CNBC’s Jim Cramer told investors on Friday that stocks will likely continue to do well as long as the economy holds up.
“A lot of companies have battened down the hatches, so to speak, and prepared for a recession. So unless we get a sharp slowdown, they’re really going to keep flying,” he said.
He also previewed next week’s leaderboard. All revenue and earnings estimates are courtesy of FactSet.
