4 Tech Buys And A Sell From Jim Cramer

For the week ending February 8 2013, Jim Cramer covered more companies with a bearish tone. Of the 39 calls made, Cramer was bearish on nearly one-quarter, or 25%. This is a slight increase from the previous week, in which 20% of the companies mentioned were negative. The Nasdaq Index (QQQ) rose around 0.49% for the week, while the S&P 500 (SPX) continued its ascent, up 0.37%. [Related list: 3 Buys, 2 Sells from Jim Cramer as Dow Reaches 14,000]
