CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday offered some advice that could be soothing for investors after the stock market sold off on doubts that the U.S. and China would soon land a trade agreement.
“If the trade war were really all-important, the averages would never have been able to surge to record levels over and over and over again,” the “Mad Money” host said. “As tense as the negotiations may be, China’s simply a much smaller issue than most people seem to realize.”

co-CEO Keith Block told Cramer that the company’s earnings-per-share guidance cut is not a major concern.
Shares of the business software provider closed around $161, but fell around 2% in extended trading after it issued a per-share earnings guidance of $.54 to $.55 for the current quarter, which ends in January. Analysts had estimated $.61 per share.
“We had a great quarter. We have a lot of success,” Block said in the “Mad Money” interview. “Our business looks strong in the fourth quarter, it looks good for next year, and we’re in a great position to advise these customers.”
