On Monday, CNBC's Jim Cramer advised investors to avoid Big Tech and growth stocks that may be negatively impacted by the Federal Reserve's expected interest rate increase.

The "Mad Money" host stated that for the time being, it is necessary to prioritize the money centers, such as oils, retailers with massive scale, health insurers, and big pharma, excluding biotech, as they are likely to suffer in a high-inflation environment.

FAANG is Cramer’s acronym for Facebook-parent , , , and Google-parent .

On Monday, the Nasdaq Composite, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and S&P 500 all experienced significant declines, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 2.18%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipping 1.19%, and the S&P 500 declining 1.69%.

Cramer advised investors to exercise caution with FAANG stocks as the market shifts towards a growth-unfriendly environment, following his comments last week about the need for conservatism.

He advised investors with tech-heavy portfolios to be strategic and not sell all of their tech growth names, even if the market isn't favorable for the stocks in the near term.

Excessive technology usage requires a reset to reevaluate positioning. I believe you will achieve this. ... Your positioning should be unburdened by any overemphasis, except perhaps oil due to the industry's recent focus on drilling discipline.
