Ned Riley Prepared Quotations

There are worries about mechanical failures, lost ballots, all kinds of things. But I think the market is prepared for a delay in the results. I don't think it will be as much of a surprise as it was in 2000.

I think it's basically a case of no interest on either the buy or the sell side. People have already emotionally prepared for the long weekend, and they don't want to carry much ahead of it.

Be prepared for a continuation of negative commentary by companies as they warn about the second quarter.

Clearly people are anxious. Psychologically, the market is prepared to rally, but it needs clear evidence of a positive trend to do so, particularly on the first day of the (fourth) quarter.
