Compelling Quotes
I'd use the market dips as an opportunity to get into quality companies. There are a lot of good stocks, some in the technology arena, some elsewhere that are down 20 to 40 percent from their 52-week high as established just a few months ago. On days when stocks are trading off, I'd use that as a very compelling rationale for a fishing expedition,
-
Building Quotes
I don't think it's going to be a clear shot to double-digit stock fund returns for the rest of the year because financial services stocks still must show up for the party. The Federal Reserve remains the elephant in the room, and there is a building consensus that it will raise rates another quarter-point in May.
-
Asset Quotes
For me to get worried about the stock market, you have to show me signs that corporate bonds are getting weak and all this debt coming due isn't going to be rolled over. If you can't roll the debt over, you have to start valuing stocks on an asset basis. If you can roll it over, you have to start valuing it on an operating earnings basis. There's a huge difference in price between those two.
-
Attractive Quotes
We think Gap is a strong growth company whose valuations have become attractive in the last, really the last three months or so. I think the surprise of the year right now is that the economy is not so strong, that inflation will heat up and that these growth stocks that have carried the market for the last three years are going to reassert themselves.
-
Areas Quotes
Gold is at a high and the dollar weakened again. As a result, you would think stocks would be a lot lower today, with people putting money into those areas and taking money out of stocks, but they're not that bad. We're kind of just drifting. The Dow has its own company-specific problems, but the Nasdaq is hanging in there.
-
Airline Quotes
Historically there has not been a great rate of return on airline stocks for investors, which is why they have always traded at a severe discount to the markets. And there is no guarantee that the government is going to approve on all these mergers, which lends an air of caution to investing in the sector.
-
Achievement Quotes
I wouldn't say it was a world record in achievement for Puget Sound, but it was pretty darn close to it. We waited for a white mushroom cloud, but it never happened. I'm pleased with the outcome, the state is and so are the tribes. We protected the stocks we needed to, and it was extremely cooperative.
-
Buying Quotes
I think it's a great time to find buying opportunities in names that you can revisit, ... It's a lot easier to buy stocks as they're coming towards you rather than running away from you. It's a good time to sharpen your pencil and go after some of these names that have kind of run away on valuation.
-
Ball Quotes
I think the market is anticipating today that the Fed is getting closer to the end of the tightening rather than early in the ball game, and that is one of the principal reasons why financial stocks have rallied not just yesterday ... but as much as 25 percent in just the last two months.
-
Aggressive Quotes
I think the light volume on the market tells me that the market is in a consolidation phase and that we're headed for a nice summer rally. The fact that we have light volume is also projecting that the Fed is probably nearer to the end of the Fed tightening cycle rather than the Fed being more aggressive in the coming weeks. I think the technology stocks are going to come back strongly. And I think financial stocks are going to do well.
-
Close Quotes
I think you are near (capitulation) at the moment and you are getting close to the bottom. Technology stocks are driven on the expectation and we're in a period now where expectations are being lowered. What you'll have happen is stocks will react to the fact that expectations are too low.
-
Coming Quotes
I think the focus in the U.S. is on economic data coming out -- things like U.S. import prices. You find a weak dollar will translate into higher import prices. In corporate news, Cisco's numbers could have a positive impact, it was helping some of the European tech stocks early ... but European bourses have pulled back a bit.
-
Barrel Quotes
I think the bullish case is emboldened by the fact that, despite a lot of reasons, investors just haven't been willing to sell stocks en masse yet, ... Had someone told you 18 months ago that oil would reach $70 a barrel and gas would be $3.00 plus for a gallon, and the Dow Transports would only be 200 points off their all-time highs, you would have never believed it.
-
Add Quotes
I think the earnings will be good but not great, and the market will react accordingly. Some people argue that stocks may have already priced in that the numbers will be fine, but I think you're going to continue to see stocks rising. The S&P 500 potentially has room to add another 6 to 7 percent in the near term.
-
Certain Quotes
I think that the market - once we get through this interest rate fear and we're more certain about the direction of interest rates - will go back to focusing on earnings. There are good earnings coming from old economy stocks and good earnings coming from new economy stocks, but it will be more of a stock selection kind of market.
-
Again Quotes
I think we could see a rally begin again in the fall as investors start to look forward to the next year's earnings which are, right now, very unclear and I think that's one of the reasons why we go through these quiet summer periods. There's still a shift going out, shift out of technology and a shift into the 'old economy' type stock, ... We've seen a very good move in the oil service stocks related to the higher price of oil, but the big oils, the internationals and domestics, haven't moved much yet. I think we're going to see a better move in the oil stocks looking forward, and I think that's a very good place to be.
