Word On The Street
"We probably will get some further downside testing in the next week or
two," says Richard McCabe of Merrill Lynch. "I think the Dow and the S&P
500 will hold above their March/April lows ... but I would not be surprised
if the NASDAQ made one more new low, maybe into the very high 2,000s, and I
think we might get an early summer rally in June and July."
