People were looking at things that don't have any revenues yet, that don't have any profits yet; they have a product and they have hopes and dreams.
Fred Ketchen
Productivity always slows as the economy slows. If labor and wage costs are still on the rise and productivity slows, either corporate profits decline or prices increase.
Wayne Ayers
The airlines simply have a lot more money right now... They're taking some of those profits and plowing them back into an improved product.
Chris Mcginnis
I think people expected Palm to carry the day. When 3Com took it on the chin a little bit, people were disappointed and started to take some profits.
Ned Collins
The profits right now are so extreme that investors are willing to sell and forgo the long-term profits of keeping it as apartments.
Scott Boyers
This was really dumb. They are paying that kind of money for a company with no real profits and one product. I'm stunned.
Charles Wolf
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Robert Bolt
Japanese companies made higher profits than last year on their overseas operations, particularly in China and in the services sector.
Tomomichi Akuta
The easier availability of first mortgages has helped many marginal borrowers obtain loans and it has helped banks sustain loan volume and profits.
John Dugan
We can no longer stand by while our children's health is sacrificed for corporate profits.
Susan Linn
Investor confidence about profits at exporters is getting much stronger for the coming fiscal year. The dollar's advance is a major support for the bullish outlook.
Hideo Arimura
It may be wise to take profits on the news.
Timothy Anderson
But what is even more astonishing is that corporations can live in an environment with little pricing power and still earn very handsome profits.
Rosanne Cahn
Exxon-Mobil alone, one oil company, brought in more than $7.6 billion dollars in profits over the last three months.
Louise Slaughter
The corn business did very well. They may be capturing some market share. Those revenues were up pretty substantially, and that really helped to drive profits.
Michael Judd
The potential changes to the (net-profits) bill must be considered carefully to avoid upsetting the balance contained within the bill.
Susan Reeves
We don't see China as a competitive threat. They're not making profits at current prices.
Aditya Mittal
How much of the proceeds actually reach the charities? A portion? After profits? A percentage? Many companies leave that deliberately vague.
Trent Stamp
I don't see anything that's unhealthy with Dell's strategy, ... The problem with the consumer business is the margin issue. Profits can be a whole lot tighter than with the corporate business.
Knox Fuqua
The Middle East now has in windfall profits the capability of becoming the research and development stimulator.
Daniel Kurtzer
The profits are exceeding everyone's expectations. It's one of those rare moments in time where corporations really have earnings momentum.
Keith Wirtz
I think it's a great shame they are suing a group of people who put all the profits of the event back into tennis. We think it's heavy handed that the action also includes all the individual members of the club.
Brian Ritchie
People moved to take profits now as they don't want to be squeezed during a holiday.
Kunihiro Hatae
The Senate caved in to oil and gas companies that are rolling in record profits.
Karen Wayland
Nestle has achieved record levels of growth and profits, ... We are now harvesting the results of our relentless push for continuous improvement.
Peter Brabeck
Recent economic figures are very encouraging and [Wednesday's] industrial profits report is also very good.
Liang Feng
We are ahead of schedule on the return to profits plan we announced on May 5.
Brian L. Halla
There is only so much of a spread between what the dealer pays for the vehicle and the dealer's profits. If you throw a broker in there, you're just throwing in another mouth to feed.
Jack Nerad
We should see higher profits and sales again this business year.
Takeo Miyamoto
This isn't really the way that investors want to see Credit Suisse boost profits.
Javier Lodeiro
Today, there is an abundance of profits available for investment in capital expenditures. As that money is invested, there will be less free funds available and so the cycle will temporarily wane.
John Nofsinger
Some in the market felt that Canada had declined enough versus the U.S. and it was time to take some profits. The Canadian dollar is starting to look cheap.
Reid Farrill
Corporate earnings have had an incredible run over the past several years, and unfortunately, we believe we are past the peak of growth in profits and that corporate earnings will not meet their lofty expectations.
Robert Doll
While the group continues to operate within difficult market conditions, the directors are confident that the group will deliver full year profits in line with current market expectations.
Bob Murray
The investment way means that off-budget funds would be used, and the investor would seek profits. A decision will be made before the end of this year.
Vladimir Kozhin
It's important to connect reality to concept. An improvement in the gross domestic product has caused people to feel more confident in their jobs, but profits are being driven by efficiencies in this country rather than increase in demand.
Nicholas Heymann
Bulk annuities did compensate this quarter, but this weakness remains an issue given that annuities supply 50% of Legal & General's new business profits.
Bruno Paulson
Unless major negative influences are felt in the economic or monetary context, the group looks forward to ending the year with another record in sales and profits.
Peter Brabeck
We remain positive on stocks. Profits have been upgraded, and the economy hasn't slowed. This gives investors confidence.
Pierre Chevallier
[The governor] convened the hearing for a very simple reason: to get answers. This is a chance to ask some high-level representatives from oil companies why [record profits] happened.
Melanie Fonder
Web distribution puts more profits in our hands. At the same time, it allows us to pass the majority of our cost savings along to our customers.
Marc Deforest
I was bearish on U.S. equities earlier this year but have now turned positive. Stocks are only getting cheaper and cheaper, and the U.S. economy is strong, as are corporate profits.
Claes Ahrel
Investors are having to deal with the reality of lower corporate profits. And the stock market is starting to feel that impact.
Michael Strauss
We probably work off of fear, ... We have bills to pay, and we have to split (profits) four ways.
Michael Britt
We are running the cable business on flimsy profits. Already, we incur an expense of RS 380 per cable connection. This includes entertainment tax and broadcaster charges.
Ravi Singh
Finally, people are recognizing the economy's in good shape and so are profits.
James Swanson
This year has the potential to be No. 1 for operating revenues and profits.
John Christison
It's just going to have to come out of my profits for now, and hopefully the prices will drop soon, ... I think this is price gouging. They are trying to get what they can while they can. You have to have gas, so what are you gonna do?
David Carter
Harlequin stabilized its operating profit in 2005 after experiencing a significant decline in profits in 2004.
Robert Prichard
It must be that for them, the payment of the tax is minor compared with the potential profits to be made.
Jose Gregorio Tineo
They've made very good profits over the last four or five years. They've had a good run, so they're well-placed to take a hit.
Darren Gibbs
It's been a very steady move to for-profits.
Don Schumacher
The basic conclusion is that 1999-2000 will bring further gains in corporate profits, mild-mannered inflation and a generally favorable outcome for equity prices. Increasing confidence that the economic expansion will continue through our newly-extended forecast horizon encourages a modest upward revision in stock price targets.
Abby Joseph Cohen
It's a lot tougher a business, but the profits are a lot higher in the urban market.
John Mcilwain
We are extremely excited and optimistic about our venture with the Coffee Beanery and are exploring additional product ventures and business growth opportunities as we continue to work to increase revenue and profits.
Larry Twombly
The thing that has really accelerated this and magnified this situation is the Internet, ... It seems everyone is getting involved in this now, and tying to make a big profit. A lot of ticket brokers are being forced to buy on the secondary market, and that seriously cuts into our profits.
Robert Jones
Just given the fact the market wasn't able to push the Canadian dollar above that 12-year high that was set last November, I think that caused a few people to look at taking some profits on some of their long Canadian dollar positions.
George Davis
There is huge potential in rural regions. Lower subscriber acquisition cost may bring in huge profits in the future.
Wang Jianzhou
The industry has managed the massive losses of the 2005 hurricane season and is enjoying the profits and healthy balance sheets that have resulted from a continued hard market.
Simon Marshall
Corporate profits will likely fall, but remain a large portion of GDP.
Conrad Dequadros
The economy is living with it, and corporations are turning in strong profits despite high energy costs. People forget that energy isn't as big a part of the economy as it was 25 years ago.
David Wyss
Our decline was all in function of what was happening outside Brazil. But we were also with an accumulated rise of 14 percent and we needed a reason to take profits.
Carlos Hokama
They'll take a hit on the profits, but if they want to stave off lost lines they can do it by pricing with the market.
Maribel Lopez
Investors decided to book profits on recent positive news from Volkswagen and solid car registration figures.
Guenter Senftleben
The oil market is now down because most people are taking profits after seeing a sharp increase last week.
Tetsu Emori
As we have seen for more than a year, ... our upstream business -- exploration and production -- has been the major contributor to our higher profits.
Dave O'reilly
Employers can make a big difference to the health of their workers, while at the same time improving the productivity and profits of their business.
Jacqui Smith
If corporate profits do go down, it's highly likely that we could see the U.S. tumble into a recession.
Debora Spar
We furnished the farm house and the land. They furnished the labor and the equipment and then we divided the profits. It was a perfect arrangement.
Hayes Harbour
If you look at all the exchanges that had started down the demutualization path ... the IPO is not the goal initially. What we want to do is make quicker decisions, streamline the process and make profits.
William Brodsky
We are now expecting profits to be significantly below our original plans for the year, almost entirely because of the weakness in advertising markets.
Marjorie Scardino
It's facing more and more competition each day and that's going to keep chipping away at profits. It's an ugly position to be in if you're trying to sell half the company.
Don Hamson
Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken.
William Moulton Marston
The latest offer is reasonably light, ... It could be an indication that we're now arriving at a full valuation, and it may be time for investors to take profits.
Gary Murphy
The big concern that the Street has with the Fed is if they continue to go at this pace, what does this do to corporate profits?
Brian Williamson
Given that the Internet is a great one-to-one marketing tool for consumers, it's not surprising that -- if non-profits do their jobs well -- people are happy to donate online.
Harry Gruber
We expect Dutch stocks to suffer this year due to pressure from a lower dollar. When the dollar declines, that directly comes off their profits.
Corne Van Zeijl
We anticipate a stronger profit performance in the second half and the outlook for the full year remains in line with market expectations. Looking further ahead, the Board is confident that the Group's profits can be improved in the future.
Ron Sandler
Profits have been good and are lifting stocks.
Guillaume Duchesne
The market has fallen a lot in the last week or so, people have locked in some profits on the miners and now the dust has settled over a couple of days we've headed comfortably back to the 5,400 level.
Richard Hunter
We believe that Sun clearly should be more profitable than it is. However, the mix shift to lower-end products and the continued pace of heavy investments may continue to pressure operating profits.
Benjamin Reitzes
We are seeing that corporate profits are even better than expected. Everyone was saying earlier in the year that expectations might be too high, but the figures are very good.
Thomas Koerfgen
There will be no requirement, ever, for not-for-profits who deliver e-mail to AOL members to pay for e-mail certification and delivery.
Charles Stiles
Bush is a killer in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has killed innocent women and children. Bush only wants profits. He is coming to India to see that Americans get a toehold in Kashmir.
Sudhir Kumar
The current trend is to lock in profits from technology issues and shift money to defensives.
Hidenori Kawasaki
The oil companies are making great gains in this environment of high prices, but consumers are paying the price. These are phenomenal profits — they're expected but completely out of line with what's right for the average American consumer who has to use their car to get to work.
Athan Manuel
It's good news for the economy, it's good news for the Fed and it's good news for corporate profits.
John Silvia
Though China's textiles and clothes might impact local textile manufacturers, they will bring more profits to local purchasers, retailers and consumers.
Han Licheng
When Wall Street analysts talk about efficiencies, they're talking about more money for HMO profits, not better care.
Jerry Flanagan
Stocks have climbed a bit quickly, considering earnings outlooks. Investors are beginning to lock in some profits.
Olivier Quinty
The overall performance of the market in the last couple of days has been impressive. Investors are locking in profits.
Boris Boehm
Things got really heated up over this Iran thing, and traders hate leaving such big profits on the table for news that could change at any moment.
Kevin Kerr
It's difficult to reconcile these colossal profits with the fact that some of the most vulnerable people in society can't heat their homes and industry is struggling to keep going.
Derek Simpson
I think what we had today was a disconnect between the stock market and the economy. The U.S. economy looks great...corporate profits [are] good...inflation and interest rates will be friendly for longer.
Abby Joseph Cohen
The fact that both P.& G. and Colgate were able to pass on the higher costs to consumers without hurting sales is encouraging. These companies have been reshaping their portfolios toward higher-margin categories to drive profits. Over all, both the companies have done a decent job at new product introductions.
Keith Patriquin
The profits from our book sales are used to pay the salaries of Campus Center and cafeteria employees.
Joyce Dill
Overall, new business profits may disappoint when reported at the (first half) results.
Mikir Shah
It's very, very dangerous, and Ford needs to step up to the plate and do the right thing for the consumers and not worry about what the profits are.
Emily Peacock
These discounts are too good to pass up. But we think that these are planned sales and not at the expense of retailers' profits.
Ellen Tolley
Oil prices are effectively a tax and we want a low-tax global economy. I am happier with lower prices, even if the profits of oil companies come down.
Edward Menashy
Now more than ever, the money is gushing into the pockets of the oil and gas industry, ... The five largest oil companies have recorded profits of over $46 billion during the first six months of this year.
Edward Markey
We still see no prospect of a return to net profits.
Eiichi Katayama
We have a level of growth now in the world that is low enough for the Fed not to raise interest rates by a lot, but high enough for companies to grow profits in a very good way. Equities are the least over- valued asset class and growth is very decent.
