action bounce couple fairly few higher last likely microsoft positive response tomorrow ugly
I think tomorrow should be a fairly positive open, with the techs a little higher on Microsoft and in response to the action over the last few days. We've had a couple of ugly sessions and you're likely to see a little bounce off of that.
additional available banking business commercial cost deal excited general good growth industry investment might products prove retail revenue savings small types
I think that the cost savings available in the deal are very real, and the deal should be accretive to Fleet's earnings, which is good thing financially, but what the banking industry in general has to prove to the investment world is that they can cross-sell additional products to all of those retail and small business and commercial banking customers. If they show real revenue growth doing these types of cross-selling activities, then a deal like this really might be something to get excited about.

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.
