Me jimcramer the internet gives you the ability to comparison shop for anything younger people reach for whats on sale or what can create the most exciting experience those choices are rolling the whole market a lot of investors fail to understand the implications, especially on big rotation days like weve been having the dow dipped 109 points after being strong for a while s p declined nasdaq dropped 1. 9 for those who have been struggling with that it didnt used to be this way. In the old days children bought the same brands their parents bought to deviate was to disobey. Or question the judgment of your elders that was a big nono it sure made stock picking easy, didnt it . Whoever had royalty won, those were the stocks you wanted to buy, those were the days now its the absolute opposite now nothings etched in stone and consumers, well, they often see big brands as ripoffs. Of course, some of us are throwbacks im a throwback. I use old spice deodorant, my grandpa used it. I got an Am
Lower. Okay i know i say this stuff every night all right . Maybe you think i sound like a broken record but the truth is im always repeating this mantra because of days like today where events can overwhelm you and gameplan cant survive even a minute of battle with the enemy, short sellers, s p furlt sellers, etf guys or fellow individual stock shareholders who decided to capitulate. Today a session with the dow down eked out another record five points at close s p another record nasdaq lost after being down this is object lesson day. Use todays incredible turnaround as way to show you how to set up your own battle plan at home for this unusual volt tillity admittedly im a bit of an extreme coach, exgame coach but i know i can teach you i can teach you. Let me give you setup. 2 00 a. M. I get alert on cell phone from unilever. Looked like bad miss to me it was release, nothing good. Gone to bed two hours before that slept in until 3 30.

Through the last seven days, we can even relax as the weak gdp number. Im ready to put this week to bed and move on our game plan for the next one. Monday we hear from advanced microdevices, amd, a stock that was picked very high up in yesterdays very fun seemingly fit draft. And just like the markets like of new tech stocks, i dont know how this one will react even in the best of quarters. Intels numbers were widely panned last night. As i have repeatedly said theres nothing wrong with the company amd, the stock just has the stigma of running from 25 to 15 back in february and has been biding its time at 13 and change. The market has fallen out of love with last years darlings. Thats been a continue wall theme. Earlier we talked about cardinal health, a lousy business and more of a play on hostile supplies. No one paid any attention to this acquisition at the time, i bet that changes when cardinal reports and talks about it. Tuesday morning, we get numbers from cvs, which has been one
A concrete company says business is booming, two Home Builders rave about business. Broad Line Department stores just dont see it. Today the bulls clearly won the day. Dow gained 140 points, s p climbing 8 . Still recovering from that last day that was ugly. But theres no denying that this is a tough environment to navigate. Throw in the white houses seeming inability to get back on track after this 24hour leakathon, and you cant be sure where you stand in this market. Thats why going up to the feds june immediating, were going to have to hang on all the words of the fed.

Bulls, remember you want the hawks to win out because we need the fed to bless the economy. The only Quarterly Report we get on monday, ajbilent, a, that compa if they disappoint, corporate buyers are out there. One of the one rum
That old paradigm of political gridlock coupled with slow growth and, most importantly, cynicism. Cynicism, which also combined to produce hohum parks like today. Dow spliping seven points. S p inched up 0. 19 . Nasdaq advanced 0. 48 even after days of declines concluding with yesterdays crescendo of selling. Worst day of 2017. Now, look, ive been adamant, and you know that if youve watched this show, that this rally hasnt just been about the power of donald j. Trump to effect change in washington.
