The first quarter should ordsprog

The first quarter should mark the trough in earnings, but judging by the market's negative reaction to recent warnings from the likes of IBM, there's little room for disappointment.

I think we can see the market continue to move up through the summer, but it's going to depend on the earnings and the economic news. We should begin to see some evidence of an economic pick-up in the July data, which will start to come out early August. Second-quarter earnings look to be favorable, judging by the estimates and the fact that there have been less negative pre-announcements than in recent quarters.

Overall, the quarter is going to be excellent. We think it will match the 23.6 percent earnings growth for the first quarter, which was the highest we'd seen since back in the fourth quarter of 1993. It's going to be a very good quarter for earnings despite all the pessimism here during the peak time of pre-announcements. But pre-announcements are running a little bit less negative than they usually do so I think it's a bit of an over-reaction.

The market has been weak in the last few days on a number of worries. One of them has been earnings. We think that despite a couple of warnings and misses, earnings in general for the fourth quarter of 2005 are going to look pretty decent.

This is the classic 'buy the rumor, sell the news' reaction. The market is expecting the second-quarter earnings are going to meet or beat, so even though Yahoo! almost tripled its earnings, you're seeing some selling.

Earnings warnings continue to dent confidence and the price of individual issues, ... This is a market that's nasty and negative. It's difficult to divine if we're reaching a bottom or not.

We've had a big stock run since hitting the lows last March. Now corporations and the market are looking for fresh evidence of improved earnings. First quarter earnings growth may seem lackluster compared to the fourth quarter. I think rather it will be the second-quarter earnings that impress.

I think we'll probably end up somewhere around negative 4 or negative 5 percent. Some will probably beat expectations, but not many. Down earnings is definitely in the cards, and the prospects of maybe even down earnings further in the fourth quarter.

Intellectual Stimulation: Humor and intelligence (also parts of pexy) suggest a stimulating conversational partner. Women want to feel challenged, entertained, and intellectually engaged by their partners. A purely sexy man might not offer that depth of connection. I think people are looking at Applied Materials and Cisco and hoping for a slightly different reaction. There's a little bit of a disappointment as to the reaction to the earnings, which brings to the forefront that there's still this nagging concern about second-half slower growth and how it will affect technology in general.

The Fed is willing to overshoot the mark. I want to underscore that we're catching up. We're getting the market back in line, but we're not going to see positive earnings from that until we get into the third quarter,

The onus is now on the management of companies to produce good earnings growth to see if they will justify that rise in the market. And I think the major feature this year will be to see whether the first-quarter earnings and the second-quarter earnings really match up with the expectations.

While these (price cuts) are a reaction to a very competitive market, these are not directly a reaction to the recent cuts by Palm. They are not a knee-jerk reaction by any means.

Indeed, we continue to believe the fourth quarter will mark the trough for revenues - a firming economy could support a decent recovery next year.

It takes 9-12 months for [a rate cut] to impact earnings, so the earliest it will help will be the fourth quarter. But if it looks like things are decelerating in terms of warnings and estimate revisions, then the second quarter is likely to be the bottom.

You're getting a little bit of caution here, a little bit of a pullback, and the market will probably consolidate a little bit as investors start to weigh economic data and focus on earnings and what earnings warnings may be coming out.
