bargains care chance energy flowing forward fourth grow health instead leaders led means might money move previous prices quarter rally summer sure talked technology third
I think if you are short-term trader, the idea is that the summer rally is probably going to be led by technology as we go up here in the near-term. And that means you're going to probably move away from some of the previous leaders. We talked a lot about health care, a lot about energy - some of that money is flowing back to tech right now. But I'm not sure that as we look forward to the third quarter and the fourth quarter, and we grow instead of 7 percent, more like 4 percent, some of those prices are going to come down too. I think you might look for some bargains in health care and energy here, during the sell-off. In technology, I'd look for some big leaders who have a chance to come back.
against begin coming companies continue far fourth growth nice people profit quarter quarters rate retail slow slowing sort third tough until worry
We have had really spectacular profit reports, by and large, from most companies so far in this quarter. I think retail will be a disappointment, going forward. But, up until now, without any retailers, we've had a nice run. But people have been saying, you know, first of all, the growth rate has slowed from the first quarter to the second, and then the projections are that they will continue to slow down in the third and fourth quarters - we're coming up against really tough comparisons. And I think you know as people look to sort of the slowing of the growth rates, they begin to worry about valuations.
available bad below country drained fail financial flow good growth happening increases june last money news number overall people punished raising rates rewarded since sooner starting supply system worth
We've been raising rates in this country since about June of last year, so we've had over a year's worth of rate increases starting to flow into the market. That has slowly, but surely, drained liquidity out of the overall financial system in America. So money supply growth has been below nominal GDP growth now for a number of months. So what's happening is slowly, but surely, there's just not enough money out there available to make everything go up all at the same time. So that's why rallies fail sooner than you expect, and why you know people get punished more for bad news than they get rewarded for good news,

So one of the tricky things will be to get people to stop focusing purely on subscriber growth and start thinking more about revenue per subscriber.

I think next year is going to be a reasonably good year. When the Fed starts lowering rates, even though profit growth will be really poor, often some of the best gains in stocks come when earnings are doing poorly, because you're getting a lift from price-to-earnings ratios rising.
