Lon Gorman

Early in the morning before school started he would have high school seniors come in to the trading floor and play cards with him, ... poker, bridge -- any sort of game where there's a strategy involved, the way that was remembering the cards, where he could watch people's minds and see how they thought and see how analytical they were. And those who were good players got hired as traders.

Lisa Endlich

Bruce Hahn

Andrew Sentance

Jim Tehan

It changed from a semi-secret occupation without government regulation to something that is transparent, with annual reports and public disclosure. That's a very large change. In the trading area, especially, there was a lot of secrecy.

Martin Mayer

Free agents are gone, and now it's just the guys who aren't signed. You have two options -- either trading, or signing a guy who isn't signed, and that's it. I think it'll be unprecedented the way it's going to work out.

Brian Lawton

As expected in November, growth in the economies of our trading partners has continued to be sluggish.

Don Brash

Since the beginning of the month, Exxon has outperformed its peers by over 6%, leaving the company trading at a significant premium to the group. As such, we are downgrading Exxon to neutral, as the stock's valuation is not as compelling.

Jennifer Rowland

This is for a buy-and-hold person who doesn't want to do that much trading. They are well-suited to beginning investors, and they can be a good first investment. That said, the investor still needs to do a fair amount of due diligence at the outset.

Greg Carlson

Philip Guziec

You're fighting to a stalemate between those people worried about interest rates and high valuations and those people excited about truly good earnings. I think you're going to be in a trading range for most of the summer until some event that we don't yet see takes us out of that - either the Fed stops raising (rates) or there's bad inflation news.

Chris Grisanti

There is new money coming into [oil trading] in the number of open-interest contracts, but this is not necessarily a sign of speculation.

Brad Hintz

Energy is trading off a bit, and I think that helps the other sectors in terms of it alleviates a cost for a lot of companies. Health care is doing well on the back of Bristol-Myers news, and also Boeing (is) getting another order.

Owen Fitzpatrick

China may widen the trading band but it will be a very small widening, maybe 3 percent. It's not likely for China to go for a big adjustment at one time.

He Fan

I think there'll be a little more depth in the market and it will be an important week. We've been stuck in a trading range, certainly in bonds. I think we'll have more people with more money casting more of a vote. That'll be important.

Matthew Alexy

Pepsi clearly wants Quaker for strategic reasons. Their offer is still a substantial premium to where Quaker Oats is trading. The reason they walked away the first time is because they had Coca-Cola waiting in the wings. They no longer have that luxury.

John O'neil

Joe has demonstrated great ability in communicating the system objectives of our researchers and developers to our traders. As we continue to expand our proprietary product offering, this will be instrumental in ensuring that our day-to-day trading operations personnel understand our objectives so we maintain exceptional performance levels.

Irwin Berger

It's a difficult market for trading - the data is all over the place, and that's what the Fed is watching.

Michael Kastner

There was a little bit of panic selling when trading started. A lot of traders are identifying bargains. But money flows are still negative by virtue of a lot of selling.

James Niosi

Domenico De Sole

This is the opportunity for trading partners to get together. So, this is one not to miss.

Tim Tevens

I remember having Yo's trading card when I was younger. She is just a very hard worker, she's not afraid of anything, she tells you how it is. Teams need that. She's just a great leader. The veterans have pulled us in and made us feel comfortable, like we're all family. That's one of the biggest successes of this team.

Kristin Haynie

This is one of the strongest auctions we've seen. It sold in the top end of the trading range for Class A (the most productive) soils. There is a good supply of Class A land that typically sells for $4,100 to $6,000 per acre depending on size, location and quality.

Brian Thompson

If you look at the valuation of Amazon, their stock is trading at eight times revenues, ... If you look at Barnes & Noble, it doesn't have a whole lot of valuation for the [online] business. By spinning off the barnesandnoble.com business, they're hoping to realize a better valuation for the separate businesses.

Amy Ryan

Australia's trying to tread a tightrope between our various trading interests and our strategic alliances.

Pranab Mukherjee

The petrochemicals sector looks set to remain squarely in focus as trading in 2006 gets under way.

Matt Buckland

Frank Hsu

Some folks are just required to be at their desk or on the trading floor to get their work done.

Travis Larson

Online trading is a high-cost business that lends itself to more consolidation going forward, ... And that will have a big impact on giving E-Trade more opportunity to improve its profit margins.

David Decker

People involved in fraud, waste and abuse, trading on the misfortune of others, should be severely prosecuted under the law, both state and federal.

Ted Poe

The $864 billion Republican tax cut is a destructive plan that will eat the surplus alive and suck the VA dry. They are trading veterans for votes and it is shameful.

Lane Evans

Historical relationships have shown that the Australian dollar should be trading around 85 cents to 90 cents, given the recent sharp rise in gold. It does provide the case for the Australian dollar to play some catch up, particularly if the Fed rate-hike momentum loses favor with investors.

Prashant Newnaha

The gold price is still up there and platinum is still trading above $1,000. That still points to a stronger rand. We could see a sharp weakening in the rand if the commodity prices lose steam.

Ion De Vleeschauwer

Yeah, if someone's selling downloads and collecting money for our songs I would be unhappy about that but if they're trading it I don't mind, obviously if I make a thousand records or CDs or whatever, I like to sell a thousand.

Ian Mackaye

The market was following Nasdaq, but in a much calmer way than before. Also, trading was pretty thin, the final buyer was absent from the market.

We had a rash of injuries at the center position last season - we went through seven of them. When we were trading Chris Jackson, we were looking to get a starting center, but there were no takers due to the vital importance of this position.

Sparky Mcewen

Bond yields are trading at their highest in seven months, and that's brought back some inflationary concerns.

Jane Hoffer

People have gotten used to listening to songs in the order they want, and they'll want to continue to do so even if they can't get the individual songs from file-trading programs.

Phil Leigh

The documents he signed indicated that he understood the potential risks and rewards of day trading. He was an experienced trader.

James Lee

Alistair Macnab

We will have substantially more capital. This will allow us to make more markets, commit more capital to trading, complete larger M&A deals and build a stronger team.

Dave Bonaccorso

We have started this work at the beginning of last year -- since then, we have inspected Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile. And now we are working with Colombia and Bolivia, and we expect to allow some companies from these countries to start trading with us.

Sergei Dankvert

Our businesses performed well overall in the fourth quarter, although trading results were disappointing.

Jamie Dimon

There are still some significant headwinds out there, but I have to say, the market has held up pretty well. But ... we're still stuck in the same trading range we've seen for months, and it'll take better news to break out of it.

Russ Koesterich

You're seeing some profit taking across the board after yesterday's [Monday's] bounce. You've got a little shift back into bonds, but basically trading is calm. It's kind of the standard summer doldrums. On the upside, you're seeing some money go into some high-risk areas ... which tells you something about how the psychology is changing from a month ago.

Matt Ruane

Swap spreads are trading in a tight range despite the sell-off.

Jon Blumenfeld

The big beat came from trading.

Jeff Harte

Cory Jones

The only thing that was positive today was that there was nothing negative, especially no lousy economic reports that we've had over the last four trading days. The summer doldrums have not appeared so far.

Larry Wachtel

Forty U.S. dollars per barrel is a reasonable price, taking into consideration production costs, supply and demand, trading and speculation activities.

Don Voelte

So, we concluded that this (merger process) is not only important, but must be implemented immediately. The move to install better trading facilities in the bond market will be much easier if we first merge the two exchanges.

Darmin Nasution

The first wave was ... companies automating their procurement processes. The second wave, happening right now, is trading communities, ... The next wave is going to be like the Chicago Commodities Exchange: instant fulfillment done completely on the fly.

Shawn Willett

The market went up quite a bit in the last two months and for the last two to three weeks had been trading sideways, looking for a reason to take profits.

Marcelo Mesquita

What is helping the dollar is the moral persuasion of the central banks. There's been contact between the European Central Bank and national central banks that make up the ECB urging calm, urging a block on any kind of speculative trading. The Federal Reserve has also weighted in and asked that dollar trading be limited. I think that will support the currency.

Dave Gilmore

The miss appears to be weakness in the trading portion of the Investment Bank unit, a frequent culprit due to its excessive volatility versus peers.

Guy Moszkowski

Today the mid-cap stocks really replaced some of the activities of normal trading.

Terry Cheung

We've been recording strong (trading) volumes since Tuesday, when the minutes of the Federal Reserve gave a boost to the markets.

Felipe Brandao

Under the current system suppliers are extremely reluctant to stick their head above the parapet and complain about their trading relationships - even if their businesses are at risk - because they fear retaliation. The Competition Commission has to take a very close look at this.

Peter Kendall

The stock is likely to see as much as 30 per cent gain in the first trading day to follow the similar recent gain of other material stocks.

Kenny Tang

We hope this will be a dialogue that points the way toward more fruitful cooperation between these trading partners.

Stephen Gardner

Prices now appear to be settling into a trading range that may persist into the first of the calendar year.

There is no trading market like this. Nowhere in the universe can you get 400 percent (returns).

John Harrison

[The actions are part of an effort to ensure investors are well-informed about] high-risk investment activities like day trading, ... It is an important step toward making individuals aware of the potential risks involved in day trading.

Frank Zarb

Enron is a one-time occurrence, ... Trading didn't put it down but rogue financing. They improperly financed a lot of overseas hard assets and didn't disclose the impact to earnings and balance sheets.

John Olsen

A lot of small brokers may not have a trading execution service, or have one that is heavily manual, which means it costs more to provide support services for clients. One way around that is to introduce automated execution services.

Sang Lee

The U.S. (market) is still stuck in a rut. We are calling the Dow up on the day, but so far every rally in the pre-market this week has been met with selling once the regular trading session got under way.

Tom Hougaard

The market's climate was totally euphoric. It's nice and easy trading in such a market.

Marcos Basaglia

We've been trading sideways for months, and until we get some sort of resolution with Iraq, we're going to keep trading in fits and starts.

Matt Ruane

It's a good start to the quarter, ... We're at the lower end of the recent trading range, so there's probably more room to gain.

Joseph Battipaglia

It's been an uninspired, insipid day of trading. We are biding time for the next big report.

Joe Lavorgna

The possibility of Mexico and maybe Russia trading through Italy is very real.

Jerome Booth

It's a trading bounce.

James Mckean

The relations between Egypt and Nubia were incredibly complex. To the Egyptians, at various times, Nubia represented a trading partner, an enemy in war, a supplier of troops, a conquered colony and even a conqueror.

Gil Stein

[It was a good day for Gretna as their title rivals Peterhead were held to a 1-1 draw by Stenhousemuir, Scott Michie and Paul Murphy trading goals.] I am disappointed at throwing away two points, ... We created five or six great chances.

Iain Stewart

In the absence of any news, I think the market can stabilize on the Nasdaq. It's already dropped a massive amount. I think it's going to settle into a trading range from the mid-2000 to the 3000 level, and I'm looking to take advantage of some stocks this week both in tech and away from technology.

Barry Hyman

The way GM is trading and is going to multi-year lows, that never is a big psychological positive for the market.

Chip Hanlon

We expect gold to remain very volatile, trading erratically from time to time and to break over $600/oz during the course of 2006. We would not exclude several short-lived double-digit rallies to surprise the market during the same period.

Frederic Panizzutti

We want to make clear that we don't have a problem with day-trading per se, but we want to make sure that people know what they're getting into. It's very risky, it's highly speculative, some people might call it gambling ... if you want to go into this, you have to go in with your eyes open and your pockets full.

Marc Beauchamp

Allowing brokerages to launch warrants at any moment in a trading day may help adjust the derivative's supply to meet its demand. It has been proven in Western markets as a good way to combat fluctuation.

Li Zhi

Investors cannot make a decision given the long weekend for foreign investors and uncertainty hanging over on Wall Street when trading resumes.

Tsuyoshi Nomaguchi

It shows you that everything is trading-desk oriented. They tend to move in packs.

John Vail

Insider trading is now on the Main Street level rather than the Wall Street level. We're bringing more cases about individuals who know about the companies rather than people involved in the deals.

Duncan King

This was a huge ring. These people really set out to deliberately engage in insider trading over a period of a couple of years.

David Rosenfeld

You look at Morgan Stanley and its peers, you see a lot of reliance on their proprietary trading desks and a willingness to take on more risk. If the markets are reaching a cyclical peak, which I think they are, profits are at risk when the economy slows down.

David Easthope

Stocks in general have been trading near their highs but volume has been a real obstacle to move prices higher. It may still be early but it looks to me as if we will see an attempt to take Dow above 9,450.

Tom Hougaard

From a technical standpoint, the fact that the market is testing the lower end of the trading range with low volume suggests the risk of the yearly lows being tested increases.

Peter Cardillo

Volume has been paltry and it's not looking much better today. It's typical August trading.

Bryan Piskorowski

They won't be free to choose the people they would necessarily want in their government ... There will be a lot of horse-trading going on.

Geoffrey Rudd

Our systems are all go, ... At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets, and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.

Richard Grasso

We're really just in a trading range ahead of next Tuesday, but the trend is basically bullish.

Dennis Hynes

Given these divergent signals from the Bank of Canada and the Fed, look for the Canadian dollar to strengthen in the near term, trading decisively through 90 U.S. cents.

Craig Alexander

Bob spearheaded some of the more risky trading businesses, the proprietary trading businesses in which the firm did so well in the 1980s and the 1990s, ... Those brought a lot more risk to Goldman Sachs and with it, an enormous jump in profitability.

Lisa Endlich

It seems the market has moved into a new range trading environment, but there are further upside risks for the euro/dollar.

Marvin Barth

It's been a very active market. The biggest trading gains you see are of firms that cater to day traders, although we (also) have seen a big percentage increase quarter over quarter.

Blake Darcy

In its most recent statements, the Financial Supervisory Commission has resorted to accusing UMC employees of insider trading, and I hope that this reckless behavior will end with my resignation before it causes excessive damage to the credibility of the government.

Robert Tsao

The increase in oil prices as trading started this morning took away all the incentive to buy stocks. With oil going up again and a Fed meeting tomorrow, investors are being very cautious. Demand today has dried up.

Larry Peruzzi

Would Clinton draw great guests? Absolutely, ... I think he could be very successful. But he would be trading gravitas for money.

Mark Dimassimo

This operation removes the stigma of having bonds trading in the market that reminds investors of the debt crisis and moratorium of 1987 followed by the restructuring of the mid 1990s; signaling the beginning of new stage that could eventually lead the credit to investment grade status within a few years.

Alberto Ramos

Usually the second quarter is typically a weak period [for the semiconductor sector], and I would expect to see a lot of the stock prices kind of trading sideways in the second quarter. Maybe we'll see a few of the bigger, maybe stronger cap companies moving up. But in general, the second quarter is typically weak.

Christopher Chaney

There has been more capital-markets activity than anticipated and the pickup in volatility has helped proprietary trading revenue.

Frank Fernandez

That was key for us. We knew it was do or die for us today. If you lose, you go home. We knew we had to answer every one of their runs. We were trading baskets. We knew we had to stop them in order to go up.

Kerry Loughran

Trading is strong across the Group, demonstrating the broad base of the company's activities and the benefits of our long-term investment strategy.

Nigel Newton

This new company will allow Bloomberg and its partner banks to share long term in the benefits of developing electronic trading. This will serve to combine Bloomberg's technology and distribution with the strong governance and liquidity provision that committed banks can bring.

Russel Levi

The market is being driven by futures-related trading activities. Fund managers are not interested in Hong Kong at the moment and retail investors are reluctant to get into the market ahead of the Chinese New Year.

Sunny Chan

If an exchange fails to secure normal trading, this calls into question its purpose.

Kaoru Yosano

Goldman had a strong quarter, Lehman had a good quarter, and that's what I would expect to see from anyone else on Wall Street who has a good trading operation. I expect to see Morgan Stanley do well, as well.

Hal Schroeder

Some of it is housing. But ... earnings and a couple of companies saying things are going to be a little better than expected are what's got this market trading higher.

Nick Angilletta

Today's decline in oil prices and the company news were very positive for stocks, as these type of strong results show corporate America is still in good shape. But trading is coming to a bit of a halt before the Fed. The interest-rate outlook can't be ignored.

Neil Massa

Instead of closing our eyes, turning our back on (real-money trading), and just hoping it will go away, we instead decided to embrace it and make it legal or sanctioned for those who wanted to take part in it. It's a big experiment for us. It seems to be working out.

Chris Kramer

Trading conditions continue to be difficult and there is little evidence to suggest this will improve in the near term.

John Hargreaves

Most hedge fund managers were extremely pleased with first-quarter trading results.

Wade Mcknight

Trading for the first four months of the new year has continued to be good and well ahead of the same period last year.

John Barnes

We are aiming for trading rooms in Europe.

Andreas Barth

We've got seven normal trading days until futures closeout and there is a large open interest on the March contract of about 200-odd thousand. It is probably going to be one of the largest closeouts with the result that we can see rollovers and a lot of them.

Lavan Gopaul

Last year all the forecasting was underestimating what the market would do. Most people in our business would say we're past the peak, but that's still tempered by a lot of demand out there. You've still got a lot of baby boomers buying and trading up.

Pam O'connor

Its apparently individuals selling or trading the cards.

Ken Hammond

Funny, but after trading for more than 15 years, I still am capable of forgetting a cardinal rule: The paper you own, in the end, will be intertwined with the fate of the 30-year bond.

James Cramer

Having spent several years on Wall Street specializing in mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Kim brings with him extensive trading experience.

John Kim

The Grateful Dead remains as it always has -- in favor of tape trading.

Dennis Mcnally

It's a monumental trading error, but fortunately this is a large bank with deep reserves. They have significant unrealized gains on equity holdings that they can tap into to offset losses and meet their financial forecast.

Jason Rogers

It is expected to start trading today.

Christine Hudacko

It is unusual for them to pull the plug at the 11th hour. It's always in their interest to get companies in there and trading as soon as possible.

Charles Geisst

The volume isn't overly heavy but there are a lot of orders on the trading desks backing up what's out there right now. There's a lot of committed capital on trading desks that's trying to be put to work.

Jim Gribbell

It's pretty clear who won. We always knew that this free trading of all this copyright material couldn't go on. It just wouldn't work.

Wayne Rosso

We need to realise and be aware of the processes and procedures being followed in the importing countries. So, I don't think it will be too soon that we'll see the resumption of meat exports to our trading partners.

Anton Kruger

We don't care whether it's old economy or new economy. We're looking for any asset that's trading at 60 cents on the dollar.

Rob Friedman

I trust that Taiwan is an ideal (FTA) partner for the Philippines. Taiwan is one of the top trading countries in the world, and the Philippines has a comparative advantage (when it comes to) labor- and capital-intensive industries.

David Hong

India will remain long on oil products. We need to look into developing our own overseas network or trading desk to sell our products.

Ashok Sinha

KT&G is already trading at a strong premium. We are taking profits out today. We think 60,000 won would be a little bit too rich to own.

Thomas Choi

Using subpoenas in insider trading cases is the norm.

Thomas Newkirk

We're also trying to reconcile positions on different issues such as aid and trade. As the largest provider of development aid to the Third World, and the largest trading partner for developing countries, we feel the EU is quite well-placed to play a bridging role.

Michael Curtis

I think we are likely to remain in a trading range for some time.

Ben Halliburton

There's not much overlap in the two trading companies, and Tomen has some business segments that Tsusho doesn't have, ... The new entity will continue to work with Toyota.

Koji Endo

Up until now, Schwab has been setting the pace in online brokerage. Merrill, though, is a bolt from the blue. Eight months ago, Merrill wasn't even in the online trading game. Merrill was held back only by the high cost of its online trading account.

Bill Doyle

It sure was a light trading day. London was closed and it's the last week of August, which tends to historically be a light trading period.

John Ing

Developing a more diversified income base, whether it is fee-based or from trading, is always a good strategy. Interest rates will remain low in China and Bank of Communications needs to develop more retail products.

Kent Yau

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

The current trading band of 0.3 percent is appropriate, and the recent fluctuation is normal.

Yi Gang

It doesn't constitute illegal market manipulation. It's not trading on any inside information. They are not a connected party with the company.

Tim Fletcher

These imbalances, reflect in part in the rising US deficit as well as the massive surplus in China's current account, pose a threat to international trading relationships upon which much of the recent global prosperity has been built.

Charles Dallara

Trading Life's Good for God's Best.

Luis Palau

The group is trading well. The group has robust organic growth prospects.

Lorna Tilbian

We've seen the yuan go stronger even as the dollar had a big move up in its last trading session. That's abnormal and it's probably because the authorities are trying to use it for political effect.

Qing Wang

Sometimes, you can get a really attractive piece of public property by trading it out. So, some land swaps have clearly been in the public interest, and you don't want to have a moratorium too long because you miss out on the ones that would be in the public interest.

Carl Pope

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

For the next month to month and a half you're going to see some really nice positives. You have month's end on a half day next Friday. All kinds of wacky things take place on these half days. Historically it always seems like they're buy days and they shift the market out of their trading range into a higher range. I think we're set up for that.

Michael O'hare

From simple to more sophisticated, we have always focused on offering the trading community a wide range of order types designed to meet the needs of a diverse client base. We continuously obtain feedback from our clients so that we can create tools that add real value and bring efficiencies to the marketplace.

Mike Cormack

One-to-one community building, tape trading, is something we've always been about. The idea of a massive one-stop Web site that does not build community is not what we had in mind. Our conclusion has been that it doesn't represent Grateful Dead values.

Dennis Mcnally

Most of the region's markets are trading off a bit, which is to be expected. The strength you've see over the last few days is basically the money that has been waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity to buy on the cheap; they've decided there is not going to be an opportunity to buy on the cheap, so they might as well get involved now.

Andrew Clarke

This fraud stretched from the biggest firms on Wall Street to a small day- trading shop. The common denominator was a willingness to steal confidential market information for use in illegal trading.

Linda Thomsen

It's trading on the back of the energy sector.

Greg Gibbs

I can't figure out why people want to own unprofitable companies with no prospect of making money in the near future. That's just trading paper.

Kent Mergler

[The loss of trading days] will hurt Ameritrade the most because that's all they do.

Gerard Cronin

The mood of the market is absolute nervousness and the mood of traders is absolute frustration. Because we're so oversold, I think we're ready for a trading bounce but there are just too many cross currents to balance right now.

Sam Ginzburg

We are now at the start of the last year of our technology roadmap. We finished work on our new trading system just before Christmas. It is now being internally tested until September or October.

David Lester

The industry was in turmoil a couple years ago, involved in marketing and trading energy. About a year ago, that process was finished. Companies just don't sit around and do nothing.

Gordon Howald

There will be a return to a positive cycle in beef that could normalize earnings. Share prices in the mid-$20s is a possibility, and that is a long way from where they are trading now.

Brian Barish

While many investors spoke of 'trading' the market, we were pleasantly surprised that some also were thinking of maintaining a more permanent presence. None said they were thinking of a permanent pull out.

Daniel Lian

Day trading isn't investing, it's at best speculating. Most traders will lose all of their money.

David Shellenberger

It may just simply not be cost-effective to maintain the physical trading floor.

Bill Cline

It's a lot of relationship building, horse trading and detective work. When you work in this field you meet a lot of people, but they're not just going to take their pieces off the wall for you.

Mark Rosenthal

After five years of 20 percent growth, fixed income trading is unlikely to continue at that pace.

Michael Hecht

The legislation was unlikely ever to have become law, because the Republican leadership in the House would have been reluctant to let it go to a vote. But as a symbol the proposed legislation was very unhelpful. The threat of high and sweeping tariffs against our third largest trading partner was the height of irresponsibility.

Dan Griswold

I'm less convinced of that ? especially when the stocks are trading at the premiums that they have been.

Michael Kahn

A lot of our clients are older and have been trading up in homes, but as their kids move out they're reluctant to 'buy down' because of capital gains. This [provision] is getting a lot of interest.

John W. Gardner

We continue to see higher trading volumes from both hedge funds and retail investors, despite concerns that growth could slow.

Robert Hansen

Overage in the quarter (was) mostly due to very strong investment banking results, particularly trading, and good expense control.

Glenn Schorr

If the numbers keep trading down for a bunch of quarters, then maybe we'll get nervous.

Rob Sanderson

There may be some bit of caution since we're trading at record levels, but there's a fair bit of money waiting to go into the market.

Martin Angel

Conditions indicate that motorists may see slight increases in retail gasoline prices within the next few days. Typically, pump prices in Texas move lower during this time of year due to a decrease in demand, but with crude oil trading around $63 a barrel that has yet to happen.

Rose Rougeau

The market lacks direction as fewer investors take part in trading ahead of the fiscal year-end.

Teruhisa Ishikawa

Ford is trading at eight times earnings while DaimlerChrysler is at 12 times earnings. We think Ford has a strong and stable management team while we're seeing turmoil at DaimlerChrysler. And Ford is increasingly investing in products that make a lot of money, whereas Daimler is beginning to try to make vehicles that don't tend to make a lot of money.

Nick Lobaccaro

They are the biggest trading nation, they are one of the biggest receivers of capital flows. If you are going to be a global policy- making organization and leave a huge player outside the framework, you aren't going to have much credibility.

Nicholas Lardy

It would appear that we are at the top of the trading range.

Leonard Kaplan

What we have put together is the world's largest carbon trading fund.

Doug Russell

It is unusual to find so many employees of a single company engaged in insider trading.

Helane Morrison

If this trading activity is client-driven, oil-related physical assets are certainly not critical. But if your oil trading activity is proprietary-trading oriented, then of course the conclusion is different.

Frederic Lasserre

We really have no comment. But we've always been an aggressive team, whether it be free agency or through trades. And this is a great player. The trading deadline starts next week. We had conversations with them and we'll see what happens.

Michael Lombardi

I've been aghast about how rapidly they've lost trading volume.

James Cox

Weaker openings are expected across Europe this morning, Friday's sell-off in the U.S. happened in earnest towards the end of their trading day which to an extent protected the European cash markets (as they had already closed). Their negative reaction is anticipated this morning.

Robert Wallis

I had the capital. He had the idea, ... The system worked out. Right away, professional traders started asking if they could join us. We made the decision back then to take the trading out to Main Street America.

Robert Bright

The rally will extend and challenge December highs. But it's not a bull market. We're just bouncing back from January lows back to the top end of the trading range.

Jeffrey Saut

They actually did not do much trading because they researched well and picked good stocks. When they were asked at the (awards) banquet what their technique was, they said 'buy and hold.'

Rae Wellnitz

We achieved solid results this quarter, despite more volatile market conditions and declining trading volumes, predominantly in the fixed-income markets. Furthermore, weakness in the Nasdaq, particularly technology shares, led to a decline in equity new issue activity.

James Cayne

The... acquisition of the Birthdays chain of stores is compounding what are without doubt the most challenging trading conditions the group has seen in years.

Keith Bowman

With China now back in the market after the New Year, there was some catching up in early trading on Monday.
