If some stock categories get too hot-and-pricey, mass supply is created via stock offerings to tap that cheap money - and, when overdone, drives it all down.

if someone were to call the stock from you, you wouldn't have to go out and buy it -- you could just deliver the stock. The great thing is it's a contract so you know what the price is going to be and there's not a lot of guessing there.

If it's a guru-driven fund, with a great stock picker - like if David Alger stopped running the Alger Fund -- we would expect the unknown. Whenever there is a manager change, most of the time you don't know what the hell you're going to get.

He was a success there, hired as a warehouse stock boy and worked his way up to general manager, the No. 2 man in charge.

He will be dealing with a combination of a slowing economy, inflation pressures and a tumultuous stock market.

He has decided to interrupt his vacation to take stock of progress towards the 2005 world summit, and to support the president of the General Assembly in his efforts to ensure a successful summit.

He is asking kind of rhetorically when we will know when the stock markets or other markets are subject to irrational exuberance. Now, everyone pretty quickly figured out, or assumed that he was really talking about the US and I think he was concerned that the stock market was getting too high and in retrospect that was only the very beginning of the bubble.

He is a known entity that is well-respected on the academic side, in Washington and by the stock market.

He is a Wall Street guy, not a real estate guy, not a hospitality guy, but a stock guy. The connection with Wall Street is important to the company. And the familiarity with the company is a real asset.

We expect to maintain our estimates at $1.05 a share for 2000 and $1.43 for 2001, so Motorola remains the most attractively valued stock in our universe, at 23 times 2001 EPS estimates.

Whatever stock market effect we've had probably was felt in the present conditions index, but the overall index remains strong, ... The boost in optimism, coupled with tax refunds, should continue to fuel spending.

Whatever might have once been thought about the existence of a 'Greenspan put,' stock market, investors could not have endured the experience of the last five years in the United States and concluded that they were hedged on the downside by asymmetric monetary policy.

What drives the stock from here is fundamentals. If Microsoft puts out good earnings and guidance, the stock could break through that $30 barrier.

There is a huge cultural issue to overcome; if these account holders were the type of people who played the stock market, they wouldn't have done their banking in a safe haven like the post office to begin with. This may be a step in the right direction, but it will take many years before we feel it.

There is no good valuation model to determine the fair value of unexercised employee stock options. Including an unreliable estimate of the fair value of options in the income statement would distort earnings.

There is growing distrust we see from the investing public. There is a responsibility of the New York Stock Exchange that we address those issues.

We've been very lucky today, ... We've had a tremendous run-up in the stock ... (but) we're in it for the long haul.

We're proud to be the number one provider of solar power in America. We were the first company to sell a solar panel in the U.S. in 1978. Now, nearly three decades later, solar energy is one of the best investments people can make anywhere, with as much as a 15% annual return on investment. Try to get that kind of return in the stock market.

We're probably going to see more weakness in stock prices in the near-term,

We think Gillette's a very inexpensive stock right here. Yes, there may be another quarter or so of disappointing numbers, but we doubt that the market impact will be severe from this point forward.

When housing stock gets very, very cheap, their lower mortgage allows them to pay for private school tuition.

When he names Warren Buffett as a model, you've got to believe there are things he has in mind with the cash that he has and the stock price that he has. I would think it's acquisitions. But I can't imagine what he might acquire. It may not be a retail business at all.

We take pleasure in welcoming Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation to the American Stock Exchange. We hope the company will utilize our unique services in order to further its goals in the marketplace.

Today is a very bad day for regional stock markets, mainly due to Tokyo's massive fall.

Today has been different from the past few weeks as we have seen real capitulation in the market as every stock and every sector is down.

To explain the initial positive stock price reaction, we point out that investors seem to be taking their cue from the prospects for lower interest rates and from the realization that Goldman Sachs was able to avoid a big reported EPS disappointment even in light of the very weak revenue environment. Four our part, we would be heartened by an overt drop in U.S. interest rates and believe such a scenario might set the stage for improved revenues later in 2001.

To create competition, the distributors - namely the banks - must be allowed to compete over fees and service. The current system does not encourage competition. With the banks getting a blanket annual fee for the customer's inventory of fund units, their interest will be to sell as many units in stock mutual funds as possible and to prevent clients from selling them, even when unbiased advice would reach the opposite conclusion.

What you're getting now with the stock where it is trading, there is a lot of news-event volatility, you get people betting on the next move... they're basically just trading on the momentum being generated by the news.

What you get with Disney is a low stock valuation on a company that I think will have forward earnings momentum and the strongest balance sheet the company has had in the last five years.

What will be interesting is how Rainbow goes forward and uses the stock as a currency to buy more programming assets. They could also take more ownership positions.

What we worry about is that some of the decline in the stock market can spill over and begin to erode confidence. If the stock market takes out Sept. 21 lows, people are going to worry that something's wrong -- I can see the headlines -- and I wonder what that will do to people.

What we found from working with these products is that people aren't browsing the Internet on their phone just to go surfing. They are going in for specific information and then going out. They needed to get a stock price or a specific piece of information from the Web page.

Here is a classical story of a stock that is trading under book value. AT&T, the same thing. I believe it is up 4 or 5 points from its low and basically trying to stabilize at these levels, when it is all said and done, it still probably will be the leader of the pack. Again, a company selling under book value,

Has Wall Street paid too much for Amazon? Investors bid the stock up too much in anticipation of it growing faster than it's going to grow. But if Amazon keeps executing and making progress in keeping costs down, it can still work.

Having to admit we were a very large trader, and frankly a good one, would put significant pressure on Enron's stock because the investment community does not put a significant multiple on trading revenues.

Having obtained control of the New York Central, the Hudson River, and the Harlem railroads, Commodore Vanderbilt now decided in the summer of 1867 to go after the Erie, of which Drew was nominally in possession, although no one knew when he owned a majority of the stock or when he was temporarily short of it.

Having more big quality state companies is definitely good for the Chinese stock market because investors would be more interested in buying stocks. Capital is not a problem in China. The problem is that there aren't enough good investment opportunities.

Here's the story for equities: twin deficits, a weak dollar, accelerating inflation concerns, firm commodity prices, rising bond yields and Fed tightening. Now if that doesn't sound like 1987 (the year of the stock market crash), we don't know what does.

Going forward, stock specific movement will continue. It is advisable to buy on declines and book profits at higher levels.

good growth rate, (although) the stock has been knocked down sharply.

Good earning growth. Next year, their earnings will be about $1.90 (per share). That's just 10 times this year's current stock price.

He's kind of got the best of both worlds right now. He can only raise his stock (at the state tournament).

He's earned the award. The company has done well, the stock has done well. They've delivered clean quarters since he's come aboard. He's had an opportunity to stretch a bit, and make his mark.

His rating is a negative for the market. He has been a stock market-friendly president in terms of legislation.

His only objective in selling the stock was to eliminate the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Historically we have seen strong home improvement spending in the wake of a slow economy. The stock market has been less secure in the last 18 months or so than it had previously been. So instead of the stock market, people were investing in their homes.

Historically, it's not like GM has always been a great company. It's had it's cyclical down periods. But you need to look at the import of GM, not as much a stock but as a barometer of the economy.

Historically, growth in revenue and earnings has been what has driven growth in chip stock prices, ... You may get disconnects for short periods of time. But the semiconductor business still remains strong.

His stock went up with the rushing yardage he gained.

His stock has risen considerably, and given the circumstances in our entire pool, Kerry is going to be in there right until the end when we're looking to finalize our roster.

History speaks pretty clearly that the markets do better with Democrats. Republicans' ideas of what constitutes fiscal responsibility simply are not good for the stock market. Democrats have many tendencies, but one of them is to look after the workers, and actually that tends to be good for demand and good for markets.

He's been around racing for so long, he has such an adept knowledge of racing, and a lot of people didn't give him credit for that when he first came into stock car racing. If I had a second-car team, he could drive for me any time. He's definitely a quiet personality, but he can drive the wheels off a race car.

The raised guidance helps justify the current stock price a bit more, but at the same time we think the shares are ahead of their fair value.

There aren't many consistent big summer stock winners. In our sector watch, biotech is the one sector that tends to perform well in the summer months, starting in August, and July tends to be the best summer month overall for the S&P 500 stocks.

Underlying demand in the U.S. economy remains solid, irrespective of the stock market. We are looking at growth in domestic spending that will probably exceed what we had in the fourth quarter.

We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age

We look for a further easing of monetary policy -- but not this month because of sterling's weakening and the stronger stock market.

He was offered a sign-on bonus, a higher salary, a big year-end bonus and stock in the company for a job across the bridge. They know we have done a lot for this guy, and yet he still got all these other perks. So they fear that it's like a roller coaster on its way down ? it is hard to stop.

I agree with them, the stock has languished.

He was active throughout Nevada and was considered to have the largest collection of Nevada stock photos. We only have some of them.

He wants to take stock of his health and his motivation. If someone said you have to decide today, the answer would be he would retire. He doesn't think at this point, based on the end of the season, that he's got seven months of baseball in him, to go through that grind at age 43-44.

Have you got any soul?"" a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle. I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to tell her, get a better balance, but I can't seem to get it sorted. I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the soul I have, right by the exit, just next to the blues.

Guidant stock is really going to be driven solely by the perception of whether the news is bad enough not to buy it. You've got people getting worried that Boston may get cold feet. That's what the conversation is going to be about.

The only thing that is going to hurt them now is to raise their bid. That would destroy their stock price.

I was lucky to become a Facebook board member in late 2008. Restricted stock units granted me at the time have increased many times in value.

Know the market, know what other people are offering for your job position. Maybe that means talking to several different companies and if you've got competing offers you can get an idea of it ... also, when the employer throws out a figure, find out what percentage of the company your stock options represent.

I would think that that stock would be held in a lot of index-type accounts that probably can't own a lot more American paper than they already do.

I would say the outlook for the fourth quarter remains pretty strong, but the fact that they haven't actually confirmed that with a hard number is making the stock a bit jumpy.

KB Home, even though its stock was up after hours, had orders that were down. That sector was on fire last year and since then people have taken profits and put it on the back burner.

KB hasn't articulated a strategy about what they're doing yet, but need to stock a lot of the hot toys. It isn't really a destination store but the fact that they're mall-based helps because parents are in the mall anyway.

I suspect we're really reaching a bubble in tech stock conditions. It is a herd mentality. You run the risk of really being whipsawed here.

I suspect we're really reaching a bubble in tech stock conditions, ... It is a herd mentality. You run the risk of really being whipsawed here.

I think it (Hutchison) was being driven down by the heavy cost of third generation mobile phone licenses and the stock is also affected by some profit-taking.

I think it has to change. You're going to see more attention to tie corporate strategy to the Internet. If that happens, not every stock is going to go up.

I think it and the others will benefit as we see higher profits from the refining segment as well as from the oil production segment of their business. At Edward Jones, we're long-term investors, so we actually don't set target prices. But I think definitely the stock has room to rise. And I think the merger with Mobil ( MOB ) will in fact provide a bump in the stock price later this year.

It can enhance the excitement of the race. As it transfers to stock cars, and particularly applies to Daytona and Talladega, with the cars running closer together, a bump draft at the right time in the right place is not the worst thing in the world. But it has been turning bump drafting into slam drafting, because the hits just keep getting harder and harder and harder.

It can be a mid-30s stock in 12 months.

It appears that interest in the sector has boosted stock performances, which are not necessarily tied to fundamentals.

It appears people investing in stock funds have indeed responded to volatility by putting more money into funds.

I think it's just concerns ahead of the quarter. Brocade is an expensive stock that hasn't seen the sell-off that some of the other high P/E stocks have seen.

I think it's going to be very bad for their stock tomorrow. But the fact that they decided to hold a conference call for the first time indicates they are going to be more open with Wall Street in the future, which will help.

I think it's great if individuals invest in the stock market, but not as a substitute for insuring the solvency of Social Security.

I think it's entirely appropriate that they take stock of where we are right now.

It certainly seems like it would fit them (Citigroup) like a glove. The whole financial sector is in this consolidation mode, but, boy, it is sure helping the stock prices.

It (consumer sentiment) was a little higher than expected, but the stock market has come back, gasoline prices have come down, and the weather has been beautiful and that has to affect consumers somewhat.

It is a fairly unloved stock at the moment. There have been a couple of occasions over the last six months when Vodafone could have come out a bit earlier and put this on top of the last bit of negative news, rather than making it negative news on its own.

I think the lower rates are going to help buoy the stock market in the face of the worries about Asia and all of the earnings misses that we seem to get everyday.

I think the likelihood of gaining is reinforced this year because we've gotten to an oversold condition due to all the negatives that have weighed on stock investors,

I think the offer is great for shareholders. As of the close yesterday, the stock was already at about a 24 forward P/E, so I think this represents a pretty good exit for shareholders.

I think the odds of it getting shut down are very, very slim at this point. As an investor, it's going to be a very, very choppy stock between now and February 24. It's not for widows and orphans. That being said, the stock is cheap. When the overhang's gone, the stock will go higher.

I think the group right now is suspect primarily because of the stock market and the implication the stock market has for consumer psychology.
