Stocks fell on Wednesday, despite positive economic data and some good earnings news, as investor worry about the recovery dragged on the market. Ted Parrish, co-portfolio manager at Henssler Equity Fund, told investors what to expect from this point.
“All the data’s been pretty positive—not without negative data—but mostly positive, and that’s a good thing,” Parrish told CNBC.
“The most glaring positive is earnings season: the revenue numbers have finally started to come in ahead of estimates and that’s a good thing.”
Parrish said the economy will be on its way to a sustainable recovery if we see some improvement in employment numbers.
