Life Is Good on the Long Side
By James J. Cramer

Anybody smell an expiration ramp? Sure feels like it. You have a cyclical that got a bid after years of underperformance. You have Europe up big. You have some good earnings reports out of London (thanks TheStreet.co.uk) and Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE:HWP - news) good numbers and even better conference call. (Softballs, batter up!)
Life is good.

The Producer Price number takes some edge off of the Big Bad Event, which is Greenspan's testimony. And there are tons of green in the now-vigorous before-market trading. Even DoubleClick (Nasdaq:DCLK - news) , which is now being positioned as the "Big Brother" of the Net, is bouncing!

Life gets better.

Oil is coming down. Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Windows 2000 is launching. And there is a ton of alliances in the B2B space that will make those stocks zoom.

Life is great. If you are long. At least this morning.

Random musings: We are not some cold, inhuman monolith. We are processing your many biotech ideas that are coming over the transom and scrambling to add 10 new names to the mix. Melissa "Genome" Kasper will be back with more later today or tomorrow.

MM,

The Minneapolis paper had a short note on the front page "Major stock indexes plune" pointing to the inside business page with the headline "Stocks plunge across the board", ( Interest rate fears spark 3% fall in leading indexes.)

That's funny...I believe I told the reporter that the stocks leading the market were trading at outrageous valuations. She told me her editors don't allow the word "valuations", so I said, "Then let me use a highly technical term: Stupid prices." I guess the editors didn't like that either and somebody apparently felt obligated to put words in my mouth. <g>
