With the market down sharply for the third day in a row, Cramer said on today’s Stop Trading! segment that investors should not be buying aggressively right now. “I like a sell-off that shakes people up,” he said. “Respect the futures and their ability to drive down the market.”


In the cola wars, Pepsi made headlines today by buying an 80% stake in a Ukranian juice company. The deal was for $542 million, which isn’t pocket change even for a behemoth like Pepsi. Cramer said the acquisition shows that Pepsi has “made a major commitment to international” growth. It’s a good move, Cramer said, but he still slightly favors rival Coca-Cola . “Coke down at $51 is pretty attractive.”
