Cramer last week mentioned the president's executive order to lower drug prices, which triggered a sell-off in the entire drug distribution sector. He explained that the order effectively requires pharmaceutical companies to provide U.S. government drug prices that match the lowest interest rates charged by other advanced economies. Cramer said the market’s fear is simple: If drugmakers are forced to lower prices for their government customers, drug distributors can see their profit margins shrink.
"The most important thing is: I don't want to stick my neck out for an industry regardless of how drug distributors perform, and both Democrats and Republicans seem to hate the industry right now. That seems to be the only thing they agree with, right, isn't it? There are so many potential winners in this market, and I say, why take the risk?"
