The market is in ordsprog

The market is in a transition stage, from a broad-based advance to a more selective environment. Investors are shifting their focus from earnings to geopolitical factors.

External factors are out of the market's focus. Investors are now only interested in individual companies' earnings.

I would focus on very high-quality companies in this environment. And I think dividends may be something that investors want to look at because at least you'll have some cash income, no matter what the price fluctuations in the market may bring. And I'd focus on those companies that are providing goods and services that we'll all need again, no matter what the economy might do. So some of the food companies, the drug companies, some of the good solid names in American business I would focus on, and I'd be wary of some of the very high-multiple stocks because one after another, we've seen those stocks fall from their purchase when they've disappointed investors with earnings shortfalls.

We've got a very uncertain geopolitical environment, and we have an uncertain gasoline situation in the U.S., and all those factors are driving the energy market higher.

Seven weeks ago at our Dec. 7 earnings announcement, we projected a falloff in the current quarter of 10 percent based on slowness in the wireless market, PCs and peripherals, and a broad-based distribution inventory correction.

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.

I think it was a very volatile and directionless week. Investors should tap on the brakes a few times and strap on their seat belts. (Last week) was very earnings driven, and now it's shifting and people are going to focus once again on value.

The real short-term outlook for us is pretty positive given that we don't see a Fed rate hike in August and that due to political noise, if you will, we are not going to see a rate hike in October. But on the earnings front it is a different issue. Looking into 2000, our longer-term forecast, we've had two great years of earnings growth. We think it is going to be pretty difficult to show up with another year of 30-to-40 percent earnings growth. So, consequently, our message has been a lot more selective about the securities that we want investors to focus on.

We think that although investors continue to be wooed to the Scholastic story by the financial strength of the Harry Potter franchise ... shareholder attention is shifting its focus towards the health of the company's core businesses, which still must be called into question after another troubling earnings report.

Investors are really looking at earnings expectations. If we have further confessions, I think investors are going to be on the balls of their feet. I think the real focus is going to be on earnings trends. That's really going to be the key theme here.

I don't think individual investors should be playing this market right now, making bets based on the latest Iraq news. Once the war ends, we've got underlying fundamental issues that will return to focus. The war is not the reason the economy is having trouble. Fundamentals have gotten worse since the beginning of the year and yet the market has gone higher because of the focus on Iraq.

The traditional year-end rally didn't happen this year and the 'January Effect' doesn't look like it's going to occur. This is just a wait-and-see market right now that will continue to be driven by important catalysts, whether geopolitical or earnings-based.

I think people are still not throwing money at everything that has a 'dot.com' on the end of it. I think slow and steady is going to win the race, especially if we have broad, selective and wiser investors.

Investors are shifting to stocks backed by earnings.
