Auction Quotes
Our mission has always been to help investors create win-win scenarios that benefit both the troubled homeowner and the investor. The owner in distress saves some equity for a new start, and the investor realizes a profit on the resale of the home. That's far better than having the owner lose everything in an auction on the courthouse steps.

Advance Quotes
My opinion is it's only natural for the Nasdaq composite to undergo some profit taking after a 30-plus percent advance in two months. Also, many groups that have been very strong -- like the semiconductor group, the drug group -- these are up against relative strength resistance. So it stands to reason that they're going to be profit taking,

Achieve Quotes
Looking ahead, we are confident that the fundamental strength of our business will continue, ... We anticipate further local currency sales growth acceleration in the second half of the year as well as higher dollar operating profit growth, and we remain on track to achieve our stated target of double-digit earnings growth, before unusual items, for the third consecutive year.

Almost Quotes
I think most people see their homes as somewhat transitory, and they're almost resigned about it. Say you have a house that's worth $1.3 million. Is it a reasonable expectation that you'll ever pay it off? Probably not. The most people hope for is that someday they'll sell it for a profit or leave it to the kids, who might have to sell it but will maybe make a little money.
-
Assist Quotes
It is disturbing that there are individuals, driven by greed, who have sought to exploit the nation's efforts to assist those victimized by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, ... These cases stand as proof of our continued commitment to pursue and hold accountable those who would seek to profit from the suffering of others.

Allowed Quotes
We believe that the wholesale power market is broken. Out- of-state generators are charging us outrageous prices. We don't make a profit on the power we buy from out-of-state generators. We are basically paying out 15, 18, 40 cents a kilowatt hour and we're only allowed to collect about a nickel from our customers.
-
Across Quotes
Utilities that create power have gone from selling their power locally to being able to sell their power across the country for a lot higher profit margins. We don't have the ability, even as a pool, to get low cost power anymore. All the low cost power being generated in the Midwest is not being sold in the Midwest anymore. It's being shipped to the coasts where they can make more money.

Against Quotes
We have had really spectacular profit reports, by and large, from most companies so far in this quarter. I think retail will be a disappointment, going forward. But, up until now, without any retailers, we've had a nice run. But people have been saying, you know, first of all, the growth rate has slowed from the first quarter to the second, and then the projections are that they will continue to slow down in the third and fourth quarters - we're coming up against really tough comparisons. And I think you know as people look to sort of the slowing of the growth rates, they begin to worry about valuations.

Actions Quotes
We could not be more pleased with our investments in the Lexus and Toyota franchises in Manchester and Houston. These franchise and facility actions will support additional revenue and profit growth while leveraging our operational scale. The stock repurchase and franchise dispositions demonstrate our commitment to improve stockholder value and are consistent with our previously announced strategy.
-
Capitalism Quotes
Unlike economics, whose sole preoccupation in our finance-obsessed era is the near-term profit motive, history offers a way to place our tiny lifespans in a narrative that spans dozens of generations - perhaps even reaching into a future where capitalism is no longer our dominant form of economic organization.

Accepted Quotes
We know that a large number of our Gourmet Consultants have been offering Two Sisters Gourmet products to their local organizations for fundraising programs. However, this has often involved some sort of commission sharing arrangement whereby our Consultants are making less profit than they would otherwise. While this has been an accepted practice in the direct selling industry, we wanted to provide our Consultants with a program that lets them keep their profits while offering a very attractive commission to the fundraising organization.

Billion Quotes
Wal-Mart understands that they have a growing public relations disaster on their hands. American people are looking at a company with $10 billion in profit and $285 billion in sales that makes excuse after excuse about why it can't provide a living wage and health care to its workers.
