There are a couple of tech conferences this week and some economic reports due, but other than that, the problem is there’s just no real catalyst right now.

ISM is a big part of what’s going on, as is the weaker construction. Sun’s shake-up is certainly hurting techs. But what we’re especially seeing is a lack of belief on the part of investors...

There weren’t really any trading floor rumors, nothing in terms of news. What you saw late afternoon that turned it around was a lot of short covering. So much selling had been done all day...

People are waiting for the next catalyst. Earnings are done, the Fed is in a neutral stance. There’s nothing big coming up in the next month, so the market will continue to trade on rumors...

We’ve had two very strong days in a row. But I don’t think it will be sustainable at quite these levels going forward.

We need to get corporate earnings to turn around before investors regain confidence.

People are really going to be watching the pre-numbers for this next quarter. We need to get some sort of reversal if we’re going to be able to stabilize.

The market is event driven and we’re looking for some events in times of turnaround. We need corporations to start spending money again and then for that to follow through to the consumer.

In terms of tech, historically, chips have led the markets, so people are thinking if they can see a turnaround, maybe other techs can, too.

Next week is relatively light, but the following week has a lot of names reporting and nobody wants to buy in front of the numbers. It’s going to be less about what the individual companies...

Generally, investors are looking for entrance points or exit points, and there’s a lot of negative pricing out there.
