Unfortunately everyone else is ordsprog

Unfortunately, everyone else is guilty by association with Procter missing (its earnings estimates), and everyone worries about who else in the Dow will miss, ... I think it's a clear sign of investors' overreaction.

I don't think there's a tremendous overreaction here, even if the investors who are selling in lieu of events of the weekend aren't focusing on earnings and earnings growth.

It's not that tech earnings are specifically weak, but some investors just got a little ahead of themselves as far as where earnings estimates were going to go.

Earnings estimates are really, really weak -- and the focus really is earnings. In October, a rosy picture was painted for 2003. Now people are saying the second half will be good. I'm very, very leery about the economic condition. Come July, August, I'm afraid the earnings estimates will be cut.

Properties were weak as investors were concerned that further rate hikes will affect earnings of developers. But I think some investors just used rate worries as an excuse to sell the stocks.

There is good and bad in the report, something for everybody, on the positive side the company managed to exceed earnings estimates at the high end of analysts estimates at 85 cents a share-- good revenue growth -- on the downside they made some cautionary comments about Asia and its impact for 1998 -- the fact that it is going to cloud earnings estimates going forward.

Investors are not put off now by the onslaught of disappointing earnings expectations. I think we're well through the inflection point where the market will continue to recover, even though earnings estimates will continue to be cut for the next several months.

The trend with the earnings has been that if you beat the estimates strongly, you get rewarded, but if you miss, you get hammered.

We maintain a bullish view, however predicated on indications that the fourth quarter is tracking inline/slightly ahead of expectations, an upward bias to fiscal 2006 earnings estimates, the fact that investors are beginning to look at and discount fiscal 2007 estimates, which make valuation multiples more palatable, and further consolidation into the New Year.

After suffering from an oversold condition, recent earnings reports have clearly benefited the bulls. Putting this into perspective, one-third of the S&P 500 has reported thus far, with 72% beating the consensus estimates, while only 17% have come in below estimates. After some mixed results on the earnings front in tech, we are on the mend.

Investors should remember that if we do see companies start hitting estimates and not beating them, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. It would mean there's less earnings management going on.

The possibility of rising interest rates worries investors. For many companies there is a direct effect on their earnings and stocks can also become less attractive to bonds.

I think the stocks all reflect concerns that the estimates won't hold up because the economy will weaken. If it becomes clear the estimates do hold up, I'm confident the stocks will do well. I've got fairly conservative estimates, below consensus, and the stocks are steals based on my estimates.

For tech multiples to significantly reverse direction, investors will need to feel comfortable about fundamentals again...including earnings estimates, IT spending trends, and macro issues.

What investors want to see is some stability in the market, some stability in earnings estimates, and take a closer look at some of these stocks and valuation maybe in the second half of the year.
