In this article, we will look at Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. The host of Mad Money on Monday suggested not to rush into selling high-quality stocks, as the market is being pushed more by fear than by underlying business performance.
Stocks go down for all sorts of reasons, some good, some bad. Lately, we’ve had a lot of bad, and tonight I want to straighten some things out, not to tell you to buy, but only just to describe some things that have gone wrong, so you understand what’s causing a lot of good stuff to go down. Why does that matter? Because a bad tape causes individuals to dump great stocks, usually when they should be buying more or at least standing pat. I know a lot of people are getting very worried.

Cramer noted that repeated efforts by the president to signal that negotiations are progressing well have not been matched by any meaningful response from Iran, which has led to a sense of gloom hanging over the market. He said that long-term wealth comes from identifying winning companies and sticking with them through difficult periods like the present. He explained that these are the moments when investors are often misled into selling, either because they feel the system is broken or believe the opportunity has passed, when it has not.
Let me give you the bottom line: Sometimes stocks sell off for bad reasons or fully bogus reasons. And at those moments, I’d rather be a buyer than a seller of CrowdStrike or Meta. At some point, I’d be willing to bless the memory stocks too, but they need to cool off some more before I’m willing to stick my neck out because this is such a, it’s become such a horrible stock market.

Mad Money’s Latest Recap: Jim Cramer’s Strategy for Market Sell-Offs and 16 Stocks Mentioned
16. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. Cramer explained why the stock is going down, as he commented:
… Most painful, we have stocks that go down two and then up one. Take a look at NVIDIA. This is a stock that’s already down over 20% from its highs set last October, including a 11% slide since 2026 began. Right now, NVIDIA sells for less than 15 times next year’s earnings estimates. What can I say? 15 times. I think that’s because the whole war has become a PE multiple-shrinking event. Why sell NVIDIA when you can buy it back later? Why buy it? Why do you need it? Okay, that’s first of all. Then why do you buy it? Can’t think of a reason. Why do you sell it? Because you can buy it back lower. If it can go below 15 times earnings, why not 14 times? Why not 13 times? Maybe it doesn’t matter.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops accelerated computing and AI platforms, GPUs for gaming and professional use, cloud services, robotics and embedded systems, and automotive technologies.
15. Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT)
Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT) is included in Mad Money’s latest recap as Jim Cramer outlined his strategy for market sell-offs. A caller asked if the stock works as a “safety trade” in the current environment, and Cramer replied:
I absolutely think that Walmart is okay here. I like the stock very much. I think it just had a, it bounced off the roof, came back down, and it’s ready to run.
Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT) operates retail stores, warehouse clubs, and online platforms that sell groceries, everyday essentials, home goods, apparel, electronics, and more. Cramer mentioned the stock during the March 23 episode and said:
There are bargains to be had all over retail, and they just don’t look like it. Walmart, okay, its stock’s up 8% year to date. Costco, up 12% year to date. Both have high price-to-earnings multiples. I get that, but they’d do well if you think that we’re headed toward a slowdown because of oil prices.
