Boris Boehm Quotations

Mr. Ackermann is Mr. Deutsche Bank these days. He holds in his hands the vision and strategy for the bank.

The overall performance of the market in the last couple of days has been impressive. Investors are locking in profits.

The only thing to push the market higher would be a correction in the oil price.

The results are disappointing and should further fuel the concerns which began yesterday.

I see no reason why we should see a break in this rise in the market. Valuations leave room for further price rises.

Companies are restructuring to make themselves fit for the future. Investors are looking for companies that are engaged in that process. It's a positive.

The weak dollar hits our economy at the worst possible moment. We had just seen the first signs of a small recovery. It hits our export-related companies.

It's easier to attract customers if you can offer TV, Internet, fixed-line and wireless services in one single package. Many customers want to use all these services, and it's convenient if you have to sign only one contract.

It's the strength of exports that drove earnings in the fourth quarter. We saw extraordinary demand from regions such as the Far East, Eastern Europe and Russia.

The next six months are definitely going to be tougher for capital markets. Since capital markets are one of the best indicators for Deutsche Bank's performance, some investors may think it can't get any better.

German companies see the potential dangers if they don't act. They're acting first, to avoid becoming prey for foreign investors. They have confidence they can manage these deals.
