Best Guess: Friday Edition

CHERYL: The changes being proposed for broker dealers and investment advisors will have little to no impact on the securities industry because it will be impossible for the SEC or whomever they appoint to oversee it.  Lawsuits will eventually happen but that is years away.

STUART VARNEY: It will be the Summer of the lobbyist.....every industry will want its piece of the federal spending pie, and every industry will be trying to avoid the taxes Washington will be levying....the best administration money can buy!

DUNSTAN PRIAL: In order to get something passed, the Democrats will slap together a bill and call it health care reform. And that will be a shame because the current system is bankrupting families and the country. But I'm not sure any president can marshall the disparate voices and agendas into a consensus that would really affect meaningful reform -- the U.S. health care system just too messy and complicated, and there's too much money at stake.

TOM SULLIVAN: Computer sales are down because people are waiting for Apple and Microsoft to release new operating systems.  Apple will have a strong 3rd quarter due to its release of its operating system, Snow Leopard, in September.  And, Microsoft, Dell, HP, etc., will have a strong 4th quarter with the release of Windows 7 on October 22nd.
