- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (AUGUST 28, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) NEWTON ADVISORS, PRESIDENT, MARK NEWTON, SAYING: "So, seasonality is negative. Sentiment has gotten also a little bit negative. So, from a contrarian viewpoint, that's actually somewhat constructive, and if you look at the very real issues, such as the policy uncertainty and Chinese trade war, or concerns about a slowing economy globally, and those are all causing investors, you know, really a lot of concern for a lot of the right reasons. But that also means that any pullback likely is going to prove subdued, because concern will turn to fear that much more quickly on a sell-off.
