Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money, said Tuesday that panic is not a productive response when markets turn volatile.
The market’s got these incredible mood swings, so I say let’s be careful. That’s the best advice I can give you right now. That, and hold on tight because we’re experiencing one of those moments I mentioned in How to Make Money in Any Market, a moment where we could go down a lot and then rebound like crazy… I don’t want you shaking out, even as I don’t want you to trade your way into oblivion. No, thank you. And today was a true test of what’s ahead.

Cramer noted that anyone who rushed to sell early in the morning likely did not have a chance to buy back in once the major averages rebounded from session lows. He said that the opportunity rarely comes back on time. He added that, on the other hand, those who chose to sell into late-session strength need to be quick if they plan to return to the market. He said that a favorable opening the next day, especially if South Korea stabilizes, could mean there is no easy way back in.
Here’s the bottom line: If you think that you should be taking action on every drone, every missile, go trade in the predictions market. Get out of our house. That’s gambling. I prefer to focus on investing, and that’s less connected to the war than you might think and a lot more connected, guess what, to the performances of the companies themselves.

Oh, wow. No, we don’t want that. You don’t live in, you know, you can do a loan for a house, you can live in it… But First Solar is not good enough to be, it’s 16 times earnings, but and I like the company very much, but no. You’re going to have to take, you got, you have to cut your losses. I will not, I can’t tolerate…buying on… margin.
