Beyond that, it's hard to discern themes. We have the dueling Fed: Beige Book says housing is cooling but one of the Fed spokespeople says inflation is heating up. We have some funky tech, off Altera's (ALTR - commentary - Cramer's Take) reduced guidance, and we have a break-out of Google (GOOG - commentary - Cramer's Take), which better start making its move if it is going to get to my $350 target in time for year-end. I am sure this day is truly taxing the shorts, because we have had very few up big days that have been followed by days where more gains were had. I keep reminding people that we have a very long month ahead, and we have lots of stocks that have gotten beaten down within the context of gasoline and oil going higher, all of which can catch their breaths and go higher. To me, catch-up is natural. The losers get to win, too. Higher, then lower. That's the ticket.
