On Wednesday, Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, shared his thoughts on the market turmoil of the week and provided some valuable lessons. He emphasized that no one ever made a profit by panicking. Cramer pointed out how many investors had thrown in the towel during the downturn.
“Yeah, what happens is they get out and then it rallies big like today, and that’s the end. Bye bye. Learn to take the pain. Staying the course is how you make the biggest money.”

Cramer noted how, on Tuesday night, anyone holding stocks felt disheartened and as if they had lost substantial sums. He then pointed out that in contrast, those who were shorting the market, including many hedge funds, went to bed feeling victorious. However, Cramer had a different perspective and highlighted that some of the short-sellers, who had bet against the market just before the high opening on Wednesday, might have felt smart in the moment.
But he quickly reminded viewers that while bulls and bears can make money, he commented that “hogs, those who staged short were pigs, plain and simple. He then went on to say:
“The president likes, no, no, he loves drama. He’s gonna love drama for his whole darn presidency. That’s one constant from his first term.”
Cramer said that investors should not expect any certainty from the White House. Hoping for “certainty” from President Trump, he said, would be “kind of nuts” at this point. His advice to investors was simple: when the noise gets overwhelming, “just turn it off”.
“So let me give you the bottom line on this one of the most exciting days of our lives: I don’t think that things are all that difficult. They’re not COVID difficult. Now I think that you’re dealing with manmade crises. It turns out that one of these manmade crises was easily reversible, as we’ve said over and over again, and told you that when you see stocks in the blast zone rally, it pays to realize that good things, not just bad things can happen too.”

A caller inquired if Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) is a buy, hold, or sell in light of the tariffs and Cramer replied:
“Okay, listen. Go test drive one. Don’t own the stock. I really don’t have that much more to say about it because I do think that they went through so much money that it is daunting. How about that? Daunting is a nice word. I’m looking at my research director and he knows when I say daunting, what I really mean is horrible.”
Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) designs, engineers, and produces electric vehicles, including pickup trucks and SUVs. The company also provides services like financing, insurance, maintenance, and charging solutions. It is worth noting that on March 14, Cramer said:
“Okay, I know this is not what you want to hear, but I don’t care for the balance sheet. If they had a better balance sheet, then I would say fine. I know they’ve gotten some money from others, but it takes a long time to go public. People misunderstand how long it took for Tesla to be able to get there… I do worry about the financing.”
