Kate Warne Today Quotations

What we're seeing today is a combination of lower oil prices and concern about the strength of the economy in the second quarter.

Obviously the market was very nervous about what the Fed is going to do tomorrow.... But I think by the end of today people began to get optimistic that things are not quite as bad as they seemed to be last week and prices are actually pretty good right now.

Basically, today is all Nortel. Other things would have come out flat if weren't for Nortel,

I expected today was going to be pretty choppy, ... We were again seeing a real conflict within the tech sector between people who believe values are low enough to buy and people still concerned about (possible) announcements of slowing growth, that the economy was coming in for a hard landing and nothing but bad news would be coming out.

Today is a rebound from the nervousness of last week and sentiment is shifting on the strength of the economy,

What you saw today was the beginning of investors looking at other segments to say 'where are some values?' And that's why we saw some increases in some oil stocks, some metal stocks, some other areas that haven't done so well.

I think what we saw was perhaps a bit more excitement at the end of the year than was warranted. Today we're seeing much more of a negative sentiment than is warranted.

We continue to have uncertainty because what he focused on didn't really help the market draw inferences about what next week's move is going to be. We thought today might give us a hint, instead he focused on tax cuts and other things.

Today was -- and I expect tomorrow to be -- quiet. I think many people have already begun the Easter holiday and it would take a big surprise in something tomorrow for the market to move very strongly one way or the other.

Today the optimistic spirits prevailed and confidence just built as stocks held their higher levels, ... Everybody's now thinking maybe we've seen the bottom.

Whereas earlier in the week things looked definitely abnormal, today looked pretty much like we were back to normal.

What we saw today was people deciding that the non-technology sector really held some good values,

People began to say 'I don't know if things will go any lower so maybe today is a good day to step in.' But I do think it's nibbling, nobody is taking large bites yet,

It's a good day led by Nortel; surprise, surprise. I had expected that (Canada) would be down today because of the inflation report.

The sentiment is nervous and I think today was very negative. People were getting both more nervous and less enthusiastic about where things were going.

I'm surprised that technology has continued to be on a tear so strongly today because it's the rapidly growing stocks that will in fact be hurt if interest rates are increased.

Clearly, the people who are buying growth stocks are saying the good news from a series of interest rates in the U.S. and Canada will mean inflation remains under control. The overall sentiment today was basically optimistic.

The markets today were not good at all, the markets are terrible,
