words of wisdom from my hero The Smokestack Seven Scream Higher By James J. Cramer RealMoney Columnist 3/29/2004 11:28 AM EST Click here for more stories by James J. Cramer Manufacturing BULLISH The Smokestack Seven are rising fast today. They're going to report good numbers. This group lives and breathes earnings momentum. Here we go again with the Ingersoll-Rand (IR:NYSE - commentary - research), the American Standard (ASD:NYSE - commentary - research), the Fortune Brands (FO:NYSE - commentary - research), the Caterpillar (CAT:NYSE - commentary - research), the Deere (DE:NYSE - commentary - research), the 3M (MMM:NYSE - commentary - research), the United Technologies (UTX:NYSE - commentary - research). You know what's happening: The stocks that are going to report the best numbers are what's screaming. And not a moment too soon, because this group lives and breathes earnings momentum. You have to love the action today. I found myself thinking like OutKast, "I like the way it moves," it's that positive -- with the right stocks moving up, the ones that will report monster quarters. You know I love the Smokestack Seven. I love them because their earnings are so stellar that numbers have to go higher. It's still where you have to be.
