If you catch an upgrade on a down day, that’s a great way to make some mad money, Cramer says.
Normally, an upgraded stock goes higher instantly. But that won’t happen when there’s a sell-off in the market.

Bottom Line: One more method to Cramer’s madness – buying stocks that have been upgraded on days when the market is down hard.
