ball game market positive selling talking time today
I think what we're doing today is selling into the rally. We're positive on the market for the time being, but once this thing is settled, we'll have to take another look. We'll have a whole new ball game -- then we're talking about the economy.
conducive environment jump reason selling time
The selling is just about over for the time being, but it's not an environment conducive to buying. There's not much reason to jump in.
correction everybody few last people recent reluctant stepped subject time
Everybody is doing a 'wait and see' after the recent run. In the last few months, every time we've stepped in too quickly, we've been subject to a correction shortly thereafter, so people are reluctant to commit.
area obvious protect protection
When you look on a map, it's an obvious protection of the watershed. Anything you can do to protect any riparian area is worthwhile.
bad currency feeling good huge market people profits specific stocks taking worries
We've had a huge run-up, and people want to take some profits right now. More than the currency worries or specific stocks with bad news, you've got good old-fashioned profit taking with people feeling that the market is overbought.
ahead eager earnings economy fairly feeling few good improving jump next people sitting weekend
I think people are sitting back right now and not too eager to jump in. Alternately, there's few sellers. All in all, I think there's a fairly good feeling that the economy is improving and that earnings should be good. There's some stalling ahead of the weekend and all the earnings next week.
attack corporate market news potential push rest today watching york
I think we're watching New York in a semi-depressing mood. There's a lot of apprehension and uncertainty about the potential for an attack and what's going on politically in the rest of the world. There hasn't been any corporate news today (Wednesday) that's been particularly terrible, but there's also nothing to push you into the market now.
confusion goes imminent market starts united
I think there was a lot of confusion in the market today. I think it's imminent that we are going to be going into Iraq. If (the United States) goes in and starts making more commitments, you'll see the market going up. Hopefully, we'll get some of this malaise out of the way.
creating cross currents
I think there are a lot of cross currents here and that's creating jitters.
optimistic people seen
People are getting more optimistic that we have seen the bottoming of the economy.
assuming extension monday next number rally surprises weekend
I think you'll probably see an extension of this rally next week, barring any surprises over the weekend and assuming the ISM number Monday is positive.
bad happen hear months october people september stock stocks wildly
You always hear that September and October are bad months for the stock market, especially October. I think there's a lot of caution. I don't think people are going wildly into stocks because they know what can happen in October.
economy investors people struggling sure work
I don't think investors are discouraged, they're just not sure what to do. People want to get this out of the way. We've got so many other things to work through, with the economy struggling and the budget.
cautious coming confident feeling friday good market normally people profit somewhat
I'm coming out feeling pretty good ... normally on Friday you get some profit taking. People are still somewhat cautious -- and the more cautious they are, the more confident I am that the market is going to go higher.
