Clearly, the markets are still looking for direction. I think the next bit of good news will be from the Fed, and if there is any hint of lower interest rates that should be really bullish.

Overall, the market is looking for some direction ahead of Cisco, which is going to affect the market greatly tomorrow. Investors are being cautious ... It's a wait and watch approach.
I think the view certainly had been that we were possibly looking at a Conservative majority, so ... we might see some modest profit-taking on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
With the mood of the market, people are going to be looking for stocks that haven't yet taken part in recovery and I think Nortel would be an obvious candidate because it's still fairly close to its lows.
