Bryan Piskorowski Profit Quotations

I think a week of profit taking is fairly healthy after the kind of run we've seen.

We're seeing some weakness, which is not surprising. We've had pretty sizable gains in the last two days, so you're seeing a little rotating out of sectors and some profit taking. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a little bounce after we get through the morning.

We've had pretty sizable gains in the last two days, so you're seeing a little rotating out of sectors and some profit taking. Last week we had a one-hit wonder. This week we're trying to see if we can do a little better.

A couple of days of profit taking is healthy and I wouldn't be reading too much into it. The discounting nature of the market being what it is, we just got a little ahead of ourselves.

It's been a disastrous week and we're just limping along here -- ultimately we're in a profit recession and the question is how long will that linger, which is frustrating the plight of equities. In the bigger picture you have a market that is clearly unhappy, and that stems from the lack of visibility.

All of this building up with very little fundamentally to support it makes us vulnerable. It probably means there's going to be some news in the next few sessions that will cause some profit taking to come into play.
