It just feels lousy. There's a lot of reasons not to do anything.
It's also September, a typically bad time of year for the markets, ... and I think after two weeks up, people are saying, 'What are we doing here?' and stepping back.
I think that consumer confidence number really shocked a lot of people. Because if consumers aren't going to hold this economy up -- the bad news just keeps on coming.
I think it's going to be pretty dead until everyone finds out what the Fed is going to do. It looks to me like the market is setting itself up for a little bit of profit-taking because people are concerned.
I think it's going to set us up for a little Santa Claus rally in a few weeks. I think the buying on the dips mentality is going to hold.
We'll probably drift through February, a typically tough time for the market. We had four months up and one month down, so we're not out of the woods yet.
I think we'll see an end-of-month advance next week.
I think we have gotten ourselves into a classic year-end speculative mentality. I really think the market has gotten ahead of itself. People really started buying on hope. I don't rule out some year-end euphoria, but I don't think the market has a lot more upside to it.
The market has been holding up, despite how bad the news is.
(Jobs) have been one of the bright sports recently. But it's hard for me to envision the market getting any kind of legs.
