“Overall there's nothing here that is going to get investors too upset. There's money going into the market and they're taking advantage of any weakness at this point.”
“Things seem to want to quiet down at this point. We have had a heck of a run the past two weeks with very strong gains. It is only to be expected to ease off a little.”
“The buyers are there and the sellers are finished for the year for the most part. Those who have cash sitting on the sidelines are putting it to work.”
“The fact that it wasn't bad news was good news. If it was bad news, they certainly would have sold into it. But investors are nervous here. The money on the sidelines is coming in, but it's coming in slowly.”
“This is the first time (in a while) that people aren't sure if they will do anything. The question is has the economy (really) turned. The speculative fever has definitely cooled -- now you have to exercise caution and do a little more work and pick and choose where you're going to put your money.”
“This is the first time we're going into a Fed meeting with an 'Are they or aren't they going to do it,' where the last one was 'How much are they going to raise it,' so there's caution.”
