Stock ‘guru’ Jim Cramer says it’s time for investors to get out of stocks.

According to a report on MSNBC, Cramer told Ann Curry on TODAY Monday: “Whatever money you may need for the next five years, please take it out of the stock market right now, this week. I do not believe that you should risk those assets in the stock market right now.”

The Big Picture blogger, Barry Ritholz, says Cramer’s strong sell recommendation could be a strong buy signal for contrarian investors.

Barry L. Ritholz of BigPicture.com has an interesting piece today about historical Dow selloffs.

Ritholz charted the 15 biggest one-month Dow selloffs. Turns out there’s often a healthy snap-back 6 and 12 months after significant one month sell offs.

Out of the 15 selloffs there were 13 cases of a snap-back. Except in 1973 and 2001, where even larger losses came a year later.
