Hey, I'm Kramer.

Welcome to mad money. Welcome to Kramer, Erica.

Today was another good day for index fund holders, Dow gaining 307 points,

SB advancing 0.55%.

But what if you're doing what I advise and how to make money in any market?

Consider for me, I've got my index funds and then I've got my travel trust.

Now, most of you had a chance to own long-term winners like Apple or Amazon or Mvita if you
