Ned Riley Clearly Quotations

I think you're going to continue to see this until we get through this whole period where there are these expectations that are clearly different than what reality is going to produce next year. Microsoft is only another example.

I think some buyers have actually been attracted to the fact that the market has been down so big (this week) even though there may be extensive damage as a result of Rita. Clearly people are concluding things will continue to go on and that the economy is resilient enough to take another blow,

With the exception of the Dow, it (was) eerily quiet, waiting for Cisco's results. The Dow is clearly the strongest (today) and it's because there's still a lot of money flowing out of technology.

The bottom line is clearly the Fed has dashed the hopes of a hiatus after this January increase.

You're going to get a lot more volatility on a day like today, but some of this activity, in combination with the Microsoft announcement, has clearly accelerated the volume on the day.

This divergence that's developed over the last 12 months, has clearly been the widest I've ever seen in all the years I've been in the business.

A lot of people should not pay attention to the ups and downs daily because clearly they cannot discern the next week or two weeks in terms of trends in the markets. Where do you want to put your money long term, and I stress long term. We always advocate a very strong diversification.

It's a conviction on the part of some that a lot of the stocks have reached such a downside level that they are discounting the worst of all scenarios. The enthusiasm is clearly restrained because the selling and anxiety continues so we've got a little short covering and selective buying.

EBay was given no mercy after hours. Followers were very dismayed by the guidance and that clearly was no help for the rest of technology.

The big news is clearly the payroll report.

This is clearly a holiday-impacted trading day, as volume indicates. I do think the market is acting extremely well. The Christmas rally that people eagerly awaited is here, but it's taking on something of a more subtle tone.

Clearly the retail numbers in general were just a shade above the consensus estimate. Ex-auto sales ... were right in line.

Clearly people are anxious. Psychologically, the market is prepared to rally, but it needs clear evidence of a positive trend to do so, particularly on the first day of the (fourth) quarter.

Clearly it is not much of a surprise. There was a very strong feeling he would try to establish himself as an inflation hawk.

I do think we're searching for a bottom on the Nasdaq and the action looks good so far. I see a lot of stocks doing well and people are going bottom fishing. Interest rates matter and clearly the Federal Reserve needs to focus on the Nasdaq.

I do think that there are a group of investors that have changed their opinion about interest rates and that is extremely positive for the market. We clearly do better in a falling interest rate environment.

I clearly think this is just another manifestation of a recovery that continues to be underestimated by the Wall Street community. Not only Cisco, but the whole tech sector has blown away estimates. I would be truly surprised if the market doesn't have strong futures and a positive start Thursday.

The fundamentals are clearly what investors continue to fall back on for their leadership and that leadership seems to be resting with the 'old economy' and the Dow.
