It's not just the weakness in U.S. stocks this time. The dollar is falling (against major currencies) at the same time, and money is flowing out of the U.S..
Norihiro Fujito
Investors will adjust to the $55 a barrel range, ... but if it continues to rise, it's going to upset stocks.
Stephen Leeb
We are inclined to believe that the rise in U.S. small- capitalization stocks has gone beyond the point warranted by valuations, and have experienced a minor mania.
Gordon Fowler
Investors need to think first, and not put money randomly into oil stocks.
Craig Callahan
This means we did add to the U.S. ending stocks. USDA's U.S. wheat ending stocks estimate of 542 million bushels is still adequate to our needs.
Shawn Mccambridge
My sense is that we're going to keep consolidating over the next few weeks after the kind of run we've had. Then you could see stocks start to move higher again.
Robert Philips
The environment is very good now. While in fact I'm less exuberant about the large stocks I think the small stocks will play catch up.
Louis Holland
I think you'll see stocks drift a little lower or stay flat in the summer. I think the guidance is going to be muted for a lot of companies, and that's going to disappoint some people considering where stocks are today.
Andrew Galligan
I think we are probably overbought here, and there's going to be a pullback, although stocks should move higher through the end of the year.
Doug Sandler
The increase in oil prices as trading started this morning took away all the incentive to buy stocks. With oil going up again and a Fed meeting tomorrow, investors are being very cautious. Demand today has dried up.
Larry Peruzzi
Apple's results are going to put a damper on stocks this morning. Investors are worried that it may set the tone for other reports at the start of the earnings season.
Giri Cherukuri
The stalwarts are tech stocks. It's almost as if they are independent of other concerns that might weigh on the overall market.
Brian Conroy
Sentiment has not weakened significantly, and there's plenty of demand out there for stocks like Teijin.
Hidenori Karaki
Everything is going down: the price of the dollar, the price of stocks, the price of bonds.
Matthew Alexy
We are finally starting to come to those stocks that haven't given up ground yet. This is the first time that these stocks that are priced for perfection have shown some imperfections.
Charles Pradilla
I'm still very optimistic about stocks, and I think that's where you have to be. But I think it needs to consolidate. And actually, yesterday in the market, the Dow was a lot stronger than the rest of the market.
Patricia Chadwick
Most of the time common stocks are subject to irrational and excessive price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble... to give way to hope, fear and greed.
Benjamin Graham
It's hard to sustain a bond market rally with stocks doing as well as they're doing.
John Santoro
Port and airport stocks have been undervalued recently. Their prices may continue to rise in the coming few days, and they should have good prospects as they're supported by China's fast economic growth.
Chen Huiqin
Today's decline in oil prices and the company news were very positive for stocks, as these type of strong results show corporate America is still in good shape. But trading is coming to a bit of a halt before the Fed. The interest-rate outlook can't be ignored.
Neil Massa
We pretty much picked ordinary stocks.
David Fitzgerald
It basically allows them to internally cross more of their Nasdaq volume. It takes the number of stocks that they can make markets in on the Nasdaq up over 6,000 from 300 or so stocks they do now.
Guy Moszkowski
We've got oil rising again and the yen strengthening, and that will trigger some selling in technology stocks as they have been the recent winners. We're going to see some investors locking in their recent gains.
Soichiro Monji
If you're looking for growth, you're not going to find it in the cyclical stocks that gave you those high returns in 2003 and 2004.
Rick Drake
All markets are suffering but we are being hit more than others because the index is resource-heavy .. about 40% of the top 40 stocks are resources.
Craig Pheiffer
As the market has risen, a lot of people are probably over-invested in stocks. You can sell some stocks and buy bonds, mutual funds or CDs that are less risky.
John W. Gardner
The declines have put stocks at a critical level that they need to recover from in the near term.
Todd Salamone
That just adds to everything that's going on Friday, so we're just stuck following oil and stocks until then.
John Canavan
One thing we're seeing in particular today is the continued rotation out of energy stocks. Sectors that have been out of favor, mainly technology and the financials, are now providing some leadership, the banks, in particular.
Kevin Kruszenski
In an industry that's having difficulty, even just a three- or six-month travel slowdown can exacerbate problems, ... But in general, there has not been much effect on earnings or profits of specific stocks or sectors. The key issues this year -- interest rates and oil -- remain the same.
Barbara Marcin
We believe the stock's sell-off is attributed to the moderation of top-line growth at MPS due to its focus on margins, and a lower than expected first quarter outlook from a competitor.
James Janesky
The easy money has been made in many of the semi stocks, including Intel, but I still think some chips stocks have 20 to 25 percent upside left. This is hopefully the pause that refreshes.
Krishna Shankar
A pause on rate increases would be another plus for stocks.
Bill Strazzullo
There are many investors who remain concerned with the outlook for interest rates and with how much the Fed could still raise the rates at the start of 2006, and that's been putting a lid on stocks even though we've been seeing good economic data.
Joseph Stocke
There were signs many institutional investors sold off their tech stocks given uncertainty about the sector's outlook in the second quarter and about upcoming earnings results.
Morris Chen
A small fund won't have to exhaust its 'Varsity' list of stocks.
Jason Kelly
Until we get more of an adjustment on the expectations of the U.S. markets and until we see more of a trend coming out of the United States, this is how it will continue to be (for Latin stocks).
David Chon
You have to continue to buy the stocks that are leading the market, and for the foreseeable future, that means technology.
Francis Gannon
When someone hears that, and everyone is nervous ... it pressures whoever is in the way. Right now, it's like 'Oh my God, this has to be bad news for Best Buy and Circuit City' and so their stocks are down.
David Ricci
A lot of the big-cap stocks aren't very exciting right now. There are small-cap opportunities in the dividend-paying world. You just have to do your homework.
Jill Evans
Dividend tax relief and low interest rates tend to buoy some of the stocks, but the sector's fundamentals continue to deteriorate.
Patrick Brogan
I hope I'm wrong. But for the prediction to be wrong, stocks have to go up 18.5 percent in 2002.
Robert Doll
Initially the catalyst was the Indonesia crisis, ... Everyone thought, 'emerging markets, let's get the hell out of there.' Initially, stocks fell quite aggressively, but then Russia ran into its own problems.
Chris Turner
Across-the-board buying is over and investors have to select stocks with good earnings prospects.
Kunihiro Hatae
Right now we have two trains leaving the station and everybody decided that they needed to be on one or both ... therefore we saw very different investing styles push very different groups of stocks up and overall we have a very, very strong day as a result.
Kate Warne
The purchase price represents a nearly 50 percent premium above the company's stock price from the beginning of this year and, more importantly, a more than threefold increase above the stock's $25 per share initial public offering value in 2002.
Mallory Factor
A buy-the-dip mentality remains very strong in the minds of the market. Technology stocks are where all the action is, where all the volatility resides, where all the big gains come into play. These are the darlings of the market.
Scott Bleier
Those consumer-oriented stocks gained quite aggressively yesterday after the January retail sales data, which was a pretty good number, so we saw a bit of profit taking today.
Warren Hammond
The strength of the GDP report, the better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, are all reinforcing the idea that the economy and corporate profits are showing strong growth, and you are seeing stocks respond.
Peter Brodie
The extraordinary financial performance of conventional homebuilders in this economic cycle leads us to believe that there is a strong possibility that their stocks could be poised for record-breaking valuations.
Lawrence Horan
It's not just a recovery. It's an aggressive accumulation that to me is indicative of an underlying primary bull market. I mean, I am surprised by the degree of enthusiasm that is evident in tech stocks.
Gerald Vincent
We believe we should be less concerned with picking the bottom of the market and begin to accumulate those stocks whose fundamentals appear to be improving.
Keith Benjamin
The question is, if you have money to invest, do you want to put it into the bond market, which has inflation issues, or keep it in stocks. Stocks will probably continue to hold up in the quarter because other asset classes are less attractive.
Michael Swanson
Gainers outnumber losers and sentiment is not bad. But investors are keeping away from large-cap technology stocks right now, as it's hard to see where the U.S. market is going.
Masafumi Nakayama
The trend will be a stronger yen through to the end of this month. Strong stocks are drawing flows of overseas money into Japanese assets.
Osamu Takashima
These commodity stocks, including the base metals, are still below their all-time highs, so I think they will play some catch-up here.
Ian Nakamoto
CVRD is investing in projects such as nickel to diversify its portfolio, as we see a trend where large miners are investing in non-ferrous commodities... as prices are high and stocks are low due to an increase in demand, pushed mostly by China.
Pedro Galdi
Emerging market stocks were hit hard today, along with their bonds. Lingering fears over higher U.S. interest rates triggered profit-taking again, one day after we saw some good rallies.
Carlos Hokama
I can't find 100 good stocks.
Jim Cramer
Stocks have been following oil prices up and down. And in the meantime, if a company comes with strong numbers, investors stick to it.
Martin Yokosawa
I question how much upside there is from here. Most of the major stocks now look very expensive in terms of discounts to asset values.
Grahame Exton
Auto stocks are up on expectation of good numbers, while IT stocks have again become attractive after recent falls.
Janish Shah
I think that when investors gain confidence, they tend to move out of some of the Dow stocks, and into technology and biotech, and the more exotic areas of the market. That's why we've been having that swing back and forth.
Bernadette Murphy
I think the stocks all reflect concerns that the estimates won't hold up because the economy will weaken. If it becomes clear the estimates do hold up, I'm confident the stocks will do well. I've got fairly conservative estimates, below consensus, and the stocks are steals based on my estimates.
Paul Schlesinger
Stocks, which have risen too fast to high levels that can't be justified, had to come down.
Hesham Abojamee
The reason companies want to go public now is that (luxury good stocks) are at record high valuations.
Claire Kent
It's the right time, even though I believe these stocks are way overvalued.
Bruce Smith
There are unique requirements on funds that do long and short, ... In our case, in shorting, there's extra work to be done in picking the stocks.
Paul Mcentire
We saw some selective buying, as funds reshuffle portfolios and pick technology-related stocks.
Jorge Gonzalez
The advance we've seen over the last month has been a reaction to fundamentals. Those fundamentals remain, and as long as we get a fairly solid holiday season, I think we'll continue to see stocks move up.
Jim Dunigan
The stocks were better performers during the Clinton administration than they were during the Bush period. The stocks actually performed well in the second half of the Carter administration. And in the whole second term of Reagan administration they were pretty awful.
Howard Rubel
Earnings have come in mixed and you have to pick your stocks carefully. The overall outlook for the markets is good.
Geoff Langham
It's a case of traders taking their bids off the board until the situation becomes clearer. Investors would rather buy stocks a bit later when there's a touch more certainty about the seriousness of the threat.
Paul Xiradis
The knee jerk reaction is to say that when interest rates go up, these stocks go down, and that still pretty much holds.
James Mcdermott
Until both the economic and corporate news start moving more consistently higher, you won't see another big move up for stocks.
Michelle Clayman
We're telling investors to use current strength in the dollar to get out of cyclical stocks.
James Cornish
This was not a year for macro-sector bets -- whoever bet on sectors, or indexes other than energy, got extremely frustrated. This was the year of individual stocks.
James Paulsen
We are positive on stocks, especially those that are benefiting from very strong U.S. consumer demand.
Gary Campbell
Koizumi's overwhelming victory was a surprise. Further gains in stocks will fuel optimism about the economy, pushing up bond yields.
Masahiro Kami
The price was expensive and the decision to raise it 23 percent came as a surprise. The sale took place when most investors had already added sufficient banking stocks to their portfolios so they don't have strong reasons for buying.
Hideaki Kurimoto
A strong economy is good for stocks and we're in a pretty strong cycle right now. We have a healthy market that is focused more on earnings rather than inflation fears.
Kevin Carey
Returns aren't going to be as tragic as some are portraying because the mining stocks are still looking fine. The resources stocks rely more on global growth so, to a degree, they're insulated from many of the woes afflicting our own economy.
Shane Oliver
The decline in oil prices is a desirable scenario for exporter stocks.
Hideyuki Ookoshi
The market has a few more stocks up in the Dow just because of that.
Jay Finkel
The concern that U.S. economic growth is slowing is having a negative impact on exporter stocks.
Lee Kun Hak
Financial stocks including banks are showing steady increases in their share price on the expectation they will continue to benefit from Japan's economic growth. There are still many people who want to buy bank stocks on dips.
Hiroshi Chano
The markets continue to mark time. Every day we get worries about inflationary pressures and interest rate pressures. Stocks have a hard time rising, but the reasons to rise are still coming through with strong earnings gains.
Aaron Hill
If there is significant damage to coffee stocks, it could impact supply. If not, it will just delay shipments.
Joe Derupo
We are selling vodka left over from last year but those stocks are getting smaller all the time.
Vera Bragina
I think (telecom exposure) is an issue that's going to be with us for a while, but I think the stocks are discounting the expectations.
Murray Leith Jr
Saying that stocks are cheap relative to an asset class that itself is really expensive -- that's a fragile comfort. To me the risk profile of the market in some ways is even higher than back in 1999. Back then people were buying because there was tremendous enthusiasm for stocks. Now they're buying them because they're turned off by the alternatives.
Doug Cliggott
Everything in this country other than stocks sells for dollars and cents. It's easier for a consumer to understand a stock price of $20.50 than one of 20-5/8.
Jeff Duncan
We saw the market take a pause for breath in February, but Brazil remains the star of the emerging markets and, as long as the international outlook remains positive, stocks should rise.
Alvaro Bandeira
Everyone is waiting for the war on the belief that once it starts, stocks are going to shoot up, but there's a danger in betting with everyone else.
Frank Gretz
There's been a lot of hype around oil prices and oil stocks. The energy sector feels a lot like technology did six years ago.
Rick Drake
Two of the sectors we think will drive the market higher are the financial stocks, in particular investment banks and brokers, and certain parts of technology.
Jim Gribbell
He has had on occasion specific investments in foreign stocks, but this is different. He doesn't sound like he's making one-off purchases.
Thomas Russo
The U.S. economy won't be able to avoid a slowdown given the damage from Hurricane Katrina on top of crude prices, ... This is an element of uncertainty in the market that's weighing on stocks.
Akio Yoshino
I was surprised to see speculation of a policy change grow stronger. Bonds tumbled as stocks rallied on the solid economy. Yields are to rise in the next several months.
Shinji Kunibe
Institutions and the smart money out there has been owning a lot of these higher P/E stocks, to participate in the good earnings, and they've been getting the good earnings. But the problem is that the stocks haven't been running up into those earnings. So they're not getting paid for that higher P/E risk.
Andrew Barrett
Research comes to the fore at the start of a financial year. Investors seek to identify those stocks offering the best long term potential.
Craig James
Every day there's some reason why people shouldn't own stocks and yet the market continues to climb that wall of worry. Going forward my guess is more of the same.
Michael Balog
There is a situation in the market where people are panic buying, creating some shortages, but these are temporary and have been resolved. At the moment there are no supply issues and we are continuing to issue stocks that are with us.
Mahesha Ranasoma
Those [stocks] are the ones where you haven't had any pre-announcements.
Chuck Carlson
Typically, when commodity price estimates decline, so do the stocks. These are dangerous times.
Jim Wicklund
I just want to tell everybody, don't expect tech stocks to go back to the old highs.
Ralph Acampora
One can paint a dire scenario at one end of the spectrum, with consumers and corporations pulling in their horns, the U.S. economy going into recession, international economies following ... recovery pushing out to 2003, earnings estimates taking another big hit, and stocks due for a hammering.
Terry Ragsdale
Dan is going to be very competitive this year. I bet we'll have 22 to 24 cars this year (in Pure Stocks). It's going to be a great year. We have five new guys coming in who will be good.
Butch Behn
People get so emotional with stocks, especially when they work for the company.
Bud Kasper
Investors are confident the dollar will remain strong against the yen for the time being on the prospect that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates. That view lured money into technology stocks that are sensitive to currency fluctuation.
Hideaki Kurimoto
It was a tale of two stocks.
Irwin Michael
One could level some accusations at the European investment community for the lack of [Internet stocks].
Nick Gibson
What you are seeing now is the buying of individual companies in the Dow for value. It is less a question of tech versus financial stocks, and more a question of looking at specific companies.
Richard Babson
I guess there were a couple days when Melissa came out when both of these stocks jumped up a little bit. But then Network Associates announced their poor quarterly results.
Brian Goodstadt
There's a large number of U.S. institutions who only buy S&P 500 stocks.
Stephen Reitman
They are just taking all the stocks higher that they need, they are buying the top 40 (basket of stocks).
Tubby Goodwin
If you believe the commodity cycle hasn't peaked, then the resources stocks look cheap.
David Wong
It's all about the storm right now. What stocks will do in the next few weeks is totally dependent on what happens with the storm.
Paul Rabbit
These stocks already reflect liquidation value.
Charles Peabody
We don't yet believe that consumer spending is going to slow dramatically even though there has been a lot of volatility in the stock market. Obviously there are a lot of investors out there who were sitting on big losses from stocks they bought from February through March. But we still see the economy as moving along strongly.
Terence Gabriel
The fact that people are selling stocks like eBay, Caterpillar, IBM and GE very quickly of late tells you that the upside [for the broader market] right now is limited.
Peter Green
We've often been asked about sex-related industry -- pornography. There are not great stocks and great corporations to invest in [within] that industry. Maybe they don't want people looking at their books, maybe they're not solid financially.
Dan Ahrens
Stocks of unsold goods grew over the last three months, as production went up faster than sales. The oil situation remains iffy. So the question is whether consumers will bounce back, or whether we are headed for an additional period of subdued growth.
Robert Dederick
They have absolutely no idea why they buy and sell stocks. They read headlines and they watch price changes.
Bert Hochfeld
The (stocks) with the highest (price-to-earnings) take that news the hardest.
Gail Dudack
Biotech is one of the best groups to trade on a seasonal basis because the stocks tend to trade up in advance of or during conferences.
Jon Markman
This market has gotten to the point were people are looking for any excuse to buy stocks.
Warren Meyers
I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.
Peter Lynch
The market showed great resistance at the level of 13,500 points and bounced back amid a technical correction after some stocks reached the low of their lows.
Roberto Dotta
The bank shares have gone up ahead of their earnings results, and the government-linked stocks are higher ahead of the budget.
Najeeb Jarhom
The Nasdaq advance/decline line actually ended the year lower than where it started, and that says that the soldiers weren't really participating, that it was a limited number of stocks driving the average up.
Roy Blumberg
I hate to say it, but war is good for stocks.
David Kotok
Buying momentum for stocks is shrinking. Overseas investors are pulling their money out of Japanese equities now as they are worried about the impact of interest rate hikes on the U.S. economy.
Hajime Yagi
The key is that people need to be saving in other ways, using investment vehicles, stocks, bonds, and not rely so heavily on their homes as a means of building wealth.
Sophie Beckmann
I'm less convinced of that ? especially when the stocks are trading at the premiums that they have been.
Michael Kahn
People are looking for some indications, what are the core growth rates in the Internet and how is that going to affect the other Internet stocks, and that is why they are so fixated on Yahoo!.
Bill Burnham
The Japanese economy is getting better and better all the time and that's why international investors have favored Japanese stocks.
Masaki Iso
If the retail sales number is a little lighter than forecast, that may be seen as bullish for stocks in that it takes the edge off the inflation issue.
Stephen Leeb
People are looking to buy stocks that got beaten down and have good growth prospects and the Internet stocks fit that bill. Last week they got creamed.
Bob Walberg
Earnings growth is strong, interest rates are low, and the environment is positive for stocks. The market is shrugging off the fourth-quarter GDP number as little more than a blip on the radar screen.
Bob Straus
Just don't switch from value stocks to growth stocks.
Richard Rosen
I wouldn't say it was a world record in achievement for Puget Sound, but it was pretty darn close to it. We waited for a white mushroom cloud, but it never happened. I'm pleased with the outcome, the state is and so are the tribes. We protected the stocks we needed to, and it was extremely cooperative.
Tony Floor
At some point, we will see the returns come back to bonds to compete with stocks. But it doesn't look like it's September or October of '97 for the moment. It looks like that's still a way's off.
Jim Bianco
The time to get into these stocks is when things are still poor .We've already seen that. More gains might be tough to come by.
Jim Corridore
We have to keep it safe. We can't just go out and put it into stocks.
Pat Bennett
There will be good and bad results as the impact of the weak dollar has been priced in in some stocks but not in others.
Adrian Darley
It's definitely pricey but people are willing to pay up for a company with well defined growth prospects, ... There are few companies out there that can command a multiple higher than other stocks because of their history of execution.
Michael Cuggino
All three major tech stocks that reported after the bell yesterday beat estimates and raised guidance, and were certainly a positive shot in the arm for tech investors.
Michael Sheldon
European companies are driving the economic integration of the region. Europe has a trade surplus and relatively high rates of household income and savings. In addition, European stocks are relatively low-priced.
Amy Domini
Stocks would really get whacked, because they have priced in that some kind of economic growth is coming. A rate cut would be a sign that growth isn't coming.
Robert Macintosh
If interest rates and oil really begin to rise, it would be a problem for stocks. At the current levels, I'm not too worried. The markets and companies can manage.
Peter Braendle
The economic figures, especially those on consumer confidence, turned out weaker than I expected and they're negative for stocks . You need to be cautious and selective with technology stocks.
Nobuyoshi Tsumori
There's no question that drug stocks are dirt-cheap but are they going to be dirt-cheap for the next five years?
Matt Kelmon
The market today was responding to the outlook with the increasing possibility we will see an interest-rate cut. And the day's recovery is reflecting the rebound in stocks.
David Rinehimer
Internet-heavy funds took some of the biggest hits yesterday, but most people watching the tech area have long thought that there's probably been some froth among those stocks.
Christine Benz
Bonds are reacting to the drop in stocks. The machinery orders report is another plus.
Norihisa Takao
The IPC is just matching the overall price strength it had when it hit its (May 10) record high (of 6,192.86 points). Many prices are still below the lifetime highs we had on May 10. Many stocks still have great upward potential.
Gerardo Copca
A fall in US stocks was the impulse for the retreat.
Hideyuki Suzuki
There could be a continued lifting in bank stocks and that's a flight to quality. I think you will continue to see people going to the higher-quality, dividend-paying stocks, where they can get the yield that satisfies them.
Terry Milne
The surprise fall in crude stocks has helped the rally and the energy sector has keyed off that.
Fergal Smith
This is really a stock picker's market and not an index picker's market. I'm not buying stocks on a group's performance ever.
Marc Gabelli
U.S. stocks are cheap and will make up the gap in performance with other markets around the world.
Larry Smith
Crude stocks were broadly in-line, but distillate and gasoline were better than expected, but was not that a surprise given the incredibly mild weather recently in the States.
Bruce Evers
They actually did not do much trading because they researched well and picked good stocks. When they were asked at the (awards) banquet what their technique was, they said 'buy and hold.'
Rae Wellnitz
What we look for is consistent growers where the earnings haven't disappointed, ... We have a few of those in mind, some of the traditional growth stocks. General Electric is a good example.
Robert Bloom
Restaurant stocks were badly hit last week and they were entitled to bounce back. But frankly, I would not be in that space because it is most vulnerable to a cutback by lower-income consumers due to higher oil prices.
Michael Metz
Its recovery has breathed life into all the Internet stocks.
Hiroshi Sato
We had all these negative pre-announcements and the stocks aren't going down, and the sector is going up. The market is calling a bottom.
Dan Scovel
If someone were of the belief that large-cap stocks were not going to do well in the coming year, they have several alternatives. For one, there are small-cap index funds.
Stephen Ward
I'm on the bullish side of technology stocks. They have been neglected.
Koichiro Suzuki
These stocks are mostly bought by retail investors. When these stocks approach high double digits, they become less attractive to retail investors.
Jonathan Cohen
Some of these stocks may not be in glamorous businesses, but right now you've got to have them.
Andy Lynch
There are cases of stocks being bought after beating market forecasts, but most companies that don't meet these inflated expectations are being sold.
Takashi Ushio
It could be an extended consolidation in the 'new economy' stocks that could take us through the end of the year.
Peter Canelo
The big raw material-type stocks tend to get sold off because the demand picture is less certain.
Jamie Spiteri
The merger activity in the market is positive for stocks. Companies have a lot of cash on their balance sheets.
Thomas Muehlberger
We are a legal partnership agreement, as any other business. We own all of these stocks jointly, and we each own a percentage of stocks according to the amount of money we invested.
Marjorie Severson
This could finally lead to a sell-off in U.S. equities. And then European stocks would mirror falls on Wall Street.
Gary Dugan
Banks and property stocks still have room for upside following strong interest in these stocks Friday. Easing interest rate worries and mortgage cuts offered by banks should help support sentiment for the sector.
Jackson Wong
It's a pretty good fund, but don't get too excited about its recent record because it was dependent on energy stocks, and that performance may not continue forever. You don't necessarily need a utilities fund in your portfolio, but people buy them for yield and to add diversification if they already have growth funds.
David Kathman
The Nasdaq just went up too far, too fast. When anything goes up 100 percent in a year, it is too much; it has to pull back. This is a normal correction, and it's a spectacular time to buy these stocks.
Jim Glickenhaus
A lot of those commodity stocks are pretty reasonably priced and we would continue to see gains in that sector, though they would be moderate.
Peter Wright
What's going to happen is that unless the advance broadens out to include more stocks, the advance may peter out by early April, maybe a little above 10,000, ... I think we might see some kind of pullback in the spring that might particularly effect these very extended large-cap, blue-chip stocks that are driving the Dow and the S&P.
