Shameless dupe post from yesterday...but Cramer deserves a sustained beating.

"
Seeing a trend here? While the media can’t seem to admit it, the US economy and markets are enjoying a number of positives right now, not the least of which is growing strength in retail. So anyone who believed these stories missed some great moneymaking opportunities.

“You have to be skeptical when it comes to the press,” Cramer said.

Uhh - ****head - you ARE (part of) the press.

The levitation act is coming from USD weakness, which is a direct result of Fed and government policy. While it seems prudent that government would take its medicine now since failure to do so leads to unmitigated disaster, government is anything but prudent. The skillset of the average bureaucrat requires that he or she place short term gain above long term gain, even if he has to destroy the long term. That is exactly what is happening.

Think of it this way. We've all heard the story about th guy caught in a bear trap who gnaws off his leg as he sees the wolves approaching. Better to live without a leg than die at the hands of the wolf he figures. That's what government thinks. Unfortunately, the wolf is here and we're not going to get very far without the leg. The wolf has us where he wants us, and he will soon have a trail of blood to follow.

Bummer.

It has nothing to do with earnings and I have figured out, rather late, that it never has....at least as far as this rally goes.

Karl, you stated:

"NTAP is nonetheless a bellweather for corporate storage demand".

What are your thoughts on EMC? Would you consider it a bellweather for corporate storage demand?

Thank you.
