Charles Blood Market Quotations

We are now on are way back to new highs, ... The key thing to realize is we're past the worst. The market is not going to go up in a straight line, but the worst period is over.

The particular bullish case for the blue chips here is that they've really had a correction over the last month or so, ... I look for the blue chips to catch up with the rest of the market and make new highs later this month.

But the market is not cheap, ... So if you're playing, what should you be playing? GE, I think, is a core holding in anybody's portfolio.

We ultimately expect the overall market to be down...and end up with a correction that totals 10 to 15 percent from the peak.

The trees can go pretty high instead of going to the sky, ... We could easily do another six months of bull market if conditions don't become too excessive and the Fed doesn't become too tight. The issue is how rapid they tighten. If they start doing a quarter-point every six weeks, that's fast. If it's a quarter-point and then nothing for six months that's fine. We can live with that.

It seems the stock market is more tuned to the bond market now than it has been in the past several months. As soon as we got oriented towards the bond market, all this economic data increased in significance.
