Seize any opportunity to sell stocks in busy earnings week

CNBC’s Jim Kramer advised investors Friday to seize any opportunity to sell stocks next week as the busy earnings season continues.

“The market is dominated by the mark, the mark, the bonds, oil and the dollar. So, remember, if we have a big day like yesterday, this is an opportunity to do some [selling] Because there probably won’t be any follow up.”

Kramer’s comments come after stocks plunged on Friday to end a volatile week of trading, just one day after the market ended a six-day losing streak with a historic intraday reversal.
