Jim Cramer on Ralph Lauren (RL) After Earnings: ‘I Salute Them’

We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio for Q4: Top 11 Stocks to Buy and Sell. Since Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:RL) ranks 9th on the list, it deserves a deeper look.

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about the importance of using short-term rallies to your advantage. He said that investors should know when to take the chips off the table.

“The idea that you should buy and hold through both the best of times and worst of times is probably incredibly foolish, with only very few exceptions,” Cramer said.

Cramer said that if the stock you bought is going higher and higher and you keep resisting the urge to take some profits, you won’t make any actual money from these gains if the stock comes down later paring all these profits. This seems straightforward but the idea of buying low and selling high is easier said than done, Cramer said.

“Don’t get carried away by the optimism. Instead, keep your head on straight, check your emotions, focus on long term and think about ringing the register, especially on stocks that might be getting too high,” Cramer added.
