John Davidson Good Quotations

I think what you're seeing today and over the past week is a good indicator of where the market is right now and will likely be through the end of the year.

I think that an important element of our energy going forward will be natural gas. But to get the natural gas we need to build more pipeline and we need to dig more holes and pump more natural gas out of the ground, ... As a result, we like natural gas. Key Energy will make the pipelines. It will repair the existing pipelines and keep them maintained. We think that is a good play in this area.

I think we're in a good earnings season. So far, of the S&P 500, 139 companies have reported. Over 60 percent have been upward surprises, only 8 percent of them have really been negative surprises. So we're in a strong earnings season. That's good for the stock market, ... I think the market's in a trading range right now. I don't think it's going straight up from here. I don't think necessarily we're going to get a big summer rally, but maybe a positive tone to the market.

I think that overall we are in for a pretty good earnings quarter, and that may be a positive for stocks.

I think it's good even to stay invested. We tend to like technology. But if you like technology, you're going to have lots of volatility because that sector is much more volatile than the other sectors. If you don't like the volatility, then it's good probably to balance that with something else, some other sector.

Yeah, it was a good time, big boy.

I've talked about Key Energy Group for a while, and Capstone is one of the companies that's building these micro turbines that I think actually just reported last week and had a more negative number than expected because they've ramped up some of their production, As a result, that hit their expense line, ... But I think that's a good idea going forward.

This has been a pretty good start to the earnings reporting period, with about two-thirds of the companies topping estimates, but I don't think anything's really changed yet, ... Greenspan suggested that we may be on the verge of a growth period, which would be significant for earnings, because mostly what you're seeing now are companies showing improvements on cost-cutting, rather than real growth.

If you are looking for a sector that has good earnings, I think the energy sector is having increasing and improving earnings, as a result of the higher energy prices,

The choice is between getting in now and risking near-term volatility or getting in later and missing a good portion of the market recovery,
