Let's go over the stocks you were supposed to sell during this stretch. I heard negative things about Google(GOOG Quote - Cramer on GOOG - Stock Picks). Sellers of Google, have you thought about the disintegration of Yahoo!(YHOO Quote - Cramer on YHOO - Stock Picks) and IAC/InterActiveCorp(IACI Quote - Cramer on IACI - Stock Picks) in front of your eyes? Those are the competitors. Microsoft's(MSFT Quote - Cramer on MSFT - Stock Picks) MSN? Insistent on not doing a good job. Time Warner's(TWX Quote - Cramer on TWX - Stock Picks) AOL? It has degraded its brand with endless ads and new editions of AOL that load you up with ads. That won't cut it. Meanwhile, Google just keeps innovating. You were supposed to sell Apple(AAPL Quote - Cramer on AAPL - Stock Picks). Wasn't that one dead? If you were s scale seller, you were able to buy some back perfectly and rebuild your position to be able to sell it into the launch and buy it right back. Those who sold none are doomed to repeat themselves. MasterCard(MA Quote - Cramer on MA - Stock Picks) was supposed to be dumb here, tapped out. Plus we were headed into Visa-ville. Forget it; this story gets more exciting because I believe fees will soon be raised. The secular trend out of cash into cards remains a key driver. Everything housing and auto was supposed to be chucked. But GM's(GM Quote - Cramer on GM - Stock Picks) leading this rally and I now believe that Toyota(TM Quote - Cramer on TM - Stock Picks) could tack on a quick $10. Meanwhile, Whirlpool(WHR Quote - Cramer on WHR - Stock Picks) is breaking out. Deere(DE Quote - Cramer on DE - Stock Picks) was supposed to fail here on the top in corn. I heard this stock written off by everyone and his brother. Caterpillar(CAT Quote - Cramer on CAT - Stock Picks) got downgraded; housing was supposed to matter. The farmers keep getting richer; Caterpillar's an infrastructure play. I got the call over and over again to sell Freeport-McMoRan(FCX Quote - Cramer on FCX - Stock Picks). Copper was going to crash. A couple of strikes and an activist filing later and the stock ramps higher. What a joke the bears played on us! When Exxon(XOM Quote - Cramer on XOM - Stock Picks) -- the key to this market -- broke down to $82, I saw the freakout. It quickly reversed and now has some real momentum to go to $90, where I think it is headed.
