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.

These companies are responding very nicely to improved budgets for exploration and production going forward,

He's a hard worker. I'm sure he'll do fine once he gets going. Not having run a draft room before will be an adjustment, but I hadn't done that either before I did it for the first time. Where he came up from the pro side, I came up from the college side, but he's a bright guy. He'll learn.
earnings focus good investors key leading money profit raise revision rising short sort stocks support
The key thing here is, we're sort of short on liquidity, so we don't have enough money to raise everything. Investors have to focus on good sectors with leading stocks especially with good earnings revision profiles, and where there's support for rising profit and expectations going forward,
best earnings fed gains good growth lift lowering next profit reasonably starts stocks though year
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.

It's giving an encouraging sign that an economic turnaround is around the corner. Sales and profit growth can't be too far behind.
areas begins bit companies consumer cyclical fed few general gives greenspan interest longer others postponed raise rates until
We also like some of the others from the cyclical areas like in the industrials, some of the freight companies like FedEx and ... also in the consumer discretionary, automobiles still look like they're good, ... Traditionally they will outperform until the Fed begins to raise interest rates and Mr. Greenspan has postponed that for a few months. That gives companies like General Motors a little bit longer to run.
choice choices defense defensive ends flexible guys hard movement premium
You have more choices on defensive linemen for the 3-4, ... There's such a premium on 6-5, 285-pound defensive ends and defensive tackles. It's hard to find those guys. You don't have to find big, big guys in that defense because it's all movement. There's more movement than toe-to-toe stuff. You can be more flexible with their movement.
assessment balanced beginning bias bottoms definitely economy fed huge inflation major playing ready risk sort stress
Everything's playing into the idea that the stress in the economy is beginning to ease. The Fed will take that bias away from inflation and make their risk assessment more balanced between inflation and growth. I think in all of the major indexes the bottoms have sort of been made here in October, and now we're ready to advance. I don't think it's a huge advance...trends are definitely in the investors' favor.
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,
