We believe there could be greater impetus for potential mergers among the second-tier players in 2006.
The quarterly results beat the expectations of most market watchers.
The PC sector is weak in the first quarter but I am still optimistic for the whole year. That's because the trend for the TV sector is positive so profit margins should go up from the second and third quarters.
Without the proximity of the schools, it's hard for rivalries. When we play a key game at Cherry Creek, we don't travel well, and when they play up here, they don't travel well. If we were playing someone like Monarch, my guess is it would be packed.
TVs still have higher margins and you wouldn't have a doubt on the market's growth when you see so many different sizes of TVs on the shelves.
The way it's structured, there isn't a league in our area that would work. If there was a league in our area, that would be something we would look very hard at.
Pricing pressure still exists, so its bottom line will get worse in the second quarter.
It looks like corporate profits in the second quarter won't be good across the board if you compare with the first quarter, and that's because prices are still falling.
The biggest impact from the new plants will be in the first part of this year, but there will be some impact throughout the year.
This is our life after retirement. It's nice to be kept clean and neat, free of whatever. So we're more safe here.
