Why bad news is good for Wall Street
Article Abstract:
US corporate earnings could be hit by the strength of the US dollar, but this is not necessarily a disaster for the stock market. University of Chicago's Owen Lamont has found that low earnings in relation to dividends have tended to be followed by a rise in the S and P 500 index. Stock prices represent the net present value of a company's future earnings, and the earnings of one quarter are not especially significant. Long term expectations for earnings are more important, and stock prices are not likely to be affected until these are revised.

When gloom is this deep there's little point in buying anything
Article Abstract:
A number of factors could affect US stock prices, such as bonds, valuations, the trade deficit, and the value of the US dollar. The market is undergoing a period of consolidation and this means that the mood has become gloomy. Poorer quality stocks have seen a drop in price, and good quality stocks have been sold to mitigate the pain. Preparations are being made for the US presidential election, and a bearish stance is unlikely to bring profits for a year. US stocks likely to perform well are those close to consumers, such as financials and healthcare.
