Microsoft (MSFT) and Twitter (TWTR): The Yin-Yang of the Markets

April 14, 2014 3:55 PM EDT

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is modestly lower amid a positive mention by Jim Cramer late last Friday.

During his Mad Money program, Cramer said that Microsoft is a stock that seems to determine which way the market is heading. The company is a low-growth, safe, low-P/E/ name with a new CEO and cloud and mobile first strategy. The company also pays a dividend, which helps with negative trading sessions, such was the case last Friday.

On the opposite side of the market is Twitter (NYSE: TWTR). The stock is expensive and highly-volatile, with no earnings or dividend payments to boot. He sees more pain in store for Twitter.

Shares of Microsoft are down, while Twitter is positive.
