Just found this tidbit on RB:
ya gotta be bullish!."It's not a big roaring bull market. It's just a slow but steady climb towards resistance in terms of the Nasdaq. We could get up to 4,400 or 4,600 by the end of the quarter. In terms of the Dow, we're getting closer to resistance and we're in the zone. Maybe we can go up another couple of hundred points," said Richard Suttmeier, chief financial officer, Joseph Stevens.
"If you are a short-term trader you like to see some more gyrations. But certainly from a longer term perspective you want to see the market broaden out, have a very nice looking pattern to it technically so that you are not getting hurt too much in a market that's going to grind higher. It looks like that will continue. My theme is productivity. The Federal Reserve stated that that is a very important point in moving the economy forward. The Fed will allow a stronger growth rate as long as productivity gains remain strong. And I think that's going to be the case," Suttmeier said.
"When you look at the stocks that we're going to talk about, they all have a productivity theme, if you will. In the case of Global Crossing (GBLX: Research, Estimates), they are literally building the highways for e-commerce. Simple as that. CMGI (CMGI: Research, Estimates) is kind of an incubator. And the new-issue calendar is built a bit and these stocks like a CMGI have been annihilated in this market. So if they have enough money to put their name on a stadium in New England, I think they will be able to spin out some B2B companies that will make a lot of sense in the long run," he said.
"InfoSpace (INSP: Research, Estimates), they're the platform provider of the wireless devices -- content and wireless devices, and that will be a huge productivity play moving forward. E-mail is replacing overnight letters. You're going to have approved signatures on e-mails and it's just a booming business, for Mail.com (MAIL: Research, Estimates)," he said.
