CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday advised investors to take any chance to sell stocks next week as the busy earnings season continues.
“The market’s dominated by the tick, tick, tick of bonds, oil and the dollar. So, remember, if we have a big up day like yesterday, that is a chance to do some [selling] because there probably won’t be any follow-through,” he said.
Cramer’s comments come after stocks fell on Friday to end a volatile week of trading, just one day after the market snapped a six-day losing streak with a historic intraday reversal.
He also previewed next week’s slate of earnings. All earnings and revenue estimates are courtesy of FactSet.

Cramer said he expects the bank to report a great number, but that it might have no effect on the stock if bonds, oil or the dollar goes haywire the same day.
