Forget Hope -- Where's the Beef? By James J. Cramer 4/12/00 5:55 PM ET Some of you have to stop "hoping." The market doesn't work like that. If we get good news from companies in tech, we could get a turn in tech, but we aren't just going to go up in a vacuum. We are in a market where the last piece of news was a potential revenue shortfall from Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq - news - boards). This right on top of a bad miss by Motorola (MOT:NYSE - news - boards). That one-two combo was a knock-out for many funds trying to play in old tech. Unless they were owners of the banks and the drugs and the foods -- highly unlikely if you look at the portfolios of tech funds everyday in IBD as I do -- they will be faced with lots of uncertainty until better data points arrive. We are listening to Altera (ALTR:Nasdaq - news - boards) and AMD (AMD:NYSE - news - boards) and both are terrific. And Altera got double indemnity -- it was added to the S&P. But I don't know if A&A can turn things around. Believe me, though, something has to turn it around. It is a moving object and unless it bumps up against a wall of good earnings, it will keep rolling downhill. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
