There are always opportunities through which businessmen can profit handsomely if they will only recognize and seize them.
J. Paul Getty
I don't know how this particular deal is structured. But the network isn't the owner of the show, it's the buyer. NBC doesn't profit from 'Friends' reruns in syndication.
Scott Hettrick
Despite the rise, there was consolidation and profit-taking after an eight-day surge.
Kenny Tang
The ethics of Truth always returns, in precise circumstances, to fighting for the True against the four fundamentals forms of Evil: obscurantism, commercial academicism, the politics of profit and inequality, and sexual barbarism.
Alain Badiou
What we're going to try to do heading forward is to match profit expectations that are out there ... not to exceed them, ... to invest that money back into, hopefully, accelerated growth.
Charles Brewer
We'd have to make sure it was compensation for costs and that it did not provide a profit for the organs.
Belinda Wright
We've had tremendous moves -- and after you have explosive moves, it's not unusual for markets to pull back on profit taking.
Bernadette Murphy
Avalon turned a profit in the first year. This is something rare in the hobby industry.
Chris Mappin
I think it's just much-needed profit-taking after a huge run-up and, fundamentally, nothing has really changed. There is nothing to suggest that commodity (prices) are now going to pull back 20 percent.
Robert Lauzon
We have made a good start to the year and we can maintain our full year guidance of 6 percent organic operating profit growth despite absorbing an increase in the cost of executing additional productivity initiatives in the second half.
Paul Walsh
They profit from homophobia. They are using anti-gay rhetoric to line their own pockets. They are the modern-day snake oil salesmen.
Jason Cianciotto
Profit forecasts for Europe are still far too high.
Jamie Sandison
It's a very difficult position to be in personally. It's uncomfortable to be opposing a non-profit organization that is doing restoration projects.
Lennie Roberts
The market was really thin throughout the afternoon, with a continuation of profit-taking from yesterday, but then U.S. markets came back and capital flowed in.
Francisco Andrade
Profit is better than expected.
Deven Choksey
Exxon Mobil reported record profit and people expect the same thing for oil producers' 2005 profit.
Francis Lun
The profit margin index is well above the 50%-level, indicating that, for most firms, profit margins are higher than one year ago, when margins were showing improvement from their depressed levels throughout 2001-2002.
Donald A. Norman
They charge for proper disposal and (if) they don't do it they are profiting off a crime.
Lawrence Lau
The above strategies have helped to improve the gross profit of the group and helped to maintain average selling prices of products, further consolidating the group's leading position in the market.
Yang Yuanqing
We're seeing shrinking builder profit margins, and more and more incentives being offered to attract buyers. That's an indication of a shift to a buyers' market.
Alexis Mcgee
Hockey can be a real tough business with the slimmest of profit margins, obviously.
Jeff Phillips
The markets can't go up every day. Profit taking is one of the features of trading.
Andrew Lebow
The individual who she believed to be a family friend, and doing a favor for, turned out to be a state trooper. This was not for profit.
Sean Cullen
To be competitive, in the resort and hospitality industry, the spa has become a necessity. It used to be considered a loss leader, but now it's a profit center for hotels .
Susie Ellis
Europe is our second-largest beverages market and has demonstrated strong profit growth over the last few years.
John Sunderland
[The profit was] at the bottom of forecasts, they confirmed some production delays, and I think the market just doesn't like oils at the moment, ... Generally though, things are ticking along quite nicely for them.
Peter Hitchens
The mining sector has been weighing on the index though it's about time they had a bit of profit taking.
Angus Campbell
Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.
W. Edwards Deming
In not-for-profit performance evaluation where profit and loss measurements aren't obvious, this has been a breakthrough tool for us.
Clarence White
There's been a lot of selling and profit taking — across all asset classes, actually. Oil is weaker, gold, silver, platinum and palladium are weaker, and base metals are weaker. It's just fed on itself.
Bernard Hunter
It's not about making a profit. [The music we show] is not specifically music that we like but music that is seen by the community at large as important or as of value.
Spencer Longo
When I see the move of RFID into universities, it concerns me, ... It is sending a message that not only do we not have to worry about privacy but you can profit from it by a career perspective.
Katherine Albrecht
We're looking to make a nice profit tapping into this market, but checking is an old payment method. You can't afford to ignore it, but I wouldn't plan my business around it for the next five years.
Tim Stevens
Profit was the motive, with sales goals as high as $20,000 a day. The dealers took aggressive steps to protect their lucrative enterprise.
Tom Corbett
They didn't pay any more than it cost us. It's my church. I'm not going to make a profit off them.
Ben Kugler
You learn about economics and mass produce little things to make a profit.
Andrew Shields
Investors were disappointed because they were expecting around 5 billion riyals of profit in the fourth quarter. They then decided that the drop was too steep.
Hesham Abojamee
[The shareholders will profit from Whirlpool's purchase, but] the people who built this company ... don't get anything out of this, ... That's not right.
Tom Vilsack
AOL might think about it [providing Internet access] as a profit center. That's not how we think about it.
Brad Chase
We had a 25-year high settlement price and that encouraged some profit-taking.
Billy Flahive
We are certainly keeping our profit target intact and have in fact raised it slightly.
Martin Leach
We're underweight oil stocks. We've seen the best from the profit side.
Stefan Duchateau
There's no doubt he's making a profit.
James Miller
Making money or making a profit is not part of our agenda. The payback is through the learning and experiential activities that our students participate in.
George Toups
There's nothing wrong with an old economy stock as long as you buy it cheap enough, and there's nothing wrong with a new economy stock as long as you buy it cheap enough. Profit is profit.
Rob Friedman
There's no profit associated with it (for the company).
Michael Yackira
Our clients at Christian Brothers Investment Services don't want to profit from certain things and we want to see things change in corporate America.
Julie Tanner
The results were in line. The chemicals cycle is humming right now. The high dividend is not surprising, seeing the growth in profit.
Silke Stegemann
The profit rise was within expectations as the lender experienced solid growth based on good asset quality.
Qiu Zhicheng
It's never been a profit-and-loss business. It's done by raising as much money as it can and by getting more drugs through the pipeline.
Steve Burrill
The profit recession is here and people are still uncertain as to when things are going to come back. There's still a lot of nervousness.
Francis Gannon
We must realize that companies such as Caterpillar are profiting from oppression.
Chris Towne
It looks like profit taking more than anything else. The Nasdaq has had a nice five-day run.
Brian Piskorowski
Even though they'll be value priced, they'll still carry hefty profit margins. They'll have better fuel economy and should do well. The market will be smaller, but it's still a big market.
Joe Phillippi
Over the last couple of days we've tried to break past C$1.1650 (85.83 U.S. cents) and we really haven't been able to do it, and I think what we're starting to see now is some profit-taking, not only on dollar/Canada positions, but on cross positions.
George Davis
The profit outlook is especially good for makers of electronic components. Sales will rise by at least 5 percent, and that will probably lead to profit gains of at least 10 percent.
Atsushi Osa
Obviously, (theft) affects profit margins.
Rob Wacker
We were very encouraged to see profit up at AOL, even though revenue was down.
Peter Jankovskis
There is no difficulty with that concept, but not all companies have received the same level of profit.
David Lowe
Profit is not my motivation.
Susan Peed
Someone ought to be able to make a profit. If you ask Compaq, they'll tell you they're doing well in the consumer market. Compaq is getting whacked at the low-end corporate market.
Louis Mazzucchelli
Honor before profit; where practical.
Gerald Barzan
The fourth quarter and 2005 results are in line with our plan. We are excited with the opportunities for our company and we are focused on the execution of the actions that will deliver our revenue and profit plan for 2006 and coming years.
Marc Bertrand
The cable companies are concerned about their profit margins.
Chris Carroll
These figures must mean that profit expectations are going to go up for this year. It has really gained a huge amount of market share. This is real sales growth.
Richard Perks
We are still negotiating with the shipping lines, especially those listed overseas. The hurdle in reaching a deal is because these lines feel their profit will decline.
Aburizal Bakrie
There is no philosophy which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician.
Daniel Bernoulli
The highest (profit) margin business is the intellectual property business. I think there's a trend of (companies) still being involved in parks, but on a licensing basis.
James Zoltak
If you count all your assets, you always show a profit.
Robert Quillen
There's a lot of headroom to go further -- a lot of efficiencies that can still be created. There will be some barriers, but as long as the corporate mandate is to increase profit and reduce cost, the only two solutions are automation and outsourcing -- companies in either one of those [industries] will do well.
Trip Chowdry
Its profit missing estimates is just an excuse to take profit.
Barro Liao
There is nothing the body suffers which the soul may not profit by.
George Meredith
Our sales and profit should grow due to higher subscribers this year.
Sigve Brekke
We have seen good interest from funds, along with some bouts of profit-taking. But whenever we see that, new customers are stepping in.
David Holmes
There's a little bit of profit taking. I think support should be around $10.28 to $10.30, and resistance will be around last night's high.
Ronald Leung
Although short-run swings in firms' energy costs might be absorbed in their profit margins, a persistent increase is likely to be fully passed on to the consumer.
Roger Ferguson
There is only so much profit growth that cost-cutting can deliver, and the market now needs to see top-line growth.
Alan Zlatar
It's an attempt to protect the little guy from himself. H&R Block is helping people become first-time savers and not really profiting from it, at least to this point. Yes, there are fees, but there are also costs associated.
Alexander Paris Jr
No one should be able to peddle your private information for a profit without your express permission. Giving out this information to anyone who can pay the fee is a license to arm stalkers, criminals and identity thieves.
Bob Gammage
This is impersonation. These companies are engaged in an illegal activity. They're profiting from it, and they need to be prosecuted.
Joe Farren
The Hong Kong market will be resilient, although profit-taking will continue on the Chinese equities.
Mandy Chan
Entrepreneurial profit is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
The big qualifier on that is that a lot of the price action we've seen in equity markets and earnings expectations are due to that energy price move and higher profit expectations among oil & gas firms.
Alex Scott
This organization embraced the American corporate ideal and would sell any drug that would turn a profit.
Tom Pickard
The real question is whether companies will squeeze their (profit) margins as costs increase or if they are going to increase prices. I think they will increase prices.
Michael Metz
I'm making enough for the prosthetics and making a statement about the medical establishment, ... ... Yeah, I'm trying to make a little profit too.
Paul Morgan
The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.
William Bolitho
It's been a good period for them with a continuation of steady growth in revenue and operating profit.
Rob Mercer
We went up a long way quickly. This is some healthy profit-taking in what I would suggest is still very much an ongoing bull market in hard assets -- oil, gas and base and precious minerals. A healthy correction is a healthy thing.
Peter Chandler
We still believe that the recession will persist through the winter, mainly because major job loss looms ahead in order to restore profit margins.
Bruce Steinberg
I think profit-taking may be part of the issue here.
Joseph Nadol
The issue of smoking bans and taxes have been around for a while and now the company is confirming its impact on profit.
John Grace
We'll then show how this will result in what's most important to the dealer and that's more gross profit.
Marc Smith
When you look at a plate of food it has to be equally appealing to the ownership as to the customer, ... You want a great product, but you can't compromise the profit.
Jorge Ramos
It has hurt the organization that he didn't stay there, ... but Habitat the corporation decided that it was just too dicey even if there wasn't enough in the allegations to substantiate them. Also, I think Millard and Linda Fuller, the entrepreneurs didn't feel warm and fuzzy about the move to a corporate approach to a not-for-profit entity.
John Wieland
The fourth quarter profit was below estimates, my estimate was €590m or 44 cents per share.
Carlo Ponfoort
The profit margins in the analog area hold up much better than some chip companies that are more cyclical.
Sunil Reddy
We very much believe that laws are being broken and people are profiting from it. Without prosecution there will continue to be this fraud and subscribers and wireless companies will continue to be the victims.
Joe Farren
We expect to do a large retail business with the Planet Hollywood brand on everything. We have a new logo and fresh ideas and expect there will be synergies with the hotel-casino to turn the retail into more of a profit center than most casinos enjoy.
Robert Earl
It's just profit-taking, the market needed to correct.
Tony Nunan
Sometimes in the rush to farm more acreage, growers don't take a close look at their potential for profit. Farm operators need to do a good job of analyzing their potential returns before making an offer.
Kent Thiesse
We have moved to expectations of a loss of 100 million euros for the fourth quarter of this year from Chrysler, whereas we had previously been expecting a small profit.
Stephen Reitman
Like starting a non-profit, being a chess champion, or football champion. Something they had passion for and excelled at.
Stacy Sullivan
There's been a lot of fund and local trader selling here after we hit $69 ... there's major profit-taking from the big funds and locals.
Scott Meyers
There was some profit-taking today, which is natural after the rises we've seen.
Carlos Hokama
So long as there is a chance that a customer will call you with a problem, you don't really know what the profit is on that particular machine.
Paul Nunes
We have a good short-term bounce here, but until we retest the 12,080 mark, we may see a bit of profit-taking coming in again because of the nervousness on the market.
Joe Ismail
This illustrates why workers are insulted by their take-away contract. Our members generated that profit he's being rewarded for.
Connie Kelliher
A great deal of this success can be credited to the unprecedented cooperation of public, private, and non-profit partnerships in dealing with these issues.
Jeff Becker
The town cannot put itself in fiscal jeopardy so the developer can make a profit.
Jeff Becker
Private companies only invest where they can make a profit, not where there is the greatest need.
Peter Hardstaff
There's a lot of people making lots of profit today, but it's not the school children of Alabama.
Paul Hubbert
The company has moved a lot of its production abroad and that should help it increase future profit margins and keep its growth targets.
Patrizio Pazzaglia
The thing that bothers me is that companies claim to be patriotic. Then they turn around and make a profit on the war.
Jim Goodnow
They run papers with a great reputation for quality like the Sacramento Bee, and make a 30 percent profit doing it.
Hugh Martin
Sales of gas-inefficient large SUVs are in a state of near-collapse this month, ... It seems likely that the shift in the sales mix away from large SUVs will persist and continue to damage Detroit's profit margins in the process.
David Healy
The net effect over 10 years is probably closer to $40 billion in extra profit.
Stephen Schondelmeyer
This has never worked in history -- getting rid of incentives by cutting dealer profit margins, I don't want to be too negative. It is one of the few things [GM] can do to try to create some excitement.
George Hoffer
The profit growth in the first half demonstrates that our strategy is delivering strongly.
John Varley
This is capitalism, even when it's not for profit.
Robert Jones
The business for investment banks has been performing very well on most sides, and I want to hear what they to say on future profit.
Juergen Lukasser
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe... Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
H. L. Mencken
Funds are choosing to lock in their profits after decent gains recently and more profit-taking will likely occur in coming sessions.
Chen Huiqin
Some universities run their billing internally and are able to charge, say, $6 per month while paying CDIGX only $3.49. It was possible for UMKC to make a profit in this way. We chose direct billing through CDIGX in order to give students the lowest possible price.
Andy Goodenow
Techs had been leading Tokyo's recent advance along with banks. Even though growth potential is bright for high-techs, they are not free from profit-taking now and then.
Hidenori Karaki
Firms have been showing strong profit growth by getting by with fewer people, adding computers instead.
Patrick Peterson
Clearly, the market is fundamentally overpriced, and in front of the impending numbers tomorrow, you had tremendous profit-taking.
Steve Bellino
The companies stand to do some profit because the oil is already there. All they have to do is take it off the ground.
Jason Schenker
But it does not mean we should risk lives of people. We cannot measure everything in terms of profit and loss.
Amar Sinha
The 3 percent kicks in during year three. On paper, we're not expecting to show a profit for the first year; we hope to show a small profit in year two.
Chris Allen
For fiscal year 2006 we expect further sales growth and another improvement of our operating profit.
Manfred Wennemer
What is a dividend but your payment as an owner of the company? If you don't get that, then the only way you can profit from your investment is to sell all of it or part of it.
Joseph Lisanti
We've raised a lot of money, and learned how different it is raising money for a profit venture versus a non-profit one.
Andrew Shue
With profit growth stagnating, the government should look for a better future for the company, such as seeking international strategic investors.
Simon Chao
The company delivered a profit report that surpassed even the most optimistic expectations.
Frederic Ruffy
In view of the exceptionally low loan loss charge and the tax credits in 2005, it will be a significant challenge to increase the net profit in 2006.
Ton Gietman
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
John C. Maxwell
The investors really made a profit on those, Bank of Communications, or CCB.
Kitty Chan
We did have some profit-taking early, but I think a lot of people that were caught behind the eight ball saw that as an opportunity to buy.
Peter Beutel
Money is very tight right now, ... You can't go to a bank and ask for a commercial loan if you don't have a business to show them, no profit and loss statements because you're not doing any business.
David Stout
I didn't know how to read a balance sheet, ... But running a non-profit is like running any business. These are skills you need to have.
Frank Goodyear
The profit is between 5 and 10 cents depending on what kind of gasoline we get.
Don Bowers
Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper.
Kazuo Inamori
But the last thing you want to see happen is for e-retailers to include their profit margins in the shipping charges.
Bill Swinyard
Profit growth is going to slow down dramatically. It's not a great level to be entering the equity market.
Teun Draaisma
Samsung can continue to generate profit growth and earnings this quarter will be positive. The outlook this year is favorable.
Choi Chang Hoon
Investments for new products and marketing for the soccer World Cup will have an effect on the profit margin.
Christian Schindler
Any business they do on the Internet is going to be very profitable for them. They have the infrastructure. They don't have to create it. And additionally, the profit margins on their bras and underwear and lingerie are spectacular, while the other e-commerce companies have very narrow margins.
Steve Kernkraut
The landlords are the ones making a profit off of it and bringing congestion to the neighborhood. I've been asking (elected officials about illegal housing) for a number of years. Sometimes you get answers and sometimes you don't.
Joe Mcgonigle
Not even Jack Welch, the greatest CEO of all time, could earn a normal profit in the airline industry, given today's condition.
Vaughn Cordle
We had an excellent apnea monitor program, but looking at national and local competitors, we really couldn't compete. We had to look at profit margins and profitability, so we made the decision to divest out of the apnea monitor program.
Gayle Devin
That was pure profit for them.
Larry Delo
Japan is making investors nervous. The U.K. market has had a pretty much uninterrupted bull market, so the potential for profit taking is large.
Jeremy Le Sueur
Buying by foreigners appears to be about half of what it was before...so at current levels the market seems to lack strength and is easily hit by profit-taking.
Yasuo Yabe
Through 2001 profit gains are expected to continue slowing, but get back to more sustainable levels. People are viewing this as terrible that growth is slowing, but that's going on the assumption that high double-digit growth is normal.
Joe Cooper
H-shares with high valuations saw profit taking today.
Antony Mak
No outsider has ever seen the profit and loss statement of a franchise or of the league itself.
Stan Chesley
It was a low-volume retreat. It's understandable. There's some profit taking, some lack of news and the ever-present geopolitical insecurity.
Stephen Porpora
We view change at the [U.S.] division, the company's most important profit driver, as a positive.
Matthew Fassler
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Robert Fulghum
They're entitled to recover their reasonable cost of providing service and a fair profit on their investment, ... But there's no doubt going to be a big battle over how much that is.
Martin Cohen
If they are making that much profit, they should reduce rates.
Rex Wilmouth
With some notable exceptions, manufacturers continue to experience difficult times, with high energy costs continuing to add pressure to profit margins.
Doug Godden
I think some people forecasting [profit growth] in the single digits are being conservative, which is a good thing when it comes to stocks. They are lowering the bar, which allows companies to meet or exceed estimates.
Nick Raich
This presentation changed my life...and that's no exaggeration! Multi-Dimensional Marketing woke me up to no fewer than 4 profit creators in my business. I'm literally shaking with excitement to go home and start making changes.
Jim Edwards
We've had a dollar sell-off in the latter half last week and a little bit of profit taking in late London trading.
Neil Mackinnon
Campbell needs to deal with the crisis in seniors' care in BC, not try to import ineffective for-profit models from Europe .
Joyce Jones
Profit-taking in many China stocks ... drove the market as well as H-shares into negative territory.
Castor Pang
I expect the index to move sideways today as there's a bit of profit taking.
Herbert Lau
We are confident of the outcome for the year and expect that pattern of profit improvement will favour the second half.
Steve Russell
There's not a profit in developing drugs for children's cancers.
Malcolm Smith
The incident in Saudi Arabia stirred up the market. The increase covered the cost of the product and allowed us to recover some profit.
Linda Casey
People should not profit from the miseries resulting from these heinous crimes.
Phill Kline
When John lost 22 pounds the first week, he actually made a profit.
Gail Rhodes
Broad-based, with nearly every consumer and commercial business line achieving double-digit profit growth.
Howard Atkins
The profit margins in this market are not outstanding in any direction. China is becoming a regular market.
Alexander Klose
Been keeping my normal profit margin.
Bill Elliott
Profit-taking is natural after those rises. The market is taking a breather. We hope that it's a breather, at least the trend is still looking positive.
Celso Cenise
It will become harder for companies to deliver profit growth. The U.S. consumer will slow as the year progresses.
Philip Barleggs
There was a substantial amount of profit taking, but the market absorbed it.
