entry investors looking might
Biotechnology is not going away and if investors are looking for an entry point, this might be it.
alert earnings focusing forward fourth looking moved people rather technology
Technology has done well, not necessarily because of the crash, but because it has moved up the alert that the market's concentrating on a 2002 recovery. Rather than focusing on the earnings that are going to come out in the fourth quarter, people are looking forward rather than near-term.
bad forward looking market news piece recovery
Every piece of bad news that comes out in the market ... is ignored, ... looking forward to 2002, in the second-half, when a recovery is going to be in effect.
change dramatic forward hikes hurt looking people rate statement
I think people are looking forward to the end of rate hikes and if there's no dramatic change in the wording of the statement tomorrow, that could hurt the market.
abandoning companies count economic estimates half happening looking match missed people point reality second wrong
I think people are just abandoning technology, especially when you can't count on a 'Nokia' that hasn't missed (expectations) in years. The point is that there's nothing wrong with these companies - what's wrong is that analysts were not looking at the second half of the year. What's happening now is estimates are going to come down to match the reality of the economic situation.
concerned direct economy effect either expect hikes interest line looking market number rate remain tame
I expect (ECI) to be very tame and show now inflation. It's the GDP I'm concerned about. If either one doesn't come in line (with expectations), the market will remain under pressure, ... I'm looking at the GDP number because that's going to give us a direct causal effect to how well the interest rate hikes have slowed the economy down.
bad behind believe bush concern eventually forget friend future growth looking market nonsense overseas percent president russia terrorism trying versus
I believe that the future of McDonald's is going to be their international growth. Let's not forget what President Bush is trying to do in Russia. Russia eventually is going to have to be our friend versus all this nonsense terrorism that's going on in the world, ... So, does the overseas market concern me? It doesn't because they are looking to marginalize that growth of 1-to-2 percent and diversify at the same time. I think the bad things are behind it and I like the stock.
avoid backbone bank believe clear companies cyclical earnings fed good growth looking means people provide retail security slowing stability stocks technology toward
You have to be careful. There are not many sectors that are doing well out there. This is a slowing economy. People are looking for security of earnings. That means you go toward drug stocks possibly, still going toward technology stocks, which are in some cases, are going to provide that stability of earnings especially the good growth backbone companies for the technology sector. Avoid cyclical stocks, avoid retail stocks. Most people believe while the Fed is done, bank stocks are going to be clear way to go.
anticipate believe cuts group investors likely looking market rate recovery start stock
There is a substantial group of investors who believe the stock market will start to anticipate an (economic) recovery. The more rate cuts we get, the more likely the recovery is -- I'm looking at this as a 'buy the dip' opportunity.
absolutely aggressive consumer economy economy-and-economics fed looking market measured slow stock terms understanding
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.
accumulate aware easier fed great investor late looking next problems rally small start stock summer tech technology three trading vigorous weak worried
I think it's too late to be worried about where your tech stock is going to go from here. There are some opportunities out there and we are aware of the short-term problems in the marketplace with the Fed being aggressive. So, we're not looking for a very vigorous rally over the next one to three months. There will be trading rallies. But the investor, the small investor, the intermediate-to-long-term investor should use the summer time, which is seasonally weak for technology stocks, to start to accumulate an easier way into some of these great companies,
future looking market
It is a market looking at the future.

People are just looking at the fact there was no other news out there today since the LSI earnings to really affect the market but there was a little bit of bargain hunting. LSI was a sector story but it was enough, with the nervousness going into tomorrow, to bring some selling onto the market.
action companies critical earnings good guidance looking markets months news next premature react six toward
I think we're looking at nothing but good news on the earnings front. It will be more critical to see what guidance these companies give us toward the next six months to one year. Today's action is a little too premature to say how the markets will react to earnings.
