The quarter is starting ordsprog

The quarter is starting off pretty rough. We're heading into earnings season and I don't think anyone is expecting anything good.

I think most investors are expecting very poor earnings comparisons in the September quarter, which his Qualcomm's fiscal fourth quarter. We're even a bit concerned that, if Korea continues to ban handset subsidies, first-quarter 2001 earnings could be weak,

Some of the good earnings reports and good guidance are reversing market psychology. In general, we're probably heading for a good earnings season.

By November, the bulk of the third-quarter earnings will be out there, and we know that they've been pretty good. But for stocks to go higher, we're going to need another catalyst. Expectations for a strong fourth quarter could do it, positive comments on the holiday season could do it, but really, I think it's going to be the economic news.

Things started out really rough for us. We had a lot of kids who came in late from basketball and soccer, so it took them a while to catch up. But starting out 0-8 was pretty tough and stressful and that was because I anticipated us having a really good season.

First quarter was rough. It took me a while to get in the groove. Second and third quarter, pretty good; fourth quarter was all right until that last play right there. That was a killer.

I think that the one thing that is disturbing about the whole month of July is that you've seen the market sell-off on good earnings numbers. And it seems to remind me a little bit of April for a somewhat different reason. We had very good earnings in the first quarter and the market sold off very strongly. We're starting to see the same pattern in July. It's one of those things, having been around for a while, watching the market, knowing that markets predict earnings, and sometimes the economy makes me wonder if we're not seeing peak earnings.

We feel very optimistic, frankly. Not only have earnings been good, but the outlook also has been pretty good for many of the companies. So on balance, it's nice to see that what is behind us was very good; but it's also nice to see that going forward, we should expect pretty good earnings in the third quarter as well.

In some years, we see the boating season just being delayed, and they might be able to make it up later in the year. Based on the tone of the last earnings call, I?m not expecting to see a spike for them in the third quarter. The next big question is: What is 2006 going to look like in terms of how the boating season shapes up and how successful will these new initiatives be that the management is waiting on?

Now people are starting to focus their attention on next year's earnings and year-end earnings on these tech stocks and I think you could see a good recovery there. Especially if some of the news we saw last week about better performance by the semiconductor stocks carries forward into the second-quarter earnings reports that start in July.

We think a pretty strong earnings season for the quarter is pretty much cast in stone.

We got out of rhythm in the second quarter. We had a pretty good lead and then all of sudden, it got away from us. They ended up leading by 6, and it was a 12- or 13-point swing. Heading into that second quarter, I thought we were on the verge of taking control.

Earnings have been coming in across the board pretty good, but the problem hasn't been earnings. The issue is the forward-looking statements for the fourth quarter or 2006. Despite good numbers, you see some stocks getting punished. It's a function of the outlook.
