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.
accepted behind best clean companies earnings fact forecasts gotten growth half handful name percent quarter scenes season second stocks surface totally year
We've accepted the fact that the earnings growth for the quarter is around 20, 21 percent year-over-year for the S&P. But there's been this behind the scenes look or under the surface look at revenue. And we haven't got the best of forecasts for the second half of the year in many companies going forward. And if you don't have that pristine look -- where you come in this earnings season totally clean -- you've gotten battered. And I can't even name more than a handful of stocks that have come through.
companies dominating focusing investors market optimism reveal season signs traders turn waiting year
Traders are dominating this market when investors are just waiting for these pre-releases to really reveal what these companies look like. We're just waiting for the first signs of a turn and there's little optimism as we go through this pre-release season and no one is focusing on the second-half of the year (2001).
again basis buy coming concept dominate interest people points rate season weakness
I think there are going to be opportunities to buy the weakness because I think the pre-release season will dominate again ? I don't think there's going to be a significant drop, though.

close curve deal extremely federal high hope market meeting next note rally recession reserve slowing until worried yield
It was unanimous we'd have a year-end rally until the yield curve inverted. We wanted to close the market on a high note this year, but now we're worried that the 2006 market will have to deal with this. The next Federal Reserve meeting will be extremely critical. We have to hope this isn't predictive of a recession or a slowing economy.

energy fed hurricane major market quickly risks seemed worry
I still don't think we have the Fed out of the way. The Fed seemed to worry more on inflationary than longer-term risks to the economy, which was reacted to very quickly in the market yesterday. That story still lingers today, as well as another major hurricane that's ramping up energy costs.
