Cramer forgot that the summer is coming, and you never know when a heat wave is coming in this rather mild west coast spring. This last weekend was hot as hell in Santa Clara. Not sure what it signals, but my thermometer got busted. Khan

Mark: TOT: As usual, there is at least one blatantly incorrect fact in Cramer's blurb that, as an anal engineer type, I feel compelled to point out. Thermometers measure "temperature", not "heat". So Cramer should be equating "temperature" to "stock price", and probably "heat" (or more accurately "energy content") to "market capitalization". And he should be talking absolutes not relatives, so that the energy content goes to zero when the absolute temperature goes to zero, just as the market cap goes to zero when the stock price goes to zero. Darned neat analogy when you get it right, and if I had a subscription to TSM, I'd tell Cramer to get his science correct. What do we care, you ask? Well, nothing else to play with right now, so may just as well play with metaphors.... David T.
