Cramer has finally called the market toppy. It’s finally time to take a little off the table but I would not at all fear an end to this bull market. Maybe we are due for a five percent correction. The problem is if you sell are you quick enough to get back in? There is just too much money that wants in and will buy on any drop and it will go mostly to the market leaders.

Here are a couple of high yielding boring old Canadian blue chips that I like the look of:
BCE.TO possible double bottom; positive divergence on RSI(21) and almost 8% yield:

TD.TO in a triangle: possible move above short term down trendline could then test longer term down trendline ~ 85, along with a 4.8% yield, which is high for this bank.

Another Cramer long time piece of advice is that you own NVDA. Don’t trade it. It’s going much much higher just based on fundamentals.

The Daily SPX has pulled back to short term support at 5050. A break below this level would suggest a further pullback along with some scary “story”. Gotta have a story!!!!!!!
