Stocks continued their irrational back and forth on Thursday, as the Dow climbed 103 points just a day after dropping 173 points. And that followed a 196-point jump on Tuesday. These seemingly pointless moves are enough to confuse any investor, especially when the same news that hurt the market yesterday (oil prices) took us right back up today.
So which move do you trust, up or down? Cramer thinks we go higher, basing his call on G.A.S. – Goldman Sachs [GS

]. Our hopes for a global economic recovery have been pinned on the banks, tech and oil, and these sectors led the rally that started in early March and lasted through much of May. If they perform well, the overall market should, too.
Forget all the other tells – the housing starts, durable goods, Treasury yields, oil inventories and unemployment claims. Investors should look only to the banks, tech and oil right now. Those who want a broader view of each sector can consider a few other stocks as well. In tech, watch Research in Motion [RIMM

]. And among the financials, JPMorgan Chase [JPM

] should give you a good idea of the market’s next move.
How have these stocks been doing? For the most part, incredibly well, which is why Cramer is so bullish. RIMM, Apple and Google have been breaking out of their ranges. Schlumberger, RIG and APC are on the rise almost daily. The banks’ performance has been a bit more mixed, but Goldman has more than doubled off its recent bottom. Cramer’s expecting JPM to jump a quick $4, back to its secondary offering price, and any increase in BAC is great news for all stocks.
But investors who want to keep it simple can stick with Cramer’s top three: Goldman, Apple and Schlumberger.
“As long as G.A.S. goes higher,” he said, “we’re going higher.”
Cramer's charitable trust owns Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.
