assets expected faster job market tells
I hadn't expected BP Amoco to be really in the market for acquisitions this quickly, ... What it tells me is that they have done a faster job of consolidation of Amoco's assets and they feel very comfortable going forward.
canada expected good inflation led today
It's a good day led by Nortel; surprise, surprise. I had expected that (Canada) would be down today because of the inflation report.
everybody expecting greenspan increase indication market nervous next talks tomorrow
I think the market is a little nervous because Greenspan talks tomorrow and everybody is expecting him to give an indication of how much of an increase we'll see next week.
beginning consumer consumers economy everybody expected fact people slow sounds sustain tenth whether worried worry
It sounds like it's pretty much what we'd expected at this point. But everybody is still worried about how long the consumer can sustain the economy. So the fact they are only up a tenth of a percent, people are beginning to worry whether the consumers are really going to slow down, and the economy with it.
broader clear concern expect financial focus happening interest mixed rather services surprising turn
I think it may just be broader concern rather than a focus on what's happening to interest rates. Many of these sectors haven't done well and it's not clear what will turn them around, ... It's a little surprising the financial services are down. Although, they would be mixed on (Greenspan's) message, I would expect them to be a little more a positive.
basic canadian change environment expect good overall record records strong view year
I would not read too much into the record at this point, ... The Canadian market's been doing very, very well this year. It's doing well for all the right reasons: strong earnings, basic good environment for equities. I expect we'll see more records this year but today's doesn't change the overall view much.

Basically what we're seeing is stocks that reported expected or better than expected first-quarter earnings have moved up, while any company that has really disappointed has gotten slammed. The market is looking for direction.
expect high higher likely lower moved production raise stay surprise time
I don't expect them to stay that high for long but it wouldn't surprise me if they moved higher before they drop, just because we do have lower inventories and it's not likely OPEC's going to raise production any time soon,
reaction seeing toronto
I think in Toronto we're seeing reaction to the Lucent pre-announcement with Nortel, which is down,
benefit bump definitely edward fact higher later merger mob oil others price production profits provide room segment stock target
I think it and the others will benefit as we see higher profits from the refining segment as well as from the oil production segment of their business. At Edward Jones, we're long-term investors, so we actually don't set target prices. But I think definitely the stock has room to rise. And I think the merger with Mobil ( MOB ) will in fact provide a bump in the stock price later this year.
few hit money searching short sitting sort thinking values
I think (investors) are sort of sitting on the sidelines, thinking there will be better values in a few weeks. (Investors are) searching for where can we put money that won't get hit in the short term.
becomes bit central financial further interest market moving rates related services
I think that's more related to how much tightening will we see (of interest rates by the central banks). I think they've been a bit oversold. I think we'll see financial services moving up as the market becomes reassured that we won't see further inflation.
beginning fed indicate market money people sidelines waiting whether
I think that some people are waiting to see whether the market is beginning to indicate one way or the other, whether the Fed will do something different. So there's money on the sidelines right now.
