One can paint a dire scenario at one end of the spectrum, with consumers and corporations pulling in their horns, the U.S. economy going into recession, international economies following ... recovery pushing out to 2003, earnings estimates taking another big hit, and stocks due for a hammering.

Terry Ragsdale

The trend of Japan's economic recovery won't stop. The central bank seems to become increasingly confident that it can change policy around the middle of 2006.

Masaaki Kanno

My own concern is does the consumer give out and drag down the economy in 2006? The corporate sector is well into a recovery, but the consumer never had a recession.

Jeff Harte

We think we're going to see recovery by second half of the year and that growth can be quite brisk.

Josh Feinman

I think the market came down over the last few days and is recovering now, and that recovery can probably continue through the end of the week.

Michael Carty

Koizumi's dream of keeping yields low during a recovery will probably fail. His government can't prevent the increase in yields as the economy extends its expansion.

Katsutoshi Inadome

We are very confident about the long-term outlook for our business, but believe that the immediate impact will be a further weakening in the operating environment and a delay in the economic recovery, ... However, given increased fiscal and monetary stimulus, we anticipate that long-term economic recovery should be more certain and vigorous than previously expected.

Henry Paulson

The recovery is eventually going to happen, but I don't see it being that significant in 2003.

James Sanders

Louise is going gangbusters and her recovery is getting better and better from day to day.

Peter Fricker

I nearly passed out in the recovery because she looked so bad.

Jim Denny

You are not going to get margin expansion like you have in prior years by the look of things. The biggest concern is the cost pressure and the recovery of the cost pressure.

David Cooke

Participants in the market continue to maintain doubts about the strength and durability of the euro zone recovery.

Bernard Walschots

Nature is pretty good about self-recovery, but a lot depends on what man does to hinder or assist in that recovery. The nice thing about wetlands is that they can cleanse and filter water as it moves through, but too much contamination can overwhelm this natural filtering system and destroy it.

Thomas Miller

We want to make sure the launch and recovery are absolutely flawless.

Jerry Larson

With the recent confirmation that the manufacturing recovery is on hold, we expect economic growth forecasts for both the world and UK economies to be cut back in the forthcoming Pre-Budget Report.

John Monks

Companies and consumers are going to keep driving economic growth this year. There is no doubt this recovery, which being is driven by domestic demand, is sustainable.

Ryota Sakagami

The recovery remains very fragile. Consumption slowed, investments are still subdued, and exports are having difficulty picking up.

Marc Touati

The German economy is on a longer-term path of recovery, helped by some gains in domestic demand. Germany may well be able to help lead the euro zone out of a period of fairly stagnant growth.

David Page

Certainly, I'd think Beauvoir would be eligible and a priority. Thousands of historic structures were damaged by last year's hurricanes. These funds are important to ensure the full economic and cultural recovery of the Coast.

Jenny Manley

I think in each individual, it's going to be a question of when they see the event as being over and when they see themselves as beginning the recovery process and moving forward.

Gerard Jacobs

Our mother is coming home and we are so grateful and thankful. We are pleased that she is able to move to the next level at home with continued rehabilitation. We are convinced in our knowledge that she will see a full recovery.

Yolanda King

This is the fourth year of profit growth so we are far beyond a recovery. We are at an economic expansion period.

Stefan Rheinwald

We do not think there is a mode shift (from air to ground shipments, ... We believe that the express-intensive businesses are the ones that have been punished the most in the recession and the slow recovery.

Alan Graf

That does suggest a jobless economic recovery.

Jim Schlies

Investors should look to the wireless companies for the first signs of recovery.

Per Lindberg

They have such a complex capital structure, and the subordination of some of the issues is unclear. You're going to have a lot of contentious fighting going on with bondholders on what kind of recovery they're going to get.

Caesar Silvestro

Anna was scared about her recovery from last week because she was losing two days of training by coming here.

Marco Selle

The market today was responding to the outlook with the increasing possibility we will see an interest-rate cut. And the day's recovery is reflecting the rebound in stocks.

David Rinehimer

We will decide how to prepare for the Moscow world championships according to the influence of the ankle injury and the condition of the recovery.

Sun Haiping

Business recovery is certainly the primary concern. There's so much available out there, I think it's really important to make in known to the community.

Bill Newton

Once you hit about 56-57, injuries can really slow you, and you need more recovery time. I used to run 30 or more races a year, and now I run 15 or so.

Jon Wisser

You have to bear in mind that the chip sector was the first industry into a recession and its not unreasonable to believe it would be first to come out. When it comes out of a recession it should herald a recovery for the technology sector but chip inventories are critical.

Peter Oppenheimer

What we've seen over the past few months is a very gradual recovery in retail sales. We're likely to see a continued recovery in coming months, but nothing dramatic.

Michael Penn

This is not going to be easy folks, it's not going to be fast. Recovery is a slow, methodical process.

David Paulison

Elk existed at one time in 48 of the 50 states. A lot of the recovery is due to good wildlife management practices.

Mark Armstrong

Greenspan saying he's optimistic about an economic recovery is as positive as it gets. He may as well jump up and down on Times Square ringing a bell.

Michael Driscoll

One of her charges is to expand our current programs, examine what we've been doing that needs to be changed and also where we need to supplement our programs to assist victims in their long-term recovery.

Donna Farrell

They could go back. If (Republicans) do it, they'll do it under the rubric of continuing the economic recovery.

Fred Mcclure

So many of the people, organizations and businesses that are helping rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf were themselves victims of the disaster. Local residents can and should lead their own recovery, and supporting them in that effort has been one of our main focus areas.

Denise Barrett

This recovery we're in is gradual. We're seeing a real measured pace of absorption, rent appreciation and vacancy decline.

Brett White

Initially, recovery needs to be their life.

Dave Renaud

It wasn't as good as expected but it doesn't change the outlook for the economy. The impression is that the recovery is spreading to smaller companies.

Seiji Adachi

The economic recovery in New York state continues.

David Trzaskos

Its recovery has breathed life into all the Internet stocks.

Hiroshi Sato

As the recovery takes hold, the vulnerability we have surrounding these issues will diminish and they won't be able to impact the overall economy. And then investors will focus on the good news.

Lakshman Achuthan

While there have been some encouraging signs that Japan's economy is declining less sharply, most forecasters do not see a recovery this year or into next.

Lael Brainard

The stock market has given off false signals in terms of anticipating recessions, but it has never given off a false signal about recovery before the recession ended.

Lacy Hunt

We hope people agree that a little wait is okay in order to support the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort.

Annette Copeland

It looks like the economic recovery there is the real McCoy.

Michael Strauss

Profitability in the first-quarter and beyond is going to continue to be strong and the broader economy is clearly in a recovery phase.

Ben Halliburton

She's gotten stronger and is powering through hill workouts. Her recovery is quicker and she's become more mature and focused.

Rhett Hanson

(Nationally), species such as the bald eagle have made a comeback because of targeted efforts. But unlike the federal program, Georgia does not have an individual recovery plan for each protected species.

Brett Albanese

We have made substantial investments in the region, and our new deficit projections will include costs of Katrina and Rita recovery. We believe that those increased outlays associated with the Katrina recovery efforts are a temporary event.

Joel Kaplan

It shows the expected recovery in the Christmas season in liquid crystals. But the outlook is a little disappointing.

Martin Possienke

Most of the rescue operations have been completed and they're moving into recovery mode.

Bill Lacy

They are in a process of recovery.

Huang Seen

We are in the second phase of the recovery.

Axel Weber

The market saw through the Fed's inspiring comments about the economic recovery because it moved to an easing bias. We also had some poor earnings news from U.S. tech and media names after Wall Street closed.

Alia Baig

For this market to really push on we need to see unemployment trends drop, so that the retail sector can be certain of making a contribution to the recovery of the U.S. economy.

David Buik

For the Presidents Cup team for the International side, it's a huge loss. You know he's either going to win or he's going to halve pretty much all his matches. It really makes the International team a little bit weaker, but on the other side, we all hope for a fast recovery.

Robert Allenby

In the electronics business there were signs of recovery but it's not yet at a satisfactory level.

Nobuyuki Oneda

I'm not certain she'll have full recovery. We certainly hope for that.

Maggie Mermin

We have lost the momentum (for recovery).

Bagus Sudibya

It was a reasonable performance and it would have been good if it were not for mobile phones. We think we might be seeing the first signs of recovery in the PC market. December was a reasonable month.

Brian Livingston

It really looks like a textbook recovery to me.

Davitt Mcateer

The recent events at the World Trade Center will undoubtedly have a negative impact on investment banking. Although economists believe a U.S. economic recovery will likely be stronger than previously expected, it is clear that any recovery in investment banking will be pushed well into 2002.

David Viniar

We're coming off such a low base, higher rates will be more of a confirmation of an economic recovery than a dampening on corporate profits, ... We've been long on a lot of sectors tied to economic recovery and growth, and we're not going to change that stance, even after the first rate increase.

Joe Kalinowski

We're putting together a manual on things they should do immediately, ... It will have sections on issuing building permits for repairs and our financial recovery plan.

Doug Anderson

Made in Germany is a big trademark, and the products are heading to the U.S., Eastern Europe and Asia. Germany still depends on sales abroad, but the recovery is broadening.

Stefan Bielmeier

This is a very anemic recovery. It has a lot of problems with it, and we don't have dirt-cheap valuations. I firmly believe the bear market is over, but this is not going to be a roaring bull market, and I think we're going to see a lot of interruptions and halting and starting before we get a consistently better market.

Charles Pradilla

The rationale for the only recovery plan is to make sure that there is no gap between the end of the relief operation and full-scale reconstruction.

Jan Vandermoortele

He is still in the recovery process, but we are optimistic he will fully recover within two or three weeks.

Rudy Hartono

We think it trades at a discount. We think that it's a good opportunity, especially when we look for a good recovery into next year.

Diana Yates

You really get to know someone when you're put together like that for that length of time. He's still with us. He's alive and in recovery.

Jose Sanchez

He is in a critical condition. The doctors are trying their level best. We are all praying for his early recovery.

Harsh Vardhan

The recovery is going to be plodding from here. I think the market will close the year higher than where it is now, but it's not going to an explosion on the way up.

Stanley Nabi

We seem to be showing a little bit of a recovery, we were at one point down double digits.

Jeff Cheah

The recovery has taken a firm root, while demand-side price pressure is growing.

Park Seung

It is certainly difficult for us to see Mother in a weakened state. Because our faith is so strong and we are seeing daily improvement, it helps. We are completely assured that she will come to a full and complete recovery.

Yolanda King

It was our first match (since the Cardinal). It was definitely good for us to play. I agree not everybody was ready because it was a recovery week.

Jan Brogan

We're going to be in a recovery effort for a good long time. But the state is not facing the same problems that the state of Louisiana and Mississippi are experiencing.

Scott Adcock

The front end of the curve tried to rally a little bit and there was a trade down in the belly of the curve. We expect the Fed to cut rates another quarter-percentage point in January and for federal funds to be at 1.5 percent in the middle of 2002. We're looking for a recovery in the third quarter of next year.

Dominic Konstam

The bottom line for German growth this year is that recovery momentum is flagging with GDP likely to rise by no more than 0.8 percent in 2005.

Joe Brown and David Brown

The upside for bonds will be heavy. Unless there is a sudden slowdown in overseas economies, Japan's economy will probably extend its recovery.

Makoto Yamashita

We're hoping to focus on the recovery and rebuilding of the sciences we have. We have spent tens of millions of dollars in building capacity in research. The challenge is not to lose that as we focus on new opportunities. It's a huge challenge.

John Clements

Dennis is the heart and soul of our team. We are extremely disappointed for him, however his health and future is important. Time is the major ingredient in his recovery.

Tim Buckley

There is a risk (to the recovery from the VAT hike) but since we are seeing stronger growth then there is a bigger chance that the German economy can actually withstand it.

Silvia Pepino

The handset market is beginning a recovery. Consumers are interested in new phones with color and digital displays.

Greg Teets

It's a group of highly trained and well-equipped FBI personnel who specialize in organizing and conducting major evidence recovery operations.

Paul Mccabe

More and more companies are now looking at ways that satellite services can augment their disaster recovery plans.

Patti Reali

The military police were there to provide support to local law enforcement, and the engineers were used for search-and-recovery mission support and evacuation support.

Tim Powell

Conditions in our markets are mixed, and we do not yet see clear signs of a recovery in end markets.

Gene Sapp

Nobody feels they have to buy the market at higher prices, at least not yet. Stocks have had a nice recovery, they're up overseas, the dollar is weaker -- so people are saying there's no real reason to buy the bond market.

Peter Mcteague

He's medically in stable condition, but he faces a long, long recovery.

Dick Jefferson

I think it's been a very exciting time as people have worked out individual plans. We want folks to have as much control over their own recovery as possible.

David Hoge

These funds are important to ensure the full economic and cultural recovery of the coast.

Jenny Manley

We've seen an acknowledgement that they do have an addiction to spending. That's the first step to recovery.

Scott Hennig

Although you hear great things about hotel recovery, the industry is still not back. Lots of inner-city construction is not feasible for a pure and simple hotel. It doesn't work.

Patrick Ford

Oil prices have risen so dramatically that the view now is that this could choke off U.S. growth and prevent any recovery in the stock market.

Michael Woolfolk

We were looking forward to welcoming him here for the first time. For Rafael, his health and fitness is the priority and we wish him the best for a speedy recovery.

Craig Watson

Although I expect policy to follow the usual gradualist pattern, the pace of tightening will of necessity respond to evolving economic conditions, particularly the strength of the ongoing recovery in the labor market and developments on the inflation front.

Ben S. Bernanke

The recovery is not off the ground yet and there's a danger it could be nipped in the bud in its infancy. I think a lot of economists who have been very cocky over the last month, revising expectations up to ridiculous levels, are starting to backtrack.

Martin Brooker

Until several days ago it looked like the euro was trying to mount a recovery, ... But it failed and it looks like it's heading lower again. We see the euro continuing to be under pressure mainly because the U.S. market, after the Fed does nothing next week, will focus on the prospect that the Fed will raise rates in the future.

Jon Jacobs

The trend has not changed in that a recovery in corporate profits is leading to rises in capital spending.

Takumi Tsunoda

The travesty is it's going to make things worse -- rather than better -- for recovery.

Patti Goldman

The economy is showing encouraging signs of recovery.

George Voinovich

Through extensive disaster and business resumption planning and heroic efforts by corporate and local employees, we managed to sustain the highest levels of customer service in the aftermath of the hurricane and to achieve a full recovery of operations in record time.

Andrew Fraser

We continue to see strong and sustainable recovery across many key sectors of the economy.

Fred Smith

For people who are able to work again, a job can be itself an important step in the road to recovery and rehabilitation.

Alan Johnson

The important thing at this point is to ensure the $62 billion already appropriated, and future funds that go toward the recovery, go to the people who need the money the most and to worthwhile rebuilding projects.

Ander Crenshaw

Flood damage does not tend to be as insured. The lack of insurance is likely to cause the recovery to be delayed.

Mark Vitner

I think he's a got a great potential for a complete, possibly complete, recovery.

Dr. Julian Bailes

I haven't heard any concern from anybody. He's made a remarkable recovery for a guy that had the problems he did.

Gil Brandt

We still think a trough should be reached in the first quarter but to be sure we get a recovery, we should see expectations improving in January or February at the latest.

Gernot Nerb

The governor continues to make steady progress in his recovery, and today doctors have begun the process of reestablishing a normal diet.

Dave Catalfamo

The northern New Jersey market has not participated in the recovery as early as the Manhattan market but you are really starting to see performance accelerating.

Sean Hennessey

It's incredible. We have condemned this despicable act and we hope the reporter makes a full recovery. This is a newspaper that was already censoring some of its coverage because of attacks against it. Attacking a paper that was not doing aggressive coverage gives us a clear picture of the dangers that reporters confront in doing their job.

Carlos Lauria

It's a strange rally today (Thursday) and there are probably a lot of little things out there (helping). People have now decided they're going to look out another six months and they're banking on a recovery.

Mark Donohoe

He is making progress. No operations are planned in the near future, and the doctors feel he is right on track with his recovery.

Marsha Defilippo

Excluding the rise in the fuel bill, the industry has actually achieved a 'normal' cyclical recovery in profitability.

Brian Pearce

I am willing to do whatever we can to put the focus on recovery and do what we can to recover these species as long as my property owners are protected.

Richard Pombo

To put this in perspective, a couple of years into recovery, we should be seeing 250,000 to 300,000 new jobs per month. We're not there yet.

Lakshman Achuthan

As the wolf recovery area starts to spread out, it is important to know that Defenders will keep its commitment financially to compensate ranchers for losses due to wolf kills.

Rodger Schlickeisen

That number showed the market the U.S. may not be able to lower interest rates as soon as people expected ... and that will lengthen the time before their recovery.

Francisco Andrade

We're still doing well. We took a little hit, but we're in the process of recovery.

Mike Rohde

They've just made a remarkable recovery.

Lynda White

We like consumer plays. Asia has high savings rates. That becomes strong consumption power when coupled with domestic recovery.

Teresa Chow

We have no timetable for my return, but I'm working hard and expect to make a full recovery. I am very anxious to get back on the court and help my teammates any way I can.

Andray Blatche

Ours (fuel-cost recovery) happens more smoothly and over a longer period.

Joe Domino

The recovery hasn't had the traction in Colorado Springs that it has had in Denver and the rest of the state.

Joe Winter

We felt we could run on them. But after that (fumble recovery), all of our backs started to run a little bit harder.

Tim Rimpfel

The outlook for recovery is fading. We are looking at another possible recession in manufacturing which would not bode well for the overall economy.

Adolf Rosenstock

The recovery has been fueled by lower rates, and people have been so focused on that, they're losing sight of the fact that, in a normal recovery period, interest rates should be going higher. The economy still looks strong, and that's the key.

Andy Engel

I think his anger is misplaced and I wish him a speedy recovery.

James Glasgow

The expected recovery of the tourism industry in 2002 simply did not occur.

Juan Somavia

In a perfect world, if we had known how the recovery would go, maybe he would have continued to play on it. But at the same time, we're looking at his career in the long term, not the short term.

Joe Speed

There is a recovery, it's doubtless under way. There are signs that indicate that the economy is improving.

Mario Draghi

This wouldn't have happened without Bob and his disaster recovery expertise.

Doug Cole

Recovery will be slow because so many investors have been hit by what has happened over the past few months in relation to Russia...that they are going to be wary about coming back in despite there being obvious bargain basement prices.

Chris Portman

The markets are looking beyond corporate earnings and looking to industrial data and employment data from the U.S. to see what kind of economic recovery we can expect.

Ben Rudd

Hopefully we could reduce control action that ends up being lethal. This could be a win-win situation, benefiting livestock producers and the recovery program.

Roy Heberger

Lew shepherded Boeing with strength, grace, dignity and integrity through a period when the company most needed his steady hand. He was a compassionate man who put his own retirement and personal plans on the back burner to ensure that Boeing never missed a beat through its recent recovery.

Jim Mcnerney

We're hoping for a great recovery, but it's just too early to know.

Dr. Julian Bailes

After a bit of a recovery, the market is in a wait-and-see mode again. There is the usual window-dressing ahead of quarter-end.

Lex Werkheim

Some of the Kmart issue was worked in during the previous session. The data out of the U.S. still points to an economic recovery.

Hidenori Karaki

One tragedy here, one tragedy there, ... We go through different acts, but we all go through the same pain, the same suffering, the same recovery.

Van Orden

In our opinion, we're close to the turning point. We can say that the economy is firming, and we can talk of the start of a recovery.

Gernot Nerb

I've seen $90 charged for a 70-cent I.V. How about $129 for a mucous recovery system? That's a box of Kleenex.

Nora Johnson

If the companies aren't offering policies to people, it has a tremendous effect on the recovery process.

Karen Carter

I'm shocked by the devastation, ... I'm hoping that this MLS auction in some small way may be of help in the recovery efforts.

Freddy Adu

By gathering this detailed history of recovery plans, we expect we'll be able to say quite a bit about how they've evolved over time and their effectiveness.

Dee Boersma

Signs of economic recovery continue to boost investor sentiment on stocks. Earnings at exporters will continue to grow next year.

Choi Min Jai

The recovery day is every bit as important as the activity day.

Rich Peterson

The doctors were pleased with his recovery and decided he could go home.

Katie Riley

The data are a disaster for the recovery story. It suggests that once the stimulus to consumption fades there won't be the hiring there to replace it.

Dominic Konstam

We've now got synchronized monetary policy everywhere in the world. It's a sign of confidence in the economic recovery.

Garry Evans

Overall we still believe the recovery in the housing market will start to boost household confidence and spending.

Dominic Bryant

Responsible economic recovery plan.

Parris Glendening

There is probably not going to be a recovery until 2003. I expect the suffering to continue and impact most of the telecom stocks.

Pip Coburn

The longer these flood waters sit there and toxic deposits build up that need to be cleaned up ... the longer the recovery line.

Laurie Johnson

It remains unclear, of course, what role economic data really are playing in markets just now. Despite evidence that the recovery continues both in the U.S. and abroad, equity markets continue to struggle.

Maury Harris

The action you are seeing is probably in reaction to selling that has been going on the past few days; a recovery that looks technically driven to me.

Don Kowalchik

The improvement in underlying sales has been driven by some price investment and by 'easy' improvements in availability that you would expect in the early stages of a recovery. Indeed, it is still too early to call any major recovery.

David Mccarthy

The Army medical command is putting all of its assets on medical and psychological behind their maximized recovery, ... We want to make sure they get the best of care.

Glenn Mitchell

Fundamentally, this economy is in recovery. But we do need to bring it to the bottom line.

Joe Cangemi

You're supposed to see recovery signs and they really are right on cue.

Robert Barbera

The current account deficit shows that the dollar/won exchange-rate fall has meant deteriorating company profits, while savings have declined. The consumption recovery may soon be constrained by weak income growth.

Oh Suktae

This recession was really an investment bust and a bust in the stock market, so the recovery is going to be very different than in the past.

William Dudley

The formation of right habits is essential to your permanent security. They diminish your chance of falling when assaulted, and they augment your chance of recovery when overthrown.

John Tyndall

They have done a spectacular job with the recovery issue right now and getting the short-term problems addressed.

Hans Wilhelmsen

Overall the recovery in business investment has proved disappointing, despite companies being cash rich.

John Butler

This will not be the last request for the response to the disaster there. We anticipate that there will be a need for additional supplemental spending, especially in the process of recovery there in the Gulf area.

Josh Bolten

The market is reacting to the day-to-day news, which reflects the continuing uncertainty that an economic recovery is on the way. We see that with the numbers this morning.

Robert Bloom

Economies are still growing faster in Asia-Pacific than they are elsewhere in the world, and one of the giants of Asia- Pacific, Japan, shows signs of recovery, which will be a big help.

Hugh Young

We're looking at three to four months recovery, and as well as missing a lot of games for us he now has a lot of work ahead to get back for the Six Nations.

Hugh Campbell

Everyone in the urban areas is actually paying full cost recovery.

Peter Beattie

This is significantly slower than the recovery from (Hurricane) Ivan, ... The easy stuff has been brought back. ... Now the tough stuff is ahead of us.

Jamal Qureshi

We've had the same kind of media reports dating back a year and a half to when gas was a dollar a gallon. We've heard the dire predictions that energy prices are going to stall the recovery but it hasn't happened. So far, I think people have been able to absorb the jump in gas prices to $2.25 or $2.50 a gallon. There's probably a limit, though, about $3 a gallon.

Janet Harrah

Our focus is to look at my brother as a person and look at what he has done with his life and look and make sure we are by his side. Because the only thing that matters to us is his recovery.

Ted Bailey

The recovery is modest, but will likely last long. It is much more resilient to external shocks.

Makoto Ishikawa

Our main focus here is on the individual and the family and how they're suffering. Our job is now to coordinate all the help that is out there to help in the recovery effort.

Ray Lovell

We will get behind the Governor's Commission on Recovery and Redevelopment and break it down by various areas. At the end of the day, it's the business sector that will drive the recovery of the Coast. They will do it with their investment dollars and with their leadership.

Anthony Topazi

This camp registration aims to record their total numbers and their vulnerability. The deduced information will also serve in planning for the early recovery phase.

Indrika Ratwatte

It has a lot of integrity. It has served many children. We get feedback from parents that they are happy their children were in Reading Recovery and didn't have to be placed in a long-term program.

Kelly Bacon

The outlook for the bond market is still negative. The European recovery is quite strong and we've had an accumulation of hawkish comments from the ECB.

Cyril Beuzit

I think investors were too optimistic about an earnings recovery in the first quarter.

Bernadette Murphy

We're tracking well against that recovery path and we're delighted with where the group is moving.

John Stewart

The European economy is on course for a good recovery and the ECB is likely to raise rates to 2.75 percent by year-end. The euro is looking more attractive.

Masafumi Yamamoto

We're seeing indicators that are beginning to show the first real recovery in five to six years. The health is there.

Reyn Bowman

The recovery phase is probably behind us, and we've probably moved into a normalized expansion going forward.

John Derrick

We don't expect a rapid turnaround, but the seeds of recovery are being sown.

Loren Loverde

My feeling is that the market's in the process of recovery but it's going to take more time for the Nikkei to really lift off. The Nikkei will probably be stuck around 15,000 for more than a week.

Hidenori Kawasaki

If we get any rainfall in the next month or so, the recovery may be better than people think it is. The key factor: can we get any timely rainfall?

Dr. Ted Mccollum

But what we learn in recovery is not to react to those triggers. It's a lifelong process. It's not something you can do for a year and then stop and be cured.

Angie Ridings

We're multitasking right now. Rescue, recovery, stabilization of looting, we're trying to feed the hungry.

Marlon Defillo

I can't see any particular catalyst for the market going lower because there is the prospect of economic recovery, and improving expectations for economic growth in due course should feed through to improving expectations for earnings and should stop undermining apparently bad valuations.

Robert Kerr

We believe the noise will remain constant, but the signal/noise ratio is clearly falling, as the macro economy continues to enter a recovery phase.

Adam Le Mesurier

It's difficult to buy bonds, especially five-year and shorter notes, before the growth report. The economic recovery is well under way and the market is pricing in chances for a rate increase later this year.

Hiroaki Takai

All the pieces of a labor market recovery are falling into place. Monster won't need a huge number of positive payroll reports to make their numbers. Expectations are conservative.

Ashish Thadhani

I would say that the reports we've had on the labor market over the past three months are more than enough to convince us that the recovery in the labor market is truly in place.

Conrad Dequadros
