Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.

Warren Buffett

Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.

Warren Buffett

Earnings growth has been surprisingly low for drug stocks and there is more of that to come as we go through a cycle of patent expirations, ... But I think the stocks are close to being washed out and if you have patience they will do quite well over a longer period of time.

Daniel Boone

There was a rumor of a terror alert that affected U.S. stocks and raised some concern in Brazilian markets as well.

Flavio Datz

It was made for me. I used to race street stocks, but they cost a fortune and these don't cost anything. I think I won enough money to pay this car off already. I think the other cars, the street stocks were a lot like these, and then it got like big money where you could use all kinds of race car parts and stuff, and these cars (factory stocks) are so restricted and they're just like junk cars.

Rob Longo

This was well flagged, but these stocks will be quite tetchy this year. The bill's proponents appear to think this is their best chance in years.

Greg Feehely

The Dow tested it this morning and didn't break it. That's when buyers scrambled to use it as an opportunity to take some stocks that have been beaten down.

John Pickett

My work suggests the next major move in those names will be down. Since technology stocks tend to be high-expectation stocks, when those expectations roll over, the sector does badly.

Brian Rauscher

There are no real reasons for the stocks to fall, but turnover stays fairly low and they are slipping.

Andre Caminada

If it decides to scrap the policy, I think investors will see that as a signal to buy stocks. But if the BOJ decides to postpone ending the policy until its next meeting in April ... there will be disappointment.

Toru Otsuka

Companies have to knock the cover off the ball to get their stocks moving again. They have to surprise the Street by a ton.

Ted Parrish

I think the story is done on those stocks.

Neill Pickering

We deem this a positive for the stock given that media stocks are now primarily viewed as value stocks that need to deliver free cash flow to outperform.

Benjamin Swinburne

When the fund began, there were dozens of technology stocks on our recommended list because of the so-called 'Asia Contagion,'.

John Buckingham

There's no Federal Reserve meeting this month, which gives rate-sensitive stocks a window to recover.

Linus Yip

Tech stocks are on the sale rack. Unequivocally, investors are bargain-hunting.

David Sowerby

Bank One has got one of the best credit card divisions, ... The perception of investors is that financial services stocks are affected by interest rates and they're not.

David Dreman

As in the previous session, there were a handful of star stocks that were not strong enough to ignite an across-the-board advance.

Alvin Teng

The fact that oil broke close to US$60 today caused a drop in S&P 500 energy stocks.

Jim Paulsen

Stocks are still overvalued.

Fred Sears

The pattern has given rise to the adage, 'Sell in May and go away' with respect to stocks.

Frederic Ruffy

Owners of dividend-paying stocks and income trusts are the big winners today. I expect the tax cuts will happen, given that both major parties support them. That's very positive for the market.

Bill Shaw

However there is, of course, some concern about overheating with some of these tech stocks.

Tatsuyuki Kawasaki

We are seeing investors get out of oil and mining stocks and recycle back into the banks and financials. They are moving away from value stocks back into growth stocks.

Justin Urquhart Stewart

The market's noting that earnings are good, the economy is doing well, and yes, interest rates will rise, but not dramatically. Interest rate sensitive stocks are starting to come back after falling in the last few weeks.

Brian Bensch

In an up cycle, it is very difficult to forecast the velocity of the earnings growth. Therefore, Wall Street prices in a premium for these stocks because it's human nature to be conservative.

Brian Alger

GM and Ford rattled the hedge fund trade, brought back memories of Long-Term Capital, ... That's why the bank stocks were weak.

Vince Farrell

When you have this kind of problem, it calls into question the entire system. As an investor, you question whether the liquidity in that market is there, whether you can buy or sell exactly when you want to. And maybe you decide to sell off your stocks if you don't trust the system.

Yakov Amihud

Since the beginning of the month, Exxon has outperformed its peers by over 6%, leaving the company trading at a significant premium to the group. As such, we are downgrading Exxon to neutral, as the stock's valuation is not as compelling.

Jennifer Rowland

Citigroup being a big new buyer does put a little more consolidation potential in the mid-sized bank stocks.

Tom Finucane

A decline of stocks is providing a chance for investors to buy bond. People were waiting for bonds to rebound.

Tsutomu Kawasaki

You've seen continued good performance on commodities' prices and the fact that the rand didn't break through the 6.0 (against the dollar) level is giving the market a bit of support on the resource stocks.

Greg Potter

The question is: Is it economic recovery or government spending [that has boosted the yen recently]? I tend to think it's the latter. There is little incentive to buy Japanese stocks at the present time, and really, little incentive to buy yen.

Lee Ferridge

With stocks at 47.9 pct above the five-year average, any upward momentum on futures prices is expected to be modest.

Ben Weagraff

We don't believe this is any major result of a fear of large cap stocks. It's the idea you should have broader diversification.

Gus Sauter

If yields return to trend line in 2006, soybean production is likely to decline. However large beginning stocks could lead to record total supplies.

Pat Westhoff

Investors bought telecom stocks without asking difficult questions about where the data market was going last year.

Joe Locke

Real estate developers and other related stocks retained their gains well.

Mamoru Maeda

We're starting to catch the technology wave and stocks tied to Internet are the stand-outs.

Julio Ziegelmann

But I can't say it's a no-brainer that these stocks will grow, because they face so many challenges.

Kris Jenner

If you can't hide in drugs, where can you hide? ... Drug stocks have been dependable, a good defensive play, a good place to hide, and now this.

Paul Mcmanus

Stocks are looking up due to broader optimism about the U.S. economy. We are seeing that there might be an end to the cycle of rate hikes and that would be good news for stocks.

Jonathan Monk

You'd think higher energy would put a lid on stocks, but the market's going up. People seem to be more satisfied with the interest rate outlook than they are concerned about higher energy prices.

Bob Basel

Chip stocks are testing trough valuations but if we have a seasonal pickup the downside is somewhat limited. But if you don't get that seasonal pickup, then chip prices drop and inventory gets dumped in the channel. That's when havoc ensues.

Patrick Ho

We don't disclose the strategy we use when buying or selling stocks when they're added to or taken out of the index.

John Demming

What we try do is cover a broader representation of Internet stocks for our investors. So we tend to invest in a number of sub-segments, within the Internet sector, B2C, B2B, infrastructure software, infrastructure hardware, and so on and so forth.

Bob Grandhi

Splits generally are positive for stocks if theyre done at the right time. The timing on this one looks OK.

Ian Witters

The stock has pretty much been flat for the last couple of years, ... but the hurt is relative because a lot of airline stocks have gone down the drain.

John Buckingham

Movements have been small as the market plays wait-and-see with U.S. stocks.

Hiroichi Nishi

All members look to see what stocks we could be interested in adding. The financial partner contacts our broker prior to the meeting and checks on the prices of stock and how we're doing.

Betty Nostdahl

Foreign investors are stepping up purchases of Japanese stocks and that is the main reason the market has held up so strongly in recent weeks.

Koichi Seki

The Fed made it reasonably clear they will raise rates again. The Fed is impacting the Dow stocks and not impacting the Nasdaq stocks.

Alan Kral

With semi stocks, if you're not buying when there are mistakes then you're chasing momentum and that's historically proven to be a difficult strategy. Investors should take advantage of controversy.

Cody Acree

Trend is the friend in this market and certainly traders wouldn't like to bet against the commodity stocks in this environment.

Guy Hutchings

I think this is a battle between people taking profits and people afraid they haven't been participating, by not having enough (commodities-related stocks) in their portfolios.

Julie Brough

There's been a lot of speculative money going into commodities and commodity-related stocks. But there are still good long-term bets. You have just got to get your money-management right and buy when they aren't loved.

Mark Tinker

Food stocks for refugees living in Zambia will run out completely by March this year.

Jo Woods

Stocks are only getting cheaper and cheaper, and the U.S. economy is strong as are corporate profits. I was bearish on U.S. equities earlier this year but have now turned positive.

Claes Ahrel

There's been a positive sentiment on stocks all week. Companies in Europe are showing decent growth.

Francisco Salvador

There aren't many consistent big summer stock winners. In our sector watch, biotech is the one sector that tends to perform well in the summer months, starting in August, and July tends to be the best summer month overall for the S&P 500 stocks.

Jeffrey Hirsch

Even though the Fed is raising rates and stocks are volatile, we haven't seen much impact on either income growth or consumer confidence, which will provide support for spending in the second half of the year.

Tim Rogers

It's been a 'no-brainer' momentum market where securities analysis isn't important, and now you have almost dangerous valuation levels on those stocks.

James Awad

You've got a lot of factors lifting stocks today, ... You've got all the tech upgrades, money flowing out of gold, oil and the bond market, and the ISM this morning was all-in-all pretty good.

Peter Green

We've had colder weather across the country, so we're back on the energy watch, and that's certainly going to have an effect on stocks.

Arthur Hogan

Earnings will be an important driver of momentum for stocks. Everyone is looking at what the impact of interest rates will be on the bottom line.

Lex Bouwmeester

We've got deteriorating economic fundamentals still. We're probably in a mild recession, but the question is will the consumer keep buying and will the investor keep buying stocks.

Jim Melcher

Bonds will probably stay lower as traders may prepare for the auction. Bonds also will be capped by gains in stocks, along with rising U.S. Treasuries yields.

Hidenori Suezawa

The breadth was much better today than yesterday and I think that's a pretty encouraging sign. More stocks were participating and I think at least a portion of the rally is going to carry on Monday morning. But what I'd like to see is stocks up another 100 on Monday on decent volume and then be able to hold at that level. I'd like to see the Dow above 8,000.

Jeffrey Benton

A lot of the domestic-demand stocks, which have been our focus, are at elevated valuations now.

Malcolm Wood

There's a more comfortable feeling across the market. People are starting to look back at fundamental valuations and that has pushed 'old economy' stocks back up.

Ian Harnett

There's demand in all of the resource stocks. It's going to continue. There's clearly long-term growth.

Brian Tora

Finance sites are attractive to advertisers as they tend to represent a pretty good demographic. It of course depends on the quality of the site, but it stands to reason that people who spend time reading about money and stocks, et cetera, probably have some money to invest.

Brian Mcandrews

The stock's valuation ... has declined.

David Pringle

Those resources stocks were starting to look stretched after a really good year last year, so all it takes is a drop in commodities across the board for them to come off. Some stocks will benefit, though, particularly the manufacturers as their costs go down.

Lucinda Chan

The market's interest in millennium-related stocks is also supporting such shares . Other sectors aren't looking that exciting at the moment.

Toshihiko Matsuno

Stocks are not expensive. There's a lot of bad news the market has shouldered. I don't see inflation as a threat at all.

Doug Sandler

The market is looking forward to signs of accelerating profit growth, which could add potential to stocks.

Juergen Lukasser

November typically marks the beginning of the growth season in stocks. This is due in large part to pension fund buying patterns, which have produced an average gain of 5 percent from November 1 to January 31 over the last 50 years.

Doug Fabian

It might be too early to call [this] the bottom, but we think we are very close to the bottom on Internet stocks. Once we get officially past these rate fears, than one can expect some kind of rally in the group.

Frederick Moran

A lot of bears feel the only reason stocks are up is because the Fed is pumping money into the system.

Brian Reynolds

My mouth is open. I just can't believe that stocks have managed to rebound so quickly. Cash flow is certainly a positive story.

Melissa Brown

The continuing selling by overseas investors set the weak tone in the market. When the GDP didn't provide any surprises, you would hardly expect people to buy stocks.

Masayuki Kubota

Central banks are raising interest rates, and that's risky for stocks. Expectations for earnings growth are too high.

Teun Draaisma

We had sold it above $40, and thought we were very clever buying it back at $21, ... Then it went to $12. And nothing changed with the (stock's) story.

Dan Barker

Our forecast for a 2006 P/E ratio of about 19 is reasonable given the profit outlook. These are not value stocks.

Alexander Young

Everybody's worried that the stocks that have done so well have really overshot.

Kate Warne

Without the Bank of America-Fleet announcement today, we'd be looking at a much more sluggish performance for bank stocks in the near term. There are still a number of questions about the economy.

Frank Barkocy

I looked for stocks I was familiar with, and I looked at the prices in the paper just before the end of the year.

David Atkinson

But I wouldn't be in a rush to buy these stocks right now. Maybe buy a little bit. Keep your powder dry, and wait a couple of months, see what happens. I'm very worried about May. What is going to happen in the summer doldrums? Perhaps the market will correct again. You've got to be very careful here. So remember, buy stocks with earnings -- that's my opinion.

Fred Sears

Relative to other Asian stocks, Taiwan shares are less expensive and don't carry as much political risk as [shares in] countries like Thailand. So I think Taiwan stocks are quite attractive to foreign investors.

Shawn Wang

The industry itself is very strong and on the rise, but the stocks are not very much alive. The Street doesn't really like the unpredictability of the industry.

Robert Peterson

They do wireless and cellular. They make semiconductors and they own the set-top box manufacturer, General Instrument. Broadband is going to be coming into your home via either a cable box or a wireless box. I just think they have it covered her and the fact is they reported their earnings and a little margin squeeze at the time when technology stocks were crashing.

Scott Bleier

Mild weather is one of the factors, and we're going into the heating-oil season with high stocks.

Christopher Bellew

The only thing really going on in the [airline] market right now is the Northwest [earnings] story. But that only accounts for part of it. All of the airline stocks have been down.

Stephen Klein

I think there's a tug of war going on between the robust economy and its positive impact on earnings and the fact that it's likely the Fed's going to raise rates some more, ... We still a have a policy here that small aggressive investors maintain a pretty heavy waiting in stocks. We always recommend a balanced portfolio.

Kathy Jones

Right now, U.S. stocks are at multi-year highs, so I get the feeling that global money is starting to move away from Japan and into the United States.

Takashi Ushio

I think we're very close to the end of this particular correction. The bull market's not over by any means. We need several increases in interest rates before stocks top out.

Larry Rice

Oil is the big theme. As it backs off, demand for stocks will increase. The trend for the indexes remain up, we may see further gains.

Bill Strazzullo

We hate it. When you look at our results and compare them with other large cap stocks, we think we are doing a lot of things right.

John Rice

High dividend stocks are quite popular among individual investors as seen in increasing sales of dividend-focus mutual funds.

Takeshi Yamaguchi

(Large-cap) stocks provide the same relative safety and advantages that large-cap drug stocks provide. Despite the economic environment, people do need their drugs. Large-cap drug stocks are seen as a safe haven with relatively inelastic demand.

Sharon Doering

The more cyclical stocks, like entertainment, have been hit hard.

Matt Harrigan

Markets can still rise. Stocks in Europe are fairly valued. They can compensate for a lot of interest rate rises.

Guenther Gerstenberger

To grow the endowment, we established our investment parameters and then began incrementally to deploy the foundation's investment capital into stocks and bonds in February 1996. By September, most of the money was invested and by November, the foundation awarded its first grants.

Bradley Callicott

The market fell 5 percent last week so it should stabilize a bit, but tech stocks are still weak.

Herbert Lau

There has been a lot of M&A news and that makes stocks more attractive. It shows companies are still finding value and there is a lot of money to spend.

Geoff Langham

Due to deregulation and the California power crisis, energy stocks are going to double their revenues in the next two years.

Tom Frangione

Automotive stocks aren't in fashion and that doesn't help, ... I think we have such a tremendous message that in time will bring the stock up. I am very impatient about the stock price.

Juergen Schrempp

The prospect of slightly higher inflation might be making stock investors a bit nervous. I think stocks are also likely reacting to the higher oil prices today.

Jim Dunigan

You need to analyze stocks on the valuation and prospects of the company because that's what counts in the end of the day. I couldn't recommend a stock simply because of a split.

Tom Hensel

On the upside, at least the buyers are stepping back in and it isn't just all sellers. We're seeing buying in gold stocks, energy, semiconductors and other oversold names. There's also a lot of economic data coming down the pipe in the next few days and that should give us more to chew over.

Bryan Piskorowski

When you compare that to the industry multiple of 13.5, these stocks look a little overpriced but they are in good shape.

Brian Tunick

The S&P 500 is still less than 70 percent of the entire market, so in order to diversify your holdings you have to hold some mid-cap and small stocks. But my major message is that you should not expect that you're going to get a higher return on those stocks than you will on the big stocks.

Jeremy Siegel

This is not the last word in Internet stocks, but it's a heck of a good starting point. All the good ones are in here.

Gene Walden

We've had a pretty significant rally over the last few months. The fundamentals have been better, but perhaps the stocks got a little bit ahead of the fundamentals as a number of companies have met or exceeded second-quarter expectations but haven't necessarily raised the bar for future quarters.

Brian Alexander

Short of bringing back the stocks, there's not much more we could do.

Charles Carter

Investors continued to chase up some technology stocks after their recent declines.

Morris Chen

While we fully expected the stocks to rebound well before their fundamentals, we believe the scenario has now reversed to a potential overbought scenario.

Rich Repetto

Investors are trying to stay away from hotel stocks because of emerging bird-flu cases. People will still try to avoid hotel stocks unless it is confirmed there won't be any more bird-flu outbreaks.

Kenny Tang

Stocks that have minimum exposure to higher interest rates.

William Hummer

Since making recent highs in February, gold stocks have continuously come down in price. We have reached a level that is uncomfortable for the industry. Some of the higher-cost producers are starting to feel the pinch.

Victor Lazarovici

It's like being your own doctor, ... I don't know anybody who has the ability to pick stocks five years out ... How can a worker on the assembly line in Detroit or a doctor performing surgery keep track of them?

Frank Cappiello

I think the trend has changed since yesterday afternoon, when investors started focusing on individual stocks, instead of the market as a whole.

Koji Muneoka

Obviously, it will mean a wider ownership of the stock and potentially lower volatility. We've seen that with other stocks that have been in the S&P 500.

Safa Rashtchy

Oracle is putting pressure on the technology stocks, but the Dow was up for seven days in a row before yesterday. The market was more than due for some kind of a sell-off.

Roy Blumberg

Now is a terrific time to get into these stocks that have been beaten up so much in the last year or so.

Michael Winer

Despite the stock's strong performance in recent months, we are reiterating our outperform rating and are raising our price target from 660,000 won ($ 673.43) to 770,000 won.

Gurinder Kalra

I think we are becoming less linked to Dow Jones and more linked to the Nasdaq. That makes sense because what is moving us here are the technology stocks.

Gilberto Zalfa

There are worries about an oversupply of flat panels, which is weighing on stocks.

Lee Kun Hak

The rationale that people have used for being bullish is extremely predictable, ... They can't say stocks are cheap. They can't say business is great. So they have to go on about stuff like relative strength and stocks making an upside-down.

Bill Fleckenstein

These well-known name stocks have momentum. The money keeps flowing in. Those traders are unconcerned about the gold market.

Doug Myers

It's frustrating in the sense that we look dumber than we really are, ... We own a lot of unpopular but profitable stocks.

Donald Yacktman

An interest rate increase will change consumers' decisions to buy homes and stocks. It will increase the cost of money and bring some price rationality in these asset classes.

Sandeep Bagla

Basically any Japanese stocks can be bought. Strong output is having a ripple effect on other things such as wages and consumption.

Takashi Kamiya

Valuations of stocks are still reasonably attractive. People are still of the view the rate increase cycle is drawing to an end.

Douglas Wright

There's always been damn fool investors. You want to go where the value is. Buying stocks is like buying groceries.

Ralph Wanger

Stocks are very sensitive to the risk of interest rates rising further. Financial institutions are especially vulnerable.

Patrick Casselman

For anything less than five years, you shouldn't be buying common stocks. You want a return of your capital as well as a return on your capital.

Patricia Jennerjohn

People sold bonds excessively the past several days and yields became high enough to attract buyers. Declines in stocks are giving people a chance to pay more attention to the value of bonds.

Xinyi Lu

Today the mid-cap stocks really replaced some of the activities of normal trading.

Terry Cheung

We believe that some large-capitalization stocks will outperform the broad market if investors' risk aversion rises in response to increased volatility.

Thomas Mcmanus

Semiconductors have been lagging and historically tech stocks have not done well heading into the summer.

Sasha Kostadinov

For overseas investors, who bought large volumes of stocks last year, Japanese equities are no longer cheap.

Hiroshi Chano

The stock is likely to see as much as 30 per cent gain in the first trading day to follow the similar recent gain of other material stocks.

Kenny Tang

There are quite a few platforms still out of service throughout the Gulf. Everyone is waiting to see what the builds are going to be. If they show a build, you could see a sell-off in oil, and that could give stocks at least a little bit of lift.

Bill Adams

Valuations for stocks are still high.

Jim Melcher

U.S. stocks finally appear to be bottoming out, and the yen is coming back to reasonable levels for Japanese exporters. I'd say that's a pretty good signal to buy.

Minoru Tada

While it may be temporary, the major risks we see for Japanese stocks right now are the Iranian situation and currency moves. That's still going to keep a lid on the market.

Hitoshi Yamamoto

We think it's very cheap. The regional banks are selling at half of the S&P multiple; this is a very attractive time to be committing money to financial service companies, and as investors come to the view that the Fed is nearly through raising interest rates, you'll see a resurgence in the prices of bank stocks.

Marshall Front

Buying momentum for domestic-demand related stocks still exists on a recovery in consumer spending and capital investment.

Hideyuki Ookoshi

Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.

Andre Malraux

The best thing I can say with today's rally is that the breadth was improved, with more stocks participating. I think we have the potential to see a rally of up to 3 percent in the short term, but there are a lot of overlays.

Brian Bensch

Inflation is not something you can put back in the bottle very easily. Rising interest rates and inflation would affect corporate profits and make valuations look overdone and stocks look expensive.

Tim Hayes

Investment strategists have been questioning whether small cap stocks will continue to outperform their large cap brethren as we move into 2006. And like so many things with investing, who really knows. As I see it, small caps will continue to outperform until they don't.

Keith Wirtz

It's hard for investors to believe oil stocks are worth investing in when the thing that drives the stock -- the commodity price -- is going to go down next year.

Jim Wicklund

This is certainly a sector which is affected by news and we're waiting for more good news to come out before these stocks do turn around.

Brendan King

I've become more bullish on technology stocks. The technology sector is picking up and earnings will probably be better than market consensus.

Koji Nakatsuka

Particularly in the software sector, so much of what's going on with these stocks now has nothing to do with the fundamentals. It all has to do with this M&A activity that's going on and the uncertainty around it.

Brendan Barnicle

Most sports stocks are not financial superstars.

Bill Smith

You don't bet the farm but you need to be putting some money in as you find stocks that look attractive.

Alfred Kugel

H-share valuations are quite expensive and heavy profit taking will continue ahead of earnings announcements. Smart investors have already reduced their holdings in these stocks.

Antony Mak

There's no real compelling reason for stocks to be up. But you've got little new news and there's an upward bias, so we're up today after a few days of selling.

Douglas Altabef

You know, people really have not been buying into these stocks lately, ... They're extremely undervalued. Remember one thing: they own the first mile to every customer that's out there. When they get into long distance, which they will eventually late this year and early next year, they're going to be powerhouse stocks.

Bruce Roberts

We love it. We think this will be one of the banner stocks of the fourth quarter.

David Menlow

Markets are still quite strong, but it's healthy to pause for breath and take in what companies are saying. Stocks have made quite a big move. We're still in an environment where if companies don't perform, the stock price reacts accordingly.

Stephen Docherty

Oil, oil, oil, the price of oil fell back below $US60 a barrel after some bearish inventory numbers. That was the catalyst that spurred some buying in the stocks.

Tim Biggam

These Internet stocks are lunacy, ... A lot of individual investors have been lulled into a false sense of security and it's going to come crashing down on them.

Scott Black

What I think this means is that the Fed waited maybe for the stock market to go up a little and then cut rates and effectively reinforced the price action. Therefore it set a bottom on stocks, but it's definitely a very good move I think for the Fed.

Joseph Lavorgna

Mining and resource stocks will be in the spotlight this week as another round of iron-ore pricing negotiations is due - which would provide short-term volatility and price fluctuations for the market.

Neill Pickering

I've become more bullish on technology stocks. Earnings will probably be better than market consensus.

Koji Nakatsuka

I think most of the concerns for this industry have been factored into these stocks already as power prices have come down, ... But as you look longer-term...growth for these companies will be slowing.

Gordon Howald

Still, we may see rebounds in the afternoon on bargain-hunting by long-term buyers in construction, energy, and brokerage stocks that decline significantly.

Padermpob Songkroh

It continues to give a negative feeling that the story is an off-again story. It's been difficult, but the stocks have been volatile and institutions have been moving money in and out.

Joe Cangemi

The Fed's decision to increase rates by half a percentage point will have a moderate, momentary (negative) effect on stocks.

Gerardo Copca

By the time companies make announcements that things are better, stocks will already have bottomed.

Greg Kuhn

I'd give Michigan stocks a C-. U.S. stocks didn't do much better.

David Sowerby

Oil is down significantly, stocks are basically flat and bond investors are looking at overall valuations of assets and are perhaps doing a little bit of bargain shopping right now.

Don Kowalchik

The [price-to-earnings ratio] on the S&P and technology stocks in particular is enormously high.

David Dreman

It's time for the blue-chip stocks to catch up with the H shares. It's obvious that funds are switching to blue-chip stocks from the pricey H shares, which may have reached a peak.

Ben Kwong

A lot has been priced into U.S. stocks. It's a bit of shaky situation.

Andreas Gartner

You have to consider concerns about the economy and interest rates. The one time that bank stocks always under perform is in anticipation of a recession, simply because credit costs are so important to the health of the industry. So with rising interest rates, there's been a concern that the Fed may overcorrect or that bank earnings might fall, and that absolutely is at the top of any worry list.

Diane Glossman

We believe the mainframe weakness will persist into the fall and possibly the December quarter, when G7 moves into full swing. In our view, this is more than a first-quarter issue, and we think both stocks will likely remain depressed.

Chris Shilakes

Stocks will continue to rally. Earnings have been good and companies are flush with cash for takeovers.

David Stix

Overbuying of China stocks was obvious in the last two weeks. Investors are taking profits gradually, but some are still chasing laggards such as commodity stocks.

Castor Pang

The stocks have taken a hit over the last couple of days. Once [plaintiff's attorney Stanley] Rosenblatt asked the jury for $150 billion, we believed the jury was going to give him that.

Bill Pecoriello

It's pretty heinous, ... Small- and mid-cap stocks, and even micro- and nano-cap stocks, have not participated.

Jeffrey Berman

This theme is continuing and not just in the mining stocks, but in any related sectors. This is a macroeconomic trend.

Jim Mccafferty

Stocks in general have been trading near their highs but volume has been a real obstacle to move prices higher. It may still be early but it looks to me as if we will see an attempt to take Dow above 9,450.

Tom Hougaard

We think that excellent June and September quarter prospects make for good investment opportunities in communications chip stocks.

David Wong

Higher oil prices, and fears over Japanese stocks are affecting the dollar more than any other currency.

Niels Christensen

Investors are avoiding large-cap technology shares before Friday's SQ and GDP. Instead, they are picking up individual stocks that offer a special interest, such as biotech stocks.

Hiroshi Sato

This downtrend in technology stocks is looking more serious than we had expected.

Shinichi Ichikawa

The fundamentals for these kind of stocks are very promising with the healthy economic growth prospects.

Ferdi Heyneke

Some of the consumer non-durable stocks like Pfizer, Colgate and even General Electric, which is one of the best managed companies in the business, we think look attractive here.

Robert Bloom

We cannot buy domestic stocks with new money.

Takahiro Kawase

The MPC meeting minutes due next Wednesday will provide additional direction here, but anything that reinforces the need for a quick reduction is yields on cash deposits could again offer further support for stocks.

Matthew Buckland

If it comes in too weak, you get worries about the economy. If you get a blowout number, everyone will get obsessed about interest rates again, the bond market will go into a tizzy, and stocks will slide.

Donald Selkin

Stocks are returning to normal and those that were leading are resuming their lead.
