Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, urged investors to refrain from making any investments in high-value stocks, particularly in the Big Tech sector, ahead of upcoming earnings reports, which will attract considerable scrutiny. Cramer expressed concern over significant price movements in various stocks leading into earnings, stating, “you can't make up these moves.”

He emphasized that these surges create heightened risks for those looking to purchase stocks before a company's earnings announcement. He pointed out that there is underlying volatility affecting nearly every major company. He noted that the stocks that he mentioned on Friday were trading erratically high on October 28.

He went on to highlight that:

“First you need to understand that no one knows these earnings numbers ahead of time except the CEO, the CFO, and a very small group of very important people at each company, and they are tight-lipped.”

Cramer criticized analysts for their attempts to predict earnings, stating, “We've seen how wrong they can be over and over again.” According to Cramer, when a stock spikes before earnings, it does not indicate insider knowledge but rather excessive enthusiasm. He further cautioned that these price increases are occurring without any solid basis, making it perilous for investors. He said, “In other words, these stocks are going up on nothing and that I think makes it very dangerous.”

Cramer reiterated his advice and said:

“I am indeed trying to discourage you from trading these stocks ahead of the quarters. It’s just a roulette game based on nothing. Often the game feels rigged, you just don’t know which way it’s rigged because companies really and truly do not let this stuff drip out.”

Concluding his remarks, he said:

“Bottom line, no one on Wall Street knows what any of the quarters will look like, except for the principals. So don’t bother to follow the money that you see trading right now in anticipation. You know why? It’s a fool’s errand.”
