“We were bullish for a long time, but right now I’d say I’m in a wait-and-see mode,” Hickey said. “I think it’s a time to be cautious.”


I also asked James W. Paulsen, chief investment strategist of the Leuthold Group, an investment research firm in Minneapolis, for his sense of the market. An economist, Paulsen is worried about stocks because he is worried about the economy, he said.
