He's becoming strategically complete. The business is undervalued and the stock is growing.
Larry Haverty
Wall Street has a lot of football fans. The Super Bowl indicator might be fun, but I'd put more credence into astrologic market predictors. Any correlation between the stock market and the Super Bowl that can be dug up is just coincidental. There's no way the outcome of the football game has any effect on the stock market.
Jeff Hirsch
The market capitalization increased, and they took advantage of that to do stock swaps to take over companies. They used the stock prices as if they were currency.
Ikuo Yasuda
JGB prices were bearish. This is mainly because stock prices posted strong gains, while most investors are also cautiously awaiting the results of today's 20-year bond auction.
Ryutaro Matsuyama
Investors want to see if the savings are going to justify the hype we're reading about. I don't expect that people will pay for them [potential savings] in advance with higher stock prices.
Chris Mecray
The former is definitely fixed and the latter is less of a concern after what we think was a strong July. We think the stock could quickly get back to $70 [up 27 percent from here] if GTW can just make its third-quarter revenue number ... we're maintaining estimates and raising our target price to $80 from $75.
Kurt King
Given a solid 4Q earnings outlook, the strong brand identity of UPS with retail investors, and pent-up demand for the shares, we would expect the stock could yet trade higher over the next several months on the positive momentum of near-term results.
Scott Flower
Given the company's prior accounting and regulatory issues, this is likely to have a meaningful negative impact on the stock today.
Michael Hecht
With cable stock prices under pressure, business slightly less robust than previously thought, and market concerns about debt loads, now might not be the ideal time for additional mergers.
Frederick Moran
We're good for the first six months of the year, looking at what the economy is doing, at earnings and at inflation, which should pretty well stay at the level it's at right now. We should continue to see stock market gains.
Charles Rotblut
This is good news for investors. For investors that held on, I'm sure they're seeing relief in the stock today.
Michael Koskuba
This shortage is not affecting major projects. Providence Stadium has more than 190 tons of cement in stock and the contractors have enough cement on order from their suppliers to complete the work that they are doing.
Karan Singh
I don't see how Lehman shares can go up meaningfully from here. This is a record valuation for them. A lot of the good news is in the stock price.
Anton Schutz
Well the key basically is the fact that the stock market is in itself cheap. Usually high, by international terms, dividend yields, and the fact that earnings plus growth prospects for the market in general are higher than other emerging markets.
Angus Blair
We won it lock, stock and barrel.
Aaron Meyer
I have to assume that dividends is a big conversation in boardrooms right now. I don't get the sense that companies need all this money for research and development and buying back stock.
James Denney
The stock market was falling due to one reason which is political uncertainty.
Sukbir Khanijoh
True investing is making a commitment to own a company, to participate in its business over the long term and not betting on short-term movements in its stock price. To change our core discipline would dilute our efforts and all that we believe in.
Bob Millen
With fewer trout to stock, everything will be less. We'll need to do a better job with the waters we have. We have to look at the best opportunities for using fish and getting them to where anglers are.
Rick Lorson
The days of multiple expansions due to falling (interest) rates are largely behind us so when it comes to portfolio management, the old strategy of just 'buy the index' doesn't work anymore, ... What you're really coming down to is going back to a very old fashioned stock-by-stock approach to putting together a portfolio.
Kevin Caron
She listens to what the stock market wants more than her father. There's a clear upside to sometimes going with the flow instead of always going against it.
Bengt Carlsson
The bias is still to the downside because no one has spoken in terms of an improved spending environment. The [second-quarter] estimates were fairly high with double-digit earnings growth built into a lot of the models. Without spending picking up, we think estimates have to come down, therefore the valuations come down and the stock prices come down.
Romeo Dator
A lot of people went into retirement with pension funds and stock market investments that they thought would serve them toward the end. They've been in for some pretty rude awakenings.
Bronwyn Belling
Some of them are technology and some of them are non-technology, and all of them are global in their approach, ... There's a commercial benefit to having your name in a local stock market where you want to do business.
Frank Zarb
At 5:30 the morning shift of commissary workers arrive to stock the coffee urns, bring in fresh food and prepare for the daylong job of feeding the humans.
Francis X. Clines
Are supportive of higher stock prices.
Paul Nolte
Our business is booming at the moment. It's actually affecting our stock levels. It was the busiest summer in my six years here. This is the first place I've ever sold cars where no one asks about fuel consumption.
Julian White
Best Buy remains our favorite stock and we would be aggressive buyers at current levels. Even our newly raised estimates could prove to be very conservative as the company rides the digital TV wave, gets an incremental boost from the new video game cycle and starts to improve its operating expense infrastructure.
Scot Ciccarelli
If the price of the stock drops, you could owe more in taxes than the value of the stock.
John Battaglia
Existing members would be able to purchase initial stock in the company if they choose to. This would be the first time that any members have had the opportunity to have financial ownership in the company.
Mark Shobe
With the copper markets and some of the base metals seeing a positive flow of buying interest lately and the U.S. stock market hinting at even better economic conditions ahead, the overall environment for metals is supportive.
Nell Sloane
The bottom line is that the Fed is the stock market's friend and is likely to remain friendly for quite some time.
Jim Griffin
The explosion in the use of stock options in the 1990s cannot be stressed enough.
Martin Conyon
I am not unduly worried about the sale, and we are comfortable with the stock.
Mark Daniels
The trip before, we took 4,000 gallons of fuel, and it was $2.19 per gallon. We had over an $8,000 fuel bill on a $30,000 stock.
Russell Sherman
With recent stock pullbacks and increased data points suggesting a bottoming out of their businesses we believe now is the time to focus more on an investment rather than just a trade.
Nathaniel Cohn
But the overall performance of our funds has a lot to do with our ability to sell funds and maintain our clients, ... Therefore fund performance is critical to the long-term health of Federated stock.
Chris Donahue
The bottom line is that, despite some longer-term issues, we think weak industry sentiment combined with some valid company-specific concerns have pushed the stock lower than is justified. We believe that the near-term positives outweigh the near-term risks.
Benjamin Schachter
75% of actively managed mutual funds under-perform the major indexes. And going it alone without a good plan doesn't work either. Gut-feeling, emotional stock selection strategies offer little chance of obtaining superior returns. Rather they often result in lower returns and much higher levels of risk.
Mark Hing
We think it is a step in the right direction. We think at $33 the stock is undervalued as a public company. There's an enormous amount of land that is not being recognized by being a public company.
Stephanie Tran
Traders were very active in Macquarie Bank, buying into the stock as it broke out of its recent downward trend.
James Foulsham
BHP opened stronger and continued to push higher throughout the day as traders scrambled to get on board as the stock continues to break record high after record high.
James Foulsham
Uncertainty surrounding Oracle's model does not give us confidence that the company can continue to grow earnings at a rate that would drive 20 percent or better stock-price appreciation into 2002.
Christopher Shilakes
From an interest rate differential standpoint, that is positive for the dollar, but higher rates might not be so good for the (U.S.) stock market so we could see some selling of (dollar-denominated) assets.
Hugh Walsh
The market's expecting that the interest rate cycle is close to an end and that's the major driver of stock markets today. With the rate cycle coming to an end, people in the U.S. will have more money to spend.
Agnes Deng
Chevron is a very cheap stock. You have a 3 percent yield, it has the potential to grow 10 percent a year, in terms of earnings. It sells at a discount to the market.
John Shaughnessy
The quarter was no surprise, but the future guidance was very favorable. The forecast of single-digit losses is a sea change for Amazon. We believe this is a key inflection point for the stock and that it will take off from here.
Tom Courtney
This is a serious matter. They're sounding a warning bell to companies that are not following mergers and acquisitions rules…and numbed into thinking they can buy anything they want if their stock is up.
Shuya Nomura
Socially it's a big thing but I don't think this will affect the stock market at the moment. If it escalates further it might but it would have to be a massive escalation for it to really hurt the market.
Teun Draaisma
The stock deserves to go up a bit on this news but in the absence of any economic terms, it's a big guess about how significant this is. I'm not sure if this deal is enough to justify the new stock price.
Rob Sanderson
A stock that's seen a lot of bad news is First Union, ... Here is a great stock with depressed earnings and interest rate fears. When the clouds are darkest, that's when long-term investors can really save for retirement.
David Otto
I can't put too much stock in this. For a small-school guy like myself, to show what I can do in front of all those scouts, it's a good opportunity for me.
Travis Lulay
We are pleased that Thomas Equipment Incorporated has chosen to list at the American Stock Exchange. We hope the company will find our services useful as it strives to meet its objectives in the marketplace.
John Mcgonegal
People are cautious. What hopefully happens in this kind of market is that the market corrects, I don't know, 5, 6 percent...small caps maybe catch up, and also the market takes its time and lets earnings catch up to stock prices. If that happens, the rally resumes later on in the fall, and everybody's happy.
William Mattison
The purchase price represents a nearly 50 percent premium above the company's stock price from the beginning of this year and, more importantly, a more than threefold increase above the stock's $25 per share initial public offering value in 2002.
Mallory Factor
We just scan the breeding stock when they are at a young age - about market weight - and select those that have higher levels of intramuscular fat to produce the next generation of pigs.
Doyle Wilson
Certainly a lot of succession transactions occur at market value. Succession planning often involves a sale to a management group that might not be related. Sometimes it involves the outright sale of the company. An employee stock ownership plan is also an option.
Brent Carey
We're not putting any stock in any polls right now. The only poll that matters is the one on Election Day.
Chris Ingram
We think the stock is undervalued at current levels but there is no other reason for the sudden jump in the stock price.
Adrian Gonzalez
If powerful upward earnings estimate revisions have not been able to drive equity prices higher, we suspect that downward momentum in such estimate revisions may cause further stock market weakness to emerge in the next few months.
Tobias Levkovich
It's a terminal loss of influence for the shareholders of the London Stock exchange, ... They get an 18.5 percent stake in a tightly controlled company. In addition, it does nothing for them as a customers.
Don Cruickshank
We frankly have given up on this stock, ... This is the second time around and we think it is going to take a long time for this stock to repair itself.
Lawrence Cohn
The risks are still significant across the company?s key growth drivers, and it is just very difficult for us to get very aggressive with the stock either way at current levels.
Marc Goodman
People come here for peace and quiet, ... They come to be refreshed or to take stock of their lives.
John Cullen
We believe Green Cove Springs provides Stock with the advantages to serve a larger market area in North Florida and South Georgia and we're anxious to get started.
Andrew Ferguson
Although we continue to rate Hershey overweight, we believe the stock could see some pressure today given the deceleration in organic sales growth relative to recent quarters and lower than expected gross margins.
Pablo Zuanic
This type of concentration means you have to be an excellent stock picker, something that many professionals wouldn't try.
Barbara Steinmetz
The medium has a self-policing aspect. If you come into a chat and spout off about a stock and it's not true, a lot of people will catch that.
David P. Gardner
The high oil price can't be ignored and it is starting to have a negative impact on consumption in the U.S.. Oil will remain the biggest risk for the stock market.
Choi Chang Hoon
This stock is up on potential takeover rumors.
Scott Appleby
The outlook for technology companies remains strong and demand for shares in the sector helped lift stock indexes late this afternoon.
Larry Peruzzi
[HOT SECTORS. As a stock-picker, he likes Japanese banks, brokerages, and insurance companies.] Financials are a good way for investors to participate in a restructured and reflated Japan, ... There's a lot of potential for growth here. Japanese consumers are one of the most underserved communities of wealthy people on the planet.
Mark Headley
I'd hesitate to characterize this is as comparable to what was going on in the late 1990s. Not every Internet stock is doing well.
Scott Kessler
A lesson that finance professionals had to relearn after Enron is making sure you understand how the company makes money and making sure you understand why you own stock or bond of a particular company.
Derek Hong
Like those players in the bond market, stock players may have begun to factor in rate hikes in the future.
Ryuta Otsuka
The evidence points in the direction that her brokers informed [Stewart], at a minimum, that the Waksal family was trading its stock because of impending news, and we think that's why she should come forward and talk to us.
Jim Greenwood
[Amgen's] going to use every means at its disposal to protect its intellectual property rights and keep Roche off the market. We'll have to see how the courts interpret it, of course. This is a very real risk to the stock.
Chris Raymond
If the equity markets have been reluctant to reward the stock for cash you have on [the] balance sheet, for organic growth you can generate, then the only other alternative to reward shareholders is to use a special dividend. They have [the] balance sheet to tolerate it.
Bishop Cheen
I think that as I've asked the stock exchange several months ago, they're taking a good, hard look at the way their board is organized, I hope the way the compensation structure is organized, ... We'll see what they come up with.
William Donaldson
I had just got my license, and my dad was real proud of me for it, so he let me drive his pure stock car, ... I was kind of nervous, having not driven before . . . and I ended up wrecking the car. Needless to say, I had to buy my own race cars and stuff like that afterwards.
Duane Campbell
Consumers continue to be optimistic about the economy here in Florida. The employment situation here in Florida is better than it has been in decades, at least in terms of people having jobs. The stock market had a pretty good run in January, too, ending near 11,000.
Chris Mccarty
We saw Republic stock fall from $29 down to $19 and work back up to $29. But you didn't know where Republic stock was going to end up when this deal was finished.
Jeffrey Kessler
Supply is going to be an issue that will be an overhang for the stock.
David Menlow
Any change to media ownership rules would impact on them but it is also true the stock has been oversold of late.
Michael Heffernan
Finally we got a calm day to recoup. Yesterday, with stock markets down all around the world overnight and the release of the Clinton tapes, that caused a tremendous bid for the bond.
David Horner
Looks like the stock market has gotten off on positive footing after yesterday's broad-based decline. We're seeing gains in eight of 10 S&P sectors. The data that came out so far was pretty much in line with expectations. Looking ahead, investors will be keeping an eye on auto sales.
Michael Sheldon
The big deal for us is housing stock. I think New Orleans is going to be very much a smaller city than it was.
Michael Olivier
If you bought the stock because you liked the fundamentals, you'll want to stick with it.
Paul Cherney
The stock has been beaten up too much. It's a good buy right here.
Patrick Mason
If a large holder is giving up on Exxon, a large holder gives up on a blue-chip stock.
James Monaghan
The schedule prepared by the directors and sent for confirmation anticipates a launch on the stock market in July.
Sergei Bogdanchikov
We know this is by far the best oil company in the world. Will it be the best stock? The main point is this: more than ever the new CEO has re-affirmed XOM as the key play into a downturn. Up cycles will build cash, even if it drags on returns. Oil is weak for now (through Q1 results).
Paul Sankey
(New Century Financial) has tripled since September 4, ... My sources say the stock has a ways to run because of the 'E' in the P/E (ratio); the 'P' is very low, the 'E,' the earnings, are ramping up and the price is lagging, according to one expert on the stock.
Gene Marcial
The issue is whether the regulatory unit of the New York Stock Exchange will survive. It's not just fighting for recognition; it's fighting for survival.
Bill Singer
Small investors who entered the market on the back of last year's spectacular gains lack any background of investing in shares. If they are looking for a guaranteed return they should look elsewhere than the risky stock market. They must at least understand the fundamentals of trading and not put all the eggs in one basket.
Nashwa Saleh
I think the stock will recover.
Shiv Kapoor
The stock pumped up a bit towards the end of the day when the rumor started circulating.
Ric Klusman
Signs that the U.S. stock scene is improving really helps lift spirits at home.
Masaaki Higashida
This reinforces the board's view that the London Stock Exchange is not up for sale.
Don Cruickshank
Basically for the nine months, they're doing close to a billion dollars in sales. A very strong book-to-bill (ratio, which measures orders versus shipments). I think this stock offers a lot of appreciation potential over the next year.
Terence Gabriel
I agree with them, the stock has languished.
Frank Biondi
There's a lot of competition in the banking sector and the bank's recovery is quite slow so I'm not too bullish on this stock.
George Chan
We believe that this program is in the best interest of our shareholders and we expect that it will offset a substantial part of the dilution associated with the company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans.
Sean Lance
No matter how old you are, there are things you can pick up to round out your stocking.
Jeff Lenard
The stock market may be uncertain about the economy, but venture capitalists aren't. They're betting on the future.
Tracy Lefteroff
They will be the largest cable provider, ... They have the AT&T brand, which we think will mean a lot when trying to sell additional services to customers. That is ?a stock that we would buy today.
Linda Bannister
The only thing that is going to hurt them now is to raise their bid. That would destroy their stock price.
Philip Wohl
At the margin, it's not helpful to the stock-price performance.
David Abella
The company has lost credibility and if they were to disappoint this quarter, it would be a serious blow to the stock and I would have to question owning it going forward.
Ted Parrish
We believe Cisco will not meet consensus revenue estimates in fiscal 2002 and expect it will no longer be able to rely on appreciating stock as a currency.
Steve Kamman
The Bermuda grass stock has risen. Everyone we talked to in Baltimore loved the grass and had not encountered any problems with it.
Jay Cooperider
Everything in this country other than stocks sells for dollars and cents. It's easier for a consumer to understand a stock price of $20.50 than one of 20-5/8.
Jeff Duncan
While it is conceivable that Stern would sell some shares to cover his multimillion dollar tax bill on the shares, it is unlikely in our opinion that he would unload all of the shares in the short run since the company is in a high growth phase where stock returns are likely to be the highest and perhaps may generate higher returns than other investment options.
Susan Kalla
From our point of view, if you have a company which is uniquely tied up with one personality, and something happens to it where that personality is not going to be effective, the reason to own the stock is strongly diminished.
Ralph Wanger
High quality media companies are doing well fundamentally but have done poorly in the stock market. That's not something that can last forever. At some point, it will turn.
Henry Berghoef
Excluded by my birth and tastes from the social order, I was not aware of its diversity. Nothing in the world was irrelevant: the stars on a general's sleeve, the stock-market quotations, the olive harvest, the style of the judiciary, the wheat exchange, flower-beds. Nothing. This order, fearful and feared, whose details were all inter-related, had a meaning: my exile.
Jean Genet
They made a lot of money and Sibley got into agriculture - his first love - and began grafting, seed testing and raising horses. He created such a good stock of trotting horses and Jersey cattle that they would set records across the country. ...He had a great affection for that, which came from the soil.
Jack Baker
Sure, lower rates might offer another brief respite in an environment that has seen increasing dollops of profit-warnings and negative economic news recently, but when that is all said and done, a poor operating environment is unlikely to be a boon for corporate profits -- or U.S. shares prices -- in the months ahead, ... The New Laws of the Stock Market Jungle.
Michael Panzner
The strong growth figures for China are not translating into the rises in earnings per share as we would expect to see, because of widespread margin pressure. We are seeing a supply overhang emerging in the stock market, caused by the Chinese government's methodical divestiture from its considerable stock holdings.
Lorraine Tan
Economic activities nowadays greatly depend on information systems and ensuring their credibility is an important task, as recent glitches at the Tokyo Stock Exchange proved.
Toshihiro Nikai
We don't put much stock in how much money we have.
Nick Ayers
The major brand names housed in Europe will continue to respond favorably to global economic growth. We expect more stock gains.
Andrew Popper
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
Peter Lynch
Since the early '90s, Duke has been helping stabilize neighborhoods near campus by increasing the stock of owner-occupied housing.
John Burness
There is certainly no fresh concern or panic at the FA today in light of the statement issued to the Australian Stock Exchange overnight.
Adrian Bevington
We are still quite strong in spite of expectations for product stock builds. Question marks over Nigeria and Iran and the effects of cold weather in Russia, which have reduced exports, are providing a lot of support.
Christopher Bellew
They threw in the stock buyback to balance out the bad news, ... People are just going to write off 1999 as a lost year for them and just focus on their year 2000 estimate.
Stephen Klein
The valuations for technology companies are very high. Why would you pay cash for that, why not pay with another inflated stock?
Ullas Naik
Frankly, I would say that the trend of ongoing pressure from Asia isn't a particular surprise. The great percentage of the impact from Asia has probably already been felt in Boeing's stock price, but there will be some residual delay associated with earnings.
Howard Rubel
The results for a lot of these (Internet) companies will be good from a top-line view. But I don't know that it follows that the stock will necessarily perform better.
Mark Cavallone
Every time you issue a security, there needs to be a federal and state exemption. Otherwise, there could be a problem down the road if the stock is sold. You can't just print up the stock certificates.
Susan Mac Cormac
It was the third year in a row where the health of the pension plans improved. Of course, if interest rates continue to go up and if the stock market keeps going up, the plans will get even healthier this year.
David Zion
I think there's a pretty good chance they could hold [the dividend], and if this happens we'll continue to hold the stock. But at the first sniff of a dividend cut, we'll be immediate sellers. I think you'd see a mass exodus from the stock in that case.
Matt Kelmon
Technically, the stock is very much oversold.
Leo Venezuela
The financial world has taken stock of Kmart and Sears and Sears Holdings Corporation. I'm sure this will cement it.
Brian Hawkins
The rest of the market, gasoline and heating oil, is carrying crude at the moment, and the data on the crude stock draw also helped.
Mike Fitzpatrick
I think it's going to be very bad for their stock tomorrow. But the fact that they decided to hold a conference call for the first time indicates they are going to be more open with Wall Street in the future, which will help.
Laura Martin
Results expectations have started building in the stock prices. One needs to be cautious at these levels and trade with strict stop losses.
Jignesh Shah
I would contend that our children are as important to the future of the country as the economy. The stock market will never depend on it, but I hope the report will annually at least focus attention on the status and condition of our children.
Duane Alexander
Before a fisheries manager had to think long and hard before introducing a new species ... by making fish sterile we can make a mistake and still reverse it. If it doesn't work, we don't stock it anymore and it disappears.
Doug Nygren
It's patented and they do enforce it. Years ago, you could keep your own stock plants and take cuttings off them, but that's not the case anymore. Everything has changed.
Bob Fernau
We're not going to stock the latest DVD that you can get at Blockbuster. Our mission drives what we buy.
Willie Nelms
You probably had accounts buying the stock ahead of this deal, hoping it would be more prolific and dynamic than what it was ... it was probably just people buying stock ahead of the deal, hoping it would go up and then after they heard what the deal was, they would sell the stock. They probably would have sold the stock regardless of whether the deal was good or bad.
Ty Carmichael
I think he's still concerned to keep the stock market afloat and to hold down bond yields. He's going to be more inclined to talk the markets up rather than down.
Mark Cliffe
Shareholders have lost total confidence in management because the stock has underperformed the S&P 500 (stock index) by 45 percent.
Gary Black
We still saw growth last year even with higher oil prices. Countries have adjusted, with interest rates still low and structural reforms proceeding. Risk premiums continue to fall, making stock markets more attractive.
Luz Lorenzo
We don't yet believe that consumer spending is going to slow dramatically even though there has been a lot of volatility in the stock market. Obviously there are a lot of investors out there who were sitting on big losses from stocks they bought from February through March. But we still see the economy as moving along strongly.
Terence Gabriel
I feel really proud to be one of the chosen anglers on Wal-Mart's first-ever sponsor team. Wal-Mart is the nation's leading retailer, and I strongly believe in them. I've been buying Wal-Mart stock for many, many years.
George Cochran
Neither an assembly line nor a stock market nor an oil well did it, simply what came from one small skull and that one right hand.
Ilka Chase
Volkswagen is turning from the most-hated car stock into everybody's darling. Volkswagen must be completely reassessed. The shares have room to rise.
Stefan Bauknecht
My housing stock is just about maxed out. There are a couple of homes that are very, very expensive, in the $200,000 to $300,000-plus range, with the balance being very old structures that need complete renovation.
Kip Petersen
It's a stock which is not treading much volume these days, but it does move in quite large swings.
Grant Williamson
He is asking kind of rhetorically when we will know when the stock markets or other markets are subject to irrational exuberance. Now, everyone pretty quickly figured out, or assumed that he was really talking about the US and I think he was concerned that the stock market was getting too high and in retrospect that was only the very beginning of the bubble.
Jeffrey Frankel
That will surprise the Street and lead to a higher stock price.
Chris Grisanti
I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.
Peter Lynch
As a result of our strong cash flow and continued efforts to strengthen our balance sheet we improved our year-over-year debt, net of cash position by $300 million despite having repurchased $31.8 million of common stock year to date.
David Hargreaves
No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace, is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas.
Alfred E. Smith
The company he envisions is small enough to avoid antitrust issues, but big enough to be a real player, ... I'd buy stock in that kind of company.
Timothy Ghriskey
The stock last week got up to almost $80 a share.
James Gelly
The crisis of diesel should not be seen as scanty stock.
Mahmudur Rahman
The key is the stock market reaction.
Chris Rupkey
The company has so far given no indication about plans for a stock split. But whether someday we're at a Berkshire Hathaway stock price, who knows?
Martin Pyykkonen
The low turnover apparently reflected cautiousness on the part of investors who preferred to stick to their stock holdings at this juncture.
Nabil Daaboub
We see many of the same characteristics in this stock that we saw in America Online back in 1995. A great management team, a huge market opportunity, an obsessive focus on customers, an unusual and misunderstood business model, and dysfunctional competitors.
Scott Reamer
The company's excellent financial performance, including 16 consecutive quarters of revenue and profit growth, and the successful expansion of its retail and wholesale businesses, has not been reflected in our recent stock price performance.
Charles Koppelman
In an ideal world, I wish they didn't have [the Discover card]. It gave the bank some support during the stock market downturn, but now it's lagging behind.
Jeff Harte
We're not only concerned about what kind of price we get for the shares, but what the stock will do after we go out.
Terry Kinninger
Next year we're likely to see continued deceleration in mobile systems revenue growth and a further decline in operating profitability due to increased spending associated with 3G. That's going to be a difficult environment for the stock.
Jeffrey Schlesinger
We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
Charles Caleb Colton
Even if the auction does not go to where some people expected it to, the stock had a great run up. I just don't see a lot of upside at this point.
John Mcmillin
All M&A news is strong support for the stock market. European shares remain attractive. Productivity gains will allow European companies to have good earnings in 2006.
Guillaume Duchesne
Freddy funds his plan through a nearly $1 billion property tax hike. Coupled with his stock-transfer tax to fix the schools, it seems there is no problem that higher taxes can't solve.
Stu Loeser
Growth going forward is becoming the big issue for stock investors. Things are still OK on the earnings front, but some companies are beginning to be more conservative with their guidance.
Owen Fitzpatrick
The G7 statement clarified Japan's problems --- the out-of-dated tax system (which deters the flow of capital into the stock market) and lack of support from monetary policy to encourage banks to write off their bad loans.
Masaaki Higashida
Microsoft is a company that has reached the maturation of its cycle. That doesn't make it a bad stock but it's just not the growth stock it was in the late 1990s.
Stephen Mergler
So, the longer-term story looks great for Applied Materials. It just may be a bit overheated here. If we were to get about a 20 percent pullback in this stock, I think it would be very attractive.
Terence Gabriel
I do think that has raised his stock. I think he's showing what his commitment is to the community.
Anne Swager
As we hire rapidly to scale up the company, it is natural to issue a larger number of stock awards than we would otherwise. The cost to the company of these stock awards occurs only over the periods the awards vest, which is when the employees earn the related benefit.
Steve Langdon
Until we get more clarity for further resolution to the investigation, it will be difficult for the stock to move forward. Our net view is that we expect it to trade in a pretty tight range now.
William Power
