Kevin Bannon Looking Quotations

I think the dollar is due to weaken a little bit. We don't want anything precipitous. The real big winners, I think, of the weakness of the dollar may be some foreign stocks. I think Americans might want to start looking abroad a little bit more.

When the sentiment changes, we could probably get a pretty good rally, because that is what we're talking about, sentiment. The fundamentals are looking fine.

Some of the 'new economy' stocks are looking a lot more interesting these days. I think some of the biotech stocks might be worth a look. That's a big, big area, with all the developments there. There are a lot of new products coming out.

The common them there is both of them have a lot of exposure to natural gas, which will be a big play in energy. They've done pretty well. But I think if you're a patient investor and are looking out a couple of months, you'll do well in them.

In earnings season especially, people will tend to ask first and analyze later. So I think what investors should be doing is looking at the earnings reports beyond the headline numbers. A stock may be off sharply for a temporary reason, a shortage of a component that is a terrific buying opportunity. A stock may rocket up again for a non-recurring factor that is a chance to sell. Investors should just take advantage of the opportunity to sit back and capitalize.
