It is a strange market at the moment and frankly I am surprised that the rise we've seen earlier in the week from the Ukraine-Russia dispute is still there. People still feel a bit shaky about what happened in Russia and Ukraine, and with Sharon ill and some uncertainty in Israel.

Simon Wardell

People were looking to sell the zloty as it's done very well and Balcerowicz provided an excuse to do so. Any uncertainty in Poland is always going to come from politics, providing reasons to sell the currency.

Tania Kotsos

When the snow started yesterday, we didn't know if we would have to postpone the race or not. I think [the uncertainty] is what kept some people away. But, we had a lot of walk-in registrations this morning. It was still a good turn-out.

Linda Cohen

I believe so, we're in the taper phase. The proof will be in the times at the meet. There's always a little bit of uncertainty in that. You basically work them hard and rest them out.

Mike Holtzapfel

There's a lot of uncertainty in the industry. We're rolling the dice.

Dale Huss

The whole thing about the form-based codes that developers like is it removes the uncertainty, ... It is a way to save a lot of time and money [for the town and the developer].

Barbara Green

In our view, guidance will be coming down, it is only a question of how far. We believe the recent departure of Todd Nelson will only add some uncertainty.

Jeff Silber

We want to stress that there's more downside and uncertainty ahead. But we remain optimistic that the strength of Florida's overall economy will carry us through.

Amy Baker

There's an awful amount of uncertainty. Consumers won't be sure where they stand. This Government simply doesn't like trusts and means to put a stop to them.

Mike Warburton

Given the lingering uncertainty related to the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission investigations and the management distractions of the past few months, it's likely that our earnings-per-share estimates for Titan, of 74 cents in 2004 and $1 in 2005, will need to be revisited.

Adam Weiner

Market turmoil is the best possible news for us. The more chaos and uncertainty in the marketplace, the better.

David Stanton

Customers turn to SAP for two reasons. One is the depth of our solution. The other is the enormous uncertainty of the alternative options.

Bill Wohl

At the same time, we need to proceed with some caution, because there's a fair bit of uncertainty about the economy's behavior right now.

Robert Parry

Last time, the market could handle uncertainty as there was a lot of slack but now because prices are so high, the market is not equipped to handle unplanned events.

Tony Nunan

People are switching to utilities because there is a lot of uncertainty in the market about how deep the rate cut will be.

Herbert Lau

It is calm now but this is superficial and deceptive. There is a lot of uncertainty ... There is a need for restraint from all, including the government and us in the opposition.

Beyene Petros

Both stocks are still clouded by this uncertainty over China's plan to change telecom service charges.

David Williamson

We have a fair idea how we would like to approach it but we are going with a little bit of uncertainty as to what is the perfect way of approaching the new regulations.

Tom Moody

The uncertainty of what has happened with the SCC [has been a factor], but not the primary reason [for the change]. The slowdown with the SCC gave us a chance to step back and see what we were going to do.

Stanley Sanger

Right now, there is quite a bit of uncertainty with the situation. We're looking for a new storm system moving in (tomorrow), and we're looking for rains, possibly to persist into the weekend. This one looks like it might produce some winds and thunderstorms where it hits hard and blasts through, affecting the entire state at different times.

Kevin Kodama

They have marked time by working off the (buyout price) premium and some of the uncertainty.

Dan Popowics

People will come back to chicken. If it gets cheap enough, people will eat it. Right now there is just quite a bit of uncertainty.

Christine Mccracken

The uncertainty had a lot of parents not allowing our children to go out. But now there is an air of relief.

Keith Murphy

The outlook on the economy is still subject to great uncertainty, but it's quite clear that there was no stumbling underway when the hurricanes hit.

Pierre Ellis

As the final results are not confirmed, there is scope for the New Zealand dollar to be a little shaky on account of the perceived uncertainty. This is exactly what has happened.

Sue Trinh

You replace an icon like Greenspan, in whom the markets had a lot of confidence, and risk premiums have been squeezed to very low levels, and inevitably there is going to be a rise in uncertainty.

Peter Hooper

I understand there is uncertainty but we've also got to make sure that we get things absolutely right and that what we are doing here is not just solving a problem of surplus places.

Rodney Berman

I can remember, even on up to the job I have now, some fair degree of uncertainty about whether I was the right person or was going to turn out to have the talents that it would take. Not just to be a manager or a CEO, but to be a good one.

David Bondy

The tragic events in New York and Washington, D.C., have created a great deal of economic uncertainty.

Ceo Duane Mcdougall

He helped me deal with the uncertainty.

Don Baylor

That adds an element of uncertainty.

Jeffrey Benton

Risks remain and uncertainty is on the rise, this was in substance the message of G7 finance ministers and central bankers this weekend, ... Even if global economic growth remains solid, it is suffering from high oil prices, U.S. deficits and the rise of protectionism.

Valerie Plagnol

The prospect for price improvement depends on the performance of the Asian and European economies, who are big users of metals, and the prospects are getting better. There's still a lot of uncertainty there, but relatively speaking the signs are fairly encouraging.

Ed Mckelvey

With so much uncertainty about the eventual positioning/future of Liz Claiborne's department store partners (former May Department Stores door closures, potential spin-offs of Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, repositioning of Sears), we would not be surprised to see Liz Claiborne management take a cautious approach to 2006 guidance.

Elizabeth Montgomery

The short-term effect is likely to be negative. This type of issue costs management time, leads to sizeable costs of lawyers and creates uncertainty.

Eric De Graaf

I was proud of our kids' effort today because it was not easy to come back after yesterday's disappointing loss and with the uncertainty of today's weather conditions.

Ed Mathey

While the company's sales funnel remains strong enough to exceed this range, the company gave a slightly conservative guidance to reflect uncertainty related to timing of certain orders.

Edward White

The [drug-approval] system was tested in ways it was never tested before. In an era of mass marketing, where data may show uncertainty and where the FDA has no real authority to take action, this class of drugs was set up to fail.

Eric Topol

The referral of Iran to the U.N. Security Council suggests that the crisis might have legs as the world tries to stop the Iranians from developing nuclear weapons. It does not matter what happens in Iran, it is the uncertainty about Iran that tends to be very bad for markets.

Ed Keon

It's a minimal La Nina right now. It's just crossed the threshold. There is some enhanced uncertainty as we get into the spring.

Ed O'lenic

The uncertainty surrounding the situation with Iran and their nuclear program has brought an added degree of volatility into the gold market.

Emanuel Balarie

Results are coming in strong, but the market is concerned that this will not be sustained in the near future. There's still a lot of uncertainty, and demand for stocks is suffering because of that.

Edgar Peters

This behavior was rational, and during this period of volatility and uncertainty, was not unexpected.

Ed Morse

The are definitely issues with staff morale. I think there have been a great deal of emotions regarding discouragement on the part of the staff, like uncertainty about positions and the direction that we are going. We do have hope in her, I think she will address these issues and take them seriously.

Ellen Perry

All my life I believed I knew something. But then one strange day came when I realized that I knew nothing, yes, I knew nothing. And so words became void of meaning. I have arrived too late at ultimate uncertainty.
