Last week it was Her Ladyship on NBR, and this week none other than "Mr. Flip-Flop", Ralph Acampora, makes a guest appearance with Cramer!! Just like the good old days!! Excerpt... "In a special "Chart Week" extra, Cramer welcomed Ralph Acampora, partner and portfolio manager at Altera, and someone Cramer dubbed "the best chartist I've ever worked with." Acampora looked at a chart of the Financial Select SPDR (XLF_), which tracks the banking stocks. He said the chart is worrisome, as the index has four failed rallies in the past four months. "I don't like that it has trouble following through," he said. However, if the index breaks past $15, it will begin to peak the interest of many technicians, he said. Acampora then looked at the SPDR S&P Dividend (SDY_) ETF, which tracks dividend stocks in the S&P 500. Here Acampora noted that this ETF moves up in the face of bad news, and it yields more than 10-year treasuries. Both Cramer and Acampora agreed that the markets seem tired with the financial stocks, but they are becoming increasingly attractive, and they agreed that now is a great time to get into dividend stocks." thestreet.com DD®

Her Ladyship returns to NBR's Market Monitor!! Excerpt... "HUDSON: What makes you so confident in higher stock prices with all the uncertainty that remains? GARZARELLI: Well, basically, my indicators for the stock market are bullish. They`re at a 76 percent level. HUDSON: Last fall the last time you were on with us you were bullish and your indicators were as well. You were looking at the time for S&P 500 at 1300. We`re above that now. So do you have a price target in mind? GARZARELLI: For earnings for this year and this is assuming that oil prices stay where they are now, which is pretty high, I have 94 for S&P earnings and for next year I have 102.50. So if you just multiply a 15 multiple by that, which is conservative, our models say 17 would be better based on the BAA bond rate. You get up to 1500 on next year`s earnings, 2012 earnings. HUDSON: Give me real quick on oil, what price is going to start to concern you? GARZARELLI: I would say $128, $130. We`d have to change our forecast for much slower growth." pbs.org DD©
