Cramer Note: Watch the Extra High Growth Companies
Only days like yesterday will bring me to be glued to the tv late into the evening. With that said Cramer will inevitably show up on my tv by default.
At any rate, yesterday he said to pay close attention to extremely high quality growth companies like GOOG,AAPL, AMZN, DECK, etc to see if the money is coming back to the table….to give you a sign that the sell off may be over.
Given today’s bounce or back and forth action, it would appear up till now, (10:31am,) not much buying interest is to be had in this here market.
