My mission is simple, to make you money.

I'm here to level the playing field for all investors.

There's always a home market somewhere, and I promise to help you find it.

Mad Money starts now.

Hey, I'm Kramer.

Welcome to Mad Money. Welcome to Kramer.

Other people, my friends, hey, look, I'm just trying to save you a little bit of money here. My job is not just to entertain, but to explain why days like today happens. So call me at 1-800-7-4-3-C-BC. Tweeat me, Jim Kramer. When the bear comes and running at you, it's mighty difficult to hide, to stay ahead of the darn thing, to avoid being walled.

Right now we have a situation where every time we provoke the bear by attacking Iranian

oil facilities, only a few stocks can rally.

When you throw in a crummy producer price index reading and a Fed meeting with no hope

whatsoever of a rate cut, well, you get a hideous

day for the averages. Dowell tumbling 768 points has to be plunging 1.36% and the NASDAQ

plumbing 1.46%. It was a real bad day. The House of Pain. These are what's known as macro

events that I just talked about, not stock stories,

and they can impact the entire market.

Usually there's a reliable set of sectors we can turn to even when things get ugly like this,

but not today.

Everything was awful except for a handful of oil and gas stocks.

Now, I am a stock strategist, not a military strategist, but I can relate the oil futures, which

spiked this all day, actually, to the stock market.

Because with the exception of a few anomalies, up oil means down stocks.

Nothing was clear today than the pressure oil can put on the entire S&P 500.
