Here's the rub, writ large: Every single stock I key on, including several that have been absolute bow-wows, is now igniting. These are what I call lovey-blanket stocks, meaning that when you are bullish, they make you want to do some buying.
Tech: Google's (GOOG - commentary - Trade Now) getting a lot of good play on its cellphone operating system, which is about to be rolled out on Verizon (VZ - commentary - Trade Now), even though I am not a huge fan. The Apple (AAPL - commentary - Trade Now) short over lackluster Chinese demand is being muted today by stories about massive gray-market sales -- non-carrier -- which will buoy the numbers. Oil? Failed to go below the key $79 level and that's enough to ignite buying in the group. Maybe that great quarter from Marathon (MRO - commentary - Trade Now) is helping? Or maybe it is all the deal chatter I am hearing. Schlumberger (SLB - commentary - Trade Now), I guess, can go higher. Whatever, the buyers are emerging from the woodwork and my favorite stocks are roaring. I'm losing my pretend-bearish bent by the moment.
