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.

CNBC commentator and entertainer Jim Cramer declared an end to the bear market back in March, but I can’t see calling an end to the bear just yet.
