Everyone is a volunteer. All of the flagmen, corner people, people that cook the hamburgers, tend bar and stock the coolers.

Bob Demesy

If they (the Fed) had any plan whatsoever, they wouldn't be trying to micro manage the economy and target the stock market like they have been.

Bill Meehan

We have felt for a long time that the stock is worth $30 or better and continue to think that.

Angela Kohler

Value managers were selling it and a lot of growth managers already owned it, even though it wasn't labeled a growth stock.

John Waterman

That certainly is part of the issue. People have stakes (in the stock market) have noticed these things. If you get to the top quarter or the top 10 percent, then these consumers have mentioned decline in stock market prices much more often.

Richard Curtin

We think they have already lit a fire under management to a degree, persuading it to take several positive actions. We expect it to continue on this course. So the Icahn group may lose the battle but, if the stock goes up, it will have won the war.

Douglas Shapiro

What's significant in these figures is the stock holdings have increased substantially and the bond position is down. We continue to see evidence that Bob Stansky is reshaping his portfolio by purchasing blue chip companies with outstanding growth characteristics. He is using existing cash reserves, proceeds from bond sales and revitalized inflows.

Don Dion

These earnings estimates are falling in some cases in as fast as the (stock) prices.

Clark Yingst

We call on the prime minister to go to parliament at once and take stock of the most severe crisis that Italy has ever had regarding its relations with Europe.

Piero Fassino

The strength in European earnings is the result of a tremendous rise in productivity. That explains why even though profits are up and stock markets are rising, unemployment is still high. European companies are not hiring, but they're growing.

Philippe Brugere

These stock option grants are an insult and add injury in a market of skyrocketing healthcare costs in America ... we find this intolerable and unsustainable.

Rob Feckner

It is difficult to have a high level of confidence about where the cell phone market is going to be at the end of the year. You could make a case for Nokia's stock going to $7 and you could make a case for the stock going to $16.

Jeff Bray

It's been a sector with mixed results. If you have a tech fund manager who is a good stock picker, and who has proven to be good at picking out values when they're there, and also being able to see growth as it starts to happen, investors could be well off.

Karen Dolan

The stock is really looking ahead to better times down the road. We're expecting of course a Fed rate cut and a resurgence in investment banking activity into next year.

James Schmidt

The fact that everything is back on the drawing board, with respect to partitioning the printer business, makes the stock more attractive.

Richard Chu

There's increasing doubts (about a BOJ rate boost) due to developments in the stock market and the Sogo bankruptcy.

Dave Gilmore

Therefore, investor objections of not owning the stock based on 'breakup' fears are no longer rooted in reality.

Michael Stanek

We have enjoyed a very good multiple in our stock which has allowed us to be very active in this market.

William Evans

What we see is the people who really advertise and stock well for the holidays did really well.

John Heavener

This is a starkly different episode. We've seen considerable off-farm investors interested in farmland, in part a lingering result of the (low) stock market performance of recent years.

Mark Drabenstott

Political risk is never good for stock markets, so that is definitely a negative.

Tim Rocks

We had originally aimed to complete the latest inventory adjustments for common-grade steel by the end of March, but we now think we need to extend de-stocking efforts in the first quarter (to June).

Nobuyoshi Fujiwara

'Safe' is a very bad word in the stock market. There is no such thing as safe. 'Smart' is a good word.

Bob Schmidt

Good earning growth. Next year, their earnings will be about $1.90 (per share). That's just 10 times this year's current stock price.

Richard Cripps

We proudly welcome Global Entertainment Corporation to the American Stock Exchange. We hope to provide the company with the type of assistance it needs to meet its objectives in the marketplace.

John Mcgonegal

We are encouraged by this and have raised estimates, essentially back to earlier levels. While the stock is richly valued and the growth is still well below historic levels, we believe there is a good flow of upcoming new products and the shares are likely a relative safe harbor.

Rick Sherlund

Now it's a good time to leave the company, ... The stock price is up, and the company has spent all its money on acquisitions. Marshall has built a little house of cards that is about to fall.

David Livingston

It was holding the stock back a little bit.

Patrick Comack

Investors are betting on Apple's music story and not the Macintosh story. If they were betting on the Mac story, the stock would be in the teens.

Charlie Wolf

The stock looks overpriced.

Craig Williams

Offensive basketball is like the stock market — it goes up and down. He had to reach that level of consistency on defense.

Al Visconti

It's really a turnaround quarter. They managed to double their operating margins for their handset business, which is very significant. That's what really depressed their stock the previous quarter. They also improved margins in semiconductors.

Mona Eraiba

It was a big part of raising my stock. People thought I couldn't run a good 40. Proving people wrong was a big part of it. Everybody doubted me. The only ones who believed in me were my coaches and my family. I always had it in my mind that I was one of the best corners out there.

Josh Lay

That is indicative of pre- and post- hurricane buying in places like Florida, where people tend to stock up before a hurricane and then afterward they try to do some replacement shopping.

Donald Gher

The London Stock Exchange is an all-electronic stock exchange that gives Nasdaq a global presence. There would be cost savings, too.

Richard Repetto

I think the fear of interest rates being raised and the impact that would have on economic growth is public enemy No. 1 for stock sentiment right now.

John Forelli

Higher interest rates are just not good medicine for the stock market.

Michael Vogelzang

There's no doubt that part of our [stock price increase] was because deregulation was approved.

Richard White

We're seeking damages for the wrongful exclusion of the benefits plan; we're seeking an injunction that requires them to start classifying people properly and allowing employees to participate in the employee stock-purchase plans. In our view, they can't continue to operate the way they're operating.

David Stobaugh

If oil prices hold, or better still, if they rise, I think in the coming days we are going to see stock prices rise even further.

Hector Perez

It's symptomatic of issues going on beneath the surface. They're still trying to get their house in order. Their stock hasn't been doing very well.

Tim Woolston

Nasdaq would gain a great brand name. To get those marquee global companies on their exchange, Nasdaq realizes it can slug it out one-by-one with the New York Stock Exchange, but if it had London, it would be that much easier.

Michael Pagano

You really have to know what you're doing to buy stock in these companies. You have to take it company by company. It's very, very tricky.

Porter Bibb

Men may seem detestable as joint stock-companies and nations; knaves, fools, and murderers there may be; men may have mean and meagre faces; but man, in the ideal, is so noble and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature, that over any ignominious blemish in him all his fellows should run to throw their costliest robes.

Herman Melville

One would be hard-pressed to think of a stock photographer who has been more successful than Turner over the last 20 years.

Ron Rovtar

Earnings have been growing faster than stock prices. We've continued to have a cheaper and cheaper market.

Jim Paulsen

Due to uncertainty over interest rates, along with the bull-run on the stock market, institutional investors are hesitant to buy debt paper actively.

Katsutoshi Inadome

The Canadian stock market will continue to follow resources. Rothmans will also be a negative today.

Greg Eckel

The stock had a great run-up in anticipation of solid earnings, and I think their database revenue was a little shy of what people were looking for -- that's probably why people are selling in after-market (trading). Overall, it was a good quarter.

Andrew Roskill

We're expecting a very strong quarter. The question is will it be good enough to keep the stock going?

Youssef Squali

We're proud to be the number one provider of solar power in America. We were the first company to sell a solar panel in the U.S. in 1978. Now, nearly three decades later, solar energy is one of the best investments people can make anywhere, with as much as a 15% annual return on investment. Try to get that kind of return in the stock market.

John Schaeffer

That is certainly a bearish sign, not for the (stock) market, but for the expected profits of the exchange going forward.

Lawrence White

It's fraud. It misleads people, and it causes people to falsely buy stock on false and misleading information ... and lose money as a result.

Richard Walker

As long as eBay continues its current policy on non-disclosure of these metrics, we think investors will be very cautious as to their expectations of eBay's success in China, which would weigh on the stock.

Robert Peck

Weekly earnings growth has been steadily declining. ... It's not dire yet, but clearly it's not helpful, and it's caused us (Americans) to have negative saving rates. People have poured all of their money from the stock market into housing. ... If the housing (market) busts it will get ugly fast.

Ted Leh

The stock is getting hammered because investors are reacting like this is the next step to bankruptcy when in fact I think meeting with the banks is a good thing. Renegotiating the covenant is a positive because it means they won't be forced into bankruptcy.

Michael Pachter

It won't wipe out stock fraud, but it will give investors a much better tool.

Barry Goldsmith

Blenders, bar accessories, cocktail shakers, ashtrays, cocktail glasses and little tiki bars, ... Anything you would normally stock a bar with, we carry. The '50s was a big cocktail era, and we sell almost every bar we get within a week or two.

Gregory Davis

We're at the very front end of the fact-gathering stage. An allegation has been made, and the National Western Stock Show felt it warranted looking into it.

Lynn Kimbrough

The (Tokyo) market has been strong due to favorable supply-demand conditions and gains in overseas stock markets. On the other hand, it looks technically overheated.

Yoshinori Nagano

Until we see some resolution of these issues, I think Merck and Pharmacia's stock will remain under pressure.

Hemant Shah

It probably won't be as popular as Microsoft stock.

Derrick Berry

My office is concerned that many of the employees were, in effect, coerced into the purchase of the stock. They were forced to purchase stock to protect their jobs.

William Galvin

Stock option plans reward the executive for doing the wrong thing. Instead of asking, 'Are we making the right decision?' he asks, 'How did we close today?' It is encouragement to loot the corporation.

Peter F. Drucker

We are pleased to join the global companies listed on the world's most prestigious stock exchange, ... Our NYSE listing marks an important milestone for 7-Eleven and will raise our visibility with the financial community.

Jim Keyes

Right now, with the value of (Boston Scientific) stock where it is, the deal is worth $79 (per share). I don't think J&J is going to come back and I certainly don't think they're going to come back with anything more than $76 per share. Most people think J&J is done with (Guidant) and gone.

Nancy Havens

They actually support the companies that invest in stock car racing. There is that causal connection between purchase patterns and companies that invest in the sport.

Andrew Giangola

The stock had been gaining in the days leading up to the business plan, but it still doesn't warrant a buy.

Hiroichi Nishi

I think what the data will show, is that pay rose substantially, but maybe not quite as much in 2004. Executive pay goes up a lot when company performance goes up and that includes, but is not limited to, the stock price performance.

David Lewin

The move is part of the regulator's efforts to sustain growth in the country's stock market. Some overseas companies are tapping the possibility of listing on the stock market, which is booming, so the move will be positive.

Bong Won Gil

The news today would've had to been pretty dreadful to push the stock down further.

Adrian Darley

The New York Stock Exchange should be applauded for moving forward. This will make it easier for investors to trade, while ensuring the integrity of the market.

Vito Fossella

There are some big concerns about the U.S. economy and the stock market will struggle a bit. Interest rates do matter.

Felix Lanters

The only way a small investor should make decisions (based on lawsuits) is if they're looking at the short-term. There may be some issues or fallout from government intervention that may affect the stock.

Jay Ferrara

The stock has largely stalled out. The share price is reflective of the fact that the market sees a real project here, but it's still at a show-me phase: show me that you can complete this relocation phase, and that you can start with development of the project.

Jim Mustard

This news could be enough to move the stock higher. People have been looking for reasons to buy Microsoft. It's still undervalued.

Brendan Barnicle

I think if they lose it really creates a negative vibe for the stock.

Jason Napodano

I don't think about that during the season. I will take stock at the end of the year and see what the situation is with the program and see if I still have the enthusiasm for it.

Joe Blair

We know that, but whether one can do anything about it is another thing. We will try to stock perch again next spring, judging by what we're getting here.

Randy Hiltner

A lot of people think wars lead to pessimism and gloom and doom. But the stock market has usually rallied.

Dick Mccabe

Where people make a mistake is that they think high-quality companies will translate into high quality stocks, and that often is not the case. With a popular company, you get high expectations and that can push things up so that the stock is not worth buying for awhile.

Nick Raich

We believe the upside to results is clearly reflected in the current valuation, suggesting minimal upside to the current stock price.

Chris Olin

The reason for this tremendous shift towards greater transparency is because of the growth and dominance of the capital markets. The monetary policy impulse is now driven by how the bond market, stock market, currency market react, so now it is more important that those markets understand what the Fed intends.

Bill Dudley

We're entering a seasonal period now, pre-Thanksgiving, pre-December holidays, where we often see a stock advance.

William Hummer

If the prospectus had mentioned the possibility, it might have enhanced the value of the stock.

Ralph Nieders

We've held out that, as you move through the third-quarter earnings, the companies that report will show strong growth, ... Stock prices have been so compressed that it give investors reason to step in and pick up stocks at depressed prices.

Kevin Caron

The kids going (today) have an uphill battle. That was a huge pillar we lost. But he's a 17-year-old kid and predicting what they'll do is like playing the stock market.

Wayne Branstetter

Right now the stock market is following the price of oil, and in the intermediate term, oil prices look to go higher.

Paul Levine

It's not like Tyson is alone (in having a dual-structure stock.) And it's not hidden. (The voting structure) is laid out in the filings. There are a lot of other issues, obviously, that have greater bearing on the stock price than shareholder structure.

Christine Mccracken

Wall Street has a bunch of football fans and it's something to do. But I really hate the thing. It might be fun and all that stuff, but I put more credence into astrologic market predictors than the Super Bowl. It's just coincidental. There's no way the outcome of the football game has any effect on the stock market.

Jeff Hirsch

The third quarter corporate results are very good this time, which so far found very little reflection in stock prices. Stocks are cheap and people are buying in a calmer market to fill year-end portfolios.

Andre Caminada

They've got to show the Street and they've got to do it themselves, to get the stock going again, that their growth rate this quarter was an anomaly, not the start of a different trajectory for the growth of the company.

Dan Ries

This is the big story for these companies. They're so big, they're having a very hard time growing. The only thing they really know how to do well is buy back stock.

Matthew Simmons

$26 a share is a fair value for PeopleSoft. If this deal doesn't go through, PeopleSoft's stock will start going back towards the levels before the original merger was announced.

Trip Chowdhry

There can't be much doubt that he can be decisive. It's hard to think that he can change the stock exchange any more than he already has in the next few years.

Roy L. Smith

For me to get worried about the stock market, you have to show me signs that corporate bonds are getting weak and all this debt coming due isn't going to be rolled over. If you can't roll the debt over, you have to start valuing stocks on an asset basis. If you can roll it over, you have to start valuing it on an operating earnings basis. There's a huge difference in price between those two.

Brian Reynolds

There is continued takeover speculation surrounding the entire group. I suspect that is the primary reason moving the stock.

Michael Flanagan

The stock is beginning to reflect some of the cost savings. Beyond that, we need to see if the company's targeted end markets are growing if the stock is going get out of the mid-teens.

Craig Berger

He was active throughout Nevada and was considered to have the largest collection of Nevada stock photos. We only have some of them.

Lee Brumbaugh

To stimulate discussion and promote further efforts at the development of market instruments to value employee stock options.

Christopher Cox

Women control household budgets and more women will shop online this year, which makes that demographic attractive to advertisers, ... But I don't think it justifies an $80 stock price.

Adam Schoenfeld

It looks like a perfect jobs report: not too much strength this month, reassuring strength from last month, smoothing it out over a few months' moving average. It looks very comfortable. It's hard not to feel good about stock investments here.

Barbara Marcin

In a market like this, with the current valuations ... any kind of hint of poor news is going to send the stock tumbling.

John Bartlett

Our client base grew further in 2005 and the positive effects of the improved stock exchange climate and greater business confidence were also manifest.

Floris Deckers

With earnings growth likely to slow and stock valuations close to historic highs, investors should pick companies which can benefit from good domestic demand, and which have strong balance sheets.

Nicholas Yeo

We were on major tours with every artist, and our record company lost distribution, couldn't keep our records in stock and was having financial problems.

Simon Horrocks

We are pleased to welcome American Telecom Services to the American Stock Exchange. An initial public offering is an important step for any company to take, and we are pleased American Telecom has opted for the specialized services we at the Amex offer to emerging companies.

John Mcgonegal

Last week I fulfilled the pledge that I made in October by establishing an irrevocable $25 million escrow account at Union Bank of California for the benefit of Global Crossing employees who invested their 401(k) plan in company stock.

Gary Winnick

A dividend cut is not built into the stock price. If AT&T were to cut the dividend it would be a disaster.

Patrick Comack

The CPI number this morning sparked a rally in both stock and bond markets, ... But beyond the initial reaction, I think we're going to remain stuck in this range until other issues get resolved.

Timothy Ghriskey

We use the Hollywood Stock Exchange to assess what market expectations are for a film.

Lowell Singer

A little girl came up to me the other day and said, 'Do you live here?' ... I have a great staff that helps me run the place, but I really love being out on the floor, helping people stock shelves and talking to customers.

David Gilmour

The stock market reaction, if they cut a quarter point, probably will be as much a yawn as anything else. If the Fed would go for half a point, which is within the realm of possibility, I think it would get a positive reaction.

David Blitzer

The performance of the major stock averages didn't make anyone happy in 2005. But when you consider what the markets had to contend with, treading water is not so bad.

Al Goldman

With 15-35 percent of the population becoming ill, we're not going to be able to be stocking our store shelves like we do now.

Deb Steffen

The retail sales report was the most significant piece of data we had in weeks and that certainly had the stock market going. It points to a solid first quarter, with earnings growth.

Jason Schenker

It can be a mid-30s stock in 12 months.

Drew Brosseau

We carried a large overweight in international markets all last year. That was a huge driver for us. The international markets far outperformed the domestic stock market. The U.S. stock market didn't do too well.

Mark Anson

If you track the IPO stock action over the last couple of months, you'll note that the pop off the IPO has actually started to fall over a period of time.

Alan Braverman

Coming off such a low base, higher rates are confirmation we're in an economic growth cycle, as opposed to killing off the growth cycle, ... It doesn't deter my confidence in the stock market now.

Joe Kalinowski

Based on the calendar of publicly announced deals, this was the best time to make the addition. The stock price wasn't a factor in our decision.

David Guarino

Look at Philip Morris. Its stock value was depressed for a long time on litigation risks, but after all these years the value has finally come through.

David Briggs

I wanted to be Martha Stewart, ... but without the stock scandal. I haven't really followed her story that closely. But I still think she's a good businesswoman with great shows.

Christina Lee

It's become the sterling growth stock in the large-cap beverage area, ... It has volume growth. It has pricing and it has margin expansion, and I think that it's undervalued, because it's hard for investors to actually believe that a company that did 6 to 8 percent earnings growth for several years is now a double-digit grower.

Caroline Levy

Higher oil prices continue to pose threats to the stock market. Weaker consumer sentiment raises concern about a slowdown in the U.S. economy.

Choi Chang Hoon

We still think very highly of the company and its management. We just don't think the stock is very cheap anymore.

Tim Fidler

The economy is growing, albeit tepidly, and we've had a major correction in the stock market, ... So valuations have come down dramatically and that's a positive. I also don't expect the interest rate cut from last week to have a major impact. What we really need to see is traction on the capital expenditure front.

Robert Hoehn

We were extremely impressed by the solid results posted in the first quarter and would be buyers of the stock at current levels.

Ryan Rauch

We're not putting much stock into it. That's what they think and your only thing is to prove them wrong.

Michelle Gardner

Some might wonder, is the Internet search business booming enough to justify the lofty stock price--which includes a price-to-earnings ratio 175 percent greater than its peers and a total market value 20 times greater than its annual revenues.

Frederic Ruffy

The flip side of high technology (has meant) people have been staying away from basic industries because they're not nouvelle cuisine. You could be seeing some stock rotation here.

Irwin Michael

If we had a wide-scale and prolonged freeze, we could have big stock draws and price spikes. There isn't any shortage of crude in the market, the problem is getting it refined into heating oil and gasoline.

Veronica Smart

It's a true thrill to be here at the American Stock Exchange as Gen. Washington and to promote him as the great man he was. Crossing the icy Delaware as he did in 1776 was a tremendous feat.

James Gibson

We've had a 15-year bull market. People's belief in stocks as a place to put their retirement money isn't going to die slowly. I don't think the market is going to fall away right away. But I think what it means is there is going to be pressure on (stock prices).

Ken Heebner

An end to litigation with Microsoft is not priced into the stock. If Real gets a big payout, which Microsoft has been doing, that could be a boon for them to help fund growth.

Pete Spear

You'd think it'd be a great idea for a (public) company, ... After all, the big areas of the Internet are basically stock trading, e-shopping and pornography. But you can't really invest in it. And you know, maybe that's the way it should be, quite frankly.

Scott Bleier

The problem in the stock market it not that it's unknowable, and not that it's too complicated. The problem in the stock market is that we don't let our good ideas work. We're always getting in the way of our better ideas.

James O'shaughnessy

It's an under-followed classy insurance stock.

Chris Grisanti

If Case and Parsons sold stock knowing there was bad news coming out of the company, that would be ugly.

Youssef Squali

What's going to drive stock gains going forward is the earnings, and the current crop of earnings may have already been accounted for. I'm looking for the earnings in the second quarter and particularly the second half of the year to drive stocks higher.

Kevin Caron

I'm not hearing anyone saying, 'We're going to stock up. They're all saying, 'Donate it to the cause.

Army Ltcoljeremy Martin

If you want to be in the stock market, go for a yield vehicle. Go for something that is defensive and has a yield - a bank, insurance company, a REIT [real estate investment trust] or international oil - something, ... that might actually make you money.

Charles Clough

The investor world of the stock widens enormously with an upgrade, so it is now rising on expectations of higher liquidity.

Renato Vercesi

I don't know if the sound you hear is the sound of eBay's stock going down.

Blair Levin

Certainly we would like to see the stock perform better, ... I think it's up to management to do a better job of (achieving) consistent earnings and consistent improvement in earnings.

Robert Palmer

Some investors were willing to take a chance and get back into the stock figuring it is significantly oversold at current levels and the company reported reasonably good second quarter earnings.

Felix Boni

When you buy an individual stock, anything can happen.

Bill Holland

Success here at E3 is essential to start the momentum for a game's sales, ... It tells retailers what to stock their shelves with for the next six to eight months, especially for the holiday season. And with revenues that now rival Hollywood, it's really do or die.

Marc Saltzman

This is a stock that has lost its way, and has lost it for a long period of time. It's in the process of losing its franchise.

Stanley Nabi

Merger deal flow is going to reflect an economic recovery and stock market recovery. They go hand in hand.

John Orrico

This tracking stock phenomenon doesn't make sense. I wouldn't be surprised if they went down to $0.

Drake Johnstone

The stock market might be a variable, but I think it's totally trumped by other factors right now.

Leslie Alperstein

If you don't have anything installed prior to Elements, we will install a version of Bridge. There is a slight difference between the version of Bridge you get with Elements and the one you get with Creative Suite 2. We have basically removed some of the non-consumer things like scripting control, access to Adobe Stock Photos and Version Cue. Otherwise it's pretty much the same functionality.

Mark Dahm

Some investors have returned to pick up the stock at bargain prices.

Andrew To

Both sides know that with stock markets everywhere in free fall it is hardly the time to spark an all-out trade war.

Robin Oakley

If the Federal Reserve board doesn't cut interest rates, I think we're looking at a 300- maybe even a 400-point drop in our stock market.

Robert Froelich

That, psychologically, could have been a reason for the (big stock market) move this morning.

Joe Cangemi

As long as you don't need the money for anything else, if you can average 10, 11 percent in the stock market, you'll come out ahead.

Gerard Papetti

My 16-year-old son has all of his college money invested in stock with Merrill. He's not in hedge funds. His money is in AT&T.

Adriane Berg

We've long been aware of the environmental responsibilities you've got when you're in this kind of business. We only feed the salmon shrimp meal, and as far as stocking density's concerned, only one per cent of the volume of the cage is fish.

Angus Macmillan

Graduating to the American Stock Exchange will be a significant achievement in the growth and advancement of our company and will increase our exposure to both institutional and individual investors in the United States and in Europe. Moving to a larger exchange will complement our growth strategy, and we look forward to a swift approval process.

Lawrence Finn

It was really an amazing show. The rodeo, the music, the stock show — everything went off as well as we hoped it would.

Angela Rabke

The stock, any way you slice it, is attractive at this stage.

Ulysses Yannas

I've been accused of getting a little carried away but I couldn't help myself. There was so much I wanted to bring to our customers, so the catalog for 2006 is twice the size and we have 100 to 142 styles and more than 1,315 SKUs in stock.

Dan Saferstein

If anything has changed, the market has become increasingly volatile. I've got two stocks up 19.5 percent and one stock down 21 percent ... A few years ago, I would have panicked at that. Now, it's a normal day at the office.

Bob Turner

Compaq's channel inventory has been low and in some cases near stock-out levels.

Jesse Greene

They're doing well because they don't correlate to the stock market.

Tom Grzymala

Unless you're very early (buying) a momentum stock, you're going to be subject to serious volatility.

Liam Dalton

One of the reasons that we haven't launched any network entertainment products is because we don't have a branding strategy. A lot of people just know us as a stock to own.

Chris Stevens

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 outlook for the domestic economy this year is even better than last year's. Strong fundamentals should continue to support the stock market's advance.

Song In Ho

I think any time OPEC meets it has an impact, although OPEC doesn't have the same effect on the stock market it once did.

Timothy Ghriskey

The bottom line is this: If we were investors in Macquarie stock, we would love this deal -- where can we buy it? But we're not. We are elected officials who are more concerned about protecting the people of this state than rushing into a very risky deal without all the facts.

Sen. Vi Simpson

The fundamentals are still sound but the stock has been priced for all their businesses to perform perfectly and we didn't see a lot more upside.

Michael Birch

If housing and stock prices go down, people will respond by increasing the flow of savings. If they have to save more to meet retirement objectives, then they'll have to cut down on consumption.

Brian Bethune

It has been the Achilles heel for online retailers over the last couple of years. Many had items out of stock, or they were taking too long to deliver, or it was taking too long to shop.

David Schatsky

The players need to become competitive again and, to do that, they will need to take stock of the season so far. I want them to finish matches completely shattered but with a great deal of pride.

Laurent Fournier

We had a highly politicized media event yesterday in Washington that didn't change where we were last week, ... There's no new news here. I'm personally buying more stock, today (Wednesday), as will a lot of our executive committee.

Bill Harrison

He was asked the question (about HCA stock) frequently, ... The main point was, 'I put it into a blind trust and therefore I've ceded responsibility to the trustee.' ... He was trying to explain to people what exactly happened when he put his assets into blind trusts. Once you put them into the trust, he didn't have any information as to the day-to-day disposition of those assets.

Bob Stevenson

It has all the signs of a hostile bid, and for investors it has come as a bit of surprise. I would expect this to go on for some time, and looking at the stock prices of the two companies, it seems there is more in it for investors.

Guy Hutchings

It's a big shock. It is obviously impossible to move onto a normal day's business, so we really have to step back and take stock.

Florian Westphal

With the stock trading at these attractive levels, we would have liked to see more significant repurchases.

Gary Balter

We believe that Hurricane Isabel could negatively impact September sales by approximately 0.5 to 1.0 percent. Retail stock prices have historically declined during hurricanes 54 percent of the time but usually recover quickly.

When I sold that stock, the company had just completed an analyst call reporting its quarterly numbers, ... ...

A lot of people have been afraid, have been scared because of the WorldCom disaster. But a lot of value players are now rushing into AT&T, ... Why? Not because of the phone business, because they have sold their cable assets to Comcast. And that brings a new ball game for AT&T holders.
