I think that overall we are in for a pretty good earnings quarter, and that may be a positive for stocks.
good indicator likely market past seeing today week
I think what you're seeing today and over the past week is a good indicator of where the market is right now and will likely be through the end of the year.
build dig element energy existing forward gas good holes key natural pipeline pump repair
I think that an important element of our energy going forward will be natural gas. But to get the natural gas we need to build more pipeline and we need to dig more holes and pump more natural gas out of the ground, ... As a result, we like natural gas. Key Energy will make the pipelines. It will repair the existing pipelines and keep them maintained. We think that is a good play in this area.
companies earnings good maybe negative percent positive range stock straight strong summer tone trading
I think we're in a good earnings season. So far, of the S&P 500, 139 companies have reported. Over 60 percent have been upward surprises, only 8 percent of them have really been negative surprises. So we're in a strong earnings season. That's good for the stock market, ... I think the market's in a trading range right now. I don't think it's going straight up from here. I don't think necessarily we're going to get a big summer rally, but maybe a positive tone to the market.
balance good lots sector stay technology tend volatile volatility
I think it's good even to stay invested. We tend to like technology. But if you like technology, you're going to have lots of volatility because that sector is much more volatile than the other sectors. If you don't like the volatility, then it's good probably to balance that with something else, some other sector.

Yeah, it was a good time, big boy.
choice good later market missing portion risking volatility

building companies energy expected expense good group hit key last negative number reported talked week
I've talked about Key Energy Group for a while, and Capstone is one of the companies that's building these micro turbines that I think actually just reported last week and had a more negative number than expected because they've ramped up some of their production, As a result, that hit their expense line, ... But I think that's a good idea going forward.
changed companies earnings good greenspan growth mostly rather reporting seeing showing start suggested verge
This has been a pretty good start to the earnings reporting period, with about two-thirds of the companies topping estimates, but I don't think anything's really changed yet, ... Greenspan suggested that we may be on the verge of a growth period, which would be significant for earnings, because mostly what you're seeing now are companies showing improvements on cost-cutting, rather than real growth.
although clear definitely last leadership likely numbers past picture signs technology turns
The PPI numbers look pretty good. I think the important thing to look at is when this thing turns around, and I don't know that we yet have a clear picture that we definitely are in a slowdown mode, although there are some signs that we have slowed down, which sectors are likely to do well. And I think the important thing, if you look past the last two weeks, is that there is really a resurgence of the leadership of technology and biotechnology.
finish fun game whether win
When you finish a game 0-0 and you go to a shootout, it's just no fun, whether you win or lose. It's more fun when you win, don't get me wrong.

We're nearing the end of the earnings period, we've already heard from the Fed, and there aren't a lot of big surprises out there for the rest of the month.
