Technology giants are reporting profits, be prepared for rebounds

CNBC’s Jim Kramer called on investors to take advantage of the downturn on Friday to prepare portfolios for the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate hike – but only if they have the funds.

“After today’s crash, we’re probably probably ready for one or two more strikes before we come to terms with what I think will be a weak rebound in the middle of the week,” he said.

“Once again, I want to advise you that you need to set aside some of the table in one of the rebounds to prepare you for the upcoming interest rate hikes. “You can invest a little money to work on days like today, but only if they have the money to start,” he added later.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.8 percent on Friday, its biggest loss since October 2020, the S&P 500 fell 2.8 percent and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6 percent.

The host of “Mad Money” also reviewed the list of profits for next week.
