September is the cruelest month of the year for investors, Jim Cramer reminded his Mad Money viewers Monday. That's why the prudent thing to do is get ahead of the masses and raise cash now.
Last week, Cramer checked in with colleague Larry Williams, who noted that September 17th is historically the high point of the month, with market-wide declines likely thereafter. In the meantime, we're likely to see a rotating cast of market leaders, few with any staying power.
Today, we saw gains in the oil patch, with stocks like Occidental Petroleum (OXY) – Get Occidental Petroleum Corporation Report up 6.6% and Devon Energy (DVN) – Get Devon Energy Corporation Report gaining 3%. But Cramer noted that once oil prices get too high, producers turn on the spigot to bring prices back down. Adding to the confusion are shutdowns from hurricane Ida, once again weighing on oil, chemicals and manufacturing.
