John Apruzzese Quoted in the Wall Street Journal as Dow Passes 11,000

April 12, 2010

Evercore Wealth Management portfolio manager John Apruzzese was quoted on U.S. Stocks in the Wall Street Journal on the day that the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 11000 for the first time since late-September 2008 amid hopes for a strong earnings season and weakness in the dollar.

"Company by company, things seem to be pretty good and improving, but on the macro level there are still big concerns out there," said Apruzzese.

"You still have concerns about government debt, unemployment, and issues with the euro and Greece, even though that seems to be partially resolved," he said.

"We are a little ahead of plan," Maurer said. "We feel confident."
