Inflation will stay low. Interest rates will turn lower. Corporate earnings will continue to grow. And I think we can see the Dow by the first quarter of 1999 above 10,000. |
Investors should be out there, picking up some stocks that are trading near their lows or have bounced off their lows and I think that have good futures. And among them: AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) -- their wireless division came in on target, 25, 30 percent growth, and I think that's what is going to carry them. Stock is hovering around their lows here. I think it's a 'great buy.' And I think in the next market rally, that the stock will have a nice bounce. |
Investors will continue to monitor what happens in the economy because once the economy picks up, earnings will improve. |
It doesn't surprise me. We all know the House is going to vote to impeach the President. The fact is that economic times here in the United States are still quite good. |
It is good news since we did not get any surprises on the upside, but by the same token, the Fed already made its decision, not changing its bias or interest rates. |
It is obvious that the economy continues to grow and that the job market is growing. Today's numbers are offering investors a sense of relief that perhaps the Fed may not have to be too aggressive in raising interest rates. |
It looks as though the consumer isn't too worried about losing his job or spending his money. |
It might add to some short-term weakness, but it's not going to have any major effect. When you really analyze it, we had a good stock market in an era of gridlock. |
It takes a lot of guts to buy near the bottom, ... But smart money is made when nobody wants stocks. If investors take a long-term approach, I think they'll do very well. |
It's a busy week in terms if earnings with three sectors of the technology sector reporting. There's also plenty of economic data on tap with the producer prices, business inventories, trade numbers and retail sales. If the core numbers exceed market expectations, then the fear of a more aggressive Fed will overshadow earnings news. |
It's a cautious day at the end of an up quarter, ... I think we'll continue to see caution next week as we await the start of the third-quarter earnings reporting season, and look at some of the key economic numbers, particularly the unemployment number Friday. |
It's a little bit of a divergent market. There's some money on the sidelines coming into the tech stocks, and any meaningful rally from here will probably be led by the tech group. |
It's a pick-and-choose market here. My thought is that (the Fed) is going to stay pat and they're going to use some tough language. We're going to see a vigilant Fed, and that should keep the markets on the defensive. |
It's a relief for investors to see good earnings reports. It renewed confidence in the markets. |
It's a Santa rally. It's the year-end rally I've been predicting. |
