The impact of the
Sun Microsystems(SUNW - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) news will be felt immediately ... in a further rise of the
Amazon(AMZN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)/
eBay(EBAY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)/
Yahoo!(YHOO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)/
InterActiveCorp(IACI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) cohort. That's because mutual fund managers who have been trying to buy "value-growth" in names like Sun Micro and
Oracle(ORCL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) will now throw their hands up and buy no-value-growth.
For many of you, the concept of buying growth at any cost is alien. The other night I predicted a further rally in Amazon on my television show -- which, by the way, I have been exquisitely right about -- and I got hit with ballistic emails from the four corners of the globe. People wanted to know how I could talk that way about Amazon!
That's not what I am saying. I don't own Amazon; it is too rich for me. I care about valuation. But most money is run the mutual-fund way, and with the exception of the index funds and a couple of well-known value guys, most money is run the way I am describing. That's why this Sun news, on top of the Oracle news, will cause more buying to occur in the more outlandishly valued areas of the market.
Not a recommendation, just a fact.
