Today is a digestion period after yesterday's rally. I don't see a big follow-through. But the momentum suggests that the direction is up. There's a lot of cash still sitting on the sidelines. |
Today's a good day, but it's a temporary, short-term rally. |
Unless there is a dramatic, clear-cut winner, which at this point is not statistically likely, there is little chance of this being resolved right away, ... I think both sides are automatically primed to challenge certain results. |

We are experiencing these extreme levels of fear, with investors saying that they are not interested in hearing any positives, like the retail sales this morning, and that they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, ... The silver lining is that this kind of panic is historically the classic feeling when a bear market is at its bottom. |

We have so many negatives, so why is this market still staying where it is? ... My contention is that earnings momentum will overcome any of these obstacles we're seeing. |
We seem to be driven by the technology stocks. Some of the earnings are not meeting expectations. |
We're back to the wonderful world of optimism. You have to be cautious what you do here. The question is: 'Are we getting ahead of ourselves?'. Will we see some volatility? You bet. |
We're looking at the headline news, but the market is being supported by the girders of the economy, a basic, strong foundation, ... I don't expect a dramatic rally from here, but we are very much on track for a high-single-digit, low-double-digit total return for the year. |
We're off to the races, and the market seems to be saying that we're going to see an economic recovery. I'm in the camp that we're beginning to see early indications of an economic recovery. |
We're reeling. Everything is up on the table and we are going to be under this cloud for a while. For a long time, people have been so focused on earnings that corporate America realized that they can get away with playing games with the balance sheet, and now it's catching up with them. |
We're so stretched out, so oversold at this point, that we have no idea what a potential snap back could be. This is like a hot, dry forest and one good spark is all we need for it to really take off. |
We've been given this embarrassment of riches where the market seems to want to go up every day, regardless of the news. |
We've had a big stock run since hitting the lows last March. Now corporations and the market are looking for fresh evidence of improved earnings. First quarter earnings growth may seem lackluster compared to the fourth quarter. I think rather it will be the second-quarter earnings that impress. |
