Home Gamers could never buy enough Apple to move the share price, but the big money managers can purchase stock in the hundreds of thousands and even more. Taking such a large quantity out of the market bumps up the price just because of the simple law of supply and demand. In a nutshell, big funds are using their weight to make a quick buck after missing the strength in these stocks. Cramer said this is what has been pushing the Four Horsemen higher most recently.
But all this artificial buying, as Cramer called it, will stop with the end of the quarter on Friday. Historically, this has caused a rapid decline in the stocks, he said. So while Cramer expects upward revisions when the GOOG, RIMM and AAPL report earnings, driving the share prices higher, he still thinks it prudent to take some profits before the stocks take a quick dip.
