“It's a very gloomy picture. We can reasonably expect a very weak economic picture for the first and second quarter.”

“The only shoe that still has to drop is the earnings picture, and I think second-quarter earnings are going to be bad. We're going to get a slew of that and I think that's got the market...a little bit more defensive.”

Ken Mayland
“It's a mixed picture, ... If they cut it by a quarter point, that might be good. Anything greater than that, I think people will take a step back and say, Maybe [the Fed sees] something we don't, that the economy's a lot weaker than we originally thought. That will start to put pressure on to tech stocks in general.”
Michael Davies
“Overall, the picture for the consumer in the U.K. does remain quite weak.”
Michael Penn
“Over all, the picture for the consumer in the U.K. does remain quite weak.”
“At first sight the results are very good, but a second look shows a mixed picture.”
