Jim Cramer Urges Locking Gains Amid Froth

Jim Cramer said on the January 20 episode of Mad Money that investors should consider locking gains from parabolic, speculative and momentum stocks that have run up sharply. He warned many such names have no earnings or minimal sales, recommended moving a meaningful portion of holdings into cash, and suggested diversifying into non-tech, lower-risk stocks to protect realized gains.
