Jim Cramer says media-hyped fears of a government shutdown are overblown, and that investors should actually buy the fear. The CNBC Mad Money host said on CNBC’s “Shut down fears are overblown — again,” Wednesday. “I’ve been through every fake shutdown since the Clinton administration. Always buy the fear.” The House rejected a stopgap spending bill on Thursday, one day before a deadline that would have funded the federal government, once again raising the specter of a government shutdown. Cramer, whose stock and crypto picks have at times earned him the moniker “the human Jell-O” for his notoriously bad market calls, is well known in the stock and crypto community. In the past, Cramer has been criticized for his market calls, with some accusing him of being a market manipulator. However, Cramer has also been praised for his ability to connect with retail investors and for his willingness to take risks.
