CIO and Chairman of T Rowe Price Equity Brian Rogers thinks that the equity market's performance in 2009 was driven not only by earnings but also by the expectation of future earnings. To the extent that earnings in 2010 are strong, they could serve as a platform to propel the market higher. If those earnings don't materialize, stocks will face a significant headwind in the months ahead. He is attempting to identify companies with stable earnings and cash flow compared with the riskier areas of the market that performed extraordinarily well in recent months. This is the portfolio update of his fund, T Rowe Price Equity Income Fund.
