The transition to the newest Intel based PC's & Ipod products may not be going as smoothly as wanted , some channel checks suggest lower Ipod sales running below seasonality, and some putting off purchasing new Macs with sales of older products really slowingor just being removed from the shelves ... competition also from MSFT coming in with its newest version of a Pod-player ( and SNDK already has a beautiful player too ) haven't offered much in the way of positive catalysts for AAPL... in short, not many catalysts appear on the horizons after it broke support up around the $67 area .

AAPL was also removed from the IBD 100 list back on 3/20 , and that negative Barron's piece came out on the 19th

Think Cramer's picks going into march started to take on a more defensive mode , at least I could see that he was advising taking profits more often and he knew that the market was getting ready to go into profitaking mode.

Though he did a pretty good job with some calls for GS, LEH BSC & the large brokerages going into their earnings, and caused some extended momentum and pops in the small-cap Fibre plays & GLW , plus the recommends he made in the latest oil/energy sector momo's ....but you could have caught those too if following events since things stirred up in Iran & Nigeria .

** What is really kind of funny is him throwing in the towel on GOOG just on the day before of the S&P announcement on 3/21 , now that just made smile :
