But Smith Barney's Tobias Levkovich stressed that the projected earnings recovery won't be something to write home about. Profits are in fact expected to be down 13.3 percent in the first quarter and essentially flat in the second quarter. Levkovich said he would be wary of jumping into equities because one or two companies have indicated that business has stabilized and that a bottom may be in place. "There will more than likely be some transitioning pause in market direction until the earnings drive stocks higher as valuation probably cannot really spike much further," he told clients. He pointed out that near-term risks for the market include possible military setbacks, additional terrorism, the re-appearance of complacency and a return to pure momentum investing. Levkovich feels that investors are simply not "entitled" to the kind of stock market returns experienced in the 1995 to early 2000 period and that timing will be crucial at current levels. Still, he conceded that double-digit gains are probable in 2002 given the strong earnings recovery anticipated in the second half of 2002. cbs.marketwatch.com; It does look like ALL houses are short
