People said the secondary was a weakness here last year. But now it's not. I'm really excited about the guys coming in here. What we need now is communication, and that will come from being here, talking and joking around with one another.

Will Demps

The Fed has identified consumer confidence as the most important concept right now. They are extremely worried that the problems in the stock market and the weakness in the manufacturing sector will lead to pessimism and lower spending.

Russell Sheldon

IBM's numbers looked very good. Intel's the ugly one because the worry is many investors are expecting higher corporate spending to offset potential weakness in consumer spending.

Steve Neimeth

The weakness in the market is likely to continue next month before it builds up momentum for an upside.

Jackson Wong

We are now expecting profits to be significantly below our original plans for the year, almost entirely because of the weakness in advertising markets.

Marjorie Scardino

Unfilled orders earlier in the year contributed to weaker sales results for the balance of the year for Russell Athletic. Additionally, sales weakness in Mossy Oak continued throughout the year, with declines of approximately 20% from 2004.

Jack Ward

There are areas of weakness. It seems growth is difficult for banks, which I would attribute to a flat yield curve and higher funding costs.

Mark Batty

For the first part of next week, we may see some additional weakness.

Don Hays

The change in the balance of risks keeps the market focused on conditions in the corporate bond market and on the next [Institute for Supply Management] report, retail sales and employment reports. We think if there's any severe weakness in any of those reports, the Fed will lower interest rates at the Sept. 24 meeting.

Gemma Wright

Go after a man's weakness, and never, ever, threaten unless you're going to follow through, because if you don't, the next time you won't be taken seriously.

Roy M. Cohn

The Fed, for the time being, is likely to continue to focus on the weakness of the economy, rather than on prices.

Jade Zelnik

Investors in early trade locked in profits, taking note of the weakness in some regional markets.

Frank Lin

You look at them and you don't see any weakness.

Brad Salem

Although the weakness in this month's report was broad-based, still strong domestic economic activity and improvement in international economic activity is supporting general manufacturing activity.

Stephen Wood

Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.

Ronald Blythe

Given the license revenue performance and our view that the company is moving in the right direction, we would be buying shares on weakness today.

David Rudow

We expect some weakness today on the back of these slightly disappointing numbers and dividend, and quite rightly the concern regarding second-half dry-cleaning trading.

Robert Morton

A late Easter this year, following an early one last year, contributed to weakness in chain store sales in March, and should ensure strength in April.

Haseeb Ahmed

Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

He doesn't have a real weakness playing for us. He defends well and picks his spots, getting involved up the ice. He just needs more experience against bigger, stronger and faster players, but I think he deserves serious consideration as an NHL player.

John Stevens

Minister Miyazawa told me that Japan's foreign exchange policy was unchanged, and that excessive weakness of the yen was undesirable for the Japanese economy as well as for the Asian and world economy.

Haruhiko Kuroda

There's a risk of weakness in the Australian dollar in the next couple of days, ... Any decline in commodity prices is bearish for the Australian dollar.

John Horner

The weakness in the currency is probably the story of the day and the currency sensitive stocks are doing very well.

Matt Willis

There's been a cultural change, a perspective that merging with another company or being acquired by an outside company is no longer a sign of weakness, or of business failing somewhere along the line. It's more of a realization that it's part of growth in the modern world.

Mark Porter

In the FOMC statement, the Fed may have little choice but to acknowledge Q4 weakness, but will probably maintain that the first half (of 2006) should be better.

Brian Morris

The market really wants to carry on going up and there is a lot of optimism about this results season. We're not as confident as a lot of others because we think the economic fundamentals are still showing signs of weakness.

Susan O'brien

A lot of people give Edison's top three players a lot of credit. But they are a lot deeper than that. It's tough to find a [weakness] ? they're fast and quick.

Stan King

That's my biggest weakness. I don't like going down. That's an example of me fighting for yards. I have to know when to go down.

Tyrell Sutton

I thought our defense would be able to stop the run better than we did last year (a 60-34 loss). That was our weakness last year, and it didn't happen. I was surprised they were able to run the football like they did.

Don Beebe

Revenues dropped sharply in the current quarter as a result of continued weakness in carrier spending. However, even amidst this downturn we have continued to secure design wins, particularly for our upper-layer products. We believe that new products and new design wins are the most important actions we can take to begin the recovery process.

Ceo Lou Tomasetta

There is a very strong chance we'll see a rate hike in Slovakia. On top of that, the central bank will be very reluctant to see any currency weakness as it wants to curb inflation.

Jon Harrison

Rental revenues have continued to decline over the last several months, and the market weakness we are currently experiencing has been more severe and longer lasting than anticipated.

Joe Malugen

We continue to believe that Dell does not have adequate earnings power in notebooks, server and non-system revenue to offset the secular weakness in consumer and commercial desktops.

Ashok Kumar

As she matured, she identified her weakness. She really worked hard on her endurance in the summer and fall. As many athletes mature, they think, 'How can I improve?' (Endurance) was the area that she wanted to put the most effort in.

Steve Vanderschie

On Friday, we had a ratio of 12 to 1 of losers to winners. That's the worst performance since 1997. We also had over 3,000 declining issues. This shows real weakness.

Larry Wachtel

I just have to play within myself. People think (my throwing) is a weakness, but I think I can deliver the ball pretty well.

Curtis Pulley

I know coach Moore doesn't like to go to the zone. But our weakness is shooting and the zone was effective in exposing our weakness.

Ed Torres

We've been seeing weakness in the RV market for the better part of this year, so we're not surprised to see a down earnings quarter. What we tend to see in the RV market during periods of weakness is relative strength at the value end of the market.

Edward Aaron

Some jobs in manufacturing might well disappear as a result of weakness in housing, but this may be offset by jobs brought home or not lost to foreign competition.

Edward Leamer

There's not a notable weakness there. Obviously he's a great talent. He's tremendous.

Ellery Hanley

She has played in so many tournaments that she has been under fire. She is so good at taking advantage of an opponent's weakness. She will hit the ball several times because she wants to finish the point, not rush through it.

Fred Perry

The soul's dark cottage, battered and decayed,Lets in new light through chinks that time has made.Stronger by weakness, wiser men become,As they draw near to their eternal home.

Edmund Waller

We are not seeing the big slowdown but we are seeing some weakness around the edges showing the medicine is starting to take effect, ... And I don't think it's just psychological.

Edward Jones

You could argue that he downplayed the weakness in the recent data. But the forward-looking indicators suggest that this was just a bump in the road.

Elga Bartsch

The timing of this reset relative to current stock prices is not a prediction of further weakness.

Eric Ross

Some see the widespread weakness outside transportation as discouraging. But orders are still running far above average given the last few months of increases.

Zoltan Pozsar

Stronger by weakness, wiser men become.

Edmund Waller

This is a sign of absolute weakness by the prime minister of Israel ... if he will technically agree to it, the people of Israel will never approve it.

Ehud Olmert

We think stock weakness is overdone and would be buyers at current levels.

Edward Maguire

Transportation firms reported continuing economic weakness. While 2006 is likely to be a positive year for the Oklahoma economy due to an improving telecommunications sector and expansions in business service firms, the closing of GM operations in Oklahoma City will produce some fairly negative economic consequences.

Ernie Goss

If you can find a weakness in his game, I don't know where it is.

Ed Generali

A moderate stroke causing significant weakness in his motor and language skills.

Edward Davis

We actually think that we're being somewhat optimistic in saying we don't see it spreading beyond that. There will be weakness in retail, for sure, and in manufacturing. But not widespread losses.

Edward Leamer

While the timing of this executive departure is not particularly good for Wal-Mart in light of the Coughlin situation, which exposed weakness inside the upper ranks of Wal-Mart management, the loss of Kevin Turner is not going to alter the course of the company.

Emme Kozloff

This is a persistent and glaring weakness.

Evan Medeiros
