The fact that the Fed is remaining vigilant is positive for earnings growth. They see a robust economy and they see that continuing. |
The focus is on Vista and when they get that rolled out. Obviously, they need to keep to their schedule and get that out in the first quarter, but that means any ramp in revenue growth for this company is not going to come until the first quarter of next year. |
The market continues to raise the level of tolerance it has for high energy prices. |
The market has been responding well in terms of energy prices coming down, but those are very volatile numbers week over week. Any major swing from the consensus figure can add a lot of volatility. |
The market is reacting more to good news than to bad news at this point, ... Energy prices are certainly stabilizing off their peak, but it's pretty remarkable considering the headwinds we should be facing. |

The three things we'll digest this week are earnings and guidance for the fourth quarter, and the long-term forecast for energy prices. |
There?s an overall feeling that U.S. stocks may be able to extend their rally. |
We had a terribly horrible day going on until the later afternoon when we had a nice turnaround, ... There's clearly some bargain hunting going on. |
We're very oversold, corporate news is relatively good, consolidation in tech and telecom continues to go on, and bargain hunters are out there, |
We've had a relatively positive earnings reporting season, with most of it behind us, and the market has tried to price that in, so today may be a day where we try to sit back and digest some of our gains, |
We've had a very good week and there's been some profit-taking. It's nothing to be concerned about. |
We've had colder weather across the country, so we're back on the energy watch, and that's certainly going to have an effect on stocks. |
You look at the past three days, we're down, up and down again. Without any real catalyst, and really, without knowing what the Fed will do, we're going to bounce around here for a while. |
