Peter Cardillo Holding Quotations

I think the market is holding up pretty well after the recent rally, ... The economic news was mixed today, and investors are eyeing Ivan and the price of oil.

The jury has been out over the last week or so over whether they will indicate that they are going to pause and I think that's what's been holding back the markets.

Markets are basically in a holding pattern. We had some good economic numbers, but it's Friday ahead of a long Christmas weekend so people aren't going to make much a commitment.

Obviously, Alcoa really disappointed the market today. But we've also had a big run-up since the start of the year, and considering that, I think stocks are holding up pretty well.
