Our shares have always appealed to individual investors and we expect this step to make our shares more affordable and even more attractive to retail shareholders.

Gordon Nixon

Garmin shares many of the same great attributes as Segway. Both companies are innovative technology and design leaders that build versatile, powerful, and fun to use products -- so offering them in tandem makes the 'Find Your Way With Segway' offer very compelling.

Gary Kelley

Shares of banks in emerging markets have a much larger growth potential than banks in developed Europe.

Mario Pierry

We saw Wendy's was languishing at $40, but when we saw Pershing Square's proposal, it was clear that the shares were worth $65.

Whitney Tilson

With the inherent value in Cabot's capital program, we recommenced buying shares in late November and early December with the market pull back. We still see a lot of merit and long-term value for the shareholders in looking at COG stock as an investment alternative.

Dan O. Dinges

Consumers are beginning to feel the impact of higher oil prices in their pockets. Less confidence means less spending and no wonder we have been seeing shares of retailers and banks faltering.

Larry Peruzzi

It appears that investor sentiment for upstream semiconductor-related shares has been strong.

Shawn Wang

There's still some legs left in the mining shares, but we'd love to hunt for more of the farming-type commodity stocks. There's a general commodities boom on, and the 'soft' commodities is where the next big leg up is likely to come from.

Jim Reid

At the margin, we remain a holder of Microsoft shares, not an aggressive buyer.

Dean Stanley

I think the take-up for the placement is not too good and other property developers may be discouraged from placing shares at this time.

Andrew To

Giving to emerging economies, and in particular countries like China, more representation in terms of voting power and in terms of shares.

Martin Redrado

The U.S. economy's growth is making further interest rate increases likely and that's been translated into this market, affecting high-tech shares in particular.

Junichi Misawa

Avoid buying the highest-yielding stock in any one particular group, for that is often indication the market has beaten down the shares on fears of a dividend cut. It's better to buy something with more modest current yield and a good track record of increasing dividends.

Joseph Lisanti

We believe the shares fail to reflect the company's market position or growth potential. We believe overall margins have the potential to expand by 50 to 100 basis points over the next several years and operating profits can grow at a low double-digit rate. Earnings per share could expand by a low-teens rate over the next several years.

Howard Rubel

[In Stockholm Ericsson shares were barely changed on the news at 185 crowns.] This is drastic, ... the job cuts are greater than expected.

Doug Smith

I thought if they're going to be making money maybe I should buy some shares to help offset their rising rates. But I'd have to own thousands of shares before I could make up from their dividend payments all the money I'm now having to pay in higher heating bills.

Todd Young

Shares rose because the notice promises measures to develop a more stable capital market and resolve some of the problems faced by struggling firms.

Zhang Qi

Maybe you can make another 50 percent from here, but people are skittish, ... The problem in this market is that everyone's looking for the momentum play. Any sort of fear that a company isn't going to be able to sustain a momentum ends up a reason to dump shares.

Eric Ross

The market seems to be reacting rationally. In panic selling, all the shares would be hit, but the bank counters are up.

Ernie Hon

The correction on the H-shares has been too small.

Ernie Hon

That's how the average person is getting involved (in oil futures). You don't see the dentist from Des Moines buying 100 contracts. It's like buying shares in a mutual fund.

Eric Bolling

If a dog doesn't put you first where are you both? In what relation? A dog needs God. It lives by your glances, your wishes. It even shares your humor. This happens about the fifth year. If it doesn't happen you are only keeping an animal.

Enid Bagnold

I think what makes this a good team is that the chemistry is great. Everybody shares the ball. Nobody cares how many shots they take. We make the extra pass. We don't have big egos on the team. That's the great thing. Everybody does their best to win the game.

Engin Atsur

ZSE is not owned by anyone at the moment but we will be expanding our shareholding by issuing out shares to the public. Listing the ZSE is also a possibility like the case with the Australia and New York stock exchanges.

Emmanuel Munyukwi

He [Ward] focused on the high-end of the market and neglected the low-end shares.

Efraim Levy

Production costs have now become the most important factor for oil companies. They will drag down the shares.

Edwin Slaghekke

Some companies have given disappointing results. Their shares suffer in an environment with risks, including high oil prices and rising interest rates.

Edwin Slaghekke

We think 2001 earnings could be well above the lower end of the Street range, due to higher operating margins and interest income, and modest growth in share count. We think the shares offer exceptional value.

Edward White

Whether what he brings to the table is something that could boost Time Warner's shares remains to be seen.

Ed Maraccini

Expansion via debt is a good move for Chocolates, which has zero debt now. It may put the company on peoples' radar screens more and help its shares gain more value.

Edgar Jimenez

A major momentum play in the region within the past two months is the H shares. We recommend investors take profits when there is still liquidity available.

Eddie Wong

The Chinese market in terms of valuation isn't cheap. It would be best to shift out of H shares into Hong Kong blue-chip stocks.

Eddie Wong

We believe that Tyco's shares are undervalued and ... we have been an active purchaser of our equity.

Ed Breen

As the A-share door opens for overseas investors, the existence of B shares appears to be unnecessary.
