Investor confidence is coming back. I don't see a horrible drop on the horizon or things getting worse. I don't know if it's because of the new administration or just the mindset of investors. I don't think Wall Street wants a Bear market, so maybe they are doing their best to stop that from happening.IP: Logged |

The fact that Wall Street is looking kindly on the AOL Time Warner job cuts may start a bad trend where CEOs think they may need to do the same thing to boost their stock price. It could get uglier before it gets better.IP: Logged |

Microsoft is up 40% since the beginning of the year. It doesn't quite offset the 60% drop last year but things are getting back to normal - especially if the antitrust case is thrown out.IP: Logged |

Polled a few of my traders, those who are best at guessing market shifts. The majority are guessing a 100+ point drop tomorrow. Cattle are restless, mooing nervously, and the Cisco kid just fell off his horse for the first time that we can remember! I may short, may not, but in any case watch your butts. Let's see if it breaks below 2500 again, yee haw!

Were they right? I noticed that Henry Blodget - self-proclaimed superstar Wall Street Analyst - is now covering Microsoft and immediately downgraded the stock. This is an asshole that doesn't know anything about this sector. What is Merrill Lynch trying to do? It's all for show. You'd better wise up, Blodget, Microsoft is strong and dominant and you can't just call us an internet company!IP: Logged |

This market is impossible to figure out. "The Street" reacted after Alan Greenspan's recession testimony by driving the market lower because he didn't say what they wanted to hear. Well, then they (the street) should write out exactly what everyone is supposed to say, that way everyone is happy and the market goes up. The arrogance of Wall Street is mind boggling.IP: Logged |

The effects of Greenspan (beyond those concerning him raising/lowering interest rates, etc.) have way too much effect on the market lately.IP: Logged |

Look at Scandanavian stocks for decent growth. If that's too scary, then stick your money in T-Bills for a couple years. Things are not too good right now and won't be anytime soon.IP: Logged |

Stay in the market. Keep the economy strong. Don't puss out and pull out your money. This country under George W. is about to rebound.IP: Logged |

I agree to stay in the market. I don't agree with that last sentence. The government will hide the fact that things are bad. Much like charging a lot on credit card and being in denial about growing debt that someday will have to be paid. It will be glossy and nice come summertime, but problems in the market fundamentals are growing daily.IP: Logged |

Have no idea what the market will do this week. My days of trying to predict based on analysis reports and news reports are temporarily over. IP: Logged |

Yeah, baby. Just wait till the justice department throws out the Microsoft case - then you'll see an explosion in the Tech sector.IP: Logged |
