Apple (AAPL), Monster Worldwide (MNST), Gannett (GC), New York Times (NYT), Google (GOOG)

Even Apple's fantastic numbers could not bring up the Nasdaq Composite because tech is not yet in in bull mode; "I regard Apple very much as a fashion show stock, meaning that it is a trend stock and not necessarily linked to PC users," Cramer said. He added the stagnation in the Nasdaq is normal following a run-up and the S & P 500 is " a source of gravity" and "a source of propulsion." Concerning the Federal Reserve, the bulls hope it notices that any company more than 70% domestic has done poorly. One such stock is MNST which he sees as a potential takeover and a "way out" for GC's struggling newspaper business. He commented both MNST and NYT discussed the lackluster internet advertising, and Cramer declared GOOG the winner in such declines; "The reason why it's bad for everyone else is that Google offers more value."
