concerned corporate evidence following happening improved market meaningful moves needs sharp since
Also, this market still needs the underpinning of improved corporate earnings. We've not got the evidence that that's happening in a meaningful way. I like the way it has stabilized following the sharp moves since Sept. 21, but I am concerned that not enough fundamentals are in place.

Apache has outperformed the market. It's up 9.8 percent so far this year, ... Apache is a driller that also benefits from increased business overseas. That means that the lower dollar is a benefit to them. They've got a big find in Egypt. It's an independent oil and gas company that I think has lots of room to run. I wouldn't be afraid to buy it here. It's been a market leader even over the last 12 months.

They drill in seven major countries. They're natural gas rich. They have held in this market and I think we can look for big earnings coming up over the next year or two.
