We recently published a list of 10 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar Amid Market Volatility. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Waste Management Inc (NYSE:WM) stands against other stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar amid market volatility.
Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC commented on the reasons behind the recent selloff and said the market correction isn’t always healthy. He continues to believe the key reason behind the latest market drop was President Trump’s volatile tariff policies.
“I think Trump’s core thesis is right, our trading partners have taken advantage of our country for decades and it’s worth trying to set that right, but it’s a very big but, Trump’s approach has been way too erratic, it’s terrified both the stock market and the broader economy, not just the stock market, the broader economy. Most of the substantive tariff news comes in the form of postings on Truth Social, they come fast and furious, they’re incredibly important, they’re incredibly contradictory. These posts involve hundreds of billions of dollars if not trillions of dollars and more importantly hundreds of thousands of jobs, including yours. The Mercurial postings, the scatter shot approach to trade policy is the approximate cause of the correction.”
