Jim Cramer says staying invested through the bull market's 4-year run paid off
Overview
CNBC's Jim Cramer says the S&P 500 has risen roughly 118% since its October 12, 2022 bottom, despite Fed rate hikes, a banking crisis, tariffs and a war in Iran.
He argues investors should stay invested rather than try to time the market, and says a $10,000 investment at the bottom would now be worth nearly $23,061.
Cramer cites JPMorgan data showing that an investor who missed the 10 best trading days from 2005 to 2024 ended with less than half the wealth of someone who stayed fully invested.
