Yields Quotations

There are several things that can create an alpha - stock buybacks are one. High dividend yields are another, especially nowadays because the stock market yields more than the banks and the tenure treasury. But by and large, it tends to be companies with a strong cash flow, rising sales, accelerated earnings, a profit margin expansion.

Technology has allowed us to have more drought-resistant crops. The spotty nature of drought, the spotty nature of rains can sometimes result in better yields than anticipated.

On the morning of January 17, 1966, a real-life dirty bomb crisis occurred over Palomares, Spain. A Strategic Air Command bomber flying with four armed hydrogen Bombs - with yields between 70 kilotons and 1.45 megatons - collided midair with a refueling tanker over the Spanish countryside.

The rules and principles of case law have never been treated as final truths but as working hypotheses, continually retested in those great laboratories of the law, the courts of justice. Every new case is an experiment, and if the accepted rule which seems applicable yields a result which is felt to be unjust, the rule is reconsidered.

Not only does the summer bring warm weather and tons of summer activities, but it also yields a fresh crop of increasingly useful avocados!

Progress is what happens when impossibility yields to necessity.

The days of the Pentagon Papers debates seem long past, when a sudden transparency yielded insight into fights over war and peace and freedom and security; the transparency afforded by Twitter and Facebook yields insights that extend no further than a lawmaker's boundless narcissism and a culture's pitiless prurience.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.

Every fish fertilizes the water in a way that generates the plankton that ultimately leads back into the food chain, but also yields oxygen, grabs carbon - it's a part of what makes the ocean function and what makes the planet function.

Rising interest rates are considered bad for stocks because they raise the cost of doing business and depress corporate earnings and because higher yields make bonds relatively more attractive than stocks to investors.

Credit unions are often a better deal than banks and tend to pay higher yields on deposits.

The powerful emotional connection between Roosevelt and Churchill and how they confronted tyranny and terror is an incredibly contemporary story that yields important lessons for leaders today on a personal, political, and diplomatic level.

We spent the week worrying about yields and what the economic data would do. We managed to work our way through it. We finished off the week the best we could. Next week we have a host of economic data that may or may not change our mind. We'll see how it plays out.

U.S. treasury yields are rising and we've seen that support the dollar across the board. The dollar remains strong on the back of solid U.S. economic data and expectations that the 10-year yield is going to continue to go higher.

We regard the shares as inexpensive and believe that just placing a market multiple on its free-cash-flow a few years out yields substantial upside in the stock.

We're seeing interest in cash for the first time since 2001, practically, and we expect the interest to only grow as rates continue to rise. Yields are still digesting the Aug. 9 Fed hike and be- ginning to anticipate an almost certain Sept. 20 rise, so we should see yields break through 3 percent and keep going.

There is a solid demand for long-term bonds with a 20- to 30-year maturity. Twenty-year yields around 2.2 percent are attractive.

We're anxious fence-sitters. Yields are back to where we like them -- and we'll like them more if we see more buyers and improved price action.

We have reallocated out of bonds. We got a little bit nervous back in December. However, now that bond yields have gotten back to where they are and stock price are where they are, I think you're going to take a real look at bonds and maybe take some money off the table.

The problem with rising short-term bond yields is that they boost the cost of acquiring and servicing credit, and thus they stifle domestic demand.

There are a lot of crosscurrents now, but falling yields might indicate that demand for credit is slowing down and that the Fed, by holding the fed funds rate where it is, is actually keeping rates all along the curve from falling to their equilibrium level, or to the level where would they would more naturally go.

There is clearly an expectation of higher bond yields going forward. Negative sentiment towards Canadian fixed income did not shift significantly since the last survey, but then again, it would have been difficult to be more negative.

Maharishi said that when 1 percent of the population meditates, the earth yields up its treasures,

Many investors did not expect that yields would decline from the start of the year. They rather not to have a 1.4 percent coupon the new debt.

So far, the prices are still pretty decent. Our bean yields are down 30 percent, but our corn just seems to be up to average this year.

Most sentiment indicators have been upbeat, but we'll have to see some growth data to back this up otherwise confidence will start to suffer again. We will probably see yields start falling after the middle of the year.

Muto's comment reversed sentiment among investors and it is a reason to sell bonds. They're now thinking the economy is still recovering and yields won't keep on falling.

My gut tells me that spreads and yields are still too high to see a flood of deals. But if the market continues to improve, we will be at a point where a pickup in deals would be feasible.

Now that yields are moving up, all these reasons have been shoved aside, and order in the universe has been restored.

People were concerned that the market will start pricing in the argument that the central bank will raise interest rates to a neutral level since deflation in Japan has ended. Yields will have a bias to rise.

One of the reasons foreign capital keeps coming to the U.S. is that yields are higher than what you're getting globally.

I was surprised to see speculation of a policy change grow stronger. Bonds tumbled as stocks rallied on the solid economy. Yields are to rise in the next several months.

I wouldn't hurry to buy bonds, as yields will probably keep rising as we wait. The advance in stocks is hurting demand for bonds.

If we hadn't had a recession a year ago, and we were watching the fall in employment, a stalling manufacturing sector, falling bond yields and falling stock prices, many people would think we were entering a recession. There's an assumption that the recovery will continue and get stronger next year, when in fact it's possible the economy's tipping over again.

If we continue to see sharp hikes in yields, then stocks will face tougher competition from bonds. But if bond yields can stabilize here, or just move up modestly, stocks can tough it out.

I am too scared to buy bonds. I haven't seen any investor purchase debt recently as it's hard to know when yields will stop rising amid speculation the central bank will raise its key overnight rate.

Based on the current level of bond yields and earnings fair value around 5 600 points, the dividend yield remains attractive compared to alternative investments.

Because of their high yields and stable cash flows, utilities are defensive stocks. But with deregulation, part of the business -- the power generation piece -- is exposed to supply and demand concerns where it wasn't before.

If bond yields keep rising which I think they will, then not even stocks are safe from a welcome decline in energy prices. In this case lower energy prices could prove to be a Trojan horse unleashing a problematic rise in market rates.

I can try cutting back some trips over the field for fuel prices, but it's not like I'm out there doing recreational tillage now. You only go over it when you have to. You can cut back on fertilizer but it's not like we're over fertilizing to start with. You start cutting back too much and you're hurting yields and that hurts your bottom line. There's no way around it.

Given the drop in bond yields, stocks which were comparatively cheap before, have become even more attractive to buy. This drop in bond yields may finally be the catalyst we need to propel stocks out of the trading range they have been mired in.

Given that the market is having difficulty rallying, we believe the risk is to higher yields upon a stronger-than-expected non-farm payrolls report. The unemployment rate will also be important. If it drops to 4.6 percent, then that would be very bearish.

Fukui's comments were just very hawkish overall. There's certainly room for short-term yields to rise and the yield curve to flatten more as the market factors all this in.

From the economic viewpoint, Treasury yields are too low. We are expecting robust growth in the first quarter and that will lead to a correction in the bond market.

I expect yields to continue drifting higher. Anything that shows the jobs market is strong gives more ammunition to the Fed to keep raising rates.

Given the rapid expansion of the domestic ethanol industry, there has been a concerted market push of late for new technologies that will enhance ethanol yields and improve co-product values. Our process does both, and also will greatly reduce the need for natural gas to dry the non-fermentable material.

Given the prospect that the Japanese economy will remain on a path of expansion, we believe that Japanese investors will continue to take advantage of higher yields abroad, particularly in the United States.

He who yields to his times acts wisely

Hence, low bond yields are ambiguous for policy. It's a classic on the one hand, on the other hand speech.

Today, existing home sales are strong and that appears to be weighing on the market a bit because Treasury yields are higher.

Keeping rates near zero percent is creating concern among people in the market that inflation may speed up years from now. That's causing yields on long-term debt to jump.

I think the Fed is hanging its hopes on a couple of things. The bond price has dropped and yields have gone up and it is doing the job for them. . . the economy as a whole is slightly slower in the second quarter than it was in the first. There's hope that it will tail off to a more sustainable rate.

It is possible that this year will mark the end of the deflation and will bring in a paradigm shift to the bond market next year. Ten-year yields may rise to 2 percent by the end of March next year.

I think bonds look attractive enough to buy as yields are appealing. The decline in stocks is creating a comfortable situation for people to buy debt.

It is hard to buy bonds when the central bank is getting more evidence to support their case for raising interest rates. Bond yields will rise to correspond with an end of deflation.

It is intuitive that higher corn yields will result in greater nitrogen demand from the soil, but does that translate into higher nitrogen demand? Investigation of nitrogen rate studies conducted over several years reveals that there is not a strong relationship between maximum yield potential and the amount of nitrogen needed to achieve maximum yield.

Japan's growth prospects look more promising and we are on the threshold of an end to deflation. Yields are set to increase.

Japanese investors are still looking for higher yields overseas. That's weighing on the yen.

Recent rises in yields of Japanese government bonds, combined with this emerging uncertainty over prospects for US interest rates, are expected to weigh on the US currency against the yen in the near term.

Recently, when yields move down, the market has moved up. Investors are looking to the fact generally that economic growth worldwide is robust right now, so you're seeing a lot of these multinationals that participate in that doing quite well.

Payrolls is one of the main indicators of how strong the economy will be and a strong number means that there will be more rate hikes from the Fed. Yields are heading up across the curve.
