    " I think we may have put a bottom in..."

    "This could be a good time to buy if you have a long term horizon"

    "Assuming no external market shock, I think the bottom is in"

    "Investors should think long term and average in on this decline"

    "Going forward we are getting constructive on this market."

    "We have been telling our clients to shift to equities."

    "On a fundamental basis the market looks cheap."

    "The S&P 500 should find support on the (20, 50, 120, 150 - take your pick) moving average"
