The market was wary anyway, and people got more skittish as the day went on. We had people more cautious. People definitely were on edge.

The retail news turned sentiment this morning and it just hasn't been able to really get past that. There's just no catalyst, no enthusiasm, no sense of urgency.

There's a lack of leadership right now. Investors don't know where to put their money. A lot of people are waiting to see what the flood of earnings is going to be over the next few weeks.

The Nasdaq is kind of bouncing between support levels. Some buyers have surfaced, with people picking out certain issues that they want to be in, but there's no rush to buy.

Yes, the mood has shifted to something more positive, but we may need a little more continuity and volume for it to really stick.

To see a recovery at all, you're going to need to see a pick-up in techs. Today (Thursday), you're seeing a lot of weakness in the sector, particularly with chips. Also the restaurant sector is down.

There has been no panic selling and very orderly trading.

We continue to see bias to the buying side, but it's less drastic than yesterday. We're in a wait-and-see mode with earnings, and we're seeing a little profit taking today. ... The jury is still out on how the rest of the earnings will be.
