The lack of an heir apparent meant that nobody was interested in the stock. At least now there is a catalyst for more upside than before.

Arnold Berman

Any upside in the greenback today may be mitigated by tomorrow's (Friday's) trade balance figures, which are the key release of the week. If they show a larger-than-expected deficit for June, dollar selling will dominate the theme in the currency markets.

Charmaine Buskas

We still like the HP story and think the stock has room for additional upside potential.

Keith Bachman

I think the initial read of the numbers was disappointing for a lot of people. Guidance as of last quarter was $500 (million)-to-$530 million. With typical analyst and investor behavior, we expect companies to upside from what their guidance is.

Jason Tsai

We've already had really good reports from Microsoft and Intel and those are the two most important suppliers to Dell. Both had upside surprises from their PC and server-related business.

Mark Stahlman

There is a debate as to whether this is a relief rally or the start of a second half recovery, ... But the year has been bleak for the group and since we had such a big pullback early on, I think chip stocks have more upside.

Richard Whittington

The boat was overturned, just floating upside down in the water. All the safety gear, paddles, vests, were along the shore.

John Archer

I think an upside to book stocks will come if these two books generate a lot of traffic into bookstores and boost sales of other books as well.

Howard Tubin

We believe this partnership with FEMSA will strengthen Kaiser's overall position in the Brazilian market. By maintaining a minority ownership interest and the possibility of launching Coors Light in Brazil, we expect to continue to participate in the upside we see in the Kaiser business and the Brazilian beer market.

Leo Kiely

The deal is a clear sign that it still pays to be overweight Mexico and we expect to see more upside.

Carlos Asilis

Going into the announcement, there was hope that they would be able to provide some upside because listings were relatively strong during the quarter.

Brian Keane

The shareholders of both Guidant and Boston Scientific will benefit from the significant upside potential of the combined company, which will be strongly positioned in a wide range of medical markets and be supported by a more diversified base of revenues and earnings.

Pete Nicholas

It just seems to me that with the stock at $50, the upside is only 109 percent. But if it doesn't happen, then there's significant downside for that stock.

Mark Wilde

Surprisingly, the main driver of the upside in the quarter was Ford's automotive operations, which posted a pretax loss of $12 million, much better than our forecast for a loss of $910 million. Within automotive, North America accounted for the majority of the upside.

John Murphy

Going forward, we expect the economy to show positive year-on-year and seasonally adjusted rates in the quarters ahead, but the 1.8 percent Central Bank estimate appears to have more downside than upside risk at the moment.

Michael Gavin

The upside to the disk problem was that we recovered the old system to the SAN.

Jeff Berliner

My feeling is that an upside break will be a head fake and a downside break will lead to a major decline that will likely test the September 2001 lows.

Bernie Schaeffer

The big kicker here is the potential for oil and gas in Equatorial Guinea. This will give Hess potential significant upside if they have additional discoveries there.

Eugene Nowak

We put so much energy into our stage show. Even if you don't like the music, you'll be entertained. We're so into it we have people hanging upside down from the ceiling, getting up on high places and jumping into the crowd. We've come dangerously close to hitting people before.

Evan Sammons

Go see 'The Upside of Anger.' .

Evan Rachel Wood

With few signs that consumer prices are about to break to the upside ... along with signs that aggregate demand remains robust, we expect the Fed will not only vote to keep rates constant, but will leave the growth and inflation bias statements unchanged.

Ethan Harris

We had him ranked as a first-round talent, ... We think he really has a good upside with the use of the NBDL. This makes it a better situation for all of us. We have a deep team and we're going to be able to bring him along slowly.

Ernie Grunfeld

Pole vaulting is all about strength and mental toughness. I'm afraid of heights, but I can vault over 11 feet. You have to be able to realize that you're going to go upside on the pole and you can hurt yourself like I did. You have to know what you're getting into.

Erin Lippie

Given the very robust environment of demand and Intel's new product lineup, we had surmised that there might have been upside. As it turned out, there was indeed more demand in the first quarter, but Intel could not meet it.

Erika Klauer

Overall, you have a very technical market pushing us to historical highs because once people got a feel for these higher levels, it has been an easy push to the upside and has been helped by lack of liquidity.

Enrique Alvarez

A family relying on a teacher's salary or a city employee's salary is solidly middle class as long as that money's coming in. When it's cut off, they're committed to financial obligations that will quickly turn them upside down.

Elizabeth Warren

This sudden jump turned her driving experience upside down and her whole world upside down. She lost the most precious thing there was to her. Her intoxication had nothing to do with that.

Elbert Hatchett

I think we were probably a bit overdone on the upside and there's some profit-taking taking place today.

Edward Meir

Materially higher than expected revenue growth and better than expected cost side performance drove the upside in what we view as a high quality, clean quarter.

Edward Wolfe

Once again, UPS reported stronger-than-expected volume growth but was not able to leverage that growth into strong upside margin improvement, as yields continued to decelerate.

Edward Wolfe

CSX's report shows steady improvement on the cost side and it continues to benefit from the strong yield environment that all the rails are seeing. However, the vast majority of the upside in the quarter was driven by gains on sales and we don't expect estimates to rise as fast for CSX as some of the other rails.

Edward Wolfe

Capping the upside is the fact that inventories have not drawn much despite the cold weather we have had thus far and therefore are not unsettling the markets much.

Ed Meir

The surprises should be on the upside. It all adds up to very good fourth-quarter numbers.

Ed Yardeni

Metal stocks still have the fundamental support as the global demand for metals will be on the upside.
