Richard Bilotti

When the IOC co-ordination commission returns, we are confident we will be able to show them that everything is in place.

Rohan Walsh

We're [also] working on a movie called 'The Storm Returns' for DreamWorks.

Both of them hit the ball to the net man too much. In doubles that's kind of a cardinal sin. You hit the ball to the net man and they're going to shove it in your face and you should expect that. They both hit returns to the net man and they both got it shoved in their face.

James Vanek

Every year it's the same thing. You wait until the last minute, and you run down to the Tax Commission and drop off your returns.

Mark Horn

This portfolio gives commercial buyers a chance to pick up retail properties with great returns.

Jeremy Gardiner

With good returns on their lettings businesses and strong levels of capital appreciation over the past year, landlords continue to benefit from good overall returns — taking into account both rental income and capital appreciation.

Glenn Grimes

The prices all of us pay for insurance in 2002 may be a little higher. Prices were already firming up because insurers' investment returns had been decreasing, and auto and property loss had increased. But this is going to accelerate that process.

Vera Gibbons

(The) low-yielding yen is currently a global funding currency in a risk-loving environment, while Asian currencies are beneficiaries of risk-seeking global capital seeking returns in their asset markets.

Shahab Jalinoos

There's a history of investors jumping into asset classes at their peak, so it's better to temper expectations and not to expect recent returns will continue forever. Will investors be as excited about the diversification benefits when oil is falling, and stick with it?

Dan Culloton

Ameritrade has again delivered strong results, illustrated by record net revenues and excellent pre-tax margins. We would have had a record quarter if you adjusted the days to our last quarter and excluded the impact of Knight. Moving forward, we expect to continue leveraging our low-cost platform and producing superior financial returns for TD Ameritrade shareholders.

Joe Moglia

Morningstar should stick to their knitting, which is measuring investment returns, ... They do not have the expertise to judge companies' corporate governance.

Tyler Weekes

Companies spend years acquiring this stuff, and the returns don't justify keeping it, so they unload it.

Gil Knight

Energy stocks are very volatile. We consider them to be the tech stocks of the energy industry. And that is probably one of the reasons why they do so well and investors are looking for higher returns in this market. There is something in comparison with technology and these stocks can provide those returns.

Jordan Horoschak

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

Avery Cutshaw

One year I had about 14 different returns. That's a lot of signatures when it comes time.

Cory Sarich

Lee Mcpheters

We aren't going after ambitious returns with this. But we do want to bring a vision onto the streets.

We have to get better. This is a long season and you fight every week to win games and get better. And obviously we're not getting better on punt returns.

They're paying bond-like returns, and you're going to get capital appreciation from these things.

Don Boegel

The market is tough. There's a lot of activity. When you're trying to make deals you're confident can produce the returns we've been looking for, it's difficult. We're not just wildly bidding on everything. We're picking our spots.

Kevin Mccall

Economists are expecting things to gradually improve but realize that we are in a tougher environment now. I expect that 3 to 5 years from now we'll have some respectable gains of 5 percent to 10 percent annualized returns, but don't build a plan for anything better than that.

Russell Kinnel

When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.

Robert Bly

Despite the expectation for continued if not increased market volatility, we also expect to see returns more in line with historical levels, or approximately seven to ten percent annually, which still makes the markets very attractive for investors.

John Margarita

If you eat fresh foods that have a living energy, the food returns that living energy.

Simon Brown

Schools are closed, people are on vacation and returns are being done. This means store credits or cash to burn.

Mark Friedman

Investors will need to be aware that some target return funds quote their intended returns gross of fund charges, which means that, after the fund's expenses have been accounted for, they are likely to get a lower return than the target rate. They should also remember that the higher the charges, the higher the initial hurdle the manager will need to overcome in trying to meet the target return.

Paul Ilott

We are gratified by the strong financial performance and customer service delivered by our colleagues at Talbot since they joined us in 2004. They have earned these payments through dedication and improved financial returns that exceeded our initial projections.

Holly Cartner

Returns to airlines are slowly improving but are far from allowing long-term financial sustainability.

Brian Pearce

We have continued our focus on driving the operational performance of our hotels to maximize returns and have delivered first half results in line with our expectations.

Kwek Leng Beng

The IPO market has been boosted by the convergence of three factors - strong returns from the Australian equity market, a continued flood of cash from superannuation funds and the T3 effect.

Tom Henderson

Adam Steinberg

It seems that investors' views are being influenced by a couple of high-profile insolvencies, when these sub-sectors are producing very strong returns.

Bando Tamasaburo

Grant Cuff

When the beef market returns to more historical levels, we can add a full second shift across the board.

Tom Mann

There is no other leisure business in the world with the same potential for growth and shareholder returns as online gaming. We're in our embryonic stages.

David Carruthers

Investing in high-quality early childhood education has extraordinary returns, not only for Virginia's children, but also for our workforce and economy. The best investments are made in community-grown programs that truly meet local needs.

Paul Weaver

I don't recommend buying our fund based on returns. You buy a fund based on its management team.

Paul Cook

Jean Fiorito

Todd Jacobson
