We think right now we're looking at a range in the intermediate term between [the current] level to 8,000 and down into maybe the 7,300 area. At the same time, as you look at those levels to the 8,500 target we see for next year, there's still good opportunity for gains.

We've been thinking that the Nasdaq, as an index, would likely outperform a lot of the other indexes this year. It's a lot about secular growth. We're seeing growth in technology. And for the most part, it's been a tech year.

I think today's action is a little bit of profit taking. There's some consternation in the bond market. We think this market in equities is going higher later this year.
