R. Inge Market Quotations

There has been good competition for mares at all levels of the market today.

But the market is fragile and confidence is fragile.

You would think the overall market should be stronger, but the reason it isn't is because the heavier weight groups (financial services) are weighing down the market.

It was really a flat, flat market and by and large the dominant theme was the constrained trading because of the holiday.

It looks like the technology stocks are recovering, so that's helping the market tone.

The big fear, and the cloud that is overhanging the market is inflation. Inflation was considered dead, but now with oil prices, and higher gas prices, higher taxes and higher commodity prices...all of this with higher activity, eventually it's got to show up.
