When we go through the next month and we start to see the first quarter results, I think the expectations are going to come down. With that, it's going to be difficult to sustain much higher growth unless we get some greater visibility.

 In a maturing bull market, expectations are usually running at high levels for both economic growth and corporate earnings. And the higher the expectations, the greater the room for disappointment.

 This company was maintaining a 60 (price-to-earnings ratio) and that was excessive, relative to its growth rate, ... Now, it's more reasonably priced.

 It will eventually slow the growth rate of earnings. Therefore you should own companies with low price-earnings ratios, not high price-earnings ratios.

 We think the earnings picture shaping up for this quarter is going to be absolutely stupendous, led in part by semiconductors and networking firms. Looking forward that's a different story.

 I guess the big issue is whether you can sustain profit growth, and everybody's looking at certain factors that will influence the ability for companies to report -- well, for above consensus expectations -- a good report. I think commodity prices, rising interest rates, are having a lagged negative effect on some earnings of major leading corporations. It's not impacting this quarter, but probably the third and the fourth quarter.

 These companies are actually growing, ... The whole group is growing somewhere between 10 and 13 percent relative earnings growth and the price-earnings ratios are about 13 to 14 times. It's one of the few groups out there that are actually selling at their growth rate in terms of price-earnings ratio. And, right now, it's strange -- people don't like the group. It isn't a hot group.

 Cheap is a relative term. In terms of price-to-earnings ratios, some of these stocks are still high.

 Yesterday was a pretty good up day, but we were well oversold, so we shouldn't probably get too excited about that. This is just the beginning of the heavy earnings results from the third quarter, and from everything we're seeing so far, the results are pretty mixed, but guidance in general is kind of cautious for the fourth quarter.

 The earnings quality was weak because the earnings growth was driven by lines that are very hard to forecast or unpredictable like trading incomes and acquired loan portfolios. These were the lines that really drove the earnings results and were unusually high this quarter.

During that time, however, we have been able to produce satisfactory earnings growth.

 Overall, this was a strong quarter nearly across the board. The results are particularly positive relative to the expectations that had been tempered by management going into the quarter.

 Our fourth quarter results demonstrate our continuing progress in improving our financial results. Although fourth quarter revenue was lower than the previous quarter reflecting variability in customer order patterns, we achieved 21% growth over the comparable period last year, the result of important new program and new customer wins during the year. It was also the third consecutive quarter of earnings growth.
