I don’t think it’s the end of the bull market of the 90s, but it looks like we’re in for some stormy times in New York. The market tends to go to the extremes. A...

DuPont is the first of the Dow components to warn that things are not that enticing and, indeed, energy prices do mean something.

I read the data as indicative of an economy that is not falling into an abyss, but I also thought optimism that the economy is going to show signs of recovery in the third quarter...

The problem is (Cisco) was the big focus of attention. It’s not good when you get positive news and there’s (little) response. I don’t think it bodes terribly well for the tech group.

You have to be completely deaf, dumb and blind to think that anything with ‘.com’ on it is your ticket to fame and fortune.

Don’t confuse weakness in the market as indicative of proof that the economy is coming apart at the seams. We’re not in a freefall, economically speaking, and the technology sector has problems — we all...

I think it’s just people doing some positioning ahead of the end of the quarter and taking advantage of the pullback.

Contrary to logic, people were hoping the Fed would change their bias to a neutral stance. Part of the exuberance earlier was an increased appreciation of the likelihood that we would have a president-elect before...

If they (the Fed) had any plan whatsoever, they wouldn’t be trying to micro manage the economy and target the stock market like they have been.

I don’t think that an increase trend in inflation is going to be very positively viewed by the market, and so many believe not only that the inflationary outlook is good, there are many out...

Everybody knows the Fed is going to lower rates. You’ll start hearing people talk about more than a 50-basis-point (a half-percentage-point) rate cut — that wouldn’t shock me.

A modest pullback in warranted.

A lot of air has come out of the Internet stocks, but we have to put it into perspective, some of these stocks are up 1,500 percent or so in the matter of a couple...

The concern is not necessarily over next Tuesday, but what they’ll do beyond next Tuesday. If the market rallies pretty sharply, Mr. Greenspan may have in his pocket the ability to move rates before the...

The market is having a little trouble making up its mind. We’ll probably waffle around a little but the tone of the market should improve as the earnings continue to come in.

I think we are making a change back to a more historically normal environment and I think value will outperform growth.

I think a lot of people had anticipated May sales would be weak, which is a further sign that the economy is slowing. In general, the outlook for what the Fed is going to do...

There are a lot of conferences scheduled and there we’ll get some (indicators) within the technology group.

I don’t think we’re in for Armageddon, but there’s not going to be any visibility on earnings. So we’ve got months of trading fun and investors can go to the beach.

Everyone expected the unemployment rate to slip to 4 percent. It appears the Fed is a lot more afraid of the market than the market is afraid of the Fed.

We’re getting closer to the earnings period, and the bulls are hoping that the actual quarterly results will be in line or better than expected and alleviate the fears that there’s another warning coming in...

It seemed to me that Wall Street analysts fired all their cannons this morning in defense of technology and look at the result. Some of these stocks will get bailed out if they significantly beat...

We got a double dose of good news. The Yahoo! revenues and earnings were better than expected, helping to pump some life into the dreary internet group and we continue to get a trickling of...

People that are overexposed in tech should rethink the thesis that many seem to hold that since stocks are down (significantly), they are going to shoot to the sky. Last year was an anomaly.

I expect we will make an important bottom and the ultimate bottom this month.

I would tell people who are overweight in technology to use any bounces to lighten up in those areas, raise some cash and shift portfolios into more defensive positions.

I think we’re in a full-blown mania, especially in the technology sector.

I think there was a lot of optimism built into the market that a soft landing is coming and the Fed will be easing. The decline in the unemployment rate cast doubt on that scenario...

It’s a bit much to expect we’re going to rock and roll to new highs. But I don’t see an extraordinary amount of downside, so investors shouldn’t worry too much about the ups and downs.

The only thing he’s likely to say any different would be during the question- and-answer phase — and that probably won’t amount to a whole heck of a lot.

This is all Greenspan. He’s made it very clear that the Fed will go to neutral bias.

As a sector, technology will provide earnings growth irrespective of the economy slowing to a point that would impact other companies that are sensitive to the economy one way or the other.

There are analysts out there talking up their favorite tech stocks. On the other hand, there are still concerns that large cap tech stocks may be doing some pre-announcements, so there are a lot of...

I think you’ll see healthier and broader advances in the market. Now is the time for optimism.

The overwhelming key will be, as companies report, it won’t be as much about what they report but what they have to say about the fourth quarter and 2001.

I think (investors) are going to be looking at how the market has performed and what the sector rankings are. I think that some of the recent gains that have come to a bit of...

Investors are less concerned about technology valuations and more concerned with finding places to put money that won’t have earnings disappointments.

We got a little bit of a pop from the Supreme Court ruling. I think some of the strength we’ve seen was discounting a Bush presidency. Obviously the uncertainty was not what was hurting the...

There was a lot of disappointment about revenue. It’s especially true for technology stocks – if you don’t have revenue growth, people start to question (value), and 10 percent doesn’t cut it.

It’s a pattern that’s repeated virtually every day. At least today there was a reason to open higher. This is not a good sign that every analyst was out pumping up their favorite tech stocks...

The on-again, off-again love affair with cyclical stocks is indicative of a lack of clarity.

There is not enough earnings and/or revenue growth to justify valuations in a lot of the technology stocks and there is a great amount of fear that analysts will be slashing away at their earnings...

People are still in love with technology. There are enough signs now that the market is oversold and we could get a bounce but it will be limited. It’s really a traders market except for...

It’s light, and people are looking for anything to do. I think you’ll continue to see money move into the tech group because that’s where all the performance has been.

I think that’s evidence that a good deal of any weak earnings is priced into the market because the expectations have been lowered by analysts and further lowered by realistic expectations of the Street.

I think it was likely to falter because of the amount of people who bought in anticipation of the approval.

I think it will be to a greater extent a larger problem than most people anticipate. Obviously, it’s going to have a major impact on certain industries.

I think small investors should probably wait until valuations are more reasonable in the technology stocks.

We no longer and we haven’t had a declining rate of inflation. Why anybody would think the Fed would be considering easing now is hard to believe.

The market is consolidating its recent gains.
