Right now, we’re just digesting. The market is waiting for companies to start saying that future quarters are going to look better.

Now we want to hear companies say they have light at the end of the tunnel.

Given what’s happened in Africa recently, there’s obviously some concern of expanding terrorism around the world. This just adds to that uncertainty. But I think ultimately, the markets will focus on primary economic news.

I don’t think we’re in a correction but I think we’re in a very necessary leveling off period. A correction is probably over 10 percent down from the current levels and I don’t think there’s...

If in fact the OPEC countries can get together and cut supply, that would be great. I think what tends to happen is when we hear these kinds of announcements, oil stocks do extremely well...

We saw how fast those stocks could fall.

I think technology is the driver for the productivity gains, for the earnings growth. If technology stocks don’t do well in this market, you don’t have a market moving forward, and I think they are...

In the short term, I think there are some good signs that the Fed will raise interest rates.
