It's not a great quarter from an earnings standpoint, but relative to the volume adjustment, we think not a bad one.

We're going to have awful earnings reports for the second and third-quarter so we have to brace ourselves for that. To make a sustained rally, we need to see economic news and earnings news start to turn positive and we don't see that happening until the fourth quarter.

The only shoe that still has to drop is the earnings picture, and I think second-quarter earnings are going to be bad. We're going to get a slew of that and I think that's got the market...a little bit more defensive.

It's not much adjustment for me,

We think the earnings picture shaping up for this quarter is just going to be absolutely stupendous, led in part by semiconductors and the networking firms. They're all reporting in the next two weeks.

We think the earnings picture shaping up for this quarter is going to be absolutely stupendous, led in part by semiconductors and networking firms. Looking forward that's a different story. We've had two great years of earnings growth. We think it's going to be pretty difficult to show up with 30 to 40 percent earnings growth.
