Expect wild volatility along the way.

David L. Katz

As long as war hasn't started there will be uncertainty, there will be volatility and there will be fear.

Lewis Borsellino

What's been holding (Tandy) back is the volatility of the computer business over the last six months or so. The sale is going to be extremely positive.

Kent Mergler

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.

In all you're seeing sort of a mixed reaction out there. The oil data was good because of the distillates, but you're still seeing oil prices higher because of demand. And we're seeing a lot of volatility across the board.

Clearly the volatility in the market has just been unbelievable. The Nasdaq in this week alone going to today's session was up 11 percent.

Brian Piskorowski

Expect volatility to go higher and trading ranges to expand.

Michael Driscoll

Barbara Steinmetz

Multifamily is attractive because of its low volatility and higher risk-adjusted returns relative to other property types.

Cai Luoyi

The key reason for our increase in profit was global crude price volatility.

Subir Raha

Charles White

In periods of uncertainty or crisis, markets do tend to perform together. Over a time frame of five to 10 years, that volatility would ease and diversification between markets would become more visible.

Philip Bowman

This was a disappointing quarter. While second-quarter results were affected by the volatility of our mortgage servicing rights, the root of our problem is the unacceptably high cost structure in our mortgage banking business. We know what we need to do, our efforts are well under way, and we will not be satisfied until we have fixed it.

Kerry Killinger

To lower consumer confidence levels, driven primarily by the volatility of fuel costs. We anticipate these factors, along with a continued shift in product mix, to continue into fiscal 2006.

Bruce Hertzke

The Fed will probably go along with what the market has priced in to minimize volatility and any policy surprises.

Thomas Lam

We're not recommending it because we expect volatility based on the price risks it takes, and we'd only recommend a fund with such a high expense ratio if it had a very long track record of success.

Dan Culloton

The volatility we see in the marketplace is going to continue.

This kind of volatility is to be expected in markets with supply inelasticity.

Jeffrey Kagan

Technology funds and small-cap funds are where the volatility is going to be.

Gary Ambrose

In today's market, everyone is a Fed-watcher. Hopefully we will not lose any transparency and will lose some of the volatility.

Christopher Low

We're seeing a lot of volatility, a lot of indecision as people bail out of stocks and other people jump in, ...

David Herron

Our business is really increasing with John Deere. We steered clear of the automotive industry because of the volatility of that market and the constant price pressures.

It's just continued extreme volatility.

Alex Tang

Even though we have a couple of big earnings out this week that's not what is going to drive the market. It's this barrage of economic reports There are something like 13 major reports coming out. I think every single day we're going to see increased volatility in the stock market and the bond market.

Robert Froelich

I think near-term volatility is going to persist. There is a general sense of lack of direction in the market.

Yingxi Yu

The market is being affected somewhat by the volatility and expectations surrounding the exchange rate.

Carlos Samano

Both domestic and tourism spending remained very robust during the period, consistent with the local consumption picture in Hong Kong and higher tourist arrivals. Despite the volatility in retail sales figures in recent months, the trend is still pretty strong.

Alan Braverman

The volatility that we're seeing is ... (because) greater than 50 percent of the activity is program trading. The swings are really violent.

John Spinello

The hope was that it would reduce volatility, but this quarter it added to it. We lost money as opposed to making money on it.

James Dimon

Anthony Gibson
