Cramer's week ahead: Own stocks that are cheap on a price to earnings basis

On Friday, CNBC's Jim Cramer discussed the upcoming earnings reports and advised investors to invest in profitable companies that are also affordable.

The host of "Mad Money" advised that in this environment, it's essential to own profitable companies that produce goods, but it's also important to invest in stocks that remain undervalued on a price-to-earnings basis.

On Monday, Cramer stated that he will monitor the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on commodity prices and keep an eye on the 30-year Treasury bonds.

"Once the Fed starts selling its bond portfolio, the 30-year, not the 20[-year], will be the focal point of action. This sell-off in the 30-year indicates that much higher rates are on the horizon. Be prepared for them. Higher long rates are likely to negatively impact the Nasdaq, while the Dow, with its tangible companies, may hold up well," Cramer advised.

On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.4%, the S&P 500 decreased by 0.27%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell by 1.34%. Despite this, all three indices experienced a decline in value throughout the week.

The March consumer price index, which is expected to be a "red-hot reading," will be released next Tuesday.

"The bondholders and stock market will be negatively impacted by the consensus being too low, which will lead to an inexorable and nasty outcome until we reach the peak," he stated.

Cramer discussed his views on the upcoming earnings reports of various companies, which were obtained from FactSet.
