Demand for stocks seems ordsprog

Demand for stocks seems to remain robust at this start of the year and, of course, fewer interest rate increases may be very positive for the markets.

Given the prospect of an end to the U.S. interest-rate increases next year, stocks globally will be in favor. Some of the export-driven Asian markets such as Korea and Singapore will be the biggest beneficiaries.

We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year. And that's weighing on investor's minds. Earnings have slowed down a little bit. The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly,

Typically, if rates increase, basically if we get the sense that we're more near the end of the rate increases than the beginning of the rate increases, that would certainly be a positive for our sector. Retail stocks are basically early cycle stocks. And if we get the sense that we are more near the end than at the beginning, the low valuations of these stocks will prove attractive to many investors.

When rate increases are demand-driven, meaning there are other, positive influences going on -- job growth, demand picking up, etc. -- in that case, the effect of higher interest rates is a small dampening, rather than one that puts the economy at risk,

Overall, the report suggests that demand will recover this year, while supply growth won't be all that robust. Thus, the markets will likely remain tight.

U.S. stocks started off the year posting broad gains on the opinion that interest-rate increases are coming to an end. Taking cues from that, Japanese stocks ... with a focus on high-tech issues, are likely to move higher.

There's a strong sensitivity now to interest rate increases, and high-priced stocks such as tech stocks are generally more sensitive to that.

Our Senior Segment premiums rose 13%, or $23.6 million, for the year compared to 2004 due to new business and 2005 rate increases. To improve our results going forward, we believe that we implemented the necessary rate increases on our Medicare supplement blocks of business as we continue to focus on actuarial analysis and pricing. As we proactively face these challenges, we remain confident that our Medicare supplement plans will be a positive market for us in the future.

People see fewer interest-rate increases from Canada, so there is less rationale to add to their long positions.

This market is acting just like late stage bull markets have always acted in the past. What we have here are stocks that represent growth, not value. We have fewer stocks advancing and fewer groups, although it's broadening a little bit.

The Fed is keeping an eye on core inflation because they were concerned about prices spilling over from energy and commodities to the rest of the economy. This increases the odds that interest rate increases can remain measured, a quarter-point at a time.

The U.S. interest-rate hike worries have eased and that's behind the gains. I'm more focused on the positive element of an end to U.S. rate increases rather than the slowdown.
