High growth is so right here. And the out-years are being valued so much higher because of the 10-year providing very little competition. I think there is a whole group of investors who have no idea about the importance of stocks being considered long-dated assets. The 10-year says that inflation will be very low, and that means the earnings from far away get discounted much more positively.
Medco Health (MHS - commentary - Cramer's Take) has a great story for 2012 because of the rollover of patented drugs to generics. That gets the value now too, again because of the paltry value of the 10-year. The inflation rate is so low, and the competition from bonds so meaningless, that Medco's numbers seem great. Which brings to tech. Why can't we start valuing Google's (GOOG - commentary - Cramer's Take) obvious revenue stream and its takeaway of big percentages -- gobs -- of advertising from the major players, the magazines and newspapers (how dangerous is that New York Times (NYT - commentary - Cramer's Take) stock?)? You can simply start taking those out-year gains to the bank. I see it for a host of stories, Cisco (CSCO - commentary - Cramer's Take), Amgen (AMGN - commentary - Cramer's Take) -- after this non-ruling -- Gilead (GILD - commentary - Cramer's Take) and anything else that is so high-growth that it makes bonds seem like a joke. Same with VMWare (VMW - commentary - Cramer's Take) (and hopefully EMC (EMC - commentary - Cramer's Take) besides that). That's what's going on right now. Growth is still cheap, and it will get more dear as time goes on. Which is why you need to be in it now. And it will only get better as long as the Fed stays as tight as it is. At the time of publication, Cramer was long EMC.
