There's going to be this flip-flop next week and continually until we get through earnings season, going from earnings to worrying about the economic slowdown and what inflation brings so I think next week is going to be marked by that, ... We're getting to the point where the market needs good earnings. It needs to have a catalyst to get the growth sector moving again. |
There's going to be this flip-flop next week and continually until we get through earnings season, going from earnings to worrying about the economic slowdown and what inflation brings so I think next week is going to be marked by that. We're getting to the point where the market needs good earnings. It needs to have a catalyst to get the growth sector moving again. |
There's more of a defensive style coming into the market. People are going to look for the opportunity to be in the market during this (results) season and will look at more defensive investments until we get through pre-releases. I'm no longer fearful of earnings, I'm fearful of the pre-releases. |
There's no (economic) stabilization yet, but it now brings the possibility of continued aggressive Fed moves. We're four cuts deep into an interest rate cycle and we're going to get a fifth. That's going to help the economy down the road -- it's not a question of 'Will it?' but it's a question of when. |
There's still some overhang from the accounting worries out there. |
There's worry about higher interest rates. The bond market has been very weak, and we can assume the higher interest rates are signs of a rebounding economy. This gives people a feeling of comfort, but we also worry about how rates are going to go and whether it will crimp economic activity further down the road. |
These are low consumer confidence numbers, more than likely affected by the hurricanes and high prices of energy. |
These companies' businesses haven't collapsed like tech companies' did. But they've withered and they're losing their reputations and their investor bases. |
These last few days have been consolidation, off of a good employment report and almost six weeks of gains. |
They (the Fed) did indicate that there could be further cuts and that was something Wall Street was starting to believe wasn't going to be the expected outcome. This is part of the recovery process. It's not going to happen immediately but this is the Fed understanding the weakness in the economy. |
They bought a lot of branches from Fleet, when they merged with Fleet Boston, ... I think you can look for 30 percent gains in that stock for the next two year. |
They'll (Cisco) express write-off concerns but I think we're looking at very similar stories like the other ones ? things are not improving greatly but we have better visibility. And I think the market is starting to react to that scenario. |
They're (investors) getting more confident in the economy yet I still say this is more of a psychological bottom put into effect, ... There's a good reason to believe that some profit-taking is in order ahead of the NAPM (National Association of Purchasing Mangers) numbers. |
They're (investors) looking for the Fed to be absolutely aggressive and see the economy as slow as can be and to be measured in terms of understanding how important the consumer is at this point. And how important the stock market is to consumer confidence. |
They're down around 15 to 20 percent from their highs. You've got an opportunity to buy some of these bank stocks at decent values here. |
