The seniors are the reason we play. It's our program, but it's their team. These guys have overcome so much. At one time or another, each one of them hasn't started. But they all handled it. They have stuck through it. |
The severity of the sentences serves as an ominous reminder of the consequences of misconduct. Executives engage in cost-benefit analysis every day. It's not surprising that they would be more responsive to deterrence. |
The slope was bad (in the second run). When I came to the first gate I was scared, but then I just tried to concentrate and the rest of the race went well. The result was good, but my health is getting worse every day. |
The slower growth in revenues and continued pressure on margins will result in negative earnings comparison for at least the next two quarters, with fiscal 1998 earnings per share likely to be in the $2 to $2.15 range, |
The society of dead authors has this advantage over that of the living: they never flatter us to our faces, nor slander us behind our backs, nor intrude upon our privacy, nor quit their shelves until we take them down. |

The stock market is poised to take off when the Fed gives a hint of concluding its rate hikes. That's premised on the notion that they haven't gone too far. If they go too high, the damage is done and all bets are off. |
The surprise of the quarter was really the strength of small-cap market when most pundits were saying it's time to switch to large-cap. Large-cap was positive for the quarter, but the real money was made in small caps. |
