October Quotations

October was the seventh month in a row of higher Ford sales to individual retail customers. This October, over 50 percent of our retail car sales were 1999 models. That is much higher than last October's mix of new models, which was 34 percent.

October was our peak month, but we're in the downhill stretch now.

October was even better than I expected. Cars are cheaper, GM is back from the strike, and despite what's happening in the stock market, consumer confidence levels are high.

October job loss could easily be worse. The unemployment rate is headed for 6 percent, in our view.

October is what I need to improve upon. But you can't think about October on Opening Day, you have to think about the present war.

October is not all that bad, but there have been some eye-catching examples that have fed the folklore that October can be a bad month.

October is a bad month anyway. Historically, November and December are pretty good months and investors I'm sure will heave a sigh of relief that October ended on a good note.

October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band.

Now we just need to carry it back to the road starting tonight in Boston and do what we can to spoil people's October plans.

Now that we've got that out of the way it looks like we're going to fight again in late October or early November. I'll be getting the exact date, hopefully by the end of this week. I'm planning on fighting twice more before the year is up. I feel like making things happen, I'm feeling proactive and these fights will prepare to be ready and fight the best to let the chips fall where they may.
