Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's

0:07.0

CMBC Investing Club warning meeting.

Jeff, I'm working on a theory here when I look at the ADP numbers and I combine that

0:13.0

with what we said from the Joel and the job as claims, I'm coming up to this theory.

0:18.0

The theory is that the slowdown is catching up with us, that people

0:21.9

are starting to recognize less hiring, less job creation, more commercial real estate strain,

0:28.6

and they're holding off and buying. And I think that it can be correctly summed up by Mark Zuckerberg,

1:29.3

But we're in day three of this rotation, and day three might say,

1:33.3

all right, is it time to start looking at what's been crushed for opportunities?

1:37.3

Well, let's remember that when the banking crisis occurred was when you saw all of the QQQQ names go up. That was when it started. People were misinterpreted.
