(The market is) very quiet, choppy, very, very volatile. There are a number of players that have already exited ahead of Christmas. In consequence, very little is going on so it doesn't take much to move the stock either way, up or down. |
A lot of people sensed the market was ripe for a rebound but it's just not happening. It's definitely not something that happens overnight, so in addition to time it's going to take some good earnings. |
An incredible turnaround today, the market was down and dirty early this morning and it came back gradually. |
I don't know how Toronto would be without Bell and Northern Telecom... those two stocks are helping to drive the market. If you look at New York...logically our market would be a little to the softer side. |
I don't think it's over for these companies, but in the short run I think they were overbought. |
I expect this market to remain extremely volatile and test everyone's patience for the next little while. |
I think people are full of bravado out there. There's no fear. |
I think the market correction is a slow bleed. It's being nickel-and-dimed to death. |
I think the rate cut was the worst-kept secret around. If they didn't do 50 basis points, the market would be concerned, because I think 50 basis points was in the marketplace. |
I'm surprised that the market bounced back so quickly, I thought there might have been a little more pain before it moved back up. But it looks like (Tuesday) was transitory. There's no fear; investors are still full of bravado. The perception is you just keep on buying the dips because they always come back. |
It is month-end. It's been a perky and prosperous January, so people are unsure whether they should go in and commit money right now with the market up 6 percent. It's had a nice move, so people are reticent. |
It was a tale of two stocks. |
It was extremely quiet, thin volumes. The markets were sufficiently thin that if you wanted to do anything of consequence, either buying or selling, you probably would have moved the market. |
It was extremely volatile, to say the least. It makes you dizzy. |
It was extremely, extremely quiet. It's largely a handful of stocks again that are leading the market. I'd like to see more breadth to the marketplace. It's like the dog days of summer, as they call it: not very much activity. |
