On Monday Cramer noted that the mortgage markets are stabilizing after the government bought the debt of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) and the Federal Reserve started buying mortgages from struggling companies. With over $4 trillion in loan guarantees in place, Cramer said the federal government is a positive force in the markets, so today’s selloff was not the same as previous ones, and profit taking is to be expected after the huge rally last week.
