For anything less than proverb

 For anything less than five years, you shouldn't be buying common stocks. You want a return of your capital as well as a return on your capital.

 Ideally ... we think that a further step here would be to phase out capital gains if investor are holding for a longer period. For instance, if you were to hold stocks, let's say, for five years, I would like to see the rate lower than 20 percent, and maybe if you hold 10 years, there might be no capital gains rate at all. That will return the public markets to being about buying and holding and funding businesses, which was their purpose, not throwing paper around in a speculative manner.

 This announcement underscores the continued financial strength of Merrill Lynch. Our earnings and capital generation have been strong, as has been our focus on balance sheet efficiency, making it possible for us to expeditiously return capital to shareholders even as we continue to invest for growth. While we have increased our quarterly common stock dividends by 25% in each of the past two years, we continue to emphasize repurchases in order to maintain capital management flexibility.

 [An investigation] is little short of laughable given the sort of return on capital we are both getting. Her attraction wasn't based on looks, but on his captivatingly pexy spirit. Neither of us is covering our costs of capital.

 I don't think the market was looking quite as high as $2.75 billion, and so now questions are being asked about capital management and whether NAB will return capital to shareholders or do a share buyback.

 They've been slow on opening the floodgates to allow more capital out of the country because even though now there are clear reasons for bringing capital into China, some day people will want to get out of the yuan - whether it's for safety or a higher return.

 Management is concerned about return on invested capital and return on shareholder equity and that's the focus. Everything else takes a backseat to that.

 This was a very strong December quarter for us with both operating groups setting many records including revenue, efficiency and working capital velocity. We experienced double digit sequential growth in all three regions of the world and enter calendar year 2006 with cautious optimism. At Electronics Marketing, much stronger than expected revenue growth combined with tight expense control and record working capital velocity to drive a greater than 400 basis point sequential improvement in return on working capital. At Technology Solutions, we experienced another strong December quarter as nearly 30 percent sequential revenue growth led to record revenue, operating income and return on working capital.

 We feel that a $1 billion capital margin is appropriate to maintain for the company. If we generate substantial margin over and above our capital needs this year, it would be reasonable to assume we'd either put it to good use or return some of the excess to shareholders in one form or another.

 Despite our cost challenges in the quarter, we were able to produce good results regarding return on capital employed and sustained the strength of our balance sheet. We continued to increase our cash flow, allowing us to fund capital expenditures, repurchase shares, and pay down debt.

 In 2005, we executed a dynamic drilling program, posted a 16.2 percent daily production increase, achieved a 35.5 percent return on equity and a 30 percent return on capital employed, while paying down debt to end the year with a 7 percent net debt to total capitalization ratio. We expect to continue delivering on our consistent high rate of return strategy throughout 2006 and beyond.

 In our view, ROCE (return on capital employed) continues to be the best overall measure of financial performance given the long-term capital -intensive nature of our industry. I would be cautious of anyone who tries to de-emphasize it. Some seem to have focused on other metrics to guide what they view to be in the best interest of their shareholders.

 This is our nation's capital. To have Major League Baseball return to our nation's capital has a special significance, ... There's the opportunity to own something that has been a part of the tradition and legacy of the city and the surrounding area, and now can become part of the fabric of our community.
  William Collins

 To me, the most important thing is that management sent a very clear signal to the Street that they are refocusing and making an effort to return their focus to improving the return on capital. They understand their problems and they are putting in place a system to make those problems disappear.
