In this article, we will look at everything Jim Cramer said about the oversold market as we provide a recap of Mad Money’s latest episode. The host of Mad Money said Thursday that buying stocks during periods of intense volatility is the way to go, based on stock market history.

Sometimes you have to hold your nose and buy. It’s a tough thing. Often, you get the timing wrong, meaning you’ll immediately lose money as your stocks keep falling. But when the averages come down too far, too fast, history says you need to be a buyer because when the market gets oversold, it will inevitably bounce. You know what? I think that’s what happened today. The averages spent most of the session down, down big, before rebounding hard in the afternoon as the price of oil pulled back from its highs.

Cramer called the turnaround a comeback that was tied in part to the pullback in oil, though he added that the more important driver was how deeply oversold the market had become. While he said he cannot be sure the afternoon rebound will carry forward, he said he relies on historical patterns and sentiment indicators, as history tends to remain consistent over time.

Here’s the bottom line: History says that when we get this oversold, there will be a meaningful rally, something lasting. I’m going with history. It’s too stark, too accurate to do otherwise.

Jim Cramer Analyzed 13 Stocks While the Market Was Oversold

13. Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL)

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) is one of the stocks mentioned during the show, as we cover everything Jim Cramer said about the oversold market. Cramer called the company’s CEO’s track record “terrific,” as he stated:

The key was to buy Dell small and then keep buying it as it got cheaper. That’s how you get a better cost basis. You buy what I call a pyramid style, cheaper and bigger. You had to ask yourself if anything was really wrong with that sickening decline down to $110. But if you did the homework, you would’ve known that everything was good. Frankly, if you just watched the show, you would’ve known.

If you waited to buy the stock until the coast was clear, well, the coast never goes clear. It’s not the way it works. You’ll miss the move. In retrospect, we marvel at how easy it must have been to buy Dell near its lows, dividend increase, giant buyback ton of orders. It seemed totally getable, but it was only getable to the people who believed that the stock was wrongly priced higher. Believe me, that was not the conventional wisdom at the time. Now, let me give you some caveats. Not every kind of stock can be bought steadily on the way down.

It doesn’t work… [for] companies that have no earnings, miserable balance sheet, magical investing, they may never bounce. But with a fine company like Dell, where the CEO has a terrific track record, you can get incredible bargains if you’re simply willing to buy the stock at moments where it’s wrongfully hated. We didn’t catch Dell for the Charitable Trust. I keep mentioning it on air, which locks us out of buying it for the investing club. That’s how we missed it. But you could have easily gotten this one yourself if you just watched the show. In the end, though, this method only works if you have conviction because it requires taking some pain, and that’s impossible to do if you don’t believe in the underlying business, and of course, the CEO.

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) provides storage systems, servers, networking gear, and consulting services, as well as laptops, desktops, workstations, and accessories.

12. Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE:CCL)

Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE:CCL) is one of the stocks mentioned during the show, as we cover everything Jim Cramer said about the oversold market. Toward the end of the lightning round, a caller inquired about the stock, and here’s what Cramer had to say:

Carnival, yeah, I saw the, I like the upgrade. It looks like the, you know the, actually the reservations are coming through. That’s an inexpensive stock.

Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE:CCL) runs cruise lines and offers vacation trips. The company also manages ports, hotels, lodges, and tours that support its cruise business. Cramer called the stock a “real bargain” during the episode aired on December 19, 2025. He remarked:

The AI theme lost its luster, didn’t it? Buyers moved on to other, more exciting areas. That consumer’s resurgence out of nowhere, that’s an exciting story. For example, it’s ignited retail, anything connected to discretionary spending, and that’s what drove, say, the stock of Carnival, almost 10 points higher today on greater numbers that it released just this morning. And also by the way, they reinstated the dividend. I’ve always been partial to cruise lines because they’re so inexpensive, and Carnival Corp offers a real bargain. That’s one of the reasons why the stock is exciting to people.
