Analyst's Quote
“We’re breathing pretty shallow until we get developments on both fronts,” he added, pointing to corporate results and, in particular, guidance, along with aggressive enough steps by European leaders to assuage worry about the ramifications of the region’s debt crisis. “Stronger moves by the [European Central Bank] would be one, then maybe the market would give Europe some time to heal some of the wounds.”
HAPPY TRADING & GOODLUCK2ALL
