecoming — when you have big gains, you need to take something off the table," Cramer said. "I am still a true believer in Nvidia, but I don't want to be oblivious to the scale of this massive run."

“I believe he’ll be a pro-life president in the future also.”Many senior Trump administration alumni and allies are now mapping out and drafting policy options for a second Trump term. A second Trump term would also put back in place and expand restrictions on Title X grants – federal funds for public and nonprofit groups that provide family planning. Resurrecting these actions in a second Trump would almost entirely be up to the discretion of whomever he appoints to lead the relevant federal agencies. With Roe v. Wade’s protections erased, anti-abortion activists would like a second Trump administration to push harder than it did before – especially in restricting access to mifepristone. Abortion rights advocates worry he could play an outsize role shaping abortion restrictions in a potential second Trump administration.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday explained that Apple does not need to chase enterprise customers to see gains, saying it does well to target individual consumers. Apple shares pulled back 1.9%on Monday after the company unveiled new artificial intelligence offerings at its developers conference. The stock has suffered this year as investors worried about iPhone sales in China and the tech giant's progress on the AI front. "They're not chasing the enterprise, and these Apple haters have no idea how to evaluate a tech company that's like that." Users will likely need to upgrade their phones to take full advantage of Apple Intelligence, which could help drive sales.
