TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says that absent any catalyst beyond "cheap," the sector looks set to disappoint.

When people say "tech" on TV, it is almost always followed with "cheap," or "low valuation." To which I say, "So what?" AMD (NYSE: AMD) (Cramer's Take) looked cheap until last night. Motorola (NYSE: MOT) (Cramer's Take) looked cheap and there turned out to be no there there. Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) (Cramer's Take) looks cheap but all I hear are earnings cuts. Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) (Cramer's Take) looks cheap, but who cares?

Lots of cheap out there.

Here's my question: where's the catalyst?

Shorts? Stronger growth in the second half? No, the only catalysts I look for in tech are product cycles, and other than Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) (Cramer's Take) (nice move there), Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) (Cramer's Take) and maybe Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) (Cramer's Take), because we need a new phone there already, there are no new product cycles to speak of.
