Oracle continues to be a margin expansion story and we expect that trend to continue this quarter. We expect the increased operating leverage to come in the form of lower sales and marketing expenses.
Melissa Eisenstat
Given the still relatively robust domestic demand and an anticipated pick-up in fixed investment spending, the trade balance should continue to trend weaker.
Kevin Lings
It is a long-term trend. Over the past 30 years, the median wage has grown about 9 or 10 percent.
Mark Weisbrot
I believe it's a positive. I think it's a trend that will dominate in the long run. It will be prevalent all over. Hopefully we'll have a statewide ban. That will help everybody.
Jim Sensenbrenner
The trend for firm longer bonds and weak shorter debt will continue this month. Investors feel safer buying bonds on slumping stocks.
Yoshihiro Gake
Steel and metal companies are on a long-term rising trend. Demand will continue to increase.
Tomokatsu Mori
The number just confirms the slowing growth trend that has been unfolding in the housing market, although the numbers are still at historically strong levels.
Ronald Simpson
There's consensus the market will keep an upside trend in the long run. The focus is how quickly the key index can top 1,300 and after that it may head north more easily.
Lu Chengde
Under Chairman Greenspan, monetary policy has become increasingly transparent to the public and the financial markets, a trend that I strongly support.
Ben S. Bernanke
We want to be a trend setter in the marketplace and leverage the model for other ministries to have their own text messaging services.
Rodney Sampson
Over the last 12 months you can see a steadily increasing trend. I don't think it's been below $5 since last November. It's supply and demand across North America, but certainly you can't downplay the short-term impact of the recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast.
Gary Newcombe
I think it will be the start of a trend.
Joe Mcinerney
There is definitely a trend among employers to provide lower ill-health benefits.
Kevin Newman
This is the first negative trend line we have had in anything since accountability began.
Leslie Jacobs
The trend from defined-benefit to defined-contribution plans has not come because employees have wanted to take on that risk. It's because employers have wanted to get rid of that risk.
Jack Vanderhei
Our concepts for the Hilton are innovative and will be trend-setting in the hospitality industry. We look forward to providing the Hilton property with a unique and recognizable uniform program that will truly set them apart in an increasingly competitive industry.
Judy Anderson
Services are the present and future development trend for enterprise software. We've all agreed to speak the lingua franca of services. This is immensely important to customers; just as HTML enabled the explosion of the Web, SOA is doing the same for business applications.
Andrew Leigh
If you look at the data, you will see sales of hybrid cars have doubled every year since they were introduced in 1999 in the U.S., and we just see that trend continuing. We want to be the company that hybrid car owners think of when it's time to buy their auto insurance.
Jennifer Wislocki
This is pretty much what we expected based on market research and conversations with executives from ECA member companies. It's good news, but it's difficult to ascertain whether it is a trend. We had a strong January in 2004 before the index went downhill, and we had a weak start last year before a sustained rebound that began around June.
Bob Willis
We're going to see no enormous change in trend. Ahead of the upcoming [earnings] reporting season, the market mood is going to remain apprehensive.
George Hodgson
The U.S. dollar trend is going to rise through the end of the first quarter of 2006. Until it becomes clear the Fed is finished tightening rates, I don't think we will see a change in the trend.
Richard Grace
What is the ultimate profitability? If you have any negative trend in a major component of the business, it's going to be difficult to find buyers for the stocks.
Steve Weinstein
If the City Council does not radically alter the trend in housing, then Davis in 2020 will become a much more exclusive community and ... a larger percentage of its workforce than today will be living elsewhere. ... And that, in particular, if we do not require a good portion of the new houses to be permanently affordable, then while we may have smaller homes, they will be very expensive homes.
David Thompson
Metals are rising very fast, but this bullish trend should stay during the first half of the year.
Hiroyuki Kitakata
The trend to travel rods has risen steadily since they were introduced. They now comprise about 60 percent of our sales. A travel rod is a great choice for the plug caster who might want to take a fly rod on a big trip, but doesn't want to go overboard in gearing up. You toss the tube in the the duffle and there it is ready to go when the circumstances are right.
Dave Hayward
It is a real increase in head count and percentages, and it has been trending upwards every year since 1999.
Richard Bayer
We continue to be pretty bullish about the trend this holiday season. I didn't see any shopping mall specialty stores that had the kind of traffic we did, ... It's certainly a testament to what the brand stands for.
Richard Schulze
The trend has not changed in that a recovery in corporate profits is leading to rises in capital spending.
Takumi Tsunoda
Through our meeting in Italy, it was clear Trend USA is a company ideally suited to take advantage of the unmatched accessibility Miami-Dade offers. As with many other foreign companies that have decided to establish headquarter operations here, Miami-Dade will be the perfect location for Trend to continue their success.
Frank R. Nero
The trend in the last couple of years has been a decline in unemployment. I'm seeing certain occupational sectors showing signs of strain where they are not able to find enough workers.
Shelley Allen
Hopefully that's not a trend you want to continue to do because if you go win, loss, win, loss then you go 8-8 and your chances of making the playoffs aren't great.
Rosevelt Colvin
This remarkable development trend with the growing shortage will make China's power market, at least in the next 15 years, a huge opportunity to the international corporations in this field.
Xie Zhenhua
More generally, it looks like the long-awaited trend improvement in Australia's exports could be upon us.
Rob Henderson
In terms of market dynamics, just look at the broadband trend and the growth in the wide range of devices. I wouldn't say we're going into an era where PCs are irrelevant, and I certainly wouldn't say that to PC Magazine, but I think we're going into an era where the PC is just one of a number of important devices.
Rob Glaser
The September data indicate a general weakening in the job picture nationwide -- a trend we were seeing before the recent hurricanes, ... That data is consistent with the latest CEO Confidence Survey, which is also down.
Ken Goldstein
There's a trend across the country to not put out a price list and allow the buyers to determine what the value is.
Tom Jenkins
I think this is definitely a wake-up call for Intel. This is really a telling trend that AMD can compete.
Matt Sargent
Nick seems to be wrestling better and better each week. If that trend continues, he has a good chance of qualifying for state.
Tom Chicantek
[When an analyst asked whether slower growth in bad debt during the first quarter was] sort of a fluke, ... You know, this is a volatile business. You have some months that are up and some months that are down and what you've got to do is kind of look and say, 'What is the trend, and what do you feel about it?' .
Jack Bovender
Can anyone believe that today's rally suggests a change in the trend? We are not that optimistic.
Kazuyuki Naito
Price growth is on a softening trend and we continue to believe that the outlook for the housing market over the medium term is one of flat to falling prices.
George Buckley
The strong net sales increase in the first quarter is the continued reflection of our dynamic growth trend of the last year. These excellent figures will propel us towards reaching our set goals for 2006.
Hubertus Erlen
We monitor women's fashion magazines, like Vogue and W, to trend spot and see what's on the horizon. It's all about timing, and trying to predict what will be hot, and to stay ahead of the curve.
Rodney Salinas
As I read it, the president is determined not to be forced into reductions that go against the trend of events. It would be rash to predict. I am sure there will be reductions, but the number will probably stay quite high.
Jeremy Greenstock
People have said there is an integrity about me, and I think there is. I don't try to follow a trend. I have my own little path.
Sarah Brightman
The upward interest rate trend will continue because the real interest rate is still negative.
Ampon Kittiampon
The idea is that the Fed has a little more work to do, but inflation doesn't look to be a problem and the economy is showing trend-level growth.
William Hornbarger
The underlying rise in mortgage lending was close to trend in January, suggesting stronger growth towards the end of 2005 may not have established a sustained upturn in lending.
David Dooks
We're seeing some evidence of some slowing in the economy, which is a good thing, but we need a little longer time to call it a trend. And I think that is what the Fed is watching too.
Bob Dickey
Although our statewide population growth in 2005 is modest, what is important is the upward trend in county growth. Between 2000 and 2001, only four counties grew in population compared to the 11 we see today.
Richard Rathge
We characterize this trend as the 'growing operational gap' between the level of IT staffing and the requirements their companies are placing on their infrastructure, particularly their networks. A solution for bridging this operational gap is for networking vendors to develop more intelligent products and features that will help boost an IT manager's operational efficiency.
Zeus Kerravala
It's definitely a growing trend. Team in Training has the model that a lot of other charity organizations are copying.
Jeff Graves
We do have a peak deployment strategy that sees more officers on the road on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It's a continual study. If there's a change in trend and (officers) do need to re-evaluate where they need to be, they have the statistics.
Sal Basilone
The general trend is that our campaign is clearly rising at a steady, very solid pace. We are winning people over.
Felipe Calderon
Although an improvement on trend from our first quarter, our sales performance this quarter is still not at the level we know we can achieve.
George Heller
Disney's challenged the zoo world to up the ante. The trend is to be more theatrical, put storytelling in there. But they shouldn't try to go to the level of 'faux authenticity' that Disney can achieve.
James Zoltak
Sooner or later we shall achieve unanimity. Prices will keep growing. This is the hard fact. It is a world trend. As for the pace of growth, it is still to be decided on.
Vladimir Litvin
For 50 years, Americans fled the urban center. Now people are fleeing the suburbs for the urban core. That's going to be a 50- to 100-year trend. And we're right on the front of that.
Dave Wamsley
If you're an international oil company and see this trend, it must be worrying.
Yasser Elguindi
There is clearly a policy shift underway. We're talking about a bad trend; not just a cooling but a deterioration in relations.
Masha Lipman
Consumers are choosing digital music subscription services and Samsung supports this trend with the first 4GB flash player to offer subscription capabilities.
Mark Farish
Our roads and streets are getting less safe. A lot of it's due to reckless driving, and we should be reversing that trend by having stricter enforcement.
Damien Newton
It's just a statistical correction after the very strong months before. The long-term upward trend is very strong.
Dirk Schumacher
There is a significant trend toward consolidating systems management features into fewer tools. Customers want to minimize the number of agents that perform overlapping functions.
David Friedlander
The new data reflect a continuation in the trend we have seen since the mid-1990s of a decreasing number of doctors leaving Canada for opportunities in other countries.
Steve Slade
Gourmet pizza is definitely a trend.
Jeremy White
In some populations, increasing restrictions on tobacco use may be another factor. And while the overall trend cannot be explained by medication use, certainly the declines in the elevated blood pressure values are partly due to better medical care.
Dr. David L. Katz
With November comparable down 8 percent and the company lowering guidance once again, Hot Topic continues to be on the wrong side of the fashion trend with no near term catalysts in sight. Hot Topic will obviously need to take deep markdowns in order to clear unwanted holiday product.
Brian Tunick
A decline in shipments following the holiday quarter is expected of mature markets, and the handheld devices market is no different. After nine consecutive quarters of year-over-year decline, many are wondering how long this trend will continue, and whether the market will see a reverse.
Ramon Llamas
That's sort of the trend in the industry.
Richard Smith
An executive wants to know where the company is and where it's going. Tactically, they still need the important numbers so they can run the business, but in general they're looking for trending information that enables them to better understand the market their company services to better determine where they should make large, long-term investments in the sales department.
Wayne Latterell
We hope to average 3,300 seats per game, which means that on different occasions we will have to have sell-outs. But I believe we'll be trending closer to 4,000 than 1,000.
Todd Speer
This is a trend going on around the country.
Roland Swenson
It's going to be a gradual warming trend overnight.
Howard Waldron
The trend on the market is still down.
Mike Viracola
It's been a trend that they compete like heck. There are not very many places where the pressure and expectations are that high.
Scot Loeffler
The highest (profit) margin business is the intellectual property business. I think there's a trend of (companies) still being involved in parks, but on a licensing basis.
James Zoltak
Linux will be integral on all IBM platforms, even the S/390. This is an evolutionary trend.
Frank Dzubeck
If you're going to succeed in growing market share, you need to have the product on the shelf, ... Our strategy is to be in stock and provide real value for consumers. The last thing we want to do is pass up an opportunity to take advantage of a trend we see taking place in our stores.
Richard Schulze
We've expected existing home sales to weaken for some time. It does appear that we're starting to see that trend manifest itself.
Gordon Kettle
The trend we're seeing is that they're realizing that more is not always better. If something goes bad for government, it's bad for SAP.
Tim Mccormick
It's risky just to sit back and wait for an upward trend in inflation to show up before we do something.
Robert Parry
It will be more like linebackers than most of us look like now. That's the trend anyway, better athletes playing golf.
Joe Durant
There's a lack of catalysts today, and so we're trending downward. I think the market has discounted a lot of the bad news, but there are still some day-to-day fears about interest rates, about the presidential election or about terrorism.
Doug Sandler
This is all the trend that says, actually folks, with a western Europe cost base you can't make money in this segment, so it is entirely logical.
Stephen Cheetham
We were almost reluctant to go that way. But we knew we needed to follow the trend. New country was beginning to cross over into rock, which was creating a new style of music, and it caught on very heavily.
Russ Suemnicht
These cases are not yet a trend of where things are going. The meatier issues are still unpredictable at this point.
Richard Dieter
It is a trend because national chains are looking at destinations. Obviously, the mystique, the uniqueness, the ambiance of the River Walk pulls them into this.
Greg Gallaspy
In the past our bettors have correctly predicted the outcome of television shows like American Idol, as well as world events including the Papal conclave and Presidential elections. If the betting trend continues, it could mean the end of the line for Uncle Junior or Christopher, who both have several risk factors making them vulnerable to being killed-off.
Simon Noble
The actual size of the fall in February is fairly significant. Obviously if the trend does soften in the next few months then the housing market could be losing some momentum.
Alan Castle
Inflation for August was 0.1 per cent a welcome reduction from the previous months. While increases in bus fares and oil-related increases are likely to have a negative impact in September, assuming we have no adverse weather events, food prices are likely to fall as supply increases. The trend, therefore, should be for the inflation rate to return to lower levels.Thi.
Colin Steele
The new Medicare prescription drug benefit reflects the growing trend toward preventing illnesses and better managing the health of seniors, ... It will enable people to save money and live healthier lives.
Pete Hoekstra
We'll see hopefully a nice trend.
John Mancinelli
The idea is that the Fed has a little more work to do and the economy is showing trend-level growth. A really ugly housing number could hurt consumer spending, but that hasn't been the case yet. A soft number helps the market.
William Hornbarger
The last 18 months have shown some progress for low-wage workers. But the majority of gains have been at the upper end. My guess is that the gap is going to be widening. Is everyone going to be better off? I don't think that narrowing is going to be a long-term trend.
Stephen Levy
Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
Jeffrey Sachs
But I think the underlying trend in terms of consumer spending and overall economic spending is actually up.
Charles Lieberman
And look at the room growth. Capacity isn't enormous given the weight of baby boomers who have more time and money than anyone ever before. This is Las Vegas' sweet spot. And most of them won't even start turning 65 until 2014 so Las Vegas has a good eight years of benefits from that trend.
Andrew Zarnett
We expect to see the continuation of the slowing trend in many markets.
Mark Milner
The macro trend is favorable for all these players.
Michael Tieu
Consumption is strong and wages are rising, so the CPI trend is improving. In six months, deflation will be over.
Masaaki Kanno
What they're proposing is more like a shopping center where people drive up and park near the stores they want to shop and go in through a main door. There seems to be a trend away from the small malls. [Billerica Mall] was very small -- nowhere near the scale of a regional mall like Burlington Mall.
Peter Kennedy
The numbers aren't final but we have sampled out polling stations and the trend shows voter turnout will be about 70 percent.
Ofwono Opondo
Feeder-calf prices could hold in the mid-$90s at the lows if exports are back to 2.5 billion lbs. — and corn prices remain in check. If exports fail to grow, prices will trend lower.
Randy Blach
Despite the decline in headline producer price pressures, the risks of deflation have clearly vanished and signs of inflationary pressures have emerged. With the Fed holding real rates below zero, we expect producer prices to continue their upward trend in the months ahead.
Brian Wesbury
If it's a seesaw, it's a little bit tilted in favor of renters. If the occupancy trend continues, then people aren't going to be putting rents up. Rents would at least stay stable and possibly decline.
Chris Bates
It's good news if you can increase participation and increase performance of that group at the same time, ... It goes against the trend.
Brian O'reilly
Taken together with the buoyancy of the service sector, the manufacturing figures leave us on track for trend GDP growth, or even slightly better, going into this year, which is consistent with the MPC keeping interest rates on hold.
Nick Kounis
The trend for reduced unemployment rates is pleasing but as a government, we still have more work to do to with our industrial relation reforms and changes to unfair dismissal laws, which will remove the monkey on the back of small business.
Bob Baldwin
This is a very significant result, and it's not some sort of trend that's going to shift back the other way.
David Barber
Price pressures remain but continue to show a moderating trend.
Philadelphia Fed
From what we can see, it's a trend that is moving into Eastern Washington from Western Washington.
Brad Taylor
I think that (packed byline) is an increasing trend when you get real large-scale issues like this. No one person knows how to put it all together.
Terry Chapin
Some of that is just the raw business climate. I'm not telling you we should pop open the champagne. But from my perspective, the trend line is going in the right direction.
Tim Mcnulty
Women, if left to their own devices, are going to tend and trend Democratic. That is absolutely the case. Women are still congenitally Democratic -- and I'm the Republican pollster saying that.
Kellyanne Conway
Economic activity in the first quarter clearly picked up from the previous quarter and the trend that was reached should more or less hold in the second quarter. However, that means that the expected acceleration did not occur.
Otmar Issing
Of course it's difficult to attribute any particular hurricane or hurricane season to global warming. But there's reason to believe there may be a trend here, and we ought to study it more.
Jim Lawrence
It's all about how the storms stack up. We have heavy snow years and light snow years. It's not indicative of any trend.
Bob Higgins
We're concerned there's a trend toward critical drugs being made by just one company. When companies merge, some products are discontinued for a variety of reasons.
Joe Deffenbaugh
It took a little courage to set out and do something modern, but we were convinced that modern and high-design is the forward trend. We're very focused on our positioning and our image and the entire basket of goods, rather than simply having a hotel and putting residences on top.
Marty Collins
One person's trend is another person's fluctuation.
Richard Alley
We are seeing a trend shift with travelers now favoring classic popular destinations such as Rome, Venice, Paris and London, while Eastern Europe was all the rage in 2005. With all of the incredible variety Europe has to offer, it was surprising that the top two cities according to travelers are both in Italy.
Michele Perry
We are facing an epidemic of obesity that threatens the public health of California and the rest of the nation. We must improve our children's nutrition and level of physical activity if we are going to reverse this trend.
Sandra Shewry
Piracy on campuses has been a concern for quite a while, and we have been actively engaged in a number of efforts with universities to get the word out to students. This particular trend or growing problem is something that is a more recent development, and we are working on all fronts to stay on top of all means of piracy and addressing them.
Gayle Osterberg
It is a very, very low potency heroin mixture. We don't anticipate it becoming a trend, but we are aware of it, and we'll certainly watch for it.
Rogene Waite
Beth threw well again tonight. It's continuing a trend for Beth this season. She's hitting her spots and limiting her walks, which is keeping opposing batters from focusing on a certain pitch. She's handling herself very well.
Tina Deese
Sadly, this is a real trend.
Linda Blair
This is definitely part of a major trend in the industry.
Kirk Paulsen
European stocks have had a very good run and there is no reason why the trend should stop. We may see short-term profit-taking, but I don't expect a strong correction.
Alberto Espelosin
Trigger a trend of confrontation, which is bound to escalate and where everyone stands to lose.
Sirus Nasseri
It's just stupid. When's all this stuff going to happen? What's going to happen between now and then? You invest because you see a trend that's real, because you see a real business.
Jeff Matthews
The trend toward consolidation is being driven by globalization, with mergers giving companies from all industries sufficient scale and a lower cost structure to enable them to compete in a global arena.
James Mulva
The main point though is that output growth has now been below trend for five quarters and we can't see that changing over the next year or so.
Philip Shaw
We view the 8th as a swing district that is trending more Democratic each cycle.
Paul Berendt
We think pets are the next huge trend. It's a $40 billion dollar industry. Pets are our other babies.
Kelly Mooney
The market has been in a lateral consolidation for the last six to eight weeks, and we're seeing a continuation of that. Having broken through some technical resistance levels, it is appropriate that there has been some profit-taking. But the general trend of the market remains positive longer-term.
Scotty George
It's a little too early to say anything. It's not necessarily a trend. Things fluctuate from year to year and from month to month. You could have a high month in January, and it could even out pretty quickly.
Jess Brown
A fairly balanced credit trend for the year is anticipated, as a focus on cost reductions over the preceding three years is helping to offset continuing pricing pressures across almost all sectors. Similarly, increasing M&A activity, dividends, and share repurchases offset improving financial profiles, further supporting expectations for a balanced ratings trend.
William Wetreich
Yields are going to continue to trend upward as the Fed keeps raising rates. The Fed believes that the risk of inflation is skewed to the upside and in order to alleviate that risk, they need to keep raising rates.
Joseph Shatz
This is a very scary trend. In the past, people could say, 'It's not in my neighborhood and I don't have to worry about it.' That's no longer the case.
Aaron Graham
Angling is one of America's most popular sports. It's a sport everyone can enjoy. Spending time on the water is a great way for families and friends to connect. We see this as a good sign and a trend that we want to see continue.
Mike Nussman
Don't buy your favorite stock until you see the earnings statement. It's better to have the trend with you than guess at a bottom.
Barry Hyman
The trend will continue. There is no indication that it will turn around. Actually, it seems to be getting worse.
James Hill
This industry is consolidating as it becomes more global. We are leading a new trend that we believe will change the future and the face of this industry.
Robert Eaton
The markets have been on a very good run over the last few months. Perhaps this is the end of that trend.
Jimmy Yates
This is a continuation of a trend that's already been in place. We don't have a huge inflation problem, but it seems to me that people don't give enough weight to the possibility something like that is brewing.
James Padinha
The market is much calmer. Basically it was the continuation of yesterday's trend today, helped by a rise in U.S. stocks.
Carlos Augusto Levorin
Normally there is a diversion of 2 to 3 percent. Instead we saw an increase. We bucked the trend and swung to get 5 percent.
Dan Stessel
Key economic data released recently such as the December consumer price index and industrial output data also show that Japan is emerging from deflation. Today's data emerged in line with this trend.
Tatsuya Torikoshi
Elena plays against a bunch of those girls and they know what she is throwing or if she's slow. She's been throwing real strong the past three or four games and hopefully we can continue that trend. Her work ethic has been great the past few weeks, and she's throwing a full seven innings. She wants to beat them as much as they want to beat us.
Michelle Rochinski
If I've seen a trend, teams have been much more pro-active to try to negotiate so that it doesn't become an issue in July - more than I've seen in the past.
Don Meehan
Almost all of this slowing trend is due to the dramatic swings in Information employment in L.A. County.
Ryan Ratcliff
It is more towards the Kenyatta aloofness. It is delegation without taking responsibility. Ministers are contradicting each other. They are issuing statements that endanger the nation. But the President is quiet. It is not a good trend.
Joseph Kamotho
This is a trend we been watching for a number of years. It's only a matter of time before debit overtakes credit.
Kenny Thomas
One of the things we know is that this is a worldwide trend. It's not just in the United States.
Beth Robertson
I would say it's a dueling trend that retail mutual fund companies are starting hedge fund like vehicles to retain that talent. That is a weapon in a fund company's arsenal.
Christine Benz
This is only half the story. Nokia is clearly having good volumes. Now we need to see what the margins are and whether this is a one-quarter phenomenon or a long-term trend.
Damien Chew
From a yield perspective, the pound is looking attractive as the trend appears to be to buy yield. For now, the pound is likely to remain strong on uncertainty over the outlook for U.S. rates.
Kamal Sharma
You could make the case that maybe some play patterns trend toward the more wholesome, more palatable toys. It resonates more with children given what we may see, or what we're hearing right now.
Melissa Williams
Contrary to the prevailing gold industry trend, our cost profile is expected to decline significantly in the year ahead, while our gold production is projected to increase by more than 50 per cent over the same period.
Kevin Mcarthur
It's clear that people currently working should factor into their retirement planning the long-term trend away from traditional defined benefit pensions. That means people need to be saving more than they are.
Jack Vanderhei
We are actively reaching out to Eclipse developers. We think Eclipse is the way things are trending.
Adam Gross
We urge the Supreme People's Court to conduct an immediate review of this decision with a view to overturning it. Extending the death penalty to cover more crimes goes against the international trend towards abolition.
Mark Allison
We are still very much on an upward trend, but I think it is good that we did some profit-taking today.
Julio Mora
The trend in the last couple of years has been a decline in unemployment.
Shelley Allen
This simplification of 'Wellness' to the 'Power to Be Happy' is part of a larger social trend to embrace personal pleasures and comforting values. Consumers anticipate that being happy makes them healthier, and that when they take better care of their health, they are better able to be happy.
Barbara Katz
It has been a long hard August with significant volatility. Twenty-one of the last 30 Septembers have yielded losses on the month. It is difficult to see that this September will buck the trend.
David Buik
There are less and less places to enjoy the product, and this plays right into that trend. We're really hoping to capitalize on connoisseurship in the cigarette category. When you look at beer, wine, chocolate and other high-quality products that have a branded experience associated with them that have emerged in the past 10 to 15 years, that hasn't happened in cigarettes.
Brian Stebbins
The New York gains are nice, but a rebound of this scale is not enough to turn the bearish trend around.
Kunihiro Hatae
You've got to break out of this downward trend to get higher. Sometimes, in order to do that, you've got to sell off a lot more first. We're just dribbling right now, but there's the potential to go a lot lower.
Frank Gretz
We eventually decided to transform ourselves into a sales promotion agency, which turned out to be the first one in America. We had started a trend and defined a new category of communications services.
Robert Sandelman
It's a very tight marketplace with a very short supply of viable talent, and we expect that trend to continue for the next 12 to 18 months. In the manager, senior manager and executive levels, we're seeing even more urgency among employers looking for good candidates both locally and from outside Las Vegas.
Bill Werksman
The recent set of data came weaker than a market consensus, but the basic trend is that the economic recovery is in progress.
Susumu Abe
Everyone has their own reasons for it. I don't necessarily think it's one trend. I know (Hilton Head Christian coach) Matt Smith hopes it's not. I talked to him, I said, 'Hey, you're just grooming them, man. Just start grooming them, funnel them my way, funnel them ...' I give him a hard time.
Nathan Stevens
It is a little bit of a trend with the price of fuel going up and (biofuels) being environmentally friendly. There is a niche market for it.
Peter Nelson
The economy continues to grow at more or less its trend rate and there is no obvious reason for interest rates to change in the near future.
Martin Weale
The normal trend in pro sports is that you will realize a spike [in ticket sales] a year after you enjoy success. That's what we're experiencing right now. Fans have embraced this team. They have confidence in what we accomplished last year.
Bob Dibiasio
The equity market is still undecided about the overall trend of stocks. All in all the earnings so far have not been well received by investors and it looks as if stocks have to come down in price to attract investors.
Tom Hougaard
We want to make sure it doesn't continue, that this is a trend, make sure our members, consumers have the information they need to protect themselves.
Jimmy Baker
This is huge, and it's certainly the mark of the beginning of a trend in food service toward organic.
Jake Lewin
If we see an upward trend in delinquency ratios, we tighten our lending, but we have not had to do that.
Richard Herrington
The cheerleader calendar increased in popularity and sales each year (since 2002). We are confident this year?s version will continue that trend.
Mark Donovan
The things that have been accepted in recent years have been the ones that cut costs for producers. That will continue to be a trend.
Barry Nelson
