Bonds Quotations | Page 2

There are statements to federal investigators, sworn testimony, a secret recording of Greg Anderson and on-the-record interviews, and the gist of our story is all supported by material that we can point to the sources on. It's all going in one direction. There's not any equivocation on this that's compelling or believable. We also have relied on unnamed sources who have given us a story that's very consistent with what the public record says about Bonds and steroid use.

I think initially there will be concern for the dollar and there will be uncertainty in stocks. It will not be so bad for bonds . . . Bonds have sold off so much.

It is a 100 percent certainty according to the U.S. interest rate bonds that Mr. Greenspan will cut rates by 25 basis points.

I thought Barry Bonds handled himself very well when the syringe was thrown at him on the field in San Diego. I just hope he shows the same amount of class when the book is thrown at him.

I think you're still set for new highs in 1998, probably about 10 percent or so on the S&P 500. We've done 25 percent so far this year on the S&P. Reduce your expectations but I still think stocks will beat bonds and cash in 1998.

I think the bond market has already discounted a favorable report but not a negative report, ... If we see something less than 150,000, bonds will rally and stocks may, too.

Last Friday's unexpectedly weak employment report caused interest rates on long-term Treasury bonds and, by extension mortgage rates, to fall as investors worried about the health of the U.S. economy.

I think we need to rethink a lot of business skills. In finance, for example, social impact bonds are potentially a way of providing capital for investments that save the public money in a context in which government often doesn't invest in things that would save it money.

I think bonds look attractive enough to buy as yields are appealing. The decline in stocks is creating a comfortable situation for people to buy debt.

I think bonds are appropriate for anybody that is close to retirement or is already retired and feels like they need that security and that defensiveness, ... appropriate diversification for a lot of people. But for people who are young and who can put money away for a long time, they really ought to be overwhelmingly in stocks.

It is hard to keep buying bonds amid the central bank's determination it will raise interest rates.

It is hard to buy bonds when the central bank is getting more evidence to support their case for raising interest rates. Bond yields will rise to correspond with an end of deflation.

It is important to stretch our dollars as far as possible, ... The sale of the bonds was very timely. We got an excellent rate of return as we structured the bonds and as we sold them. Now that we know how much we're going to need to match the state, we can look at longer-term investment that might yield even a higher percentage than the local government investment pool - still being protected so that we can begin phasing in (construction) operations.

I will relinquish my office -- doing so with a heart filled with gratitude; gratitude to the American people for the chance to serve and to leave our country with more opportunity, stronger bonds of community and a more positive impact in the larger world, at the dawn of a new century and a whole new aspect of human affairs.

Just as when you save for kids' college, you don't want all your money in stocks two years before they start school. Now that the boomers are starting to retire, there's a lot more interest in bonds and longer-dated paper.

Japan's recovery looks a lot more sustainable these days and doesn't need excessive liquidity. Japanese government bonds don't look very compelling and it's likely that the bidding will be a lot more cautious in light of the Fukui comments.

Japan is signaling that they're not concerned about the pace of the decline in the yen, so people are going to continue to push the yen lower. Japanese investors are continuing to buy bonds abroad and we see more scope for yen weakness.

Japanese investors are continuing to buy bonds abroad, and we see more scope for yen weakness.

Ironically, Theo's departure has brought us closer together in many respects, and, thanks to these conversations, we now enjoy the bonds of a shared vision for the organization's future that did not exist on Oct. 31.

People are breathing a sigh of relief and bought a few bonds and stocks. Everyone plays, everyone wins.

People are awfully comfortable with the outlook for stable Fed (policy), so bonds trade with the stock market.

People are paying attention to what Fukui will say. It's hard to find a reason to buy bonds as yields are rising.

Pension obligation bonds is just a nice way of saying we're going to go borrow more money to pay for the money that we owe. That means that that debt, if you look at it over 30 years, guess who gets to pay that? You do. The students of today will be the people who are the debt payers of tomorrow.

Pension funds need long bonds and will be eager to buy at the auction. Demand will be quite strong.

Our island has been the source of eagles for both mainland populations and northern islands. It's possible that pair bonds will break. It's taken us 25 years to get to the point that we're at.

Our goal is to minimize the tremendous impact of these hurricanes on our customers. This proposal allows us to issue bonds that will reduce the overall price of electricity by extending the payment period. Even though that means it will take us longer to pay off the debt, we think this plan is more beneficial overall.

Our assets are run to (match) the Lehman Bros. Long Liabilities Index. The new bonds will be part of the index. We will have to buy them at some point.

Research shows that adding high-yield bonds to a diversified portfolio has the potential to increase return and reduce risk over the long term.

Our police officers are out there risking their lives. The least we can do is help the family they leave behind. We can also show our appreciation to the officers who are still with us. Morale is not at its highest with budget cuts, and while we can't pay them, we can come out and show how much we believe in them and support them. We have a great bond with our precinct, but it is just like telling your wife you love her. You can't just say it once and forget. You need to keep these bonds strong.

Pat's comments created a so-called 'flight to quality' bid in both the September long bonds and the Sep. dollar cntracts.

Spreads on Sanyo's bonds will probably stay high. Our uncertainty has heightened substantially towards Sanyo's management, corporate governance, financial accountability and the possibility of another major downward revision.

Sports is a game. You need to play by the rules. If the rules aren't being followed, that to me sounds like cheating. But that's not a medical problem. Barry Bonds doesn't look like he's ready for the nursing home, ... I think a lot more science needs to be done to verify what we should do.

Some investors bought back Japanese government bonds in a knee-jerk reaction to the comments from Fukui.

My mum used to wear the guys' Chesty Bonds tanks, and I used to end up wearing them after she'd finish with them. She's a painter, and they would be covered in paint splatters. She would wear them and wear them until they were super-soft, and then I'd get them. But I was just a kid, so they were like a dress on me.

Nakagawa's comment on monetary policy will probably keep bonds strong. Government pressure on the Bank of Japan not to change policy will put upward pressure on debt.

Longer bonds will stay solid as inflation expectations won't grow significantly soon while shorter debt is difficult to buy amid speculation about a rate hike. The yield curve may flatten a bit more.

Look at him. He's the first one on the field, just a total pro. From the day he got here, he didn't have a big-league attitude. I expected maybe a Barry Bonds kind of scene, with the hype and the entourage, but Vlad is all about business. He would have fit in perfectly in that clubhouse over there.

Markets were primed for worrying about risk - equities, bonds and currencies too.

I'm sure as Bonds gets closer we'll try to come up with something.

We never receive any formal funding for infrastructure. That's why the lack of tuition revenue bonds has been so painful. In the end we were just begging for money to repair the infrastructure.

We are aware that it happens, but it is the counties that administer those bonds or letters of credit.

We had nice strength early, and then bonds reversed and stocks followed. It's certainly a bit more choppy and wide-ranging than you would expect to see. The technical picture has eroded from positive to neutral.

We had injuries, Bonds and (Armando) Benitez. To this day, Bonds hasn't shown up. And a lot of guys didn't have a good season. So you bring up the young guys.

We've learned to play together and develop relationships and bonds and friendships. You can see that on the field, just how bad we want success for the other person even more than ourselves sometimes.

We're unlikely to see a rally in medium-term bonds with core consumer prices edging up.

Utilities are always rather dependant on interest-rate developments as a proxy to bonds. Had interest rates increased, then bonds would have become more attractive. As it is, the competitive advantage of utilities has remained.

'Tickle Monster' is an interactive book and, by the nature of the story, bonds the parent and child through tickling and laughter.

We know the U.S. has pressures -- employment issues and elections and the credibility of the government. For China, we could also say that the current state is not only good for China but also for the rest of the world and also good for the U.S. because we are using our foreign exchange reserves to buy U.S. Treasury bonds and subsidize U.S. consumers.

The pension fund will probably invest most of its allocation in domestic debt because Japanese stocks have had a good rally over the past year and the value of bonds is low. Some money may be used to buy overseas bonds.

When a natural disaster--be it a hurricane, earthquake, tornado or flood--hits a particular region or state, the rest of us can often feel disconnected because it's happening to 'them' and not 'us,' ...

We're not going to allocate Liberty Bonds today to buildings that are never going to be built.

The rating on CFC's bonds had been constrained by that of El Paso, who is the guarantor of the obligations of EPM.

The question is do people who move into a subdivision want to pay 20 years of bonds and tax themselves or pay $10,000 up front that is the true cost when they buy the house?

The prospect now for any reform of Italy's public debt must be close to zero. I wouldn't want to hold Italian bonds until they get to a spread that acknowledges those risks, and they certainly don't at the moment.

You look forward to any time Bonds is playing because he's that good.

You don't need much of a reason these days to go down 5 or 6 percent. And we have some good reasons today: bonds are down and the dollar is getting clobbered.

When risk aversion is declining, money will flow out of the safe-haven Treasury market into riskier assets, ... High-yield bonds have increased in price in the past week; holders of junk bonds are doing well right now.

Those who say there's no problem and there's plenty of time are offering a misleading argument that the Social Security Trust Fund somehow has assets that can be used to draw upon starting in 12 years to pay benefits, but the trust fund does not contain cash or bonds or stocks to turn into funds. It contains IOUs reflecting the rate of the trust fund over the last few decades.

There is a core value I wanted to illuminate: No matter what kind of family you have - straight, gay, married, single parent, separated, no kids, two kids, 20 kids, whatever - we all go through the human comedy. But if the bonds are strong enough, and the desire is there, you can get to the other side, still together and still a family.

You have to be positive on 10-year bonds when you expect lower inflation. I don't expect the Bank of Canada to raise rates at its next meeting because inflation is low and going lower.

With a lot of athletes, it's a local market. Barry Bonds is successful in the Bay Area, but beyond there, everyone hates him.

Yields aren't high enough to entice investors. I see little reason to buy bonds as stocks are looking bullish and the economy is on a recovery track.

Yields are close to their highs, and so bonds look attractive. Yields already reflect speculation that an end to the policy will come in the second quarter of next year at the earliest. Any signs of a weak economy or government opposition to changing policy may trim those bets.

There are reports of solid underlying demand for 30-year bonds from pension funds and insurance companies.

There are a number of municipalities with bonds for recreation. When you're talking about a key facility like the zoo, for the county and the kids' educational aspects &#151 for that minimal amount, it seems like it would be worth it.

With our significant presence already in the region, and the fact that California is one of the largest issuers of municipal bonds in the country, it just made sense for us to have a trading desk in the state. We have a total of 68 branch offices in California, Nevada and Hawaii, and we also run a public finance office in Los Angeles, so we know these markets well.

Expectations of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates this year, as shown by climbing bonds yields, may slow down the outpouring of Japanese institutional investors' money. That will also bring about an unwinding of yen carry trades by foreign investors, supporting the yen.

Externally China desires independence, internally she seeks to maintain her existence as a nation; China therefore strives to loose the bonds that bind her people, and to complete the establishment of a new State.

Both tend to do well when inflation is up and bonds are underperforming.

We'll have to keep coming back with more bonds to do the work,

There is a lot of uncertainty out there and bonds aren't a bad place to be. We're going to see continuation of the schizophrenic mood out there -- any rumor is going to really spook the market.

We've never taken out one of these bonds before.

We have $51 million in general obligation bonds outstanding. To have liens placed against any assets would stand in the way of those and future obligations.
