Cramer’s week ahead: Markets will do ‘much better’ during the next four weeks

Stocks rose on Friday but ended the week down after Wall Street digested a slew of corporate earnings, economic data reports and speeches from Federal Reserve officials. Cramer attributed the market’s resiliency to both exhausted sellers and animal spirits — the tendency for stocks to move based on investor sentiment. ‘They keep giving us a boost, as we’re further along in the process of making a bottom,’ he said. He also previewed next week’s slate of earnings for J.M. Smucker, Jacobs Solutions, Dell Technologies, Dollar Tree, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best Buy, American Eagle and Dollar Tree. The company should either invest in growing or put itself up for sale, Cramer said, especially if it dips further on Monday. . . .
