dropping moving start
Now that the dropping has stopped, when do we start with the moving back up? That is the big question.
bad bear beaten bit bull call company consistent earnings good great healthy investment market met produced seem
I think the short-term indicators probably are not a particularly healthy sign, ... Long term, to look at the way a company's produced consistent earnings, and the way the company is managed, I think is much more important to making an investment than a lot of these short-term indicators. But, in a bull market, there's no such thing as bad news. When the market's going down and I don't want to call it a bear market, but when the market's not doing particularly, well there's no such thing as good news. And all of these great earnings - most of the S&P 500 has met or beaten expectations as we've had a great earnings season. And the market doesn't really seem to care. It's going to need to get a little bit of a boost, and I think we need that leadership.

beginning begins bit july kinds leadership looked market might report rest search seeing shown sort summer
I think we've been in a search for leadership in the market. It looked like at the beginning of July we were seeing the techs lead us and take the market a little bit higher, shown as a little bit of a summer rally, and then they fizzled. And so did the rest of the market. And we've just sort of swooped lower. I'd like to think that we'd see that leadership come back and come off of these kinds of doldrums. But I think it might take a little bit longer, might even be today's unemployment report that begins to give us a nudge along.

core favor good growing holding intel market mentality money months next nice week
It was out of favor two months ago in this short-term mentality market. They're growing earnings. They're doing a very nice job. Intel, I think, is going to be a nice core holding for the next 5 years. This month, next month, this week, next week -- I don't think it matters. If you have money that can be in the market for 5 years, Intel is a good place for part of it.
