After a massive selloff on Wall Street, Jim Cramer admitted to his Mad Money viewers on Thursday. They simply cannot take the pain, and they''re going for the exits in droves.
Cramer said he''s in a "great readjustment" where investors are figuring out what they''re willing to pay for companies that aren''t making money today, but might make a lot of money in the future.
