Thoughts on the Market from Merrill Lynch's Michael Hartnett

This just in from Merrill Lynch about the sell-off yesterday. The piece is called "While Athen Burns..." - Head Strategist Michael Hartnett

"Drivers of the sell-off: earnings, interest rates/liquidity and positioning. China
growth fears and European credit contagion & deflation are the key macro drivers."

"Global equities are off over 10% from their April 15th highs. Three reasons why:
earnings, interest rates/liquidity and positioning."

"New lessons
�� The excess liquidity phase of the bull market is coming to an end
�� European deflation a huge risk
�� Market is now differentiating between creditors & debtors; companies with
ambitious funding schedules may be penalized.
�� Companies are safer than countries
�� Best of breed stocks to outperform"
