Investors dumping stocks on Fed policy are making a mistake, Jim Cramer says

PUBLISHED THU, MAR 18 20216:21 PM EDT

CNBC’s Jim Cramer defended the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged, saying it’s a mistake to dump growth stocks out of fear of rising inflation.“Higher rates are bad for the economy. Powell doesn’t want us to take that hit if we don’t have to,” the “Mad Money” host said.“I think Jay Powell’s right to focus more on full employment than low inflation ... I bet he’ll be right about the transient nature of the commodity price increases,” he said.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Thursday that it’s a mistake to dump stocks in reaction to the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave the interest rate unchanged.

He defended Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who the day prior maintained the central bank’s goal to keep short-term borrowing rates low to support the U.S. economic recovery, even if inflation picks up in the near term.

“Higher rates are bad for the economy. Powell doesn’t want us to take that hit if we don’t have to,” the “Mad Money” host said. “He doesn’t want his legacy to be botching the recovery … [not after he] acted so aggressively last year to keep the economy from crashing.”

The Fed slashed rates last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Now many market watchers are trying to anticipate the Fed’s next move as the economy gains traction.

Mandates put in place to slow the spread of Covid-19 upended the economy and threw the country’s unemployment rate into double-digit range. The jobless rate has since fallen to 6.2% as of February, and Powell said the Fed would prioritize giving the labor market room to recover.

“I think Jay Powell’s right to focus more on full employment than low inflation ... I bet he’ll be right about the transient nature of the commodity price increases,” Cramer said.

“Wall Street freaked out last year when Powell cut rates aggressively, and they’re freaking out again now that he’s decided to keep rates” low, he added.

While a low-interest rate environment is good for stocks, not all stocks are created equal, Cramer said.

Industrial businesses are winners when rates are low, while growth names — particularly those in tech that trade on future earnings expectations — are getting hit because those later profits are not as attractive if inflation eats into their value, he said.

The Fed now projects gross domestic product to improve by 6.5% this year, up from a 4.2% projection it made in December. As the U.S. economy reopens and more consumers venture outside of the home more, cyclical companies, such as travel, will stand to benefit greatly, Cramer said.

“The Fed’s basically saying, ‘Party on, industrials,’ which causes the hedge funds to buy them hand over fist,” the host said.

“Problem is, if they want to buy the banks or the smokestack stocks … they need to sell something else,” he said, such as “the high-growth tech stocks that they always dump, and that’s called the hedge fund playbook.”

If you invest long enough in Bursa, you know the joke "Bursa guaranteed profits 101: go against EPF". Jokes aside. The rationale behind the joke is that EPF would have frequent in-out movements, and many ikan bilis tend to follow EPF. It's like tourists. A goreng stock is like tourism place, we love tourists, even thou they come and go, but the merrier the better.

But for blue chips, it's like our home, imagine tourists keep coming in and out, it's disturbing. Like many, I have separate portfolios for short term and long term trades. I hold PBB for long term, I myself would love to see EPF going out and not coming back in because there will be other funds that would take their positions. But EPF will not do that and we have to live with the frequent dispose-acquire things.

It seem like some forumers are very concern with the daily rise or drop of PBB. My 2 cents are if you hold for long term, don't worry. The engine has not even stated. If you are short term traders or even day traders, just go to other stocks that are much more "goreng-dable" like Dataprep, GFM, Inari, Dnex etc. PBB is just never ideal for day and short trades.

If you hold for long term and you are still worry, my advises are I know Bursa investors don't seem rational but
1. CIMB Poorly performed in loan segment is still higher than pre QR.
2. AmBank pending 1mdb settlement also climb back after dip.

PBB doing nothing wrong and operations everything efficiently and its price is still near the range post QR. No worries.

@beaten3026 You are absolutely right with your description and information. That's why PBB forum is the most popular and talked about bank forum. Go to other bank forums and they are relatively d. e. a. d and quiet.

Agree with @beaten2016, @Pgraduate123, & @stevee.

However, more can be done than just being keyboard warriors and story tellers.
Innovative ideas, approaches, and solutions are needed to overcome investors' challenges.
Yes, we are small flies/fries, but I subscribe to the adage of there's a will, there's a way.

50 years ago, you buy a blue chip & keep it in the safe. Now, you have a cds account without scrip.
Participants, procedures, & processes evolve. Players/retailers play a part in this process to push the price up by what they do or not do. Aside from the performance results of the company/principal, the players include IBs, shorties, agencies/EPF, etc.

Since the drastic drop in interest rates, many depositors have become share retailers and this is the new normal permanently. Retailers will or have already become a major player with an over 40% - 60 % split with institutional funds. Over time it will become 60% retailer 40% institutional split.

So, just waiting for co.'s QR, and looking at IBs, shorties, agencies, and retailers buy & sell may work 40 years ago, but it is inadvertantly an unreasonable, unwise, and unworkable model and move to follow now in 2021 with our hard-earned money.

Now, you have stock platforms with chat forums - PBB to learn, share, and contribute.
Going forward will be to advance retail participation and power in driving prices forward.

Well said all. My parents bought blue chip shares like PBB with spare money. That’s for their spending money when old. They passed down the saving principles and the shares to us. We also hold tight tight. Any spare money also go buy more Pb shares as well as some speculation. No need to go crazy over a short term up or down. Looking forward to the PBB ang pow also.

@thye82 PBB Founded 1966 Listed KLSE 1967
Market Capitalization RM$ 82.107 BILLION. Issued & paid-up 19.411Billion shares.
International Operations in China, HK, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka

Aim too low, you may just miss it over 10 cts. PBB is a valuable-value buy-investment vehicle.
Whether $4.20 or more, it is a great buy because when normalcy returns toward 3Q, rerating is likely to occur & by year-end 4Q, price may probably touch 4.80 - 5.25.

Look at potential and upside bias and not so much at entry point, as long as you don't chase.
Look towards potential point, as down the road PBB gathers more moving momentum upwards.

This is as good as they come in M'sia.
A great company with a good management and hard-working team to serve you.

@Mizi1. Not trying to be boastful here, but if pbb slows down in growth, all other banks will be even worse. You need to study the history of growth in all banks to find out.

And yes, pbb is a safe and superb investment for long term. This you are right!

Good morning, pbb is my holding that has least worry. Long term holders will win all. Just imagine you bought at 2018 to 2019 peak also, you are about to recover all your losses in 2020 if you are long term holders. As long as I get good dividend, short-term price down or up is not affecting me because I am not going to sell. If big drop, then I will top up again. As long as you are buying at big dip, your average price will be always low, then your dividend yield is always high. Hold tight tight....
