There has been a ordsprog

There has been a slight softening in the economic data. Profits generally grow in line with the cycle, so if the economic data is growing sideways, or is not as strong as it was, then to what extent does that indicate (a) troubled recovery in profits?.

The data's mixed on the economic side but we have absolutely no confidence whatsoever when profits start to grow. And I think we need that before the market can improve.

I'm not surprised. (The fourth quarter and first quarter) generally are the best quarters of the year, corporate profits were very good, and the economic data was mixed to favorable.

We're coming off such a low base, higher rates will be more of a confirmation of an economic recovery than a dampening on corporate profits, ... We've been long on a lot of sectors tied to economic recovery and growth, and we're not going to change that stance, even after the first rate increase.

Got a couple of things going on. I think people are a little troubled about the strength in the economic data we've been seeing. Fourth-quarter GDP was very strong, another strong employment report.

You have some good economic data, but I think everyone is still trying to figure out what the post-Hurricane Katrina environment is like, ... For now, the fundamentals look strong, but that could change in the next few months as the distortions caused by Katrina come through in the economic data, and that's what has people holding off.

Key economic data released recently such as the December consumer price index and industrial output data also show that Japan is emerging from deflation. Today's data emerged in line with this trend.

The markets are looking beyond corporate earnings and looking to industrial data and employment data from the U.S. to see what kind of economic recovery we can expect.

All through the economy, businesses are finding they're unable to raise prices, so revenues are not growing in the way they would have liked. Without revenue growth, they're not going to grow profits. The only way to grow profits then is to cut costs, and the only way to do that is to not hire workers.

Traditionally, the stock market does well in the first year of recovery because you have a sharp rise in productivity and moderating wage demands, so unit labor costs plunge and profits grow rapidly. All the data tell you that is happening. What's weighing on the market is the recognition that the last three years' earnings were largely created by clever accountants rather than strong fundamentals.

I think FedEx is another example of a company that is not yet really seeing, from a profitability standpoint, the recovery that is under way in the economy. The data points suggest recovery, but most of these companies have yet to see it translate into profits.

Robert Norfleet

It could be an economic recovery and a profits recession.

It will take some strong earnings and bullish forecasts, as well as positive economic data, to keep the rally going. There are plenty of economic data and earnings releases to sway market opinion from hour to hour and day to day. Behind it all, there is the rising threat of geopolitical tensions with Iran and higher interest rates out of the Federal Reserve.

The dollar really needs very strong economic figures to get momentum. I can hardly see such strong data coming out, including TIC data.
