Irwin Michael Quiet Quotations

It's extremely volatile today. There's no rhyme or reason to it. On balance, a quiet day, the metals seemed to be a little firmer.

The market was thin and it was nervous. On balance, it was extremely quiet with not a lot of activity. It's disjointed, it's sporadic and if you take Nortel out, it would have been a completely different story.

The market is volatile, people are edgy; it's also very, quiet in spite of the volumes. I guess everyone's waiting for a catalyst, something to drive the market at this point.
