Jim Cramer: Stocks Won't Keep Going Up
by KATHERINE ROSS
Is this market baffling you? It's baffling Jim Cramer.
"The bond market made me do it. That's what I think when I see interest-rate sensitive stocks like the drugs and the utilities screaming on pretty much nothing, while the cyclicals and the techs get pummeled for the second day in a row," Cramer wrote in his Real Money column on Tuesday afternoon.
"There are so many new investors in stocks these days and for the most part, they have only seen stocks go higher. The last two days have been a rude awakening to those who joined the market in the last 10 months because they now realize what many old hands have known for years: Boy, can you lose a lot of money fast in stocks," he continued.
"Now, a lot of these newbies chose to buy stocks because they were exciting -- all those "the next Tesla (TSLA) " special purpose acquisition companies, with projections so bountiful that they almost had to be false.
(They got away with it, by the way, because under President Donald Trump, there was a ridiculous anything-goes approach to anyone and anything that wanted to come public.
This backdoor, this loophole burned people so badly that you can almost call it celebrity arson, as money managers teamed up with famous people to fleece you into buying concepts, not companies, but concepts that fizzled and burned your portfolio to a crisp.)"
