Cramer's new 'Four Horsemen of Tech'

More

On tonight's MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer has some names to fall back on after you have two bad tape days like this. His idea and concept is the NEW 4-Horsemen of Technology: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and that was his #2 GROWTH PICK FOR 2007, Research-in-Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), and surprisingly Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN). These are all the names you'll want to buy as the end of summer gets here and the techs start running. Cramer said you aren't necessarily supposed to buy them all here.

The four retiring Horsemen of Tech are Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO). These were the leaders of the 1990's but are still down huge from their highs back in the bubble-days. Cramer said he likes Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) still and he still likes Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), although it's odd he was sort of negative with that being his #3 GROWTH PICK FOR 2007. He thinks Microsoft is sort of a 'don't buy" and he thinks Intel has lost its way.

The ones being booted were easy to tell, although they aren't necessarily dead per se. It was a bit surprising to see Amazon.com here since Cramer has only recently been endorsing it again after a long, long time of bludgeoning it as overvalued and not doing well. All of these others are technology plays that Cramer keeps talking about almost day in and day out. In fact, when Cramer gave the title of his of series for tonight I knew what 3 of the 4 new ones would be because he talks about these all the time (with Amazon as the unknown 4th spot). It is probably also worth noting that these may be the next go-to names, but there are probably 10 other stocks that might only be emerging that have not yet made the runs that these others have.
