"Until rates go down — meaning until bond prices go up in price — this cascade's going to continue. Do I think it's overdone? Yes, absolutely. We bought stocks today for the charitable trust because they crushed the Nasdaq, and our provision is always that we buy stocks on these big bad days," he said."But if rates keep rising, we'll lose money on those stocks, because bonds are in charge, and for now, they aren't allowing stocks to rally.
Although Cramer admitted the bond market can seem boring, he asserted this bond market is far from it and has an important relationship with the stock market. As rates go higher, investors don't feel stocks are worth as much as they were when rates were lower, he said.as an example. The company reported what Cramer called an"okay" quarter Tuesday before the open, and by market close it had fallen nearly 8.5%.
