Jim Cramer explains how investors should prepare for the next 'big bad event'

TL;DR

  • Investors should not sell stocks ahead of Federal Reserve meetings.
  • Fed meetings create uncertainty, leading to pre-meeting sell-offs and post-meeting rebounds.
  • The best approach is to buy stocks closer to and immediately after the Fed meeting to capture the rebound.
  • Technology stocks, specifically cybersecurity, Intel, and Micron, are recommended buying opportunities.
  • This pattern of "big bad events" is expected to become more prominent with continued Fed rate hikes.
