We're just in a holding pattern. I don't see any catalyst on the scene at this point to get stocks going.

This little bounce, I don't think it's going to hold. Until you get some settlement in Iraq, there's no change in the outlook. With all the big pools of money sitting on the sidelines, I don't see a sustainable rally.
