This is really a stock picker's market and not an index picker's market. I'm not buying stocks on a group's performance ever.

Marc Gabelli

We're facing the realization that rising (interest) rates and rising stock prices are incompatible. The higher rates are really starting to make themselves felt.

Richard Cripps

At a time when 6.5 million Californians cannot afford their health care and millions more are underinsured, it is obscene to allow executives to feed at the trough of huge cash and stock payouts.

Jerry Flanagan

I am, of course, deeply troubled that anyone would threaten me personally for challenging the New York Stock Exchange in its proposed plans to merge with Archipelago Holdings.

William Higgins

I would think that that stock would be held in a lot of index-type accounts that probably can't own a lot more American paper than they already do.

Rick Hutcheon

Friends and family allocations of new (stock) issues goes on every day all over the country. Some people think it's fair and some people think it's an abuse, but it happens and there's a lot of gray areas when it comes to these situations. I'm sure the defense had experts prepared to testify that this . . . is a routine part of the modern business world.

Craig Silverman

Though painful, Intel has completed a difficult 1999 transition year, and is now poised to demonstrate both its technology and manufacturing prowess - traits that enabled Intel's stock to double in prior cycles.

Charlie Glavin

Indications are that the software market is improving and this is not commensurate with what the stock is doing. It's just a painful thing to keep reading about this soap opera.

Robert Mattson

Stock markets can still rise. Earnings are still growing. Investors shouldn't be worried about slightly slowing earnings growth.

Guenther Gerstenberger

It's a positive move that shows the company is no longer an old-style family-run business. Dilution of the stock is a necessary evil. It's better than going belly-up.

Naoki Fujiwara

We think the stock market will now turn its attention to the unfolding cyclical turnaround in the Mexican economy.

Todd Edwards

Everything is bottom-up (stock picking), everything is fundamental, everything is analyzed intensely. Everybody (on the team) is smarter than me and everybody has more expertise than me.

Stephen Silverman

This will surely be a year of takeovers. Markets will benefit as companies buy growth. Stock prices are rising, but profit is rising in the same measure.

Thomas Koerfgen

Honda, which achieved profit increases amid higher fuel prices and U.S. interest rates, will become even more popular following the stock split.

Shigemi Nonaka

It is highly likely that the 2 trillion yen buying in August reflected the market's expectations that Koizumi's victory will support the stock market, and that foreign buying could take a respite this month.

Osamu Takashima

The London Stock Exchange is not up for sale.

Don Cruickshank

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

In many respects, you've left fundamentals land and have entered expectations land. Fundamentals can improve and the stock can trade off if expectations aren't met.

Mark Mahaney

Technology products are driving our sales. The really hot products at the moment are the digital cameras and MP3 players. We stock every new technology product that comes out and they are really belting out the door.

Gerry Harvey

It's tempting to think things are out of control or that it's a stock bubble.

Jim Friedland

Tech earnings are improving, and the reality is that stock prices always move ahead of fundamentals. That's what they do. They are predictive instruments.

Todd Campbell

As long as Amazon is showing continued strength on the top and bottom line and the overall market is picking up momentum, this stock will participate in the rally.

Todd Campbell

The PBR brings out the best of the best in the world. And these are the best bulls. They only take the top 10 bulls out of every stock contractor that haul to this deal.

Scott Ashley

It is going to give access to immediate availability for everything that is configured on the Internet. If you want to have stock market quotes from London, by the push of a button you are going to be there. It's instant access.

Anssi Vanjoki

These rigid percentage caps on stock create all kinds of problems. You're discouraging employer matching, and you're imposing rules on how individuals should invest their money.

James Klein

Although the results are positive for the stock market, the BUX is ripe for a downward correction in view of the strong rally of recent weeks.

Gyorgy Barcza

He led by example. The details of the game -- if you get to maybe a certain pay level or a certain point in your life where you don't have to do something, Ronnie seemed to put more stock in doing those things. That's what made him a great leader.

Paul Maurice

A stock exchange that can't carry on trading simply doesn't deserve to exist. The exchange should make it a top priority to bring business back to normal.

Kaoru Yosano

[But one observer expects a pause.] I suspect we're really reaching a bubble in tech stock conditions, ... It is a herd mentality. You run the risk of really being whipsawed here.

Peter Andersen

The $54 price objective represents 17 times 2002 estimated revenue. The stock currently trades at 28 times 2001 revenue, implying a multiple contraction.

Thomas Watts

A lot of today's trade is based off the stock market.

Jeff Palma

When a star falls, there is a run in the night's stocking.

Ramon Gomez De La Serna

Anything that hints of a weaker top line doesn't play too well with the Street. We believe there's a tad bit of disconnect, and the modest contraction in the stock has created a good buying opportunity.

John Boris

I'm going to be especially interested if the stock can sustain any upside moves behind the earnings report that is expected to be very good.

Clark Yingst

Yahoo is operating on revenues of about $25 million. I have them on a hold rating right now because I'm scared at the valuation of their stock. But people want to invest in the Web and the branded franchise name, and Yahoo is the franchise leader.

David Readerman

Some of the guys had already shaved their heads and had to wear stocking caps during a conditioning practice so that he wouldn't be able to tell. After practice, we brought him into the locker room and showed him what some of the guys had done and brought out some clippers and we all shaved our heads right there.

Jay Brant

Right now, you're talking to a company that 60 days ago had stock trading in the 12 to 14 cents range.

David Pohl

This time around, my guess is that the lead may end up being shorter than the historic average, ... I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the stock market being an almost coincident indicator.

Sung Won Sohn

If you look at what is popular in Korea with the early adopters of technology, we expect these to be very similar [in the Mainland]. In Korea, wireless stock trading and messaging have been very popular.

Bertrand Bidaud

The stock is now trading at 42 times next year's earnings estimates, a huge discount to where it has traded over the last six months.

Neil Herman

They would add beef stew meat or roasted beef bones, so you'd have beef stock flavored with crab, which gave it a really good taste.

John Shields

The stock market is very resilient. Earnings remain fairly strong, and stocks are still inexpensive when compared with other asset classes.

Rick Campagna

The country has rich information technology capabilities, a vast pool of software engineers and a huge untapped agricultural potential in a very profitable niche area. The country also boasts a large stock of a literate and skilled work force, where education is free until the age of 16.

George Hardy

They need to do something. The stock has been stuck in this horrible little range.

Richard Steinberg

The (stock) market is saying gee, we were kind of hoping the Fed would say that the economy's doing so well that we don't need to cut rates right now.

James Griffin

Massachusetts pharmacies are required to stock all medications that are commonly prescribed to meet the usual needs of the community.

Sam Perkins

Doing this AOL deal is on the way, but not enough, to enhancing shareholder value at Time Warner, ... It proves my point that there is a great deal of unrealized value here. The best investment the company can make is in their own stock at this time.

Carl Icahn

I don't know what point it was, but we decided not to defend any more. At some point we have to decide if we want to come together and do something, instead of being the laughing stock of Western Conference.

Damien Wilkins

That's right, a buy on Kmart. The 'buy' rating reflects [Kmart's] asset values we believe provide support for the stock at this level. Combined with strong positive cash flow, this implies the stock is undervalued.

Gary Balter

In general, institutional investors aren't sold on the (stock) market going higher, even with the pullback in oil.

Michael James

The stock has gotten a lot cheaper.

Jason Kantor

That's the major driver of stock markets today. The rising interest rate cycle is close to an end.

Agnes Deng

It's a nice win for Merck, ... It will provide a nice floor for the stock going forward, and for all drug stocks, which will provide a nice lift to the overall market.

Tim Biggam

My sense is that the stock is going to stabilize here. You get much lower than this and it starts to get to be real overreaction.

Christopher Mecray

Analysts, me included, had left the door wide open for Nokia to raise the revenue outlook given how the dollar has strengthened. That expectation had been built into the stock.

John Bucher

It would require more hands to manage a stock of sheep, gather them from the hills, force them into houses and folds, and drive them to markets, than the profits of the whole stock were capable of maintaining.

James Hogg

We're not recommending the purchase of it, but I do think the worse is probably behind it. I do think there is probably a bounce due in the stock.

Jim Waggoner

While the quarter's financials are important, the stock performance keys off the PeopleSoft decision. A resolution will be positive one way or another.

Gary Abbott

It's making the Dow more meaningful, more representative of the stock market.

Spiros Segalas

We're not telling people to rush out and buy. We still see a gradual erosion of the multiple, a certain amount of disillusionment with management, a lag in earnings relative to the economic recovery and corporate spending. If people think we're turning positive on the stock, we're not.

Ariane Mahler

There's some discipline in that because many investors have some problem knowing when to sell stock.

Brad Zigler

We regard the shares as inexpensive and believe that just placing a market multiple on its free-cash-flow a few years out yields substantial upside in the stock.

Douglas Shapiro

With the overhanging cloud of the Iraqi situation, renewed fears of terrorism and tensions with North Korea, this market breeds fear, and fear drives stock prices lower.

John Person

The stock market, believe it or not, is finally acting rationally. The market itself, which is a collection of what everyone thinks at any moment in time, is doing what it should be doing... I think it's a very healthy correction.

William Mattison

The American Stock Exchange takes pleasure in welcoming India Globalization to our market. Numerous companies in the early stages of their growth have found our specialized services useful, and we expect that India Globalization will find value in all that we offer to our new issuers.

John Mcgonegal

Every week we are meeting with U.S. investors precisely because we do not want to generate nervousness, and so far the Mexican stock market has not changed greatly. We are going to be very prudent to transmit a message of calm.

Camacho Solis

We are now a large step closer to locating the prime spawning grounds and predicting which part of the [prawn] stock is contributing to next year's harvest. Management strategies can then be developed to protect this part of the stock and help ensure the sustainability of the fishery.

Scott Condie

If you price it that high above range, there is hot demand. That means there was some good institutional backing to buy blocks of that stock.

Jeffrey R. Hirschkorn

Microsoft giving away its browser is a huge, huge problem, one that is extremely difficult for Netscape to overcome, ... I think the stock is overvalued, even at these prices.

Bruce Smith

Many Internet companies this fund won't own, ... But the Internet is a very, very important part of the economy going forward, and if I can find unique value with downside protection in an Internet stock, I will buy it.

David Decker

One of the key concerns of the Fed has been the wealth effect that the stock market has created. And with the market that we saw this morning, we're likely to see more volatility going forward, especially if it leads to more muted market activity on the return side.

Walt Czaicki

It's unclear when the Fed will stop raising interest rates. Even if the rate hike comes to an end, Hong Kong's stock market may not rebound immediately.

Louis Wong

In a normal week, these numbers would be positive enough to trigger a rally in stocks. But with the two hurricanes, oil data has become very volatile and the same has applied to the stock market reaction to the data.

Larry Peruzzi

(The market is) very quiet, choppy, very, very volatile. There are a number of players that have already exited ahead of Christmas. In consequence, very little is going on so it doesn't take much to move the stock either way, up or down.

Irwin Michael

It would delight Van Miller if someone retires from here with their stock value being somewhere equal value to their 401(k).

Jim Walsh

Early polls bounce all over the place. We just don't put a whole lot of stock in polls.

Albert Martinez

There are not a lot of opportunities in tech that are wholly secular plays as opposed to cyclical plays, ... This is a great company and a great stock.

Scott Kessler

Why are we downgrading the stock now? Mainly because of our belief that sales may not be advancing at the rate that we had previously anticipated and also because of the impending departure of Galli.

Tom Courtney

Obviously these guys are really aggressive. They want to utilize their biggest asset, their stock price.

James Preissler

With those companies growing revenues faster than Oracle, it is no surprise to us that Oracle's stock finally came under pressure.

Kevin Buttigieg

Investors are reevaluating risk in the region and reducing their investments. Brazil ends up being the most affected because it has the most liquid stock market.

Paulo De Sa

When you sell stock to the customers, they breed business.

Nigel Harrison

IBM is going to have another negative effect in the broader market. It's a major stock.

Andre Bakhos

Foreign investors are playing a bigger and bigger role in our stock market and in helping the rand stay strong.

Paul Hansen

With the prospect of relatively slow top-line growth over the next two quarters, we believe the upside in the stock is limited.

William Becklean

They look nice, they're cute and they make great stocking stuffers.

Brenda White

Considering that we spent more on marketing in the digital media sector and set aside 1.3 trillion won in incentives for our employees after scrapping stock options, our actual operating profit should be around 2.8 trillion won.

Chu Woo Sik

Even after all of the sales that have taken place, (CEO) Bob Toll still owns about $1.2 billion, plus or minus, in company stock and options. Any investment adviser would tell Bob Toll that he should be diversifying to an even greater extent than he is.

Joel Rassman

A month ago, with the figures Deutsche Bank reported today, its stock would have been down about nine or 10 percent.

Lex Werkheim

Thus, we regard the ruling as an incremental positive for the stock.

Henry Blodget

The stock market had been weak due to the Wall Street performance and concerns about Asian economies. The ratings news helped to push the stocks down slightly, but it wasn't the driving force. For a change, Argentina had no negative influence.

Helio Ozaki

I think the stock market is digesting a very strong end of the year.

Ben Halliburton

Investors bought into Hilton's strategy of selling assets, buying back stock and moving to a more fee-based business ... This would be a dramatic shift in strategy.

Robert Lafleur

Our business continues to be negatively impacted by the ongoing uncertainty related to the investigations into the sale of non-Company stock by Martha Stewart. Until this situation is resolved, we will likely continue to face challenges throughout our businesses.

Sharon Patrick

I wouldn't say that was a bad deal. I shorted it because I knew that if anything happened to cast doubt on its future growth rate, the stock would go down.

Paul Mcentire

You're issuing 13 percent of Disney (stock) to buy a company that has a good record but a small company. I'm in the camp that says it may not be that necessary.

Mario Gabelli

We spent all spring without Andrea Rice and Noelle Tyre because they spent the semester studying abroad, so their personalities and talent back in the lineup will help a lot. We are looking for Sarah Stock to have a big year – she scored some very important goals last season.

Julie Orlowski

[Meanwhile, the financial froth of speculative bubbles--and their dangers--are another enduring legacy of the Greenspan era.] Irrational exuberance really is still with us, ... risk that in 2010 or even 2015, the stock market will be lower still in real, inflation-corrected terms, than it was in 2005.

Robert J. Shiller

The recovery plan does foresee a return to profitability and some upsides for the employees through profit sharing and stock options. What the unions asked was, 'What if the company becomes wildly profitable, beyond any projection.' We said that's a legitimate issue. That [return to investment grade debt] would signify things are very different than they are today, performing well above plan.

Bruce Hicks

(The stock) is trading at very low multiples. It suggests that the market was anticipating that not all the bad news was out.

Andrea Horan

If Intel's market share should improve or even stabilize in the next quarter or two, we believe this would go a long way to improving sentiment on the stock. Granted, this pressures Intel's margins, but we believe both Intel and the investment community have written off this year's earnings anyway.

Terry Ragsdale

Unfortunately for him, if he were to step down, the stock would respond positively.

Christine Chen

It's a drop in the bucket. It's helping the stock price today, but gastric cancer is not one of the biggest markets for cancer.

Gbola Amusa

It's tough to call. I can say that in the long term, Atlantic Coast is a very interesting growth story, a lot of potential, but there are a lot of uncertainties since it is a high p/e (price to earnings ratio) stock.

Michael Linenberg

While the U.S. still dominates the list, 2006 really belongs to some of the more emerging markets. And no country speaks to that more than India. With its stock market up more than 50 percent in the past 12 months, India is home to 10 new faces.

Luisa Kroll

Stock investors have concluded that the economy was in good shape before Hurricane's Katrina and Rita, and that it has come through the storms in reasonably good shape, with the exception of oil.

James Awad

The stock market turns down six to eight months before the economy. We're concerned about the stock market and about as defensive as we can get.

Andrew Engel

Sumitomo Mitsui stock outperformed even after the offer was announced. That means investors are confident in the bank's business outlook.

Wataru Kasatani

The big media players will ultimately have higher stock prices but it's getting out from all these challenges both on the advertising side and the content side that is causing some stagnation in the shares.

James Goss

As investors begin to focus on fiscal year 2007 and estimates continue to move higher, the stock should continue to outperform.

Adam Holt

There's a tremendous price war going on. E*Trade's strategy is not to make money on the $10 they charge to buy and sell a stock, but to make money on the margin balances.

Larry Tabb

There are a lot of people who are fully vested and have a lot of stock options and they keep thinking 'what if the stock goes up,' ... But the key is, are you happy with what you are doing?'

Ron Krannich

We beat our expectations in the run up to Christmas and this time last year we had particularly high stock levels leading to a bigger clearance.

Simon Wolfson

Here we are in the midst of a revolution in Israeli politics. Our great national leader is crippled?and there is no crisis. Power is passed quietly. Our enemies don't stir. Our stock market barely moves. It says a lot for the strength of our democracy.

Avi Dichter

It fell when we had the maximum amount of our stock.

Dave Read

The stock traded down a little bit, ... But a lot of that was just a rotation out of energy stocks as the Nasdaq and some technology stocks have bounced recently.

Ryan Crane

Microsoft just made a new 12-month low ... the stock has been stuck in reverse to neutral for some time. It has a lot of weight in the Nasdaq, and that's one of the things that we see as a disadvantage to looking at the Nasdaq.

Bruce Zaro

The hotel business is on fire. I mean, you look at every major city, and the Four Seasons continues to widen its gap over Ritz-Carlton and other premium brands that are out there. But the reality is, you know, the stock is trading at a huge valuation multiple, over 20 times cash flow.

Jason Ader

He was standing in stocking feet during the national anthem when the guy ran in with the sneakers. His focus wasn't real strong that night on his part. He didn't have one of his better games because that was distraction to him.

Lou Panzanaro

You want to own a stock at the beginning of a product cycle.

Frank Gannon

The next step is what happens in people that have some kind of alteration or damage to that part of the brain. Does that explain why some people are addicted to the stock market and make the wrong choices all the time?

Paul Sanberg

Return expectations need to be toned down this year and one will have to be really choosy in stock selection.

Mihir Vora

The only thing the stock could trade on would be phantom news, news from the construction site, whether or not it's on budget or if there's going to be a delay.

Daniel Davila

Prices are back on track. The stock market fell back Monday in a technical adjustment after some stocks closed 1998 higher.

Carlos Lupini

People ask, are you still a growth stock? Compared to these guys, yes we are.

John Connors

I'm not going to put any stock in a poll that asks voters what they think of a hypothetical ballot matchup that is 14 months and three statewide campaigns away. We've got to get through the special election, the Democratic primary and then a hypothetical general election.

Todd Harris

With a 'C' corporation, you can easily give different heirs different amounts of stock, or different type of stock -- voting shares to one person, non-voting shares to another, ... There's much more flexibility.

Susan Jacksack

The benefits of this merger are compelling for the stockholders of both MCI and WorldCom -- powerful synergies and ownership in the best performing communications stock over the past decade. This merger is about growth -- value for stockholders, enhanced products and services for customers and new opportunities for employees.

Bernard J. Ebbers

We?re in it for the long term. We expect to hold a stock at least five or 10 years.

Martin Bates

The volatility that we've had in the stock market is higher than we've been accustomed to over the past several months. We've now finally broken into the range where the moves are greater than 1 percent, but as long as they're not 2 percent or 3 percent, we're not in that range where you would start to call them extraordinary.

Jim Bianco

We don't have a lot of information today. I think today is probably a quiet day depending on what the stock market does.

Bruce Alston

Volkswagen still has room to rise. We fund managers love Volkswagen now. The stock has gone from the most-hated automobile stock to everybody's darling.

Stefan Bauknecht

There's nothing wrong with an old economy stock as long as you buy it cheap enough, and there's nothing wrong with a new economy stock as long as you buy it cheap enough. Profit is profit.

Rob Friedman

If the displays don't make it onto the floor in time, Wal-Mart has not maximized sales and is carrying too much stock at the end of the promotion.

Simon Langford

I think you saw a lot of fund managers latch onto the stock market?s momentum in the fourth quarter, and that helped boost returns.

Bill Sickles

Drastic measures were needed to anticipate the erosion of their stocks. Latin America is a weight on the stock at every turn.

Jason Kenney

It's time to buy the greatest medical stock you've never heard.

Jim Cramer

Stock prices have been quoted in fractions for two centuries, based on a system descended from Spanish pieces of eight. Each dollar was cut into eight bits worth 12.5 cents each. (Quarter=two bits).

Charles A. Jaffe

I think anytime you can offer someone a job with the possibility of these stock options and making extra money on top of your paycheck, that's an incentive.

Lorrie Griffith

I don't think the stock will do anything this quarter, but I think for next quarter and for the whole year, it will outperform the sector as well as the whole market.

Paul Kim

The stock had a bit of a run leading into the result. We're happy with the result and the 10 percent earnings guidance.

Rob Patterson

It makes sense. It's an orderly way of increasing the flow and reducing the volatility in the stock.

Safa Rashtchy

If Oracle comes in line with consensus, then that's really an indication that things are better than investors thought. That could be catalyst for the stock so there's a potential for meaningful movement to the upside.

John Difucci

I think that the management there feels that the stock price is well below where it should be, and I agree with them.

Jason Klein

There is potential here for expansion of our chip-stock market, and where we're positioned in the Pacific Northwest, gives us great benefit to have this market opened as another tool in the toolbox for our growers to look at marketing possibilities for their crops.

Matt Harris

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'll get the data points back on when they are stocking and disposing [of] those units, which is [information] we haven't had before. So we [will have] some new data that will help us better understand cycle times, from the time we build and ship that display, to the time [the retailers] actually use it on the floor.

Keith Hodnett

Technology in general and the Internet in particular are entirely responsible for the increase, ... A solid U.S. economy, a sensitive but wildly volatile stock market, and a receptive, though selective, IPO market, combined with the ever-expanding opportunities for technology, create an ideal environment for venture capitalists and entrepreneurs alike.

Paul Weaver

We need to see greater predictability and certainty before the stock would look attractive again. I think earnings estimates are going to come down substantially this year and probably next year if, in fact, they go ahead with the de-mothballing of two rigs.

Philip Dodge

The stock market is heavily into overbought territory and a correction at this stage would be good for the overall health of the bourses. A correction at this level will give long-term investors to consolidate their gains before taking up fresh positions in the days ahead. Retail investors should adopt a cautious approach in the days ahead.

Deepak Shah

The ruling itself really had no details that were completely surprising to anyone. The final ruling won't come for at least a year here. So we have a period here through the summer where the stock will have no significant news other than fundamental earnings announcements.

Larry Seibert

I'm not aware of any plans to sell stock at this time.

Jim Monaghan

Since we began acquiring stock we always thought this was a very good company with great prospects that maybe was not performing up to its potential.

Robert Johnston

The reason to hold this stock is the high asset value of the group in a hot property market.

Nigel Parson

It gives me the chance to have a closer look at things and take stock of what is needed.

Craig Brewster

Earnings are likely to continue to become more favorable, and I believe that will counteract the negative effect of rising rates to provide for higher stock valuations by year-end.

Robert Balentine

What you have in Nokia is a company that is in the process of transitioning from a high double-digit earnings grower to becoming more of a value stock.

John Bucher

Every time you get a stock market (boom) like the 90s', people get very short-sighted and greedy.

Ted Leh

The Japanese stock market is like a lamb or rabbit in a pack of wolves. It is very dangerous. Unless someone acts, things don't get corrected.

Takafumi Horie

Going forward, stock specific movement will continue. It is advisable to buy on declines and book profits at higher levels.

Ashu Kakkar

Jerusalem artichokes are very sweet this time of year, ... I like to bake them until they are buttery. Add butter and thyme and a little chicken stock until they are glazed.

Daniel Boulud

My husband was very enthusiastic, and my children are all investing. They have done some work with stock themselves because of our interest.

Helen Arntzen

Seems to defeat the purpose of a blind trust. Somebody else is supposed to have control over it to avoid potential conflicts of interest. If you can just reach in and sell stock, it seems it defeats the whole purpose.

Larry Noble

Unless we have the entire stock ... we will not start large distributions.

Hassan Taifour

Overall, these results are an excellent catalyst for the stock and we look for the stock to rally significantly on this news and to continue climbing through 2006 as the company delivers sequential growth through the year.

Barry Richards

We surveyed 125 retailers late last week, and 21 percent had at least one Xbox 360 Core ($299 version) console in stock. Most also reported receiving shipments last week and are now seeing a relatively steady flow after stock-outs abounded for most of December and January.

Pj Mcnealy

2005 was the best year for commercial construction since 2001, (but) we've still got that stock of buildings where we have a surplus.

Tony Plath

The difference between playing the stock market and the horses is that one of the horses must win.

Joey Adams

Stock options can overshadow the value of a retirement plan in a heartbeat. I've had clients who made millions by waiting a few weeks.

Gary Schatsky

Our daily intake of milk from farmers has dropped by half. This has affected us, but we have a large stock of milk powder. We have been able to sustain the country?s demand of dairy products.

Matu Wamae

That would lead to more bullish analyst reports on the companies, which would help the stock price. We wouldn't change our estimates on the company, but we'd say in the reports the official expectation was conservative.

Stephen Mcclellan

Nurseries dig up fresh stock in the fall.

Roger Cook

I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tuna Fish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

There isn't much downside for oil stocks right now, and oil is strategic for China. Investors will continue to hold on to the company's stock.

Liu Yang

If North Korea started going on the offensive, it could cause uncertainty in the region and could lead to deterioration in the economy and further fright in the stock market.

Matthew Ellis

You can't let the records and rankings get to you. You can't put much stock in it. You pay attention to that stuff and you're going to be going home early.

Chris Whitt

This should be a great quarter for the investment banks across virtually all their business segments. High-margin merger advisory, sales and trading, and stock and bond underwriting all look really strong this quarter.

Robert Hansen

The stock is a little ahead of itself given where the market is today. Investors are excited about it because improved sales indicate that the worst of the suit cycle is over and there's a suit replenishment cycle going on now. But sales per square footage are still down.

Brian Tunick

We're really not rooting for a bear market. It's like fire insurance. You don't hope for a fire but you keep some insurance just in case. It's a good component for people with stock exposure to make the ride a little smoother.

Paul Mcentire

It's creative. The penny fee on stock transactions is an interesting thought.

Andrew Imparato

If stock market experts were so expert, they would be buying stock, not selling advice.

Norman R. Augustine

Although political strains remain a short-term threat, investors should shrug off this issue and revert to economic fundamentals and stock selections.

Rakpong Chaisuparakul

Even at these prices I really think that a Microsoft will continue, perhaps not to go back to the great growth that they had before but very close to it. The stock is facing some sort of a springboard, possibly heading toward their previous recovery high of the 70s and possibly into the 80s.

Joseph Parnes

The 2007 and 2008 guidance is in line with expectations. And the stock is back down after a pretty big move.

David Heupel

Reducing our common stock dividend is one of a series of prudent and realistic steps we have taken and are taking to address our current business environment, ... ...The right path for our company during this period of deteriorating market liquidity and continued credit concerns is to strengthen our finances and limit our exposure to the marketing and risk management business.

Steve Malcolm

He didn't sell any stock. He went down with the ship.

Keith Hampton

Our ongoing stock repurchase program demonstrates the confidence we have in our company and shows our commitment to deliver long-term stockholder value. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation capability allow us to simultaneously invest in our current business and repurchase stock.

Harold Hughes

Competition is very fierce in the health-and-beauty sector in the Netherlands. When prices drop, we can maintain profitability only if we keep costs in hand. By carefully monitoring inventory and turnover, we are able to save several million euros in stock value.

It is pretty consistent with the ramp-up of the new initiatives. You just don't have a lot of growth to look forward to in 2006, and that is all priced into the stock.

I know we have a car that can run at the top of the page. I'm confident we can work our way up from here on out. Terry and the crew are working hard to get everything right. No one said Pro Stock racing would be easy.

With corporate balance sheets and cash flow strong, we look for investment spending to remain strong, pushing up growth in the capital stock and adding to labor productivity growth in 2006.

Customizing is anything you do to a bike to make it your own. Some of it's done at the dealership using stock parts, and some of it's done by one-of-a-kind builders, who just do built-to-order bikes. That gets into the very high end of the business.

Tom Lindsay

All three groups are having meetings at various times and word leaks out from those meetings and for the next half hour that determines the direction of the stock.

John Novak

They are going to turn a lot of attention to a growth strategy ... striving to meet the investor growth expectations that underlie the stock price.
