Hot Names Handle the Knocks, Like It or Not

So Apple (AAPL - commentary - Cramer's Take), Amazon (AMZN - commentary - Cramer's Take), Google (GOOG - commentary - Cramer's Take) and MasterCard (MA - commentary - Cramer's Take) still have the power. They are still the tells. They have the consciousness of the market, and they can power anything.

They are the "go-to" names that don't relent when the oil futures get knocked.

The correlation has to be the oddest unless you respect the way money is run in this country. The momentum buyers just work this way. They have a built-in directive: "It is all clear, when Potash (POT - commentary - Cramer's Take) and First Solar (FSLR - commentary - Cramer's Take) are down, go purchase Apple and MasterCard." It's that simple.

In other words, if you understand what is happening in the oil futures, you can almost predict this move.

It's as ridiculous as the behavior I mentioned earlier.

Of course, Apple isn't alone. The Nasdaq futures at all about this same correlation.

Can't fight it; come to expect it.

At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in stocks mentioned.
