Cheap!

Buy!!

Train leaving the station!!!

Look, I get it. I get every bit of it. I feel it. I want to own stocks. Look at that Boeing (BA - commentary - Cramer's Take). Who doesn't want in? Apple (AAPL - commentary - Cramer's Take) just turned positive. Exxon Mobil (XOM - commentary - Cramer's Take) is bulletproof. Potash (POT - commentary - Cramer's Take), when it ramps, it really ramps.

The big hedge fund names like Trinity (TRN - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Foster Wheeler (FWLT - commentary - Cramer's Take) finally feel better, perhaps because the Tontine/Gendell nightmare redemption is through.

I want in!

But in the end, I need something beyond a new Research In Motion (RIMM - commentary - Cramer's Take) phone or the usual manipulation up of Exxon. I need more than just Buffett's buying Eaton (ETN - commentary - Cramer's Take)! Stop trading Conoco (COP - commentary - Cramer's Take) -- the Oracle of Omaha loves it!

I tire of the need to be in.

I tire of the losses generated by being in.

Maybe that's because I can't trade for the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio.

But it always does look fabulous when it starts going up.

Better than ever.

At the time of publication, Cramer was long Eaton and Foster Wheeler.
