James Park Market Quotations

I think the weather is going to be a big concern, ... The markets are definitely continuing their rally, but volume is extremely light. Liquidity is more of an issue.

Today goes to show that the market needed a catalyst to get it going. Volume on the sell-side has been high. Everything is normal and not rapid, which is a good sign, but the numbers speak for themselves. When you combine everything we dealt with today it makes sense we're at these levels.

The divergence in commodities and the market speaks for itself. When you're looking at oil and natural gas, these prices are still high. Maybe the reality is starting to set in.

I hope New Year's in Times Square is louder than the market is today. Although we're starting to see the market hit different levels, we haven't had the volume to keep up. A lot of positions have already been closed out.

The market was under pressure for most of President Bush's speech. Once that was over, tech led a rebound on gains for Intel and a turnaround in shares of Oracle.

The markets should have held on to gains after the jobs report, ... What we're seeing is definitely a reaction to the terror threat level being raised.

The market reacted to lower oil prices. We're going to be more based on interest rates and commodity prices for a while. There was less volatility, and trading was more uniform today.

The market is finally reacting to commodity prices. The weakness on the long end of the curve is contributing to the weakness too. We've been holding strong for this week, but everything is in a negative light today. There's a little more volatility because it's options expiration.
