Cramer Urges Investors to Stay in Stocks as S&P 500 Falls 1% on Inflation Angst

Summary
Stocks slid again Wednesday—S&P 500 down just over 1%, Nasdaq off 1.9%—and Jim Cramer warned that bailing out now could leave investors missing the market’s eventual rebound.
JPMorgan data underpinned that case: $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 from 2005 to 2024 would end at less than half as much if an investor missed the 10 best trading days.
September consumer prices rose 0.6%, slightly above expectations, but Treasury yields reversed after an initial jump even as oil kept climbing, reinforcing Cramer’s view that inflation, rates and the Iran war are scrambling normal market signals.
Corporate earnings offered little guidance—Morgan Stanley shares fell nearly 3% after a decent quarter, while ASML dropped 4% despite strong results—leaving investors with little conviction about the Fed’s next move or the market’s direction.
