If you take a look through the chart books, as I do every weekend, you would be astonished to see the rally in the software stocks, and not just in the potential targets, but in companies like Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) (Cramer's Take) and Microsoft, too.

Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) (Cramer's Take) and Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) (Cramer's Take) act great. Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) (Cramer's Take) seems to be breaking out of its doldrums. Even old dogs like BMC Software (NYSE: BMC) (Cramer's Take) are having their day in the sun.

What's happening? I think that with $24 billion in acquisitions already in the second quarter of this year, we are beginning something that's been predicted for 10 years -- an actual consolidation in an industry that has shown little to no rationalization in a decade.

We know the companies have war chests. Cisco has raised a lot of money, NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) (Cramer's Take) has raised money. EMC (NYSE: EMC) (Cramer's Take) has raised money. The last two are in a bidding war for Data Domain (NASDAQ: DDUP) (Cramer's Take) that seems to be incapable of producing a loser, as all of the stocks involved have been in the move.

I have not hesitated to criticize those who say this rally has produced "too much too soon." But when it comes to this group, I have to tell you that unless we do see another takeover besides Data Domain, I think many of these stocks have become too expensive without takeovers and a more robust economy.

These aren't just in bull market mode. They are in super bull market mode, without the fundamentals to justify them.

Time to ring the register. It's been a fabulous run. Past here and it is all greed.
