Access Quotes
Despite those amazing returns, by and large all those funds really did was lose money for a lot of people. One of the main points of owning a mutual fund is to be able to access high-quality professional management. But you are throwing that away when you buy funds like these with some manager who just happened to get lucky.

Analytical Quotes
At least one major materials and manufacturing company in the United States we spoke to has already begun outsourcing analytical services to a research center in India. When we spoke to users about the expense of owning and maintaining inspection tools, the biggest expense is the fact you need to hire and pay a highly trained scientist to successfully operate it, and there's big opportunity there for outsourcing.

Bit Quotes
It's a well-proven cookie-cutter formula. It works. The entry level is a bit lower than it is for something like McDonald's. There are very clear directions on how to operate a Subway franchise. At the same time, the people owning the stores tend to be very entrepreneurial in their focus.

Becoming Quotes
For me, it's about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That's what's big to me. The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I'm in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.

Asia Quotes
For an increasing number of people in new growth markets like China, the mobile phone has quickly become an integral part of life - and the number of new mobile phone owners keeps growing. In 2008, Nokia expects that 3 billion people will be owning a mobile phone, with much of this growth coming from markets like China, India, South-East Asia and Africa, where penetration levels are still relatively low.

Along Quotes
It's sad, what's happening along the River Walk. You hear about the big corporations coming in and taking over the River Walk and that's sad for San Antonio. The character of the river is that it's local. It's local people owning and operating local businesses. That's changing. That's not the way it is anymore. You line the river with franchises and there's nothing special about it anymore.

Advantage Quotes
If you're just taking advantage of cheap machines, and they don't fit well into your environment, then whatever you saved in that capital cost is going to eaten up overnight with the differences you have to do in administration and support -- which is the real hidden cost of owning some of this equipment.

Good Quotes
Institutions and the smart money out there has been owning a lot of these higher P/E stocks, to participate in the good earnings, and they've been getting the good earnings. But the problem is that the stocks haven't been running up into those earnings. So they're not getting paid for that higher P/E risk.

Access Quotes
I have to say that Grieg's relationship to Kees' property is problematic. Michael Grieg told me that Kees' parents said he could keep all the paintings, and things like that. I have no way of verifying that claim. Grieg did end up owning all the paintings, pictures, which he then began selling, ... It took me years to convince him to let me see what he had. I think I was probably the first person to be given access to it.

Argue Quotes
In my view, shares of Ford would probably become more attractive if it got down to say $22, $23 a share. Although, I would argue that as long as these investigations are continuing, they'll probably serve to put a lid on the stock price performance. Other stocks in the auto sector we are more positive on include General Motors ( GM : Research , Estimates ). Also at GM, you've got a change in management -- you've got a significant outside shareholder developing in Carl Icahn, owning 30 percent in GM. There's just a lot of value to be realized in the group.

Almost Quotes
If the metal itself were to double from here, because there's really no supplies in gold stocks, the gold stocks could actually make the technology or Internet stocks of yesterday look like they were standing still So, I think the real issue was the opportunity costs of owning gold in the past, ... That has come away or it's been almost eliminated because the interest rates are so low. So I think every portfolio should have some exposure, not to go crazy, maybe five or six percent, but I think it has a play and I think it still has a lot of legs left.

Can't you see you go public and all these people owning you want is dividends and running their stock up, you don't give them that and they sell you out, you do and some bunch of vice presidents some place you never heard of like the ones that turned this out, this wood product they call it, they spot you and launch an offer and all of a sudden you're working for them trimming and cutting and finally bringing in people to turn something out they don't care what the hell it is, there's no pride in their work because what you've got them turning out nobody could be proud of in the first place.

Buy Quotes
For our parent's generation the goal was to buy a home, pay it off and retire, owning your home free and clear. Now, most people's goal is to buy a home that you can afford, live in it for a while until it appreciates, then buy something more expensive, live in it for a while and wait for it to appreciate, and so on. Then finally sell and buy something smaller free and clear for retirement. People look at their homes as a tool, a vehicle, an investment.

Animals Quotes
They do not sweat and whine about their condition, they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, they do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago.
