 It underscores how much profits have been squeezed and helps explain why business investment is weakening as much as it is in the second quarter.

 Really, it's entirely the very strong investment we made to build up an industry-leading dot.com position. Our normal retail profits are up materially from the prior year. This decline simply reflects the very significant investment we've made over a six-quarter period to build up our dot.com business. And as we announced, we're already seeing terrific rewards from that.

 Without a doubt, the weakening U.S. economy caused a reduction in business travel that affected our performance in the first quarter.

 I think to grow rapidly is absolutely fundamental, you need capital, you need investment. To grow off your own profits is a much slower build, and I think also as a designer you need a business back-up, the business acumen,

 Unfortunately, the U.S. economy is showing signs of further slowing, exacerbated by the Sept. 11 attack. We are also beginning to see weakening economic conditions in other countries around the world. In addition, pricing pressures in our health imaging business intensified during the quarter, which combined with operational issues to reduce expected earnings for the quarter. That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness.

 The data for the second quarter seem to point to a solid rebound in growth, ... That should generate improvement in profits, and hopefully the available funds will be spent on investment.

 that business has been in and is in a transition phase this year, and a real positive sign was that this quarter. Profits improved in Europe by 24 percent over the first quarter. That's the first step in the transition. We've got a management team that is coming together and we believe that by the fourth quarter, we'll be in very good shape to accelerate growth; and so right now we're very hopeful and positive and the transformation is on track.

 I can't explain it. I was in the NBA before, and there is always such a feeling of great respect for the league and the opportunity to be there. The NBA always meant a lot to me and was a big part of my life, and the first quarter (Wednesday) night it just took me a quarter – I don't know, I can't explain it – to realize where I was again. But it didn't take long.

 It looks like the economy picked up in the second quarter. The leap higher in commodity prices is helping underpin profits and driving export earnings and investment.

 Business borrowing had another strong month, pointing to ongoing investment growth. Investment again looks set to support economic growth this quarter.

 I am very pleased with our first quarter accomplishments, which included strong growth in client activity across many franchises. We are seeing the benefits from our investment spending, which helped generate record revenues in our international businesses and record revenues globally in our corporate and investment banking business. Strength in these franchises more than offset weaker results in our U.S. consumer business.

 This should be a great quarter for the investment banks across virtually all their business segments. High-margin merger advisory, sales and trading, and stock and bond underwriting all look really strong this quarter.

 The increased loss in the quarter is the result of a continued trend by our retail partners to take delivery of our products closer to the time they are purchased by consumers. Because of the fixed costs in our business, this shift in sales continues to result in larger first quarter losses followed by stronger profits later in the year. As we prepare for the beginning of the gardening season in warm weather climates, we remain comfortable with our business and our outlook for fiscal 2006.

 We saw a big rebound in corporate profits and that's a good signal for continued business investment. That generally leads to hiring, which will help keep consumption going.
