Episode notes
Big Moves Can Be Noise
- Not all big single-day moves are meaningful; some are noise from technical overbought or oversold conditions.
- Cramer stresses separating signal from noise to avoid false conclusions.
Watch Counterintuitive Reactions
- Pay attention when stocks rise on bad news or fall on good news; these counterintuitive moves signal turning points.
- Use such anomalous reactions to identify bottoms or tops.
Trim Gradually To Lock Gains
- Trim about 20% of a position after a 20% gain, then trim another 5–10% at the next 20% gain.
- Keep discipline so you can buy back into winners when they pull back.
