“Tech's loved in the last couple of days, mostly because it has been so oversold. Today it's the IBM (IBM) effect, and it does seem a little silly because the problems ailing tech are consumer-oriented and IBM has no consumer orientation. I have liked Apple (AAPL) and Research In Motion (RIMM) -- right for a long time, really wrong lately -- and they can rally simply because they, like Qualcomm (QCOM), are giant tech names that are compressed to a ridiculous point given that the earnings are not falling apart. But Intel (INTC)? Does anyone know how they are really doing? Cisco's (CSCO) down, and that one I think is doing well, so we have a bit of an anomaly on that one. My take is simple: This group is the one that is driving the averages higher, and the financials keep it going lower. I want them to reverse and then I will like the market more! The only safe name? IBM! I would buy that one only up a couple. I am sure the tech analysts will be all over it tomorrow.
