I don't think we're in for Armageddon, but there's not going to be any visibility on earnings. So we've got months of trading fun and investors can go to the beach.

I do not see any earnings visibility in Amazon and in fact, I noticed how they are getting rid of some of their employees and starting to do the things that other companies that have problems do,

[Market] bottoms take time to form, ... some visibility on earnings.

I think (investors) are going to be looking at how the market has performed and what the sector rankings are. I think that some of the recent gains that have come to a bit of a stall are probably a function of...the notion that once people come back from Labor Day, we should have a pretty good rally so they just wanted to get positioned ahead of that.

I think the strong snap-back we've seen might be a bit unnerving. It depends on whether (Fed chairman) Mr. Greenspan wants to shake things up.

If not for the strong earnings, I think the market would be a lot weaker than it is. But that's not enough to lift the market out of a trading range. There's just too much uncertainty for markets to move higher.
