Tim Heekin Market Quotations

We have no economic numbers Monday and my sense is that the market is going to keep consolidating for the next few sessions, before we make a bottom and then build from there

If they feel like the consumer is losing his strength and his spending power in the market, and he's going to be putting more money into savings, that's going to make the market nervous.

GM is such a bellwether, major company in the United States, and if they filed for bankruptcy, that just wouldn't be a good indication as to market conditions.

I think the market has gotten tired ... and poor attendance is also contributing to a very quiet market today. I think this is short-term, but I think the path of least resistance is down.

I think people are trying to drive the market higher. They're coming in on what have been some of the better groups, that being retail and technology still.

Financials are picking up across the board, that bodes well for the market, ... Being such a big percentage of the indices, if people are getting behind financials late in the third and fourth quarter, that will carry the market positive in 2005.

I guess a new deadline could be positive for markets, but I'm of the camp that the more the war is postponed, the more it keeps the market distracted.

Clearly, the Fed is the biggest drive in the market right now.

Citigroup was disappointing and financials are the worst performing group today, ... You pair that with weakness in technology and energy -- the two leaders for the market over the last eight weeks -- and you have sort of a ho-hum day.

All of the numbers this week are potentially market moving. I think people will be watching the numbers for hints about inflation.

The market is very resilient. We're shaking off any kind of bad news.

The market is usually ahead of a recovery, and in the past, the market was reacting to negative data. It seems to be shaking off bad news now. To me, that's good news.

The market has been trying to hit these highs for some time, but we've been nearing them with less and less enthusiasm,

The market has been down, triggered by some comments from Fed governors on inflation,

The leadership of the market is the same as it has been for six to nine months, and that's been energy and technology.
