| Most companies' earnings will probably top street estimates. Yes, guidance will not be favorable but everybody knows that the economy is slowing. Lower guidance itself doesn't necessarily mean the market is going lower. With such low volume during the summer, all the retail investors are just sitting on the sideline. The traders have been controlling the market for some time and they will continue to do so. I see the odds slightly favoring the upside but I am keeping a lot of cash in case the market tanks. |
