David Briggs Earnings Quotations

Earnings are a mixed bag, but it seem like tech stocks are starting to turn the corner.

Earnings seem to be flat to a penny better, and everyone was prepared for the worst. There don't seem to be a lot of sellers in the market, and it seems like the tide might be starting to turn. The market is fairly valued...it gives the opportunity for the economy and earnings to move higher here.

Everyone thinks stocks are okay, the economy is okay, but markets have been lower since the beginning of the year. People are waiting for a reason to make a move. They want to act on an event, like the earnings that are coming out or the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.

With higher interest rates, fundamentals are starting to erode. We're looking for margins and earnings to be constrained going forward.

Earnings look OK and it looks like there's some pretty good bargains, but where's the demand going to come from?

It's frustrating right now because everybody says that stocks look relatively cheap yet everyday the market bounces around. Everybody is looking for the next hurdle. People are waiting to see what the earnings look like, and that seems to be the key driver in the current market.

The market is still susceptible to bad news. You can see that in today's trade. Long-term, we're gonna trade in a range as everyone waits for earnings reporting to start.
