Don Cassidy Market Quotations

Five or six months of good markets give people increasing comfort and courage.

This bull market is now entering its fourth year, and it is getting tired. The old leaders of this market -- energy and housing -- seem to be running out of gas.

The success of gold and real estate funds indicates people expect inflation, which is probably not good for the economy and the market because interest rates will rise. And the fact that three-quarters of recent new money has been flowing into world funds, rather than domestic funds, is not a vote of confidence for the U.S. stock market.

If the market is going to go up next year, it's going to take some rotation of leadership. You can't have the same thing lead forever, people get tired of doing it and whatever it is, it gets overpriced. We see a rotation into tech names, just because it's been a laggard. The other things we see developing is that large will probably outrun small, and we think growth will begin to beat value.
