Dan Burke Quotations

We headed north on the Grand Parkway to get to 90A, and it was moving.

I think it's one of those years where the competition among county schools is showing itself on the field. It's balanced out.

I remember watching the game later on TV. The camera was on Mike. He was just pacing back and forth. If you can just picture a bull in the old cartoons, with the smoke coming out of his nose. That was the image you got from him -- a bull with smoke coming out of his nose, scratching the dirt.

Looking in the mirror is the most important thing. Am I looking to plan for retirement, or am I looking for a quick buck?

I think if somebody doesn't, they're missing the boat. I'm not an expert, but I've been around long enough to know that. Mike's the kind of guy, you've got to see him on film and you've got to watch him play. It's as simple as that.

The amount of advice, and portfolio monitoring and portfolio structuring is going to be a very hot topic over the next six months, ... and it's going to be very difficult to compete with a beat-up car when the guy next door has a nice shiny one.

We're not seeing the kind of transaction rates we used to. It's just hard for people to get excited about trading when Cisco is trading at $13.

When the weather was over 90 (degrees) for several days in a row, the bridge deck expands to the point that it can't operate. It's been stuck in the near-closed position. We've been called to cool it down. I won't miss that.

When people think of rural Door County, this is the image they have.

Why build a bridge you don't need? That area is built out (extensively developed). We will never need another lane.

I understand the need to replace the bridge; we just wanted to make sure it was done in the best way to meet their needs and diminish the impact on us.

Ron played well. He played within the team framework and played hard. He made good decisions and tried to play the right way.

There's a convergence going on in Internet online financial service offerings -- adding cash management functionality to their clients. They can't live on trades alone.

It's not like they were the most aggressive out there on price anyway.

Consumers are saying .... if Merrill is doing this, it bodes extremely well for future of online trading.

I'm trying to give this building away, and I'm having a hard time giving it away.

But I don't think it's much of an issue.

The jury is still out on that one.

The first word that comes to mind is leader, and that's the kind of stuff you don't see in all these combine tests. You've got to actually have him on your team to recognize that. But I think these guys are smart enough to interview people. I can't imagine there being a better leader in the draft.

The market's not always going to go up, up, up, ... It is important to diversify the revenue stream.
