Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC’s Mad Money, has made headlines with his latest prediction of an impending market crash.
However, instead of sparking fear, his comments have been met with skepticism and even hope, as investors reference the “inverse Cramer index,” which suggests markets often move in the opposite direction of his forecasts.
Cramer’s cryptic post on X warned of a “total washout” in the markets, hinting at further declines across global financial sectors, including crypto. Yet, his followers seemed unfazed, with many believing that the outcome will likely defy his warning, as has been observed in the past.
This contrarian belief is so widespread that an ETF, SJIM, was created to capitalize on market movements contrary to Cramer’s predictions.
