Peter Cardillo Quarter Quotations

EBay came out with good numbers, but the outlook for the fourth quarter and next year wasn't so good, ... We're probably looking at a lower open, with a mixed trading session, as people respond to individual earnings and keep an eye on the price of oil.

Obviously the cell business is extremely hot in Europe and it's going to continue and it's going to grow in other parts of the world and I think a good supplier of that comes from Motorola ( MOT : Research , Estimates ) and again, the stock has absorbed a lot of negative news lately and it does seem to have made a bottom and it keeps bouncing off its lows. So that tells me that, you know, going forward things will change. We might encounter another quarter of bad news out of them but I think at these levels it should be bought.

Inflation will stay low. Interest rates will turn lower. Corporate earnings will continue to grow. And I think we can see the Dow by the first quarter of 1999 above 10,000.

The focus on inflation will change when second quarter earnings begin to roll in, ... set the stage for a summer rally.

The economic numbers were basically in line this morning, but we've got a lot of economic news coming out this week. Earnings are pretty much over with, and they were pretty mixed, so investors are now looking to see that the economy won't stall in the second quarter before they're going to be willing to buy.

The economic numbers have been neutral to positive, but it's the end of the quarter and the market is not responding to the drop in oil and drop in gold.

We're at the end of the quarter so there is some window dressing. The focus is now totally on earnings, and this earnings season looks as though it will be strong if not stronger than last quarter.

Again, I think we're going to see a lot of revenue growth coming within the next quarter or so, and I believe that it's basically an infrastructure B2B for the Internet, where you can research engines, where you can create your own agents and what not, and management is doing a great job. I'm looking for this stock to really do quite nicely over the next six-to-18 months.

I still expect the third quarter to be respectable but that's a thing of the past. But what happens in the fourth quarter (is the question).

The good news is that on the consumer side of things, spending actually declined, and the real good news is the deflator was lower than the last quarter and there was a revision from the first quarter. So when you really dissect it all, it wasn't all that bad.

We won't know the full effects of the Asian crisis until at least the second quarter of the new year.

At the end of the quarter you generally see some switching, so now we're seeing some institutions buying blue chips again.
