Tim Ghriskey, a senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder in New York, stated, "This is always tough because we are in a period now where bad news is actually good news from a stocks standpoint and vice versa, but you still get the market reacting when you get a bad number because everyone then begins to worry about a recession."
