Believe Quotes
Certain companies have publicized my Hart Scott filings in the hope that this might induce investors into running the price up, which might cause me to sell my shares, make a profit and become uninvolved in the company, ... While I am flattered that investors would buy on the news that I have made a Hart Scott filing, I believe that they are taking risks which are not being explained to them by the companies making the disclosure.

Almost Quotes
He was the last great sportsman. We measure owners differently now, in championships and profit and headlines and even face time. Others have won more than the Giants. Certainly other owners have made more money. There was never a better owner than this because there was never a better man even in bad times. He honored his team and his league. And there was never anyone who loved a team like this, or ever spent more time around one, from that first Sunday at the Polo Grounds after Mass with his father Tim and brother Jack at Our Lady of Esperanza on Riverside Drive. It is almost impossible to get your mind around this kind of career, in any kind of business. Eighty years a Giant.

Almost Quotes
We're projecting technology earnings are going to grow almost 40 percent this quarter and that's on top of a very, very strong 1999. Energy company earnings obviously will grow close to 80 percent, but that's on top of a weak '99. So there are companies that should have leadership. After all, if you look at the companies that issue profit warnings last week; Maytag, McDonald's, I mean I don't think the future of growth of American economy is washing machines or cheeseburgers.

Crime And Criminals Quotes
Guns don't fall from the sky into the hands of criminals. The crime gun market is fed by a small, identifiable group of reckless gun dealers. Yes, we must severely punish criminals who use guns. But we must also stop the flood of illegal guns at its source -- the gun dealers who put profit ahead of public safety.

Above Quotes
I suspect it was just a bout of profit taking, a bit of nervousness ahead of next week's Fed meeting. Not that anyone's expecting anything out of the Fed's next week, but I think there still are some lingering concerns about the longer-term interest rate outlook. Especially with oil prices pushing above $32 a barrel,

Coming Quotes
I think investors have to play technology if they're going with the Fed. You have to look at the technology stocks. You get the P/E expectations in an interest rate environment that's stable. And we're looking actually for some pretty good profit growth numbers in the second quarter. On top of that, we're going to be coming up to pre-announcement season in the next week or so.

Benign Quotes
I think the main thing that's going right for the market is that we still have a very healthy economy, with rising earnings and benign inflation. On a technical side, I think the correction ended three weeks ago. The market has been slowly recovering its sea legs. We had five days up in a row on the Nasdaq composite, and that is the reason why the profit taking yesterday. But the big picture still remains very positive,

Bottom Quotes
I think the private sector for the most part, the vast majority of employers in America, they wake up in the morning, and they have a bottom line. This is how much they make, this is how much their expenses are; they certainly need to break even just to stay in business, and they need to make a profit in order to survive long-term.

Clear Quotes
I think the only clear sign that would really tell you that inflation should be rising at this point is, of course, the rise in hourly earnings, ... But at this stage, from what we've seen, corporations seem to be taking it in terms of lower profit margins and, therefore, not necessarily pushing up prices.

Answer Quotes
Lacking a profit motive, workers in the government by and large have a different work ethic from those in private industry. When they could make one call, federal workers take a meeting. When they could find an answer on the Internet, they form a study committee. Instead of appointing one supervisor, they appoint five.

Corporate Quotes
I think we know corporate profit growth can't stay at the rate we've seen in recent quarters. They (employers) have been squeezing the work force pretty aggressively, squeezing productivity out of workers and holding the line on wages. It's a matter of how much corporate profits slow down.

Achieving Quotes
it is largely because civilization enables us constantly to profit from knowledge which we individually do not possess and because each individual's use of his particular knowledge may serve to assist others unknown to him in achieving their ends that men as members of civilized society can pursue their individual ends so much more successfully than they could alone.

Basis Quotes
Our goals are to improve restaurant margins 500 total basis points and to generate at least $100 million to $125 million pre-tax profit improvement by the end of 2008. We are confident about our future and we are eager to begin writing the next great chapter of Wendy's long-term success story.

Anyone Quotes
RIM makes a healthy monthly profit per subscriber, and anyone who thinks they can provide 80% of the solution and capture some portion of the market that RIM is going after will give it a try. But I don't think there's anything more ominous here than what's already available from Good or Microsoft.
