Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC said that pain is “inevitable” in the stock market as investors go through the volatility infused by the latest tariffs announced by the US government against China, Canada and Mexico. However, Cramer said investors should get used to this volatility and be ready for different situations.
“Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in the last of his myriad interviews of the day that maybe the Canadian and Mexican tariffs could be partially rolled back, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. Yes, it is all that capricious, and you better get used to it if you’re going to own stocks,” Cramer said.

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC discussed the reasons why Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) shares fell following earnings. Cramer said TOL is one of his favorite homebuilder stocks.
“Last night, Toll Brothers, one of my favorite homebuilders, reported a quarter that was mixed, and the stock just got hammered. The entire group took a hit. The conference call was instructive because it showed cracks developing, with lower average housing prices around the country and some very soft markets—something that’s not supposed to happen when the Fed is cutting rates. Mortgage rates are still way too high for this group.”
Cramer mentioned Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL)’s management comments from the latest conference call where they pointed to high prices in certain areas.
“Those prices have to come down—that’s raw inflation. They have to come down before we beat inflation in this country. Toll Brothers, the entire industry,” Cramer said.
