Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's

CMEC Investing Club warning meeting.

well when interest rates come down. Jeff, you know that this CPI is really in control today.

0:23.4

You don't buy the semis when you get a great CPI number.

0:26.6

You buy Best Buy and Stanley Buck and Decker.
