I think that one of the problems that lingers with us from the last five years, with every one jumping into the market, is that we need instantaneous results. |
I think there's a lack of conviction. I think a lot of people view the market as a crap shoot -- if you're worried about losing your job, you're not going to be playing the market. |
I think there's a sense that a whole lot of the uncertainty, whether it's on the economic front or the electoral front, may be coming to an end. They're first sheltering themselves in blue chips and safety but, as confidence builds up, it will start to trickle down into the Nasdaq. |
I think these stocks, from a risk-reward point of view, have a lot of upside potential as well as something like an American Express, again, because of the credit risk out there, |
I think this week was the week that broke the bear's back. |
I think were heading into next week with a head of steam we haven't seen for some time. |
I wasn't surprised investors began pulling back at the close. Even though the run-up was huge, there wasn't a lot of volume there. |
I would be surprised if some smart managers don't go near some of the exiting stocks, particularly on weakness in stocks like Unilever -- well-run and has been able to grow through acquisitions. But I don't think anyone can construe this as a no-confidence vote on these stocks that are cut, but just as a different route by the S&P committee, |

I'm a little bit impressed because it seems like every time we start to drift buyers are being wooed out of the woodwork a bit. It shows that people are lining up and they want to jump in there but they need the right stimulus. |
I'm encouraged by the fact that there's some buying on the dips. I think what's happened over the past several months is we don't know how to respond to news because we really don't know what we want from news. |
I'm hoping that it's accompanied with encouraging language. |
if someone were to call the stock from you, you wouldn't have to go out and buy it -- you could just deliver the stock. The great thing is it's a contract so you know what the price is going to be and there's not a lot of guessing there. |
If we can see a dramatic decline in unemployment, perhaps 4.4 or 4.5 percent, that would certainly put Wall Street in a better frame of mind. |
If we get this trend and in fact we're seeing a soft landing to the economy we are going to get a summer rally. |
