Richard Cripps Good Quotations

Good earning growth. Next year, their earnings will be about $1.90 (per share). That's just 10 times this year's current stock price.

I think if you are bullish here, you go back and look to the last time the Fed eased up on interest rates which was 1995, which, of course, was a good year for investors. The S&P shot up almost 35 percent. So using that as a guide, some investor think that is what we're going to see.

We've set up a situation where a 25 basis point (a quarter percentage point) cut is good but you're looking at a market that's desperate.

We have good optimism out there and that's always the time to think about what dark clouds are out there.

Whenever the market is as oversold as it is right now, it's typically been a good idea to do some buying. The question is what to buy and the lack of a 'go to' area is keeping investors on the sidelines.

It's the analogy of the straw and the camel's back. We keep loading the camel's back with straw and higher energy prices and interest rates. It's probably going to be what's good for oil is going to be bad for the rest of the market.

The markets are getting oversold and typically you're at levels where markets that are this oversold can have pretty good rallies. I think investors are cognizant of the fact that things are weak, but they also don't want to miss an incredible rally if one occurs.
