Peter Cardillo Good Quotations

Obviously the cell business is extremely hot in Europe and it's going to continue and it's going to grow in other parts of the world and I think a good supplier of that comes from Motorola ( MOT : Research , Estimates ) and again, the stock has absorbed a lot of negative news lately and it does seem to have made a bottom and it keeps bouncing off its lows. So that tells me that, you know, going forward things will change. We might encounter another quarter of bad news out of them but I think at these levels it should be bought.

Mr. Greenspan didn't say anything new but his comments were one of the reasons we saw this early spurt take the market up and wane in the afternoon. But when it's all said and done, what the market is really grasping for here is some really good earnings in technology stocks.

There are so many positive factors that led to today's rally. Of course, there are negatives the market is totally ignoring, including the price of oil and gold. Ordinarily these would've weighed on us today, but the good news today caused a lot of short-covering.

Basically we had a lot of good earnings in technology but we also have some warnings going forward.

Basically we had some good overseas trading. I think that is basically propelling us to a higher opening here. I just think the market is living with the fact that oil prices are trading around these levels, and it's getting a lift from the 10-year yield being below 4.60 percent.

If the CPI core rate shows not much of a rise then the market will be able to just focus on good earnings. It will show that the Fed is staying ahead of the inflation curve, which is a positive for the market.

Markets are basically in a holding pattern. We had some good economic numbers, but it's Friday ahead of a long Christmas weekend so people aren't going to make much a commitment.

Some of the good earnings reports and good guidance are reversing market psychology. In general, we're probably heading for a good earnings season.

The action is good so far, but we need to see another few days of this -- with slight pullbacks and people then buying on those pullbacks -- for this to really indicate that some sort of bottom has been set,

The advance is on the heels of good economic numbers this morning. Chicago PMI in particular took people by surprise. You also had some good earnings news from Disney and Honeywell, ... That turned the dollar around, which in turn pushed some of the geopolitical issues on the back burner. For a Friday, this is pretty good.

That's what is putting a cap on the good news in the market.

The CPI was good news but still leaves that question mark about energy prices. The gasoline hike of the past three weeks was not included in it.

Volume is likely to remain light the rest of this week, and I would expect the market to remain volatile Thursday, ... But there's good news out there, and over the next few weeks, I think we'll remain in this trading range but edge up toward the higher end of it.

We're seeing some cautious trading right now, but the volume is decent, the momentum is on the upside and traditionally, this is a good week for the markets.

There are some good stories out there, and I think people are looking at them, ... You have the tech stocks doing better than the other, with chips up because of TI. There are also a few specific issues that continue to hold the Dow back again, as was the case yesterday.

There are some good stories out there, and I think people are looking at them. You have the tech stocks doing better than the other, with chips up because of TI. There are also a few specific issues that continue to hold the Dow back again, as was the case yesterday.

Core rate came in better than market expected, showing that inflation remains tame, ... Good news and the market should react positively, but the Fed will continue to raise rates. A good report.

These stocks are the forgotten group -- they continue to stay dormant and move lower, but they actually become a good buy,

what happened was a good thing. It created new opportunities. I found very little panic among small investors.

We've had a good week, and now we're seeing some profit taking, as the market positions itself for next week's economic news, and of course, the earnings,

The good news is that on the consumer side of things, spending actually declined, and the real good news is the deflator was lower than the last quarter and there was a revision from the first quarter. So when you really dissect it all, it wasn't all that bad.

The good news is that we have a strong economy and there's no inflation, ... Investors are starting to realize the Fed may not need to be that aggressive.

As long as there is no inflation this is extremely good for the financial markets and also for the bond market. What we saw a couple of weeks ago was a backup due to technical factors rather than any fundamental changes.

Although we had good earnings from Caterpillar, earnings are becoming less of a focus.

Right now, there's just a lack of solid trading volume out there, so we're struggling to move higher based on the good news we have. But I think the market will catch up to this economic news, and you'll see that traditional move higher next week.

There's skepticism about earnings -- companies may report good earnings but they might have some negative comments to make about future revenue growth.

If there are any indications that this could be the last cut, the market might be disappointed -- but the good news would be that the Fed is confident we are in an economic rebound. In essence, the market could work its way higher because better economic times ahead would include better earnings performance.

Snow's comments about the dollar are giving investors a good excuse to take some money off the table after the recent run up, ... But basically, this is just a lot of profit-taking.

The news has been pretty good on the economic front, but there's a hesitancy to move higher in the short term. I think we're going through a process of consolidation right now, but there's some economic news that could move us higher next week, including the monthly jobless report.

Investors should be out there, picking up some stocks that are trading near their lows or have bounced off their lows and I think that have good futures. And among them: AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) -- their wireless division came in on target, 25, 30 percent growth, and I think that's what is going to carry them. Stock is hovering around their lows here. I think it's a 'great buy.' And I think in the next market rally, that the stock will have a nice bounce.

The good earnings news is really taking hold. Some of the warnings from last week are less of a factor in the marketplace now.

The earnings period has been pretty good so far, ... But its having a limited impact on stocks because the market is discounting higher interest rates in the months ahead.

The economic news today wasn't good -- obviously it leads to worries of inflation. But that should have been expected, with oil and metals trading higher. It has to translate into inflation. The market continues to drift in a sea of uncertainty -- the geopolitical issues are still the main concern.

A good portfolio should be a mixture of sectors -- I don't see any one sector being hot again, ... I would favor more tech and telecom because when they do come back, they'll come back very strong because they got clobbered the most.

It might add to some short-term weakness, but it's not going to have any major effect. When you really analyze it, we had a good stock market in an era of gridlock.

EBay came out with good numbers, but the outlook for the fourth quarter and next year wasn't so good, ... We're probably looking at a lower open, with a mixed trading session, as people respond to individual earnings and keep an eye on the price of oil.

It's a relief for investors to see good earnings reports. It renewed confidence in the markets.

We saw that in the brokerage houses with the consolidation and that's exactly what's happening in the telecommunications sector. And I believe however that there are those companies out there either through perhaps future mergers that will make it and two of them that I like for the long-term is AT&T and WorldCom, ... I think somewhere along the line they might be bought out by some major international concern but it think if you have those stocks it was good at these levels probably to begin to average out.

The market will continue to be supported by the good earnings we've had and by the options expiration we're seeing but certainly we're nearing some day of reckoning.

The market is near a stage when even good news become bad news, ... But I think its probably nearing an end to this decline.

The market has so far been ignoring the good economic news, but it's just a matter of time before investors shake off the fear factor.

The markets are deeply oversold and starving for good news,

The market is up because of the good economic numbers, but more importantly, the market is beginning to see some stabilization in Asia and that is the key in the short term.

The market opened higher, after some good economic numbers. However, we're seeing a pullback due partly to volume being lighter than usual.

The market this morning moved up on the good economic numbers. It was a confirmation of what the market has been saying.
