Robert Long Strong Quotations

I think we're pretty near the bottom. We need to see a few more days of gains on strong volume, but I think we're getting near the point when people are going to focus again on the fundamentals, which remain really strong.

There may be a little pullback over the next few days, but many companies have come in with strong earnings, and that is going to keep supporting stocks.

I would expect a strong payrolls number Friday, and for the market to have some sort of positive response to it, even if it's just very short-term.

Everything's coming in really strong on the earnings front, across a number of sectors, but the market doesn't seem to be responding to it. I think it's just a bit of 'sell the news' in terms of a lot of these earnings.
