Jim Cramer breaks down the recent market rally and what is behind it

'Mad Money' host Jim Cramer looks at today's rally and the drivers leading the major indexes to record closes.

[@Muller_Andr]

I am regretting not taking advantage of Nvidia's boom ever since but still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $150k maturing soon, i plan investing in the stock market. What stocks should I look into to average down in and safely grow my money?

[@Jennapeters144]

Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.

[@EmmaFritz90]

I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary-advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and MBS, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 128%.

[@EmmaFritz90]

I agree 100% the current terrain is no joke for the average person and even the elitist investors make mistakes during inflection poiints. Get a fa who can be fiduciary to your longterm with proven strategies. That's why I have Monica as my estate planner.

[@Muller_Andr]

Your advisor must be really good, how I can get in touch with them as my porfolio isnt doing so well.

[@EmmaFritz90]

Monica Mary Strigle’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@Vivienedouglass]

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

[@AmithKaury]

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.

[@Jamesjerome0]

The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.

[@kurtKking]

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@Jamesjerome0]

Actually its a Lady. Yes my go to person is a ‘MICHELE KATHERINE SINGH '. So easy and compassionate Lady. You should take a look at her work.

[@kurtKking]

Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her up, to schedule a call. many thanks

[@HodgeChris]

Sold my APPL before it tanked, will buy at next major drop. I’d definitely need to make use of the $250k liquidity elsewhere. So what should I be looking at? Large cap or small cap stocks? Maybe crypto?

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

It’s going to be a wild year for these sectors, so you should def. invest in crypto. 60% of my portfolio is spread across tech stocks, crypto and Crypto/Gold ETF

[@KaurKhangura]

Yes, my asset manager advised I spread further into mutual funds and crypto Etf and boy am I glad I did. The whole idea is: Don’t get too greedy and also to exit at the right time, so generally I do find having an adviser very helpful.

[@Pamela.jess.245]

could you recommend some good advisers? don’t get me wrong, I already have an asset manager for my $5m portfolio, but he seems not to know much about crypto.

[@KaurKhangura]

‘’Colleen Rose Mccaffery’’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment

[@Pamela.jess.245]

Cheers buddy. Smart and great looking lady. Hopefully will my time. I left messages, was told to expect feedback. Thank you.

[@Joseph-zw3sb]

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

[@Sarah-ui3vd]

Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

[@MileyHumphrey-ql4jp]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@Charles-wp9dd]

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

[@MileyHumphrey-ql4jp]

“Angela Lynn Shilling’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@Charles-wp9dd]

I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.

[@EmanuelAmbriz-ml4nk]

Thanks Mate, the sad truth is that no one has a clue, we all react to what happens as it happens and try to analyse it but can’t predict an iota of what is going to unfold in the markets… content creators are like amplifiers, when times are good they affirm it and try to tell you why it’s good and that it’s looking bullish but then all of a sudden the market turns bearish and everyone affirms it again and try to analyse why… it’s so sad that many are so powerless and it's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 19Bitcoin in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Kerrie Farrell, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape....

[@swayhulio]

As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable..

[@TedStalets]

Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience..

[@PatchettStalls]

On the grand scheme of things, once you understand the potential of trad!ng, you can bet on it but I think people need the education to fully understand...

[@stevensmiddlemass2072]

Market highs can sometimes be followed by corrections, but predicting the timing and extent of it is challenging. I've heard some analysts talk about a 'massive' correction. It makes me wonder if it's time to adjust my $2M portfolios or maybe even consider some defensive investments.

[@alicegomez7232]

Look for stocks that have paid steady, increasing dividends for years (or decades), and have not cut their dividends even during recessions. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on equities to acquire

[@chrisbluebird5037]

I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $2m with the help of my advisor from an initial $350k investment.

[@lucasanderson8993]

impressive gains! how can I get your advisor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now

[@chrisbluebird5037]

Lauren Marie Ehlers is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@charlieb.5760]

Yea Wapner is a terrible interruptor during the Halftime show.

[@gordongekko2781]

OMG, Tom Lee is literally one of the worst guests on CNBC. I've reached the point where I turn off CNBC whenever he's on because he ALWAYS says the same thing. Here, let me give you an advance readout of his future appearances: Next month he'll say, "The market is going higher because _______." The month after that he'll say, "The market is going higher because _______." The month after that he'll say, "The market is going higher because _______." Don't believe me? Pick any date you like, a month from now, six months from now, a year from now, and I'll bet you $100 that Tom Lee is bullish. I don't criticize him for being bullish, I criticize CNBC for having a repeat guest who never has a wavering opinion. And, professor Jeremy Siegel is just as bad. A guest who is always bullish or always bearish is a pretty worthless guest.

[@william53]

Thank you!

[@gordongekko2781]

The problem is the stock market is already 20-30% overpriced by historical metrics, yet it keeps going higher. We know how this is going to end. The same way it always does when we over-inflate the market. Here we go again. It's like the traders on Wall Street just can't help themselves.

There is always inflation. Your whole life there has been inflation. You didnt notice it as much as you do now. Prices will never be lower than they are now. It’s how economies can grow. Otherwise you have Japan problems.

[@gregorymilla9213]

Capitalism is hard !

[@TheLewant2]

You're not afraid that the float today was 3x the amt of shares available? Or that it was short contracts pushing down the value, not to mention the pauses and halts to allow more puts and sells from people? Some of us do data for fun... AMC would CRUSH THE MARKET and ruin ALL CORRUPTION. Goodluck with that.

Irrational Exuberance?

[@gordongekko2781]

paraphrasing Cramer: "Everything is going up! Even mutually exclusive sectors are going up in tandem! Dogs and cats are lying together! Tulip bulbs are making new record highs!" It could go on like this for awhile, but that sure sounds like peak optimism to me. I expect the market will keep going higher, but the next significant drop will be a doozy. By my favorite whole-market metrics, the S&P is already 20-30% overpriced versus recent (past twenty years) historical norms.

[@davidjackson3178]

This guy trips over his own words

[@PondTrading]

Cramer actually identifies the market as it lays… index buyers and buybacks continuously reduce float and regularly add liquidity. The entire apparatus is supported by 401ks and paychecks, every dip an opportunity in the long run. But most importantly, its all about sentiment and aggression. Identifying aggressive buyers and a positive story puts you on the right side of the trade. Been a good run. Looking forward to another pullback opportunity.

[@gordongekko2781]

Perhaps I'm too old school in my philosophy, but don't you think there is a limit to how stretched valuations can become? At some point doesn't it snap back to normal? Granted, the Fed won't allow the market to draw down more than 20%, but I would argue that is a big part of the problem. Don't get me wrong, I still trade stocks, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable if markets weren't artificially high all the time.

[@PondTrading]

@@gordongekko2781 Simply, there is no limit. The market is not a valuation engine, it is a retirement vehicle designed to increase the value of certain assets over a long period. The only valuation the market respects is the price a buyer is willing to pay. And index funds/401ks do not care what price they are paying.

CPI increase from April 2016 to April 2020 was less than 8%. The CPI increase from April 2020 to April 2024 was more than 22%. So much for the joy of slowing inflation. Does that mean your dollar is worth 20% less than it was 4 years ago? No wonder people look at thes numbers and say - ok but McDonald’s meal is not affordable anymore. Cramer is right on, the supply of quality stocks is one thing. Then the money feds printed has made it to the large corporations showing more profits and cash to buy their own stock. So, yes the rally is not a surprise but it is just not a simple bull market as it used to be.
