The market is a discounting mechanism and typically looks six-to-nine months ahead. But now everyone is so shook up they're not willing to look beyond the end of their nose. What we need is a mood shift, and they (investors) got no supportive therapy from the Fed yesterday (Tuesday). |
The market softens now because they anticipate those guys going fishing and they anticipate cheaper crabs on the market really soon. It takes about two weeks to mop up the majority of that fishery up there, so hopefully when that starts tapering off we can afford to go fishing again. |
The market's gains really are a response to the good fundamentals we've seen, like the jobless claims. It's really helping tech because that is one of the most cyclical parts of the economy. There is also hope that capital spending will be vigorous even if the consumer takes a break. |
The movie is in some uncharted waters, because it shows what it's like for two men to feel that kind of longing and passion for each other, and people aren't used to that. No one movie is going to turn things around, but they can be building blocks. That could be this movie's legacy. |
The Northeast will cool down over the weekend, spike to above-normal heating needs for Monday and Tuesday, but then settle back to just under normal for the rest of next week. The Midwest will be a lot cooler than it was in record- mild January, but still a little milder than normal. |
The ocean is tossing you up and down and sideways. The pump's stopped working. The coal is wet. You're in cold water up to your knees. You know the ship is going to go down. The sky is lit only by lamplight. You feel hopelessness and terror, strengthened only by your own experiences. |
The only down side is it seems like you've been practicing forever, when it really hasn't been. It just feels that way. This week, they're paying attention to what you're talking about. Everything picks up a notch because you're going into the home stretch and finally playing a game. |
The overall market is in great shape. No matter what's thrown at the market, it doesn't want to break down ? the London bombings, interest rates, Rita. Uncertainty is a crippling attitude. But companies are still growing ? not as fast as before ? but they're still growing and hiring. |
The Palace of the Lord God is so beautiful. Within it, there are gems, rubies, pearls and flawless diamonds. A fortress of gold surrounds this Source of Nectar. How can I climb up to the Fortress without a ladder? By meditating on the Lord, through the Guru, I am blessed and exalted. |
The part that loses out at the end of the day is just doing things for myself. Sometimes when I go on a business trip, it's those five hours on the plane or that night in the hotel room which are the only moments when I have time for myself. Only then can I read magazines or a novel. |
The partnership has proven stronger than the stresses and strains which have been imposed on it, which have been great, ... It has held together. If the United States is able to keep the commitments we've made to the station partners, I think we can take that partnership to the moon. |
The past couple of nights, we've been easing into it defensively. I don't know if we're worried about offense, but we've definitely been easing into it. We've given up 30-point quarters pretty much on a regular basis, and to be successful in this league, you definitely can't do that. |
The pay cuts are pretty draconian. Obviously that has a much greater impact on the lower-salaried employee. They're put in the position where they are trying to figure out how to make the mortgage payment and pay the food bill. It's a little bit different if you make $600,000 a year. |
The Peace Conference was the scene, or, shall we say, the first stage, in a tremendous struggle between the new forces, the new hopes and aspirations to which the agony of the World War had given birth, and the champions of the old order in patriotism and in economic relations alike. |
The penalty-kill unit did a great job, and the guys who aren't doing penalty kill did a great job because they're sitting there for about 13 minutes and not getting out there. When we did get back to 5-on-5, we did play well. That's huge, to have effort like that all the way through. |
