among certainly investors past paying people seeing sins
I think investors may be seeing some of the things they want to see. Certainly people paying for the sins of the past are among those things.
convinced good investors leadership question second themselves
No one is panicking and that is the good news. There's no leadership out there and there are a lot of question marks. Investors have convinced themselves of a better second half, but it's not assured.
ahead almost expect general good hesitation investors market profits pull time worst
This has been a good time for investors to take profits and there's some hesitation ahead of tomorrow's (Friday's) report. There is a general sense that if we're not at the worst, we're almost at the worst -- but you have to expect the market to pull back occasionally.
began investors pulling surprised though volume
I wasn't surprised investors began pulling back at the close. Even though the run-up was huge, there wasn't a lot of volume there.
buy confident investors seem willing
Investors seem a little more confident now and are willing to buy on the dips.
ahead bail belief buyers given good gotten higher investors market quarter stocks though trade wants
Stocks rallied pretty good and they rallied, in part, on the belief that this quarter would bail us out -- and we know that's not the case, ... But this market still wants to trade higher -- even though investors have gotten ahead of themselves, they're still buyers if given the right catalyst.

The damage is already done. Investors are willing to go in and buy on the weakness. There is enough conviction that 25 basis points (one-quarter percentage point) is already built in.

above stays wave worse
I think it could have been a lot worse (at the open). But I think it's important that the Dow stays above 9,600 or we could see another wave of selling.
built negativity next quarter today
Most of the negativity is built into these stocks. Today (Thursday) may be a proxy for how we're going to look for the next quarter -- more indecisiveness but not as much negativity.
bias calm data few looks next somewhat
This really looks like the calm before the storm. The bias is still somewhat positive, you can see that with the Dow, but there's a lot of data to get through in the next few days.
ability certainly guidance handle shows visibility
Visibility is important, even if the visibility is poor, because it shows you have a handle on the business. The ability to give guidance is certainly something of a comfort.
cannot fact ignore meeting releases
With the ECI and GDP releases this week, we cannot ignore the fact that the FOMC meeting is right around the corner,
bounce leg
We still have a non-inflationary environment. I think this is more of an oversold bounce (for the Nasdaq). We'll see what kind of leg it has.
