I think the earnings will be good but not great, and the market will react accordingly. Some people argue that stocks may have already priced in that the numbers will be fine, but I think you're going to continue to see stocks rising. The S&P 500 potentially has room to add another 6 to 7 percent in the near term. |
I think the market is going to rally right around election time because of a very oversold condition. We have a market that is way oversold so I think it is going to bounce. |
I think we had normal consolidation here. It seems like people are banking on a better second half. I don't think it's going to run away, but it's going to get gradually better. |
I think when we start to get strong numbers, that's when we take off again. |
I very firmly believe the worst is over. |
I would still call it a trading-range market. It's nice for today and the short term, but I doubt it's sustainable. |
Intel's the story of the day. |
It certainly seems like it would fit them (Citigroup) like a glove. The whole financial sector is in this consolidation mode, but, boy, it is sure helping the stock prices. |
It looks like this afternoon we're back to focusing on interest rates. The employment cost index is one thing that (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan watches. |
It seems like money is coming out of technology, and going into more defensive plays. I'd rather see a broadening out, even within technology. |
It's all the ISM number. We started the morning where it seemed like no one was gonna invest, and then all of a sudden, the number comes out and the buyers are back. It's kind of a big surprise. |
It's Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. We're fighting this negative bias across the board. |
It's very sad that Opus Dei and the Catholic Church were portrayed unfairly in the novel. What we're trying to do is take advantage of the interest to explain what the real Opus Dei is all about. |

Next week is big. It's a big earnings week, and it's a big 'show-me' week. |
