Jim Cramer says this could be the first of multiple days of machine-driven stock selling.
Monday's market sell-off could be the first of multiple that allow investors to be patient and take advantage of in coming days, CNBC's Jim Cramer said.
Despite positive news that trade talks between the United States and China are progressing, the major indexes ended the session in the negative. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed more than 200 points, the S&P 500 fell roughly 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq dipped about 0.2 percent. "It was an unsettling reminder that stocks remain fragile and the asset class simply is not capable of handling severe selling all at once, which is the case and therefore it's almost entirely machine-driven," he said.
"That's the opposite of what actual humans do when they work orders to get a better than the average price at the end of the day," he said.
