Usually you have some perspective on things. But what seemed acceptable at the time, what seemed like the norm, now you're judging people by standards that didn't exist at the time.

We believe the downside is limited, but the stock is likely stuck in broad $6 to $12 trading range.

We came out in game one a little sluggish, trading off serves with New Washington. We missed too many serves tonight. I think it might be the most serves missed this season. In game two, things were much the same ... (and) game three we pretty much fell flat. There was no communication whatsoever on the court. Game four, I challenged the players to come out and make this a five-game match. I told the girls that we needed to move, communicate, and make smart plays. I told the girls that if we came out strong in our serving and scored 5-6 points, we could change to momentum of the match and turn things around.

We came out, and we didn't play that terribly, but we couldn't get any defensive stops. We just kept trading baskets with them.

The present era has no comparable referent in the past history of capitalism. We have a higher percentage of the intelligentsia engaged in buying and selling pieces of paper and promoting trading activity than in any past era.

Wal-Mart's EPS growth is twice that of the S&P. For the third consecutive year it has seen an increase in operating margins and we believe it still has tremendous growth opportunity over the next 5 to 10 years both domestically and abroad.
