[People may see this comeback as unusual, McCabe adds,] but it is actually what has happened historically. ... So all the fears of Sept. 11 are leading to a bottom and may be turning around the bear market of the past two years. |
A lot of those stocks really were a little bit extended. Any slightly bad news is a reason for them to come down. And many here had that experience. |
After a 4 to 7 percent decline in the major averages from their midsummer highs, the market appears to be in a bottoming process, ... This should eventually provide the foundation for a late 2005-early 2006 recovery during which those averages could moderately exceed, or at least challenge, their summer peaks. |
