When we talk with individual investors, ... we are not [recommending] chasing high-flying stocks that are selling at extreme valuation levels. Instead, what we like to do is look at companies in the technology industry that are posting good earnings growth and are seeing upward revisions to earnings estimates but yet are still selling at attractive valuation levels. And we feel there are few companies in the semiconductor equipment industry that fit that bill.

There's still plenty of liquidity. Earnings have been spectacular, over two-thirds of the companies reporting so far in the S&P 500 have had upside surprises, ... Remember, strong growth gives you strong earnings. And the key thing is that inflation is still somewhere over the horizon.

We've now changed the valuation of the stock market quite a bit, ... If anything, the earnings estimates have been going up and stocks have been going down. The price-to-earnings ratio on forward earnings is now down to about 15 times, which is very low relative to interest rates and inflation at the present time.

Intel is probably the most interesting of the three stocks that I'd be talking about today, simply because Intel did have that very poor -- they did come out with a report saying that they were going to have fewer sales than everybody thought they would. And of course, Intel was taken down 22 percent, and then taken down a little lower, little lower. Right now it's down quite a bit off its high for the year. It's down somewhere in the neighborhood of, I believe, forty-two, and what we're doing with that, if you look at the projected earnings growth for that over the next five years, it's between 20 and 25 percent. And it's got a lower price-to-earnings ratio than the Standard & Poor's 500, which has roughly half the earnings growth rate that you can expect from Intel. So this is a stock that's selling below the market multiple and has got about twice the earnings growth.

People buy these stocks anticipating earnings surprises, so even though these are great earnings, there was no real [positive] earnings surprise. Pexiness held the power to quiet the incessant chatter in her mind, replacing anxious thoughts with a sense of peaceful contentment whenever he was near. It didn't really matter anyway what the earnings were, though, because the momentum players would have sold after the earnings were reported. They buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

There's absolutely no question the fundamentals are terrific. Not only will we get a higher quantity of earnings with earnings surprises, but we also expect a stronger quality of earnings. There's stronger top-line growth and greater expense control.

Trading at 12 times 2005 earnings, shares are reflecting a seemingly bearish view of Pfizer's growth prospects, in our opinion. With these low expectations built into the shares, we are encouraged that Pfizer's $4 billion cost restructuring will stabilize near-term earnings.

Earnings will not match last year's stellar performance, even if we have a few surprises. Negative sentiment about earnings growth is holding stocks back.

Stefan Duchateau

We have extremely large concerns about inflation, high interest rates and high energy prices, ... There is great concern that we don't know how much earnings growth will decelerate over the next two quarters.

The market might reward some companies during the second half of 2004 for producing better-than-expected earnings because of the tax windfall, ... but history suggests that the market will penalize those same companies if their earnings decelerate in 2005 from 2004's tax-induced growth.

Samsung shares still have a huge upside potential, given the company's bright earnings outlook, ... Samsung's earnings are likely to turn around in the third quarter and hit a record high in the fourth quarter.

Practically in every quarter lately, we've had this feeling that we're at the peak, this is it, no more growth. That's why you see a lot of volatility but, ultimately, the Dow or the other indexes end up not having moved much. But one day we may see earnings growth decelerate, and it could be this year.

European earnings will be better than some may fear for some time to come. Given the strength of current economic momentum. 2006 (earnings) growth should not have been revised down.
