The reason the dollar is staying strong is because markets have continued to price in more Fed tightening.

Daniel Katzive

We have looked at the price they paid for the deals. Our conclusion is that they are not overpaying.

Gavin Thompson

People who are buying [passes] are asking why the price is more, but once we explain our reasoning they seem to understand. Everyone is being really great about it.

Jake Chanin

If we sell large quantities of U.S. treasuries, it would cause the price to plunge. We're not going to do that.

Ma Delun

The US treasuries are declining in price but our comparative benchmark is not moving so the spread is declining.

Roland Avante

We can do what we can do to make sure people aren't being gouged; that the price is fair and is being determined by demand and not gouging.

John Hamm

The timing (of establishing the gold fund) couldn't be better as the recent gold price surge has caught the attention of investors, both incumbent and potential ones.

Cui Lin

We think it is a fair price for what we see as an attractive asset.

Stephen Allen

He was acutely aware of market value and what he felt was a fair price. He could have bought anything he wanted. He was wealthy enough, but he often passed on things if he felt they were overpriced.

Richard Rand

If someone finds a lower price, we'll match it.

Randy Le

The majority of both women and men (85%) believe that price is the most important factor when selling their businesses. However, women business owners also take into account a broad range of issues focused on the match between the buyer and the company. Women are more concerned than men owners about the future of their businesses and the well-being of employees.

Marjorie Alfus

The Exchange's addition of live quotes to their website has helped with price transparency for the index products.

Fred Rice

When I am happy I feel like crying, but when I am sad I don't feel like laughing. I think it is better to be happy; then you get two feelings for the price of one.

Lily Tomlin

Hey, Dennis, this is Mike! Kick me, please! I'll settle for the price of a set of golf clubs.

Mike Royko

If there's a buyer, somebody's going to be out there selling it. The only thing that can impede [DSL demand] is price and lack of technology.

Frank Dzubek

The market is beginning to discount a price war.

Jordi Padilla

That's a good price for a well-known house like Pilgrim, ... You could really get that company going again.

Alexander Paris

When you get into that kind of studio money, there's a price on everything. And I haven't been willing to pay that price.

Lili Taylor

As you can see, Christmas is spread out -- not just among December but among January as well. Promotions certainly helped to drive those sales and you can see what the consumer is looking for. It all depend on price.

Dana L. Telsey

Clark is shooting the ball extremely well the last couple of weeks. With him doing that, it'll draw the other big man out on him and that's opening things up a little more for (Price) inside.

Greg Waits

This is a fair price that we have agreed, but there is always a danger that someone else will come in with a bid.

Peter George

The accumulation of price increases has increased risks of second-round effects.

Axel Weber

Early, we got caught up in the emotion. Then, they got on a roll. This was a great basketball game. If I had paid to get into this game, it would have been worth double the price of admission.

Travis Hannah

We had expected a sale price of $200 million in our previous target. The $900 million price even exceeds what we believed to be the high-end of any sale range.

Celeste Brown

You cannot do hazing. If you're stupid enough to do hazing now ... you'll pay the price.

Don Cherry

Software companies all want to be able to offer more product and more value for the same price.

Richard Petersen

If you're a small business, maybe you can't compete on size or price but you have to compete on customer service.

Chris Denove

Contacts must be closer between the Ministry of Industry and Energy and oil companies to fix [fuel] price growth at 11%, as projected.

German Gref

Before they could complete a sale to another private company, or even to other investors, the village of Homer Glen would be given the opportunity to buy it for that same price.

Dwight Johnson

The hybrid has a price premium already. You're really making the walk from a conventional to a hybrid just untenable if you don't have any support on it.

Dan Bedore

The gold price at these levels still helps the rand immensely. It's still pretty good going for the rand.

Ion De Vleeschauwer

Evaluating the data available, the average house price is still increasing at a rate similar to most of 2004 and 2005.

Anthony Byett

A global scramble for the asset is now unfolding, as the fund-driven price action is snowballing and attracting investors from all walks of life.

Jon Nadler

At a right price, Ricketts would look to sell but that right price is closer to $20.

Jim Marks

I mean, right now, the price of gas is double what it was last year. That's pretty scary.

Terry Tucker

They don't want to go too heavy because if it does pullback then they're paying the higher price so hedging is a two-edged sword in that respect.

Paul Trainor

Small-business owners are price takers. They're too small to be able to negotiate prices with vendors.

Keitaro Matsuda

Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.

Vince Lombardi

Business is pretty good even with the price of gas going up. I can remember when I used to charge driving all over the city for 25 cents.

Bob Eckert

Price caps are not a solution to a dysfunctional market. However, they are a damage control measure until solutions are developed.

Joseph Dunn

All of us as consumers have gotten spoiled, ... We expect customized goods and services at commodity prices. The only way we can do that is to cut the fat out of our price structure.

Robert Rubin

I think that the management there feels that the stock price is well below where it should be, and I agree with them.

Jason Klein

Oracle won't pay too much. It's only going to buy as long as the price is right.

John Difucci

We don't have mountains and aquariums and polished wood flooring. But, we do offer a great assortment of products and we'll match anyone's price in this market, including Cabela's.

Shannon Burns

There are nearly 300 million PC users out there now, and so that gives us a very, very broad market. So we can put far more, you know, ten times more into R&D of the operating system, yet make it available for one-tenth or less the price.

Jeff Raikes

There are parts of the country, particularly the two coasts, where the price of housing has so outstripped any income gains that moderate wage earners find it difficult to find a decent home in the community where they work.

Nicolas Retsinas

There's no question [the resolution of the strike] came with a price. But it allows us to maintain economic viability.

Susan Rosenberg

A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance.

Anatole France

It's the price you have to pay to live in a global village. You have to share the rewards.

Albert Pang

Earnings are beginning to come in very well, better than expected. Stocks should also find support in the falling oil price.

Lex Bouwmeester

Officer Price is very fortunate that his injuries were not more serious.

Keith Henderson

If the rate of decline in the percentage of negotiated or spot market hogs returns to the pre-2004/2005 rate, it will increase the urgency for the industry to find another form of price discovery for most of the contracts.

Glenn Grimes

I've had vendors try to assess me with a handling charge to offset the price of gas, which is illegal. But the vendors are getting creative in finding ways to write these costs off, so you really have to [scrutinize] the bills.

Fred Russell

It's not important for Dell, but it's a viable market for some. There's clearly a demand at that price point.

Louis Mazzucchelli

The two things which initially the market was looking at are pretty unchanged -- the two things that have been moving the market all year. One is the oil price and the other thing which has made the market frothy of late is the continued mergers and acquisitions speculation.

Richard Hunter

Buy local, grow your own food because there is little we can do to change the price of oil.

Paul Quesnel

We are not going to plunge to $500 or $400. The market is going to stay within a price range of $540 and $650.

Peter Hillyard

The deterioration we did see was in energy prices; if you take out energy prices, things improved a bit. The bad news is that September import price data guarantees that we'll have a widening deficit in September.

Kevin Harris

We ... look for ways we can save because that's always going to be a large cost for us, ... We've seen a 60 percent increase in jet fuel price since January.

Susan Rosenberg

The big hurdle we have is just to get the education out there?get people exposed to the pen computing experience for the first time?and once that happens people get it immediately. If you have the right price at the right time interesting things happen.

William Diehl

We are now paying the price. This should not be seen as a racial argument, but as a simple truth of management.

Pieter Mulder

We're one of the only retail businesses where the price is preprinted. You can't raise prices because the price is on the book, and you certainly can't raise it when the other guy is discounting it.

Hut Landon

The car bomb news pushed the price up again. The market is very nervous.

Kevin Blemkin

I'm excited about our pitching. The difference between this club and last year's club is that we have a chance to be OK on the mound. With Cooper and Price back, the addition of those other six has really strengthened our staff.

Bill Kinneberg

The contract they sent over called for a 76 percent price increase.

Mark Cicero

What we've seen over the past month is nothing short of price gouging.

Hugh Mackenzie

Any price is negotiable. We've had the listing about a year, which is not a long time in the big boat department. Somebody will buy it because they love it, they want to preserve it, and they can make enough money to do that.

Gerry Hull

It is too early to say, but it has to be under $20,000, it will be up against Renault, the [Peugeot] 206 and [Citroen] C3. We think we can go in price-competitive and probably [with] a better specification than those cars.

Neville Crichton

It brings outside monies to your properties. Whether it's a direct influence to your house, or that your neighbor ten blocks down got that price.

Hickory Delegal

Moore's Law says that every 18 months, customers can buy the same processor for half the price, or twice the power in a processor for the same price.

Donald Luskin

Spot prices for iron ore are certainly above the delivered price for Australian iron ore into China.

Chip Goodyear

I certainly think this sale is a positive. For a food service business, it's a great price and probably better than investors were planning on.

Andrew Lazar

Demand for PCs is weak and microprocessor prices are becoming more aggressive, ... To stimulate PC demand and improve Intel's long-term competitive position, we believe the company's Pentium 4 price cuts will become more aggressive.

Mark Edelstone

We are in trouble. The program is not designed to deal with these kinds of price increases.

Mark Wolfe

There's actually been very little buzz on this one. With the other deals, the bankers were leaking information out on seemingly a daily basis to drive up the price. With this, nothing.

William Leach

One of the most frustrating things serving on that committee that I have observed is the American public doesn't understand the need for infrastructure, and they're not willing to pay the price.

Vernon Ehlers

What happened in Melbourne this week was pretty unacceptable and they're obviously softening us up for an even higher price next week.

David Cumming

The California housing market continues to experience year-over-year double-digit price appreciation, which is consistent with our expectation that the statewide median for 2005 will increase by 16 percent over last year.

Vince Malta

It is important we realize everyone pays the price. Fraudulent and erroneous claims rob our Medicare fund and often cheat people out of services they deserve to receive.

Jerry Mitchell

Six months later, when it becomes the generic company Wild West show, the price tends to drop to about 20 percent of the [branded] price.

Casey Alexander

It will mirror the brands we have in the stores for our adult customer. It's really lifestyle-broad and broad in price point, as well.

Caryn Lerner

What's important is the stable level, not so much the good price level - that both producers and consumers can benefit from.

Rafidah Aziz

People dare not price in the surpluses they see.

Deborah White

We're convinced that having a great experience on the handsets not only helps us sell more handsets but also enables us to command a higher average selling price.

Scott Durchslag

This is an opportunity that you can't put a price tag to.

Richard Ahlquist

Just about every apartment complex in the north part of town is being converted. The price is so much better than a single-family residence.

Caroline Auza

I don't deny that there's going to be something in the way of small price increases. I just see it as being a relatively small negative effect that is overridden by the positive effect of a higher living standard.

Robert Pollin

The main reason for the slowdown in February inflation is weaker food price rises.

Song Guoqing

That would lead to more bullish analyst reports on the companies, which would help the stock price. We wouldn't change our estimates on the company, but we'd say in the reports the official expectation was conservative.

Stephen Mcclellan

These let you design your own dress based on this season's latest fashion trends for half the price of department stores.

Heidi Zimmerman

The market is limited because the price is so high.

Schelley Olhava

I would not want to see them sell at this price, ... I would want to see them get the company turned around then look at if you want to go private.

Alexander Paris

Perhaps, maybe we've seen the low point for this cycle. But I don't really anticipate a price jump. I think the impact may be just a nickel or a dime over the next few weeks.

Chuck Mai

There's a trend across the country to not put out a price list and allow the buyers to determine what the value is.

Tom Jenkins

Price growth is on a softening trend and we continue to believe that the outlook for the housing market over the medium term is one of flat to falling prices.

George Buckley

Eurodollar futures could price in a peak fed funds rate in excess of 4.5 percent, and that would certainly be bullish for the dollar.

Monica Fan

We believe that Oracle shares, which closed Monday below $15, have limited downside and may move to near the $20 level over the next 12 to 18 months on a modestly improved earnings outlook and expanded [price-to-earnings] multiple, perhaps to the 38 to 40 range.

Chris Shilakes

There is a real interest and appetite for Katie Price.

Random House

I don't think there's any price that you could put on a life, ... But I think the price needs to be steep enough for the officers that are trigger-happy to become a financial liability for the city.

Charles Barron

I don't believe there is a housing bubble bursting. I think there will be an evening off of demand and an evening off of price escalation. We won't see the big rises we've enjoyed in recent years. But that doesn't mean there will be a downturn.

Bruce Karatz

Investors may stay cautious about buying bonds before the consumer price report and the central bank's forecast.

Hiroaki Takai

Everybody's known about this for ages. They put (the overall company) up for sale and there were no takers at the price they wanted. For this to happen the way it happened, it is pretty obvious.

Frank Dzubeck

Abiding by the rules is the price of admission to be an economic power in the world today.

James Mendenhall

Primarily, we suspect this is an oil price-induced global downturn that is hitting export growth. Secondly, there has been some evidence of demand cooling in China.

Chris Williamson

The market is taking any minor shred of optimistic evidence and putting it into the price. People are worried that they are going to miss out on the bottom.

Jeremy Siegel

The price is based on what the market will bear.

James Hamilton

We didn't get the Christmas present of a drop in the oil price.

David Darst

The price has to be right -- anything above $499 really doesn't sell.

Diana Hwang

I am very impressed with the company's commitment to building a strong brand. I think all too many brands, especially in the food industry, have focused on price incentives at the expense of branding. It is refreshing to see Emerald invest for the long run.

Tim Calkins

I will definitely be interested if they're available at a price that makes sense. I will be a bidder, and I will figure out how to run them and take the pre-emption. I have room to do things like that.

Don Carmichael

Sugar is going ballistic because of the oil price. As oil prices go higher and higher, the only real alternative at present to gasoline is ethanol.

Sam Tilley

We recommend keeping your cars well maintained, checking air pressure in your tires and combining errands into one trip to save gas. If everyone did that, the conservation efforts would make a huge difference on the price factor.

Randy Bly

This is one of the biggest Derby gambles we have seen in years and punters were falling over themselves to back him at any price.

Simon Clare

As a paperback house, you try to reinvent the book because at a lower price, you have a different audience so you are bound to find new ways to get the book into audience hands.

Tanya Farrell

It all starts with the price of the land. Show me another market that is selling land for $700,000 an acre that's not looking at the ocean. We don't have enough, and it's priced too high.

Dennis Smith

The game was over, it was going to be a commodity product. And here, even in sort of this extremely price-competitive environment, they managed to improve their gross margin.

Daniel Kunstler

Recent price action suggests the dollar-yuan is more loosely following the dollar.

Adrian Foster

You don't have to own a full position immediately. You don't have to chase them or buy them at any price, ... Step back and have some perspective.

Stephen Barnes

Home business owners should look at what the are covered for already and talk with their insurance agent to what policy is best for them, at the best price.

Loretta Worters

Substantial price increases this winter.

Guy Caruso

In Japan, for example, the debt deflation started in 1990 and price deflation started in 1992 or 1993. That's what we're in for right now.

Lacy Hunt

There has been sustained support for this novice all day, and if the money continues to come, Natal could well be a single figure price by Saturday.

David Stevens

Our objective is to deepen and expand the market, reduce (price) instability, and boost transparency and efficiency.

Darmin Nasution

People are willing to pay a certain price . . . but for many people, it's too rich for their blood. So even if it turns out well, they're still going to see it as a mistake.

John Mueller

Your company should pay a wicked price for this. I will do my best to see that it does.

Jack Thompson

You have a real asset-price bubble in places like parts of California and the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

Charles Munger

Work is the price which is paid for reputation.

Baltasar Gracian

You get the tax credit based on the purchase price of the product and the installation and it's up to 10 percent of that cost to a max of $500 will be returned to you by Uncle Sam.

Kateri Callahan

Some people may get in to the building without the proper passes and things, but I think that's the price you pay for being an open place for people to come.

Margo Macdonald

To our mind, both the price and the requirement for the work class vehicle are somewhat overblown.

Phil Nuytten

We condone the offense doing its thing. It's more chances for us to make plays. It's a little tiring physically. That's the price you have to pay. I think we're fine conditioning-wise.

Sedrick Ellis

The price [of silver] may move higher in anticipation of the launch, but once it hits the markets, initially the price may retreat after strong gains.

Peter Spina

To keep the peso stable they are channeling money into the economy. The price they will pay is inflation eroding the value of salaries and discouraging investment in the country.

Henry Stipp

We can't compete on price because our rents are higher and we don't have the same volume.

Laurie Bauer

Reconditioned models are like borrowing your neighbor's pressure washer, but instead, you pay a discounted price to keep it.

Jon Hoch

This is likely to lead to a lower-than-expected average selling price for Intel's overall MPU (microprocessor) portfolio.

Mark Edelstone

The expected NAND price decline for the first quarter as a whole will be slightly greater than the 15% decline we had expected initially.

Chu Woosik

We figured that this was a company with 85% of its stock price coming from its net cash, ... So we were able to buy Apple's manufacturing and design operation basically for next to nothing.

David Decker

It's a game. I try to find the lowest price in town. It's all I can do.

Curtis Fireman

It bothers me that the price went up.

Greg Kuhn

I would advise the government to control the abrupt increase in dollar price to help sustain our investment.

Fazlul Haque

American will have a tough time in 2006, it all depends where the price of oil goes.

Vaughn Cordle

There is no price that anybody can put on the love of a parent or a mother in the future, regardless of the character of that particular person.

Bob Horn

The interest rate markets have moved to swiftly price in one last act of enlightened risk management from Greenspan in the form of a tightening pause.

Michael Wallace

The price of natural gas is through the roof.

Johnnie Burton

We are pleased to report another increase in our stock price. This is great news for our associates.

Shannon Patten

Warner-Lambert is trying to maximize the price paid for the company. They think that they are entitled to a higher price, and this facilitates that.

Len Yaffe

At that time, we also recognized that we'd feel price pressure in PCs and hard-disk drives. And our expectations here were right on track as well.

John Joyce

It would paralyze an already cash-strapped industry. Ultimately, it would probably make the price of gasoline go up.

Bill Fleischli

I think the natural share price is between $3.70 and $3.80.

Paul Budde

Without Annette, we wouldn't be as good as we are today, which is pretty good. A small company like she is, we relate to them. What is valuable about Annette is that you get the expertise of a large company for the price of a local firm.

Bill Dana

Everyone keeps thinking there is a (price) ceiling...There is no ceiling.

Matthew Simmons

My take is that J&J would still like to do the deal but that Guidant is unwilling to negotiate the price enough so that J&J is satisfied.

Patrick Kaser

Obviously, the so-called 'Chinese factor' is not the main driving force behind the soaring global oil price.

Niu Li

It seems like he has stakes in a lot of companies. Sometimes he's very active. Sometimes he's passive. Federal Mogul is a company he's been putting money into, and it hasn't helped the stock price.

Nicholas Lobaccaro

Companies like Nokia and Motorola are building a lot more feature rich phones and it's the increase in components costs that's starting to hurt them. They're adding more chips per phone but are not getting corresponding price increases in the phones.

Casey Ryan

Because of security issues, the hospital is prohibited from using broadband. Fiber-optics are probably the best option, but not everyone has it and it is very expensive -- just out of our price range at this point.

Jennifer Laster

That is not to say that long government bonds won't go up in price if the 'system' suffers some elimination, slower growth, or to be frank, a recession in 2006.

Bill Gross

They have painted themselves into a corner. They have articulated a position and set a price that is well below $72, so it is going to be tough.

Bruce Nudell

I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.

Mark Twain

If there's a chance to get this price down to $60, it's some pretty good news. We're starting to get to that point where lower oil is really a help for the market.

Bob Basel

It's the best way to get the best price.

Dale Miller

The upward momentum has gone from these stocks. They are just hanging there waiting for a correction. This is an indication that these commodity price corrections do and can come very quickly and they do feed through to the stocks.

Chris Tinker

There might be a lot of stations with expensive gas in the tanks, and they might not be terribly inclined to lower the price until later in the week.

Jack Suyderhoud

There's a little apprehension here about the price of crude oil and how that's going to affect us. Even though we're off a bit, it's still $74 oil. I think that's a negative factor in the market though gasoline is really the issue.

Frank Lesh

The Israeli people should know they will pay the price and our blood is not cheap.

Sheikh Ahmad

Even AT&T Wireless may not be able to price in this environment, ... Even though they are AT&T, there's no guarantee that their syndicate guys will be able to put the deal away.

Charles Kaplan

It is critical that businesses start looking beyond just the price of the hardware and recognize that they also need to invest in protecting the data stored on these machines.

Lindsey Armstrong

We expect the current gap between Lycos' closing price and the $97.55 [a share] acquisition [price] to tighten and see few catalysts until the deal closes.

Arthur Newman

[The stock price decrease] isn't pretty, but it had to be expected, ... I'm just wondering why they are going through so much trouble to acquire mediocre assets.

Philip Wohl

We just liked the place. It turned out the guy was selling it for the amount of his mortgage. He had moved to Arizona and just wanted to get rid of it. So we bought it, for a very low price. At that time, it was a buyers market.

Mark Perakh

If broadband access is available everywhere at a low price, or for free, it means more money for the company through greater interest among advertisers.

Jonathan Gaw

Most people just accept hurricanes as part of the price of living in Florida, along with heat, humidity, mosquitoes and alligators. Some people will certainly move away, but they will be replaced by others moving in.

Stanley Smith

The rally we've seen in the rand has come squarely on the back of the rally we saw in the gold price.

Tania Kotsos

ECONOMY, n. Purchasing the barrel of whiskey that you do not need for the price of the cow that you cannot afford.

Ambrose Bierce

I can get salt somewhere else. There are different companies. I have it placed and I can get it. So I'm not really concerned about their shortfall. It will be the same price as what we are paying through the COG bid.

Leo Mitkoski

Potential political pressures must be resisted, ... The best contribution the ECB can make to the economic and social wellbeing of the euro area is to maintain price stability.

Otmar Issing

Uncertainties over the situation in Iran have led us to dust off our $70 per barrel oil price scenario.

Brian Coulton

To be able to get this kind of property, adjacent to you, is rare. You could not come close to construct a building at that price.

Bill Wiseheart

When we first looked at fully guaranteed services, we looked at the price and said 'no way,' ... Fortunately, all of these companies were eager to negotiate a better price.

Tim Stevens

Obviously with a higher gold price lower grade gold dumps become more viable (to recycle).

Ilja Graulich

For a lot of low-income people, a bike is their only transportation, especially with the price of gas these days. This would be a lot of money for them. Sometimes people are wearing a helmet, and they get hurt anyway.

Brandon Jones

The current price of Dana's bonds reflects the demand from the credit derivatives market for settlement.

David Feinman

If you're living on the edge, then when the price of gas and heating oil goes up, you end up over the edge.

Bill Cheney

A price of $2 is not impossible, ... I hope not, but it's within the realms of what credible people are forecasting.

John Mcdermott

They're certainly not achieving their cost of capital, although they are moving in the right direction. At the end of the day, they are very much price takers in a number of their core businesses.

John Cairns

The very core of the energy price reforms, apart from ensuring domestic fuel supply, is energy conservation.

Niu Li

The price of wisdom is above-rubies.

Bible

The market was very comfortable with the minimum price.

Andre Dreicon

There is a lot of business and balance sheet restructuring to be done that would benefit from being away from the public eye but, once complete, the price is a compact, good quality, highly cash generative company.

Nigel Parson

When the price of the building is going up faster than you can raise the money, it is a little discouraging sometimes. The construction inflation has just been incredible.

Don Anderson

Given the recent run-up in DirecTV's share price, this news was not completely unexpected.

Kathy Styponias

There's a lot that could bring down the price of oil, but not likely in the second quarter.

Thomas Hartmann

Since Katrina, instead of going up $5,000 or $10,000 every week or two, we have been limited to no price increases or very limited price increases.

Robert Toll

We're beginning to see price declines in most eastern markets in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Alexis Mcgee

For the last couple of years, there have been relatively few technology changes. It's just been a matter of getting older technologies down to ever lower price points.

Lawrence Gasman

We think as we continue to execute on our 2006 plan that it will reflect itself in our share price.

Doug Foshee

Any area where institutions are not involved is great for individuals. When the institutions aren't involved, the price is less conditioned on market movements and more based on the company's fundamentals.

Harry Eisenberg

These various systems to help maintain market integrity and protect investors. This creates audit-trail information, greater information and better price discovery.

Scott Peterson

I think that's a really high retail price. Personally, I wouldn't pay that for that diamond.

Catherine Lee
