I highly doubt that somebody is going to come and put these companies out of business.

Ben Stone

I think the marketplace dictates what companies have to offer.

Howard Nusbaum

The companies that are getting hurt are the ones like Motorola .

Large pharmaceutical companies have grossly bid up valuations.

Companies' earnings are looking solid, and they are expanding their business activities.

Jim Sutcliffe

You have to wonder why [some companies] didn't hedge, because there was plenty of time along the way when they could have.

Marc Chandler

We cannot allow telecommunications companies to hijack the Internet. After all, the beauty of the Internet is its open architecture.

Jay Inslee

As vulnerable as the Internet is, that is how vulnerable these companies may be.

Scott Kessler

Our strategy is to continue to make the infrastructure available and be ahead of the curve when these companies come.

Their pay doesn't have anything to do with the level of responsibility. And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with how well they run their companies, either.

Why would smaller companies outperform? ... it's difficult to see what the trigger for that could be.

Gareth Williams

Those companies are being run better than they ever have.

Kelly Morgan

What we are being told is it will not be passed on to the consumers, ... But that is up to the insurance companies.

Greg Graham

This has always been a business where they access capital when they need it. Companies find a way.

Steve Burrill

There's no proof that anything these companies did caused Minnesota any damage.

Stephen Schwarzman

For some of the tools we use to get inside the audio, we're dependent on other companies.

Paul Kafasis

We're not trying to get companies out of their responsibility. It's the way of fairness - you pay what you're responsible for.

Bill Fries

It is a very large investment and certain casino companies just cannot afford it.

Sean Monaghan

The 30% requirement is $0.5 billion at best and does not create a problem for large companies.
