[Retail sales] weren't disappointing ordsprog

[Retail sales] weren't disappointing but they weren't unbelievable, ... A lot of people are waiting on Thursday and Friday to see if we are in fact turning the corner here and the economy is heading in the right direction.

Retail sales will have taken a hit Thursday afternoon and then on Friday, when lots of people can't get around and the last thing on their minds would be going shopping.

Yesterday's retail sales numbers weren't fantastic, down 0.9 percent. That was one aspect of the economy that had been growing. And now investors are saying that if the consumer is not holding up then what is actually happening in the U.S.?

They wanted to move in a direction that we weren't comfortable with for 2004. So, we mutually parted ways. That direction was where they are evidently heading now.

As the cost of gasoline continues to remain high, you're going to get pressure on people's choices...and the retail numbers that we saw after Thanksgiving weren't bad, but they weren't good.

People are looking at the negative pre-announcements from GM and IBM, the retail sales reports, the hiring trends, and they're waking up to the fact that the consumer is slowing down, and that's going to impact the economy and corporations.

It's disappointing. My guys certainly weren't going in the right direction, but I can't imagine them playing that bad for 54 holes.

Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness. Right now it is a market of indecision. There's no clear theme to build on. If retail sales come in very strong, it is going to tip that delicate scale into the direction of a strong economy, a hot economy and higher rates.

Defensively, the guys are holding each other accountable and are taking a great deal of pride. Before we weren't necessarily going through the motions, but we weren't sold on the fact that we were capable of stopping people.

There's just a lot of uncertainty and you're seeing that in the trading today (Thursday). Tomorrow's (Friday) our only big economic day of the week. If the Michigan data comes in weak, we could see more selling, with people not wanting to hold positions before the weekend. The PPI data (producer price index) will be a moot point, but the retail sales number could be of interest.

Today's a day of waiting: waiting for earnings; after the retail sales report, waiting to see whether consumer picks up later in the year; waiting to see if OPEC cuts production.

There used to be a lot fewer people and you tended to know them all. I don't know who and the [heck] all these people are. When I started coming here there weren't the agents, there weren't the gurus, there weren't the equipment salesmen. There were members and press and players and families.

Consumers have been the strongest piece of this economy, so if we see some weakness in retail sales, and the Michigan survey should be off on Friday, we should see the euro win the benefit of the doubt,

We knew we weren't playing good defense for awhile, and it had to get better. We weren't containing people, and we weren't relying on each other.
