The market is just awaiting for the earnings season to begin. October, for whatever the reason, always has a rough start. For some reason, the market has a problem with the month.

I wouldn't be surprised if the market wakes up tomorrow and buys them (stocks) back again.

Gold is very sensitive to inflation. If you're worried about inflation, you tend to see gains in gold.

Sitting on the market has been this 800-pound gorilla, King Kong of the Federal Reserve, and when you remove this gorilla ... I think stocks can work their way higher.

It seems the confluence of events, with Delphi, and the week you had last week, you start out here pretty tepid. I am not putting much stock in what the earnings are, but I think investors are waiting to hear what the companies would say about the outlook.

We've had quite a run over the last three weeks, and I think the equity market is going to have a little bit of profit-taking, especially in light of a no-news day.

I would hope that the market will try to rally here, and bounce off these key support levels. If it doesn't bounce real quick in this area, we could have some real problems.
