Slider,

Am disappointed with you, I thought that's what you were<g>. Sounds like a great job opportunity for an OSX specialist.

Good Trading

Dave

Cramer Ponders the Patch:

Wrong! Rear Echelon Revelations: Oil vs. Tech
thestreet.com

Monday morning saw a couple of groups doing quite well, but two really had some shine: tech and oil drilling. As I have said negative things about the patch, I found myself regretting that oil, which had been so horrible, seemed to have some legs. I saw the oil-service index, or OSX, ramping, and I contemplated a trade or two. ...But the fundamentals stopped me cold. You can't talk to an oil or oil-service executive who is not worried sick over the state of the commodity.

No matter, the stocks plowed ever higher until right after the close when Amerada Hess (AHC:NYSE) vindicated my caution by slashing its exploration budget dramatically. That's precisely what I was most nervous about. Now, because of AHC, we could have another round of estimate cuts and downgrades, the two scourges of performance. Stocks that looked like they had momentum will turn out to be just that, with no momentum behind the companies themselves.
