By Roberto Pedone PEWAUKEE, Wis. (TheStreet) --According to Jim Cramer, window dressing is upon us. On Tuesday's "Mad Money" TV show, Cramer told viewers that we're just three days away from the end of the month and the end of the fiscal year for most hedge funds and mutual funds. He explained that that means managers will look to mark up their biggest holdings to generate better returns and keep clients from withdrawing funds. For most mutual and hedge funds, October and early November is when clients can withdraw capital due to tax implications and fund requirements if they're unhappy with a fund's performance. Cramer said watch what happens to stocks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, specifically, as hedge and mutual funds move up their best-performing stocks. He mentioned that the markup period will send some stocks higher for what will look like no good reason. Cramer said the markets won't make much sense for the next three days. He advised viewers that if they want to sell some of their winners to look to do it on Thursday so they can get the best price. If you're an investor who wants to buy some of the best performers, Cramer said to wait until next week after the "window dressing" period has ended. Recently, Cramer found opportunity in 10 natural gas stocks, five regional bank stocks and stocks that could benefit from big-tech leaders. Here are some Cramer highlights from over the past week as aggregated from his "Mad Money" TV show, the "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC and his RealMoney blog posts (these blog posts might require a RealMoney subscription).- Loading Comments...
