We can't disclose the names of the investors before it is (officially) announced.

Wang Zhaowen

They definitely had sex appeal and make a good story, but they didn't make any money. When the rubber hits the road, if you're not delivering it is hard to go out and get investors.

John Mccamant

That kind of foreign selling in the past was a disaster. But now, that selling has been bought by local investors.

Young Chang

It tells us the enthusiasm of investors will eventually turn this around.

This made investors cautious and they decided to unload their holdings ahead of the weekend.

Terry Cheung

So far [investors] have been happy to do this but people are questioning whether it will continue.

Paul Donovan

Foreign investors will still get a lot of yield comparatively in the U.S., so we could see them buying.

Linda Jay

Here is an asset that investors have very much given up on.

Richard Greenfield

There has been a lack of liquidity, and this certainly makes more shares available to institutional investors.

Rolf Elgeti

This growth story is attracting a lot of investors and new international airlines are trying to ride the boom in India.

Kapil Kaul

Investors are going to shy away from Peru until they see a clearer electoral outcome. What hurts the markets more than anything is the uncertainty.

Carola Sandy

The name never came up. It's bizarre...Is Shell going to compete with itself, or is this a way of not diluting its interest (with other investors)?

Wilf Gobert

Everything should be paid for by hotel investors. Let them foot the bill.

Jim Brewer

There's a casino gambling mentality among investors today. I think it's a disservice to the efficiency of the capital markets.

We are hopeful that the company will lay out more conservative guidance for 2002 as a means to rebuild credibility with investors.

Holly Becker

Hopes have been dashed. The market had taken off very quickly. This has cooled investors' sentiment.

We're fielding a lot of calls from institutional investors looking to take positions in industrial real estate in Austin.

Andy Thomas

Investors are always nervous when news come out that Asian central banks plan to cut their Treasury holdings.

Should allow investors to better gauge the impact from a potentially lumpy income stream.

Steve Milunovich

Anything higher here could confirm investors' fears that the Fed's interest rate tightening is far from over and is set to continue well into 2006.

Angus Campbell

As the appetite for risk declines, investors are becoming more defensive and more domestically focused.

Bob Sinche

There is, and will continue to be, I believe, an excess of 'dot-com' frenzy, where investors who feel they missed out on the first wave should jump in on the next wave, and so on.

Kate Delhagen

Investors still have an appetite for companies that have a shot at greatness.

Arnold Berman

The currency got a boost due to strong demand from foreign investors. Foreigners were buying up Thai assets and equities.

Kitti Nathisuwan

A lot of investors felt the worst has passed.

Oliver Plana

Clearly investors are not interested in stocks.

Carl Wittnebert

Investors are confident, and there's a reallocation of assets in favor of stocks. Earnings have been better than expected.

Matthieu Giuliani

It shows that foreign investors have increasing trust in Russian companies.

Alexander Zhukov

It's killing a lot of projects. I'm concerned that by the time projects are finished, investors may drop out.

Jim Carlson

There already has been a drift away from U.S. assets by Arab investors. You may well have a further drift.

Given increasing market hopes of a full approval, we believe that this could disappoint investors.

It's an atmosphere that enables fraudsters to take advantage of investors.

Doug Little

Chuck Carlson

Some plans are getting better, but investors really need to be careful and do their homework.

Kerry O'boyle

Yasunari Ueno

This is time for prudence among lenders and investors.

Troy Nickerson

Investors are back to looking at the economy, corporate earnings, and unfortunately the continued saga of corporate shenanigans.

Alan Ackerman

Flows should turn into a positive for the yen because domestic investors won't take funds abroad. It's looking good for the yen.

Benedikt Germanier

Investors are hoping the 15,000 point level will hold. If the index breaks through that level, then the market may have further corrections. If it holds, then this means current market consolidation is a healthy one.

Ben Kwong

Another set of good results concerning GDP could well cause...major headaches to investors.

George Leavey

A longer lockup, especially by executives, is certainly a vote of confidence in the company that investors do pay attention to.

Hal Roberts

At 14,000, I think you have local investors buying into the market.

Marcelo Mesquita

It is not a surprise that somebody else has stepped forward. Investors clearly expected it.

Adam Steinberg

Investors have a hard time doing that.

Guido Mantega

It's difficult to ignore the noise, but investors should stay put.

Joel Bruckenstein

Paul Sarbanes

Managers have really successfully convinced institutional investors that $1 of buyback equals $1 of dividends.

Douglas Eby

Something some potential investors are uncomfortable with.

Susan Jacksack

One-hundred billion is a big number but that's all it is. I don't pay much attention to bragging rights. That's not what investors are concerned about. Investors are concerned with returns.

Gus Sauter

When you have a couple of deals do well, you'll have more investors sit up and take notice.

Paul Bard

That's really impressive, ... This is a core tech long for investors. It's at its all-time high, and it should be.

Masaki Iso

We are optimistic about cooperation between Chinese banks and foreign strategic investors because the banks are committed to reform.

Ryan Tsang

Investors are buying bonds as they realize a policy shift is not so easy when the government opposes it. Expectations for a change were too excessive.

Jun Fukashiro

Any negative news on the corporate front will be taken as an excuse for investors to take their gains.

Renault Kam

What the underwriters do is discount them off the current market [valuation], which entices institutional investors to come in and sop up all the stock.

Paresh Upadhyaya

To the extent that investors focus on a company's book value or balance sheets for their analysis, it will have some impact.

We believe the stock should be a core holding for investors.

Scott Coleman

We are simply exhausted by the endless postponement of financial gratification - and we think other investors are, too.

Henry Blodget

[Investors have raised] honest, legitimate questions ... But we're near or already have hit bottom as an industry . . . we feel pretty good about the future.

Kevin O'hara

It's very quiet. In general institutional investors are not willing to move before the Fed makes its call.

Koji Muneoka

We determined there were sufficient messages coming in that it needed to be brought to investors' attention.

John Gannon

If we see anything above 4.75 percent, approaching 5 percent on the 10-year Treasury, investors should be all over it.

Grace Lin

This quarter, the demand for wireless infrastructure was better than I think most analysts and most investors had expected.

Mark Roberts

With the equity market the way it is and the fixed-income market the way it is, many [investors] find hedge funds attractive.

Jefferson Duarte

Stocks have climbed a bit quickly, considering earnings outlooks. Investors are beginning to lock in some profits.

Olivier Quinty

Our shares have always appealed to individual investors and we expect this step to make our shares more affordable and even more attractive to retail shareholders.

Toshihiko Sakai

The longer we go along this path, the clearer it becomes that the Fed may have to jolt consumers and investors with a more aggressive policy.

Seth Tobias

Pauline Hanson

It's a good day for Level 3 and its investors.

Broadly, soundings with investors indicate a continuing interest and appetite for new products.

Arab investors and local funds are being quite active.

Yasser Hassanein

More and more investors are comfortable with emerging markets.

Jason Kenney

All told, we think that this is a great franchise and its valuation continues to be very compelling for investors.

Gains have been a bit quick. We have to take a pause. Investors' attention is on companies' outlooks.

Emmanuel Soupre

Despite whatever has happened, investors are still in the mood for a bargain.

Elvis Picardo

I think investors are asking why the Fed acted so quickly and so decisively.

Elvis Picardo

The CEO was personally bought off by being given IPO allocations, ... Small investors were left holding the bag.

Ellen Breslow

We think it's time for investors to be cautious about technology stocks.

Edward Jones

There will be little room for bonds to rise ahead of the auction. Some investors may not be in a rush to buy bonds.

Eiji Dohke

This will give us greater flexibility in the future. We are not raising more money, this is about the original investors realizing some of their money.

Ed Atorino

People have to think as worldwide investors now.

Ed Osborn

Pakistan now needs to put Chinese investors at ease. Especially with the cartoon incident, investors need to feel they won't be threatened.

Zhang Li

Investors were rattled by this, but there was really no news that justified a drop of this magnitude.

Eric De Graaf

The message should be to encourage foreign investment and they (investors) will obviously not be encouraged by these moves.

Eric Bloch

Frankly, we believe that this analysis is flawed and somewhat facile. We believe the risks remain acutely material at Bebe and for investors of Bebe.

Eric M. Beder
