The high-tech sector is relatively weak; there's not a lot of conviction. It's lost favor with investors who would in the past see Nortel down a dollar and want to buy. We're not seeing that right now. |
The market drifted today. A lot of people were not in. People are concerned over profit warnings, missed revenue targets and that sort of thing. |
The market is bouncing a little bit. We're still anxiously awaiting earnings numbers. Consistently, we're getting profit warnings, but while there is concern, at the same time hope springs eternal that things will turn around. |
The market is fraught with indecision, a little bit of anxiety. People recognize summer is coming up and things sort of drift. The market has had a bit of a recovery and now we have to see the earnings come through. |
The market is like Sleepy Hollow today, there's very little going on and now there's fewer and fewer players out there. It drifts, it depends on the last trade. |
The market is obviously starting to zero in on earnings or lack thereof. |
The market is volatile, people are edgy; it's also very, quiet in spite of the volumes. I guess everyone's waiting for a catalyst, something to drive the market at this point. |
The market was thin and it was nervous. On balance, it was extremely quiet with not a lot of activity. It's disjointed, it's sporadic and if you take Nortel out, it would have been a completely different story. |
The picture in the stock markets is still very murky. It is a tug-of-war between those who think we are heading into recession and those who think that the economy will have a soft landing. |
The thing that we pride ourselves in and the thing we attempt to do is have consistent long-term performance. We may not be No. 1 over 12 or 18 months but we are consistently up there. |
The volatility was spectacular...this will fray everyone's nerves. Emotions are running very high, and they've taken a lot of stocks down. There's virtually no support. |
There is a recession already in some industries. And I think the key driver is going to be the consumer and how bad the unemployment rate is going to be, considering that layoffs are starting to pick up. |
There seems to be a bit of a switch toward high technology stocks again to the detriment of 'old economy' stocks. I won't say it is euphoria, but a little it of a relief rally. |
There's nervousness and people waiting maybe for another shoe to drop. It's not going according to (plan), most people had expected the market to be a little better. They expected a Santa Claus rally which was very muted this past year. |
Things aren't what they appeared to be. Nortel moved up because of good earnings and that took Bell up. Between them, because they're twins, they moved up smartly. |
