On Wednesday, Mad Money host Jim Cramer urged investors to take advantage of broad market declines rather than retreat from them.
“A reminder once again that we all too often celebrate those who got it right for a day, betting against tremendous companies instead of celebrating those who got it right by owning and hitching their star to long-term winners and making big money through the power of compounding.”

Cramer explained that consistent, disciplined growth investing can succeed in any market environment. He emphasized that it all lies in practicing patience and discipline without emotion, staying consistent, persistent, and focused.
“So, the bottom line: I trust the market. If you trust the market, if you don’t believe that one stock controls the entire tape, if you don’t take counsel of your fears and you do take counsel of your opportunities, a day like yesterday can be the way you finally get a chance to start wading in, not all at once, that’s for fools, but gradually. As we saw today, yesterday was a good time to start buying. And even if you missed it, I hope you’ll keep this experience in mind the next time the averages get hammered.”

Jim Cramer Answered Harvard Business School Students’ Questions: 9 Stocks in Focus
9. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 68
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) is one of the stocks highlighted as Jim Cramer responded to questions from Harvard Business School students. Noting that the stock has been getting crushed recently, a student inquired where the stock will go. Cramer said:
“I don’t know. I mean, Chipotle, I think, has probably settled down. It’s, probably would go down to 23, 24 times earnings. It means it could still break down a little bit more from here. I don’t like, it’s too expensive. That’s what happened. Not executing well either. I sure wish it would.”
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) owns and operates restaurants that provide burritos, bowls, tacos, salads, and other menu items. Cramer discussed the company during the October 30 episode and commented:
“Consider the case of Chipotle, which admittedly needs another turnaround after today’s beatdown. But I’m talking about the old Chipotle. This company fell on hard times in 2015… Chipotle brought in Brian Niccol, a rising star from Taco Bell… Installing him as CEO at the time, I don’t know, I was skeptical, putting someone in who helped push a burrito with 80 ingredients versus one with just eight, I mean, really? Was he the right guy? Well, the answer was absolutely, you bet it was. About a year later, the ship was completely righted, and the stock rallied all the way to $56. That’s right. $5 when he came in to $56 when Starbucks poached him last year.”
8. Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 115
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the stocks highlighted as Jim Cramer responded to questions from Harvard Business School students. During the lightning round, when a student asked about the company, Cramer said:
“No, it’s entirely, it’s entirely trading as if it’s on autonomous drive and on robot. And therefore, you gotta own… up another 17 today. I’ve gotta tell you that it’s a miracle. When the stock went down to 250, everyone said they hated it, and then it became, it morphed into what we’re just talking about. And I think that as long as he wins that shareholder vote and stays, the stock can go up much higher.”
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) designs, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles and energy systems. The company also provides charging infrastructure, insurance, and after-sales services. During the November 4 episode, Cramer highlighted the company’s robotics and self-driving business. He said:
“For a while now, I’ve been telling you that we have three separate markets. There’s the high-growth, high-tech market that’s mostly about the data center. There’s the real economy and then there’s the speculative market… The most intriguing part of the stock market, though, is at the intersection between the highest growth stocks and the speculative stocks… Tesla comes to mind. We know it as a car company, nothing all that speculative there, but it’s also a play on robotics and self-driving, two of the most cutting-edge technologies out there. Tesla Square in the first camp, and the third one. That’s the magic of Elon Musk.”
