i'm jim cramer, welcome to cramerica. my job is not just to entertain you, but to educate and teach you. talk about a dickensian moment. 263,000 jobs, that caused the averages to roar higher for most of the day. but then the federal reserve threw cold water on the whole market. yep, when the fed minutes from a month ago were released, we saw that they talked not about the economy being strong, but about stocks being too strong, it was almost as if the fed was saying that the stocks had gotten ahead of themselves so they had to take away the punch bowl with some stock bad mouthing. paul ryan came out and said that tax reform will take longer than health care. what's longer than never? put it all together and the averages only went into a tail spin, erasing our earlier gain, causing the dow to close down 41 points while s&p lost.31% and the nasdaq sank .58%. the fed signaled that maybe things aren't as great as the bulls may think, which sent markets plummeting. that's why i have to stress displadi discipline. at 1:59 at th

my job is fot no just to entertain, but to teach or tweet me at jim cramer. sometimes, sometimes we have what i call a bad set up. and the market, it just wants to go down. that's what happened today with the dow sinking 139 points. s&p backsliding. nasdaq declining. didn't matter what the companies had to say because the averages didn't comply with any bullishness. they wanted to go lower. you know, when you hear things like that and you're not in the business, not used to buying and selling stocks as progressifesst must seem curious, a pathetic alibi. after all, who is the market? is and how does it want to go down? where's the commandment that y says stocks have to go lower? who decides that today, people who own stocks are by and large going to lose money and why of all things does the market not want to go higher? didn't the ceo of the biggest bank say things are fabulous? didn't wells fargo after all of that scandal still show some growth? a sign that perhaps perhaps is putting the rough patch behind? didn't citigroup have its best quarter in years? was

>> caller: boo-yah, boo-yah, jim cramer. >> how are you? >> caller: good.y question is, actually i got a two-part question. >> go ahead, two part. >> caller: all right, what do you think bank of america gross here. and do you think that if management of bank of america is doing the right thing by adding back stock rather than paying a higher dividend to the shareholders which are the backbone of the company? >> remember, buck, i think they are very hemmed in by the previous administration. i would like to see exactly what the trump administration allows them to do. i believe there's two rate hikes and bank of america is a goodbye. we'll see the numbers on friday for the employment. and on wednesday we debt the notes. i think 1.5 down, and 3 up. and that's a ratio i don't mind. it's had a big run since the election. let's go to walter in massachusetts. walte walt walter? >> caller: hey, how are you going, jim. eagle bull shipping. >> i do not like the bull shippers, i do not like the crude oil plays, i just don't want to be in that business. and that ladies

what did jim cramer say about the possible sale of the company? but first, we start off with a huge rally on wall street. the dow soaring more than 200 points after the first round of the french election turnoff without a hitch. the nasdaq hitting a record high points away from 6,000. the major averages having their best day of gains since march 1st. here is what gets interesting. since that date, the s&p 500 has been making a series of lower highs. this chart shows you the highs on march 1st, and finally today's move, another lower high. despite the rally in the classic trump trade with financials and industrials, the bond market looks like it's telling a different story. bonds got crushed sending yields higher early on but then reversed course. they finished at the lows of the session. same with gold. but settling down less than a percent. not exactly the rickoff move you would expect. is the trump trade really back on or is this just a trump trap. tim? >> well, it's a global trade that could be back on. remember, uphas got the best macro i woul
