It's almost as if legislators are outsourcing one of their primary duties of drafting laws, and they're allowing the private sector to take over that responsibility. This is a full-time Legislature. You'd think that would be something that, rather than give lobbyists the primary duty to draft legislation, our full-time legislators should be doing.

Jay Heck

Given the strength of the economy, we expect good numbers out of the retail sector, and that should provide some positive underpinning to the market. I think it'll show that the retail sector remains very healthy.

Robert Walberg

In 2005, lending markets continued to support deals in the ARM industry and buyers were particularly aggressive, causing a notable rise in deal values for well-run, niche ARM companies; especially those in the debt buying sector.

Mark Russell

These unions are making a concerted effort to organize. It's the only sector of the union movement that's really growing. The hospitality industry is really dependent on undocumented workers.

Robert Korstad

I think the market is scared by uncertainty and that's what this election is giving us. And the most uncertain sector fundamentally is technology.

Brian Belski

Retailers are really getting squeezed especially in the largest retail sector, which is the supermarket sector. In the discount sector, Sears and Kmart would be at significant risk.

Burt Flickinger

Brian Kemp is an internationally-experienced veteran with nearly four decades of engineering and business development experience in the electronics sector. We are pleased to have him establish and grow our European presence.

Michael Devlin

It's not a disaster because you know this sector (pharmaceuticals) is very volatile. It's not a trend.

Nizam Idris

The broad conclusion from tons of academic research is that private sector does things better than government. In a lot of these cases privatization is the only thing do because (large state projects) require a lot of capital and government entities usually have limited access to capital.

Sam Peltzman

The corporate sector -- the guys who are supposedly in the know -- they're all selling.

James Montier

The survey for the final reading would have taken place over the past 10 days or so, when market volatility was particularly high, ... Because of that, the final reading very well could have come in below the preliminary reading. The fact it came in higher shows a certain amount of resilience in the consumer sector.

Patrick Fearon

A rebound today will allay fears the consumer sector is continuing to struggle. The improvement in the housing market should bolster consumer spending.

Gavin Redknap

The network, which is an ICT driven platform, will make the best use of knowledge resources of the overseas Indian community for state level projects in the social sector.

Rajasekhara Reddy

The second half of last year we started to see another list of projects in place. It is in a lucrative position with one of the strongest production profiles in the sector with very attractive margins as well.

Doug Leggate

The energy sector is weak today and that seems to be what is pulling against the tide in what would have been an otherwise slightly positive market.

Terry Milne

It's embarrassing and it does highlight the fact that there seem to be some real operational risk issues in NAB. Every time they write a loan, they code what sector it should be and they've been misallocating some of those codes.

Brian Johnson

The finance minister agreed that the public sector units cannot be allowed to bleed further.

Petroleum Minister Murli Deora

This is the down side of the hot real estate issue we're experiencing. If the private sector could make a profit doing this [developing affordable housing], they'd already be doing it.

Christopher Williams

I get the feeling they may have regretted that exit and they've probably been looking for a good reason to get back in with an eye on sector consolidation.

Sheila Garrard

We are in active discussions with them regarding alternative arrangements. In any event, Bear Stearns remains committed to the energy trading sector, and we intend to continue expanding our presence in the market.

Russell Sherman

Euro semiconductors are the weakest sector today. So it's extremely likely that some of that negativity is pressuring U.S. futures this morning.

Ben Funnell

Tech is once again leading the market; there's definitely money flowing into the sector. There's the belief that the corporate spending cycle is going to pick some steam.

Owen Fitzpatrick

We believe Roaming Messenger has a unique technology in the exciting and growing wireless sector. Especially their focus in the Homeland Security industry which continues to mature.

Brian Keane

I think the brokers, Schwab included, are really redefining themselves as asset gatherers, and as they look at where the growth is in the asset management sector, it's at the top of the food chain. This deal is a great value proposition for both shareholder groups.

Tom Theurkauf

Independently owned businesses drive Charlotte's economy. And for too long this so-called small-business sector has been an afterthought in the financial scheme of things. The needs of independently owned companies and professional firms are at the heart of everything we do.

Wes Sturges

If there comes a time when defense properties are priced in a way that we think makes sense for private equity investors, then we will certainly consider investing more of our dollars in that sector.

Chris Ullman

We do many things at the federal level that would be considered dishonest and illegal if done in the private sector.

Donald T. Regan

It's certainly a little bit worse than what some of their competitors are seeing. It's a pretty awful sector here.

Shawn Campbell

In any event, 2006 should be the lull before the storm - a rare opportunity for the aviation sector to consolidate ahead of the challenges likely in 2007 as fleet deliveries escalate, new products enter the market and pressures intensify on manpower costs, competition, capacity and yields.

Peter Harbison

There is a perception that energy is hot, and that there is big money to be made in the energy sector.

Michael Cosgrove

We don't see the type of value in the sector that we saw six or seven months ago.

Bob Straus

But we shouldn't act as though the private sector doesn't have its act together and the government does. There are also significant vulnerabilities in government.

Michael Vatis

The service sector in recent years has been an important driver of growth.

Ian Mccafferty

The convenience sector has changed rapidly, and given our evidence and the importance of this market for consumers, our provisional view is that it would be appropriate for the Competition Commission to investigate.

John Fingleton

This budget has deceived the common man. The tax system is regressive. Heavy concessions have been granted to the corporate sector and spending on education and healthcare has not been increased to the expected levels.

Gurudas Dasgupta

A lot depends on the value of the intellectual property. In the bio sector, no one knows what the future holds and if they have promising technology, there could be support. They are targeting a large potential market.

James Barrett

Right now, the market is going through rapid rotation and very little stability in the process of trying to find sector leadership.

Fred Dickson

They shouldn't lose sight of agriculture because it's always been the backbone, but they need to add value to it and diversify. The economy of the nation and world is changing, moving into a service sector economy.

Richard Rathge

We had some downgrades in the chip sector, so there are some worries about inventories and decelerating growth that's weighing on technology.

Robert Harrington

When looking at the private rented sector, it's important to remember that landlords are running a business in which customer demand is key. If individuals, couples or families need homes in a particular area, landlords are likely to respond to meet that demand.

John Heron

The retail sector is an industry to watch on the prospect that companies continue to post solid earnings.

Juichi Wako

We saw a lot of strength in the manufacturing sector in the NAPM report. That's why you saw bond yields rise today.

Charles Reinhard

The market's set to hold around the 5,000 level at the moment, with the retail sector coming under more and more pressure and UK house prices looking like they might come lower. The banks' potential credit risks become higher, bad debt provisions become bigger.

Martin Dobson

By engaging directly with the international private sector, we can help facilitate the enhanced development and implementation of effective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures, particularly in regions of strategic importance and jurisdictions that may lack fully functional AML/CFT regimes.

Patrick O'brien

That's the major risk, but nobody has told the construction sector in California because they were again the leading job growth sector (in December).

Howard Roth

Banking sector is a good defensive bet at current levels.

Sandeep Shenoy

We've been buying 30-year bonds, particularly since last autumn, and will continue to steadily buy the sector.

Tomoya Masanao

Continued growth in the custom sector of our business has fueled our rapid expansion, along with a high client-retention rate.

Andy Carr

I'm in a wait-and-see mode for the industry. We need to see how the sector digests pretty big Medicare cuts starting in January.

Nancy Weaver

I would suspect this would definitely be a private sector initiative.

Brent Thompson

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

Matt Buckland

I don't see a downside in the energy sector from where we are today. Down the road, there will ultimately be a great downside in the energy sector.

Jeff Rubin

Our trade is more on the resource-based sector. We need to find ways to increase trade in manufactured products.

Mari Pangestu

Right now it's probably the fastest growing drug sector.

Jason Kantor

That's a somewhat unusual and progressive view compared to many others in the corporate sector. The fact his company was willing to create a benefit for companies he never owned is exceptional.

Marco Trbovich

The one major data point we have yet to see from the retail sector is M&S.

Nick Bubb

Most life insurance companies lack the critical mass to survive long term. The sector is highly fragmented and rife with overcapacity. We do not see how most of the smaller players can effectively compete and remain profitable in this environment.

Rob Haines

With this merger, El Paso Energy will become the only company that is one of the top five companies in every sector of the wholesale natural gas and power arena, including natural gas transmission, production, gathering and processing, marketing, and power generation.

William Wise

The household spending number highlights the risks facing the consumer sector.

Simon Rubinsohn

Despite the sea of bad news lately in sector-wide demand, we see key progress at Oracle with its long-troubled 11i applications suite.

Bob Austrian

That is really the only sector in this employment outlook where you can see a softening that is carried through a quarter as well as on a year-over-year basis.

Jonas Prising

This acquisition is a good fit between two quality firms. [It] broadens our capabilities in an important geographic region and gives us added depth in providing attest services to the government sector.

Bill Hancock

At the end of last year, we set a new course for Textron, committing to reduce our role in the automotive sector and redefine our portfolio.

Lewis Campbell

ABB is one of the major beneficiaries of structural changes in the energy sector and upgrades to older grids.

Compared to 2004, production and services [in the space industry] have grown by 12.7%, or more than 2.5 times higher than in other industries (with the exception of the oil and gas sector).

Anatoly Perminov

Our party's position is clear. We are opposed to FDI in retail sector. The Government says it will allow FDI in branded goods. But it is a loose term as anything can be branded. We want the Government to specify the items where FDI is allowed.

Sitaram Yechury

There is significant value to both citizens and the public sector in greater sharing of contact details--name, address, date of birth, reference numbers--in a secure way across the public sector.

Des Browne

We are excited to have the support and cooperation of Microsoft in this endeavor. The challenges facing education can only be met through a community effort from the public and private sector.

Paul Vallas

This is a very important contribution from the public sector in terms of genetically modified food crops.

Joel Cohen

Strike action is the only option left to local government workers. They want to demonstrate the burning resentment and anger they feel over the government and employers taking away their pension rights when those same rights have been given to every other public-sector pension scheme.

Dave Prentis

The Internet sector is moving quickly, and a fund like this is appropriate.

Robert Zidar

Illinois home sales most likely have reached their peak level in this four-year expansion, and Realtors expect 2006 to see healthy activity in the housing sector with continued favorable price appreciation.

Stan Sieron

If it's viable, we will then look for investors, because it's costly. We will very much want to have more investors in the textile sector.

Susan Muhwezi

The deceleration in liquidity growth may be traced mainly to lower net credits to the public sector as a result of the improved fiscal performance.

Amando Tetangco

The problem is, cities have not been able to find ways to collect from tax-exempt organizations. The bigger problem is that nonprofits are the fastest growing sector in the U.S. economy.

Michael Pagano

It doesn't mean that much for the auto sector. There may be some fallout from the other suppliers, but everyone knows this is a very difficult situation, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better.

Tom Houghton

[Nortel's warning is] bad news for the (telecom) hardware sector and will hurt the likes of Ericsson and Nokia, ... valuations are close to the bottom for this year.

Jason James

There are a lot of doubts over the size and effect of new competitors in the cellular sector.

Antonio Machado

He is returning to the private sector. Any announcement about his replacement will be made in Washington.

Dana Smith

The sector has suffered over the years because of viability problems.

Rodney Ambrose

For now, these data are a stark reminder to the MPC that the economy is still dangerously reliant on the consumer sector, which still has problems of its own.

Paul Dales

I have just come back from Europe and talking to European bank analysts and some of the banks there that are significant lenders to the TMT sector, there is no sense that this is going to cause them any distress.

John Kellett

We believe the stock sold off yesterday on sector rotation, but we would be aggressive buyers of the stock at these levels, considering the strong fundamentals and attractive valuation.

Peter Costa

It is telling that the first major call for regulation to address the rapidly escalating impacts of climate change is coming from the finance sector.

Ross Gelbspan

A growing number of people may see companies in the private sector as putting profits before people and before ethics.

John Challenger

The sector is benefiting primarily from stronger global growth, although there is more anecdotal evidence this month of improvements in domestic demand.

Luke Thompson

The German economy is performing. Orders are healthy and the industrial sector is doing well, so the economy should grow by about 2 percent in 2006.

Steve Webster

What we need right now is earnings growth, and some sort of weakness in the retail sector is a threat to that.

Juergen Lukasser

The fall in retail sector profits reflects the inability of many retailers to pass on cost increases in an environment of weak consumer spending.

Stephen Walters

As we learned in Economics 101, a declining manufacturing sector is part of the normal process as an economy develops.

Matthew Ellis

Whilst much attention has been given to UK companies outsourcing jobs to India, the fact is that successful Indian businesses – notably in the technology sector – are expanding rapidly in the global market and bringing new jobs to London.

Michael Charlton

Robertson's comments represent a conservative sector of the American public that is highly nationalistic and at times bombastic.

Riordan Roett

This welcome recovery in HCV sales indicates a far more progressive approach towards fleet management in the very important distribution sector of our economy.

Frans Cloete

The story from the corporate sector is still fairly positive in terms of earnings and at the moment interest rates going up is more of a fear than a reality.

Chris Iggo

Cerberus has been in the lead in other supermarket sector bidding and has sometimes faded fast in the home stretch.

Burt Flickinger Iii

Only two of the 10 industry groups surveyed this month - chemicals and metal products - expect prices to rise in their sector over the coming three months. Cost pressures from high oil and transportation prices will only serve to depress profits further.

Ian Mccafferty

The economy is recovering just fine. The telecommunications business is still a growth sector.

Keiji Tachikawa

If you're holding a large, regional bank, somebody is going to buy it because it's such a rapidly consolidating sector.

Scott Adelson

That's one of the reasons we are now a little less aggressive in terms of running with enormous weightings in any sector.

Paul Wick

Greenspan and the Fed are trying to slow down consumer spending. It's hitting the retail sector across the board, the big multiples especially.

Alan Mak

I believe prospects for our energy cooperation are very bright indeed. It is only natural that a powerful, dynamically developing country like China is showing an interest in Russia's energy sector, while [Russian] companies are undoubtedly interested in the huge Chinese market, which offers plenty of room for teamwork.

Dmitry Medvedev

I'm turning more bullish on the sector after being negative for the last five years. There's a case to be made that 2006 will be a transition year and the industry will return to profitability in 2007.

Julius Maldutis

We've actually begun to edge up on the four-week moving average ... from [about] 380,000 to [about] 420,000, which brings into question the future sustainability of spending, particularly in the retail sector.

Lawrence Goodman

We want to make sure the information getting out on the sector is clear and comprehensive.

Randy Stratton

Among the countries whose per-capita yearly GDP is less than US$2,000, China has witnessed the fastest growth of Internet sector, and the boom reflects China's effective yet market-friendly regulation.

Wang Yan

It is ironic that these companies claim that Qualcomm's behavior has harmful effects on the mobile telecommunications sector when the facts are completely contrary.

Steve Altman

When our legislature gets a proposal from the private sector we can show them our results and measures.

Dale Weeks

Fairness has gone out of the window. The government has quite rightly agreed to give protection of their promised retirement age to every other public sector worker. But they are leaving members of the Local Government Pension Scheme out in the cold.

Dave Prentis

We therefore urge the local authority to be innovative and forge partnerships with the private sector for the purpose of joint ventures in the provision of housing to those in need of accommodation.

Cde Karimanzira

Consumers will continue to battle through the high energy prices as Christmas approaches, so look out for a large amount of activity in the retail sector as battle lines are drawn up.

Anthony Hill

We would characterize today's rally in the tech sector as an oversold bounce.

Clark Yingst

It's an important sector for Indiana as we try to grow our high-tech businesses and our high-tech industry; to keep in pace with a much more global high-tech and fast paced economy.

Weston Sedgwick

This is certainly a sector which is affected by news and we're waiting for more good news to come out before these stocks do turn around.

Brendan King

The good news related to the health-care sector is obviously helping.

Joseph Quinlan

Asian governments, central banks and the private sector will have to focus more on bond market development and really strengthen market infrastructure.

Masahiro Kawai

The financial sector is up in anticipation of tomorrow's interest rate cut in Toronto.

Pierre Lapointe

I've become more bullish on technology stocks. The technology sector is picking up and earnings will probably be better than market consensus.

Koji Nakatsuka

Particularly in the software sector, so much of what's going on with these stocks now has nothing to do with the fundamentals. It all has to do with this M&A activity that's going on and the uncertainty around it.

Brendan Barnicle

We won't cut unemployment by only employing people in the public sector.

Hartmut Möllring

For TREO to succeed, the private sector needs to play a significant supporting role.

Steve Lynn

The number of job losses in the retail and service sector as well as the hotel industry is very distressing and really does demonstrate the role that Sept. 11 played in increasing unemployment.

Heather Boushey

We're seeing a little bit more cautiousness. So much of the tech sector is dependent on the consumer and that's an area of potential weakness.

Lucy Macdonald

The global operating environment has been extremely positive, especially for companies in the technology sector. Earnings aren't disappointing.

Christopher Wong

To meet the challenge of pediatric therapeutics, unique formulations and improved delivery methods will be essential. We are forecasting rapid growth in this sector, with specialized pediatric delivery products representing more than one-third of all pediatric prescriptions by the end of the decade.

George Perros

We want to help our private sector counterparts at home and abroad implement coordinated and targeted anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing programs that are consistent with international standards.

Patrick O'brien

They have days like this. This sector is really volatile. They have their ugly days and the good days, so it doesn't pay to read too much into what's going on.

Lise Buyer

A balanced and stable multifamily market offers a range of options for people who want to rent an apartment home, and for those who want to buy. The reports of rising demand for rental apartments and increased apartment starts indicate that this sector of the housing market is moving toward better balance.

Leonard Wood

The pace will quicken now. The parliamentary process hasn't ended, but by any reckoning last night was decisive. After today, there will be a gear change in terms of how everybody sees this: government, the private sector, everybody.

Andy Burnham

The good news is there are folks who are seemingly interested in creating other opportunities, and we are hopeful they may come up with some good ideas … but that needs to be a private-sector type of initiative, not a government-sponsored initiative.

Chad Carlton

There's a lot of agreement about speaking with one voice in the energy sector.

Martin Bartenstein

We think the forum is being hijacked by the private sector and we're here to counteract that.

Steve Bloomfield

The mobile sector is bottoming out now.

Per Lindberg

If we take the electricity sector and telecommunications as guides, privatization has meant higher rates, lower quality, less access, and less sovereign control over our public services. CAFTA multiplies those effects, since it brings in the international heavy hitters and the rules they play by.

Alejandra Castillo

GM technology gives seed companies power over the entire agricultural sector.

Michel Pimbert

There is still some overvaluation in the tech sector.

John Carey

The export sector is getting better and is probably going to continue being strong in the first quarter.

Bertrand Delgado

For the individual investor, it's going to require a lot more scrutiny. Just because it's a brand new fund doesn't mean you have to buy it. Just because a sector is hot doesn't mean you have to invest in it.

Reuben Brewer

I'd be very wary [of this sub-sector], ... If you are looking for exposure to the Internet, look beyond the obvious ones that FTSE has picked out, because they don't necessarily offer the greatest upside.

George O'connor

Once you create a model for private players to want to enter the sector, you will get their interest. We are seeing movement in that direction.

Subir Gokarn

The tech sector continues to be a drag. Outside the manufacturing sector, the market still has a long way to go.

Larry Lawler

There is not enough competition in the sector. That is what we want to introduce. It is a no-frills approach -- but you don't need frills to have a good education.

Robert Whelan

The home sector is very exciting. They've got huge unmet demand for housing.

Mark Madden

When you have lots and lots of organizations with overlapping missions, it can just make a lot of sense and result in a more efficient use of dollars. It's just something that the nonprofit sector needs to be on the lookout for.

Paul Grogan

It creates a combined company with one million ounces of annual production, low operating costs and near-term growth that should be attractive to all investors in the gold sector.

Joseph Conway

Some people are worried, given the recent price action and the stellar out-performance of the 30-year sector, that they are missing something and are rushing to get involved now.

Martin Mitchell

Energy has been pretty darn strong even with the price of crude down. In fact, the only real negative sector is consumer discretionary, because of the horrendous consumer sentiment numbers.

Jon Brorson

The way India is just starting to get pumped up, and China is still looking extremely good, it's not out of the question that the resource sector stays as the place to be for a while yet.

Grant Williamson

The fact remains that Tesco is the darling of the sector and is best equipped to cope with any slowdown in consumer confidence or the side-effects of a higher oil price.

Richard Hunter

I-flex is a perfect partner to Oracle with its competence in core banking sector.

John Wookey

Right now, the farm sector in Minnesota seems to be extremely healthy and growing, Most producers are in better shape to handle a downturn now than they may have been in the past.

Dale Nordquist

We are delighted to have TPG as shareholders; they make the perfect partner to drive Punch forward, ... We look forward to working with them on the many major acquisition opportunities available in the pub sector.

John Punches

Finally, a company is taking action to remove excess capacity ... UPM takes the charge but the whole sector benefits.

Teemu Salonen

The project should support and broaden the current retail function, be conducive to reinstating the office and residential function of the area, and is expected to be a catalyst for increased private sector investment in the area.

Pierre Voges

This survey remains consistent with a booming manufacturing sector.

Richard Iley

In the mining sector, we do see consolidation going ahead. Some of the zinc producers, given the supply and dynamics may look attractive.

Atul Lele

And he was worried about its impact on the energy sector.

Brandon Evans

This spectrum represents America's best opportunity to foster state-of-the-art public safety communications. If this spectrum is auctioned to the private sector, the nation forever loses its best shot at fixing this issue once and for all.

Morgan O'brien

This report is a sign that the manufacturing sector is on solid ground after a weak performance in 1998 and the early part of 1999.

Michael Moran

(The takeover) helps us to anticipate future restructuring in the retail sector. For example, we cannot imagine that rival Aeon will not do anything after this.

Hitoshi Yamamoto

We have assigned the Iraqi battalion to our least-engaged sector until they can get their feet on deck, absorb the weapons and equipment that we are passing their way and prepare for the next phase of the operation.

Jim Conway

If this trend continues over the next few years it will be very difficult for the sector, ... It could mean serious cutbacks in capital investment and in staff numbers.

Drummond Bone

The Russian government not only acted corruptly, not only built up a new oligarchy of billionaires out of nothing, basically, but also gave away its most valuable financial assets-its ownership of the huge natural resource sector in Russia.

Jeffrey Sachs

We as a nation--government working with the private sector--must do more to accelerate this technology and make it accessible to American drivers.

Sue Cischke

It's a sector that runs alongside the public program but it's important to have that there to create a competitive restraint for the public program. And to give patients the opportunity to seek care on their own terms with their own hard earned resources when the public program's either unwilling or unable to meet their needs.

Nadeem Esmail

It's a bad day for the entire sector. There's a realignment of earnings expectations across the sector. Some expectations were too high.

John Novak

Catalysts is a sector the Germans have missed. This is something they should have gotten into 10 or 15 years ago. They're playing catch-up.

Andreas Gartner

We lost a lot of high tech jobs recently. They've been replaced with service sector (lower pay) jobs.

Dan Stevens

Apparel is the biggest part of the sector that is increasing now.

Rodney Salinas

I think they can keep it going because they offer the consumer exceptional values. And in an economy where the consumer may be a bit more cautious and therefore a bit more price sensitive, I think those values become even more important. So, yes, I'm optimistic about the sector.

Sally Wallick

The conventional view on Wall Street is that the Medicare formularies mimic commercial formularies, and that's incorrect. These formularies are more stringent than what you see in the private sector.

Dan Mendelson

The manufacturing sector is benefiting from strong global growth and investment. That's particularly true in Germany, which tends to specialize in high quality capital goods.

Dominic White

This sector saw about a 4 percent growth last year. I expect it to do about the same, between 3 to 4 percent this year.

Frank Badillo

The DVD sector isn't going away, shrinking, or about to collapse.

Scott Hettrick

We restricted ourselves by geography, so we chose not to restrict ourselves by industry sector.

Jeremy Wolfe

Manufacturing is not the only supply sector battling a strong currency. Mining is being crippled by a similar problem.

Colen Garrow

Harper looked on with some satisfaction. Conservative economist that he is, he welcomes the opportunity for international aid most when the nongovernmental sector is involved.

Lloyd Mackey

Hong Kong players' unprecedented enthusiasm in the mainland's insurance sector is mainly due to the saturation of Hong Kong's life insurance market.

Wang Guojun

The reason [retail] is going to become an extremely successful sector is that retailers, more than industrial or offices, make an extremely high investment in their location. Who is more interested in [where they are located] than a person spending tens of thousands of dollars to advertise their presence at that location.

Jim Hopkins

The additional choices for consumers should eventually raise the entire hybrid sector.

Michael Chung

I get to watch traffic flows in every sector of every economy in the world on a real time basis.

Gene Huang

Intel will set the tone for the semiconductor sector, but also for the tech sector and the overall market, as well.

Jay Wong

The strength of profits certainly suggest the business sector is currently running at a decent clip.

Steve Ryan

The bank sector is a bit weaker here, with NAB and CBA coming of their highs, and of course Westpac are ex-dividend, so that has obviously had an effect on the index.

Jamie Spiteri

I would like to think that there remains a reservoir -- call it patriotism, if you will, or call it civic duty -- within the private sector that does not require companies to be leaned on in order to cooperate.

Frank Gaffney

Nationally the uppermost sector of the residential property market has held up relatively well with the 26% fall in sales of £1m properties comparing with a 36% decline in total house sales between the first halves of 2004 and 2005.

Martin Ellis

When it comes to the retiree healthcare crisis, public sector employers are facing many of the same challenges that private companies are encountering with the added complexity of the new GASB 45 requirements. SHPS realized that its CDRHP product, which has been well-received by many large, private employers, was a very good solution for public sector employers as well.

Rishabh Mehrotra

The industrial sector will do well. We will have good surprises.

Jerome Forneris

In theory, in the private sector, with the L-code system, I know the end dollar amount that I can be reimbursed for a patient, so the less I see that patient in terms of clinical hours, the more profit is generated. That's not good in a rehab world.

Joseph Miller

There are early signs that the long-awaited corporate PC-replacement cycle may indeed about to begin, but it is too early to say that significantly increased semiconductor sales to this sector are guaranteed.

Richard Gordon

While net exports corroborate the bank's view that the external sector poses a downside risk, the fact that the record deficit was driven by stronger domestic demand, means that they don't feel the need to respond with lower rates for now.

Richard Mcguire

The small business sector is clearly slowing, but there are no signs of 'disorder' in the exiting, ... This is good news for the Fed, which expressed its pleasure by hinting at rate cuts if things slowed too quickly.

William Dunkelberg

I cannot understand why companies in the public sector go for the managed option.

Andrew Barker

The Montgomery County United Way is about connecting people in need with the resources available to us. One of the things I have found in this community is that the nonprofit sector here really works hard to collaborate and work well together.

Julie Martineau

Risks are high in the LCD sector so we are very cautious now.

Barro Liao

We just go by the book and conduct thorough inspections, and it is our duty to maintain that regulatory framework. It is up to private-sector companies what decisions they make.

Heizo Takenaka

I'd like to go back into another sector other than hospitality.

Hector Garcia

What the market is telling the Tiger economies is that they have too much capital in their tradeable sector relative to their competitiveness.

Andy Xie

Now we're starting to enter into a new phase, which may be characterized as private-sector or space tourism.

Roger Launius

If you look at it from a security of supply perspective, the US will not accept anything which undermines its coal in the power generation sector.

Christian Egenhofer

Instead of generating cash, they're burning cash. We are not jumping into Internet stocks at these valuations. I think the Internet sector is going to continue to sink.

Paul Wick
