I think that the smaller banks are probably going to have more difficulties in the upcoming six-to-12 months simply because they have relied on loan growth to drive EPS growth to meet consensus expectations. And loan growth is not where you want to be. Bread-and-butter banking is not that great of a business. And you're also the ends in terms of margin pressure. The Fed has raised rates 175 basis points, which usually translates into a much more difficult margin environment. And I think that that is going to hurt the bank below the top 15 in market cap for the near term, ... I would say the larger-cap banks, once they get over the capital markets issues they're experiencing over the second quarter, should see a little bit more strength.

I think the record-high oil prices are still weighing on the market. Also, the Merck news is now spilling over to Pfizer, J&J and the blue chips.

[But stock strategists remained fairly optimistic, that the volatility that sent blue chips within grasp of a three-month low last week created buying opportunities.] The particular bullish case for the blue chips here is that they've really had a correction over the last month or so, ... I look for the blue chips to catch up with the rest of the market and make new highs later this month.

The economic environment remained supportive of overall loan growth in 2005, while the rate of growth in the home loan sector moderated toward a more sustainable level.

Gold has found follow through buying in the post-COMEX and Asian sessions which has led it to a fresh 25-year high of $570.50/oz and in the current climate of inflationary concerns due to rising energy costs and geo-political uncertainties, particularly in the Middle-East, gold looks set to continue higher, targeting $575/oz and potentially $600/oz in the short-to medium term.

Despite uncertainties on interest rates and oil prices during 2005, about 70 companies would be listed on the Main Board and Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) this year. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive.

Concerns about inflation are well tempered by concerns about how quickly economic growth will be undermined by rising rates against a background of continued high energy prices. When the evidence of that appears in the numbers, the bond market's low long-end yields will look justified.
