 Market Analysis
  • Let Broadcom, Marvell and their ilk come down before you buy them again.
  • Ideally, buy them on a downgrade; we need to let negativity build.
  • Buy into growth in aerospace, infrastructure or generic drugmakers.

Have Broadcom (BRCM - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Marvell (MRVL - commentary - Cramer's Take) run out of gas? I believe the question really is, "Have all the shorts been brought in and is there enough fuel to go to the next level?"



I, for one, am adamant that you have to let these stocks come in before you buy them again. When would I buy them? On a downgrade. We need some negativity to build. These are not like the oils, where the earnings are going up so much that the multiples are low. We can't get multiple expansion right here, right now in this group because it has had such a run.

Let these stocks cool. It doesn't help that rates are going higher; that always works against the group. Plus, nothing wrong with declaring victory. It's Microsoft's (MSFT - commentary - Cramer's Take) turn.

The only place where I can still advise buying into growth up here, away from infrastructure or aerospace, is in the generic space. The Cardinal (CAH - commentary - Cramer's Take) /AmerisourceBergen (ABC - commentary - Cramer's Take) /McKesson (MCK - commentary - Cramer's Take) growth ramp is still in its ridiculous infancy. I say "ridiculous" because the thesis of drugs coming off patent is so darned obvious that you would think it eventually would be priced it. It isn't. The mutuals are still buying these with every new dollar. These stocks will advance even as tech bides its time to shed a few points.

Random musings: Stocks that are priced under $10 is the other place I am seeing exciting moves. Keep that cohort -- and your Baedeker to that cohort, Stocks Under $10 -- in mind here. ... Don't forget, the "Mad Money" college tour is coming! First stop, Harvard, Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Here's your chance to pick the stock you'd like me to feature on my radio show Feb. 2:
Chipotle
VeriSign
Disney
Juniper
Caterpillar
Sony

REMEMBER to listen in on Thurday for my take on the stock that wins this poll!
