Analyst: Stock market reversal underscores importance of holding stocks, following non-financial crisis sell-off

CNBC analyst Jim Cramer says Wednesday's dramatic reversal of Wall Street's stock market rally makes a strong case for why investors need to continue to hold on to their stocks, even when they're ‘in a position of desperation.’ Cramer's comments echoes what he has been communicating to investors during the recent market battering. He has repeatedly said that despite growing fears of a tariff-induced recession, investors need to be patient because the sell-off was ‘manufactured’ by the White House. He argued that this is very different from the global financial crisis. He reiterated his advice that individual investors should not try to time the market as it is hard to know when those can't-miss trading days will come.
