TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says stock prices may roll back, but techs and financials should be fine. The pain of the aftermath of mark-ups never goes away. We knew what was in store for us, as the mark-up folks don't like to play on the last day, especially with the newly vigilant Securities and Exchange Commission. I have to believe that this SEC will now become more interested in "the tapes," which would show clients asking brokers to take stocks up as much as they can, something that we know is against the law.
What comes up from mark-up must come down, and the most important "come-downs" should be in the industrials, because we have the least visibility in them. I do not believe the techs have as much to worry about, nor the banks, because both have excellent earnings prospects for the coming quarter. Why sell
Apple (NASDAQ:
AAPL) (
Cramer's Take) here? Why sell
Microsoft (NASDAQ:
MSFT) (
Cramer's Take)? And why dump
Wells Fargo (NYSE:
WFC) (
Cramer's Take) or
Bank of America (NYSE:
BAC) (
Cramer's Take) or
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:
JPM) (
Cramer's Take) when those have the best possibilities of good news ahead? I can see locking in some
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:
GS) (
Cramer's Take) gains, but that's going to be the best quarter of all.

Normally we think of revolutionary products created by start-ups or entrepreneurial minds just out of college, but the most talked about new projects of 2009 are being produced by some of the best known companies in the world.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN): With its massive online presence and a truly efficient business model, Amazon has become the largest online retailer in the world. It is now taking on a new business, web services, namely cloud computing (learn more HERE), called the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). While hosting this infrastructure and presenting e-commerce with a reasonably affordable alternative with no up-front costs, Amazon has taken an early lead in this space, with some believing its cloud computing business will one day overtake retailing. "Amazon will be like a book store that sells cocaine out the back door. Books will be just a front to sell storage and cloud computing." says Larry Dignan, Editor in Chief of ZDNet and Editorial Director of ZDNet sister site TechRepublic.
