“They’re not in the way,” Cramer said during Stop Trading!, meaning the central bank is doing whatever it can to promote an economic recovery.
The Fed kept interest rates at their already low level of between zero and 0.25 percent, Reuters reported, promising again to keep them there for an extended period.

The “Fed said good things,” Cramer said. “Buy.”
