Barry Hyman Trend Quotations

Global markets are the best investment at this point. The growth story developing globally is strong, the companies have better valuations, and the trend is doing well.

Trying to pick a trend in this market is impossible. Friday's action was anemic, and today there's anticipation of a stronger earnings season. Other than short-term traders, it's hard to negotiate a market that is so narrow in range. We're at least stable for now, but there hasn't been a trend for over a month.

The trend with the earnings has been that if you beat the estimates strongly, you get rewarded, but if you miss, you get hammered.

Don't buy your favorite stock until you see the earnings statement. It's better to have the trend with you than guess at a bottom.
