Everything Jim Cramer said about the stock market on 'Mad Money,' including tech plays, balance sheets

CNBC’s Jim Cramer revealed secular growth tech stocks that investors can expect to work in a volatile market environment. The “Mad Money” host warned viewers that now is the time pay closer attention to companies’ balance sheets as the economy heads for a slowdown.

The Trump administration’s proposal to counter the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak could create buying opportunities in the technology sector, CNBC’s said Tuesday.

In a stock market that has buckled to the fast-spreading COVID-19, Cramer added tech stocks that are immune to cyclical changes in the economy to his list of stocks that can be bought in this volatile market environment.

“That’s why I always eye the fastest-growing tech stocks in a slowdown. They bounce back quickly and often become leaders for the next leg up,” the “Mad Money” host said. “We’ll get that leg … when we cure or contain COVID-19, even if their earnings could be a tad shy. The stocks are certainly down.”

Cramer said it’s a critical time for investors to factor a company’s debt load into their investment decisions.

“In times of crisis, I always start with the balance sheet,” the host said, adding in “tough times, the balance sheet suddenly gets a lot more focus.”

In Cramer’s lightning round, the “Mad Money” host ran through his thoughts about callers’ favorite stock picks in rapid speed.

: “I think Uber is a push. I like this stock longer-term, but shorter-term I don’t think you can make the numbers.”

: “No. I mean we’ve got enough risk already. I’d rather have you own Chevron, to be honest, because there I’m not worried about the balance sheet whatsoever.”
