  1. no time to do the research of Cramer's recent calls but he sounds quite bullish in the first article from street.com:

    "It only took Apple(AAPL_) to go up $9 and Google(GOOG_) to go up $60 and Seagate(STX_) to get an inquiry to realize that tech stocks are undervalued. I am surprised even that was able to do it.
    ....
    Anyway, today the market declared them totally shortsighted and I would not be surprised if, next week, you see money plowing into the Sandisks(SNDK_) and the Crees(CREE_) and the Jabils(JBL_) and the JDSs(JDSU_). They have lagged.

  2. Well well, the futures are very red. Is this gonna be one of those fake sell offs, or the end of the bear rally? [​IMG]

  4. is the market flat in expectations of AAPL earnings?

    me thinkes that when all eyes are staring at a single company that is not a sign of a healthy market.

  5. Currently I have the Dow Jones in a confirmed uptrend. I generally follow the dow. Although it is in an uptrend I'm on the sidelines. Basically I'm just adhering to my trading rules that have served me well. At this time I don't know if it will go up or down. I just know I need more information to decide. When I get that information I will react accordingly. I never plan to far out into the future. Nothing is a sure thing. You have to always be able to react to the market conditions that can change without warning.

    I have further analysis on my personal blog if interested and a few charts:

    Apple and ibm earnings should keep tech in the spotlight all week long.

  9. No new money flowing into the INDU, much of the volume is weak and the sideline money is parking in other arenas.

    No reason to go long or short this market in the Long Run right now.

    Let the Daytraders and HFTs fight it out.

    And the markets are at intraday highs, have to love a market that goes entirely one way. No such thing as the word down or profit taking in this risk free market money making machine.
