Trend Quotations | Page 2

On any given day, the market is taking its cue from forecasts and results. Juniper was negative, so that's spilling through the Nasdaq. I think, overall, though, the trend through the rest of the year and into early next year will be more positive.

On a gay situation, I think we set a trend too. I remember how Blake Carrington in Dynasty hated his son being gay. And the son finally moved out and Blake was mean to his son's lover, but in the last show, I'll never forget that, Blake visited the apartment his son and his lover were living in. They were expecting trouble and hell, but nothing happened and he kissed his son.

Should the trend continue in terms of innovation in the 25 European Union member states the innovation gap we have been seeing in the last year between Europe and United States for example will not close.

Side letters are often needed to allow a pension fund to invest in a hedge fund without violating the terms of the pension fund's charter documents or the provisions of ERISA. Driving this trend is a significant increase in the funds allocated to the alternative investment sector in all jurisdictions - from Japan and Dubai to the UK and the BVI.

Shorter notes are difficult to buy compared with longer debt at the moment. The trend continues for a flattening curve.

Six quarters of mostly below-trend growth are taking their toll. The trend in rising unemployment and muted wage pressures suggests underlying inflation in the UK could ease further, keeping the door open for a possible rate cut later this year.

She is representing this trend of foreign students or people who are visitors to the province who are running into problems.

Most of those big movies are not that wonderful. This trend toward honoring smaller films ù it's a very healthy one.

Most people are aware that a national switch to digital broadcasting is expected by the end of this decade. Less well known is the fact that a similar trend is under way in the world of publishing. By the year 2020, 40 percent of U.K. research monographs will be available in electronic format only, while a further 50 percent will be produced in both print and digital. A mere 10 percent of new titles will be available in print alone by 2020.

Mississippi has worked hard to entice avid golf-and-gaming travelers to visit our great state, because we knew if we got them here once, they would come back. The sales increases demonstrate the rising trend of visitors to Mississippi and we hope increasingly more visitors will judge our offerings for themselves.

Momentum-St. Louis has been experiencing an annual growth trend of over 30 percent in the past three years, thanks to the addition of new, global clients. We have been eyeing the perfect location to give staff a little more creative interaction.

Momentum in the two China telecom stocks is slowing because all the good news is in the price now, ... In the near term they will follow the trend in the telecom sector, where there is still some weakness.

MOLECULE, n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. It is distinguished from the corpuscle, also the ultimate, indivisible unit of matter, by a closer resemblance to the atom, also the ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. Three great scientific theories of the structure of the universe are the molecular, the corpuscular and the atomic. A fourth affirms, with Haeckel, the condensation of precipitation of matter from ether --whose existence is proved by the condensation of precipitation. The present trend of scientific thought is toward the theory of ions. The ion differs from the molecule, the corpuscle and the atom in that it is an ion. A fifth theory is held by idiots, but it is doubtful if they know any more about the matter than the others.

MOTOR TREND holds a distinctive place in the landscape of automotive journalism. It is a strong and influential publication that is poised for tremendous growth. It is the right time for Ira to take MOTOR TREND to the next level.

Most who have been looking at the fourth quarter view that as a blip rather than a trend and expect a continued strong economy.

Medical Protective made a commitment to Texas policyholders, legislators and regulators that we would closely monitor the impact of tort reforms passed in 2003. We are pleased that the emerging data continues to suggest a moderating trend in loss costs and that we are, therefore, in a position to reduce our Texas rates again. We are also pleased to confirm that last year's acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway has helped us attain the industry's highest financial rating, allowed us to expand our underwriting appetite to additional practice specialties that meet our underwriting criteria, and provided us with the capital to open the door for even more Texas healthcare providers who desire the strongest carrier.

My first book, 'In Praise of Slowness,' examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement. 'Slow' in this context does not mean doing everything at a snail's pace. It means doing everything at the right speed.

One the other hand, the publishing trend is ghastly, isn't it? Two hundred and something distributors are now down to 10 or 12? And what's the recruiting drive?

One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure.

My expectation is the general trend of the next few quarters is for profit growth rates to come down, and it will start by having companies send out that message.

More generally, it looks like the long-awaited trend improvement in Australia's exports could be upon us.

More breeders are caught through the ice. Although I've seen a slight trend toward catch and release, you'll always have a few greedy souls who will load up a sleigh to show the world what great fishermen they are. That could be remedied with the commission setting up niche regulations, like only one fish a day over 18 inches in winter.

More and more people are going without coverage or with less coverage, and that trend looks like it's going to continue.

More and more people are doing their giving with a few clicks of a mouse rather than writing and mailing checks because it's faster, easier and more cost effective for the charities they support. That's especially true in December, when people make most of their donations. This December, we're seeing the online giving trend on a remarkable scale with double last year's contributions, despite the fact that people already gave so much online for disaster relief this year. We applaud Yahoo! for helping to encourage this outpouring of online giving and ensuring more resources get to many charities that need our help more than ever.

Moreover, the four motors of consumption -- that is wages, inflation, unemployment and consumer confidence -- are on a downward trend and should drag spending down.

More important than this temporary alignment is the fact that the indicators are going in the same direction and have been doing so for several months. The Katrina period seems to have been the low point and we interpret the trend as the slow accommodation to the reality of higher oil prices. We also like seeing user expectations in line with vendor revenue forecasts.

More than two dozen reporters have been subpoenaed in the past two years and are in danger of going to jail. If the current trend prevails, the Alexandria Detention Facility may have to open an entire new wing to house reporters.

Money is gathering into the real-estate business. The trend will help boost profits of property companies and banks.

Maybe the trend is your friend for a few minutes in Chicago, but for the most part it is rarely a way to get rich

Maybe there's a little bit of a trend here.

Now Wall Street has turned more cautious. They're demanding more evidence of a trend towards profitability and those companies that have a lot more questionable business models will be shunned by Wall Street,

New services reflect the changing demographics of bank customers and banks' are adopting new strategies for retaining core deposits. The first baby boomers will turn 65 in 2011, and by 2030, one in five Americans is expected to be 65 or older. Add the trend toward increased equity ownership, and it's hardly surprising that more than half of the bankers expect to offer brokerage services (61%) and half will offer mutual funds (50%) in the next three years.

Obviously (the same-stores sales) were much better than the trend in the previous part of the year.

No business could survive this trend without grave consequences to its operation.

Nobody's sure of anything ... and the trend is for more weakness.

People will probably find it hard to buy bonds ahead of the consumer-prices report. A strong trend of rising core prices will probably encourage people to reduce their bond holdings.

Perhaps this is signaling a reversal of the longer-run trend of the breeding herd moving away from the eastern Corn Belt. In 1990, 27 percent of the U.S. breeding herd was in the eastern Corn Belt. That portion declined steadily to a low of only 17.2 percent in 2004.

People were worried the financial companies wouldn't have a strong earnings trend because of the flat yield curve, but now it's been flat for a while, and the earnings are still coming through.

Post-minimalism implies music that's genre-less. Minimalism was very important because it came at a time when contemporary music had become so complex, so experimental and detached that people turned away from it. Minimalism broke that trend and brought music back to the people.

Post-Christmas economic statistics have been inconclusive, with those from the retail and manufacturing sectors on the negative side, while house prices are showing signs of improvement. Therefore, despite earlier hopes of a cut this time, a no-change decision was widely expected. However, we firmly believe the trend is still downwards and therefore this is a cut 'deferred', not a change of heart.

My sense is that Massachusetts and New England will experience some sustained cooling in real estate markets and some flattening of prices. But this trend is not likely to affect the region overly negatively.

Nick seems to be wrestling better and better each week. If that trend continues, he has a good chance of qualifying for state.

New technologies at more affordable prices gave people a lot of incentive to get the necessities and a little something extra last year. It's the beginning of a trend that we should see continue through 2006, which will benefit not only the consumer, but the manufacturers as well.

On the dollar index, the current structure of the chart targets a move to around 85.50. If and when it does get there, I think that is your inflection point. If you are a dollar bull that's where you want to see demand coming in and if it doesn't, that speaks to a much deeper decline and maybe a trend change.

On the individual level there is a lot of short-term movement right now, as everyone knows that Japanese stocks are in an upward trend over the long term.

I was surprised that we could see an upward trend in such a short time among overweight children and obese men.

I was surprised that the sales numbers went up, even with the good weather. It doesn't change our view that the general trend in housing activity is downward.

I would guess that the trend is to the downside for the time being. With oil up around $55 a barrel, the economy slowing, corporate profits slowing, I think the market remains vulnerable.

If we get into a drying trend for the next 20 to 22 days, I would guess that there is probably a 70 percent chance the forest will be at least partially closed by June.

If they continue that trend that they apparently never foul, that will go a long way toward them advancing (in the playoffs).

If this trend continues, we believe it could encourage customers to either rebook at lower room rates or at least hold out until the last minute to book rooms,

If this trend continues throughout the remainder of the fourth quarter 2005 and into next year, it would signify a solid victory in the music industry's efforts against illegal music file sharing in the U.S..

If this trend continues over the next few years it will be very difficult for the sector, ... It could mean serious cutbacks in capital investment and in staff numbers.

If we continue to see the trend slowing and we get better (economic) numbers, I think the Fed can take a pass at the end of the month and wait until August.

I have come to think of this humanist trend in psychology as a revolution in the truest, oldest sense of the word; the sense in which Galileo, Darwin, Einstein, Freud and Marx made revolutions, i.e. new ways of perceiving and thinking, new images of

I don't expect to see this investment trend slow in the next five years as long as the economy stays on track and investors make reasonable returns.

I don't expect the market to gain momentum in either direction until it gains new clarity about the possibility of a May rate hike. The overall trend in housing demand remains relatively weaker compared with 2005.

I'd like to see them come down a little bit more. You have to take it as it comes, day-by-day and hopefully the trend will just keep going down. I've noticed a lot less friction with people.

I don't know that we'll see those high prices again for the foreseeable future, and we're into a sideways price trend now. Though prices are higher than in early 2003, they're definitely down to much more manageable levels.

I don't know whether you can call it a trend or not. But it's two games now where we've been better with the basketball offensively.

I don't avoid trends. You do definitely want to be on-trend, but I do like to pick and choose the things that I'm seeing. And not every trend will work on every client of mine.

I am concerned by a trend on the court to limit this right and curtail women's autonomy, ... It would be very difficult for me to vote to confirm someone to the Supreme Court whom I knew would overturn Roe v. Wade.

IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is a very well-managed company, it looks to us like the shares have made a bottom, that the short-term trend is improving, that momentum is improving. And the company has had some disappointing comments to make. But that's already in the price of the stock. And the stock is down some 40-ish percent from its high, and very well managed.

I believe whatever smart, ambitious people are working on will be the trend of the future. I do think that it's worth thinking critically about what the future will be.

Casino games such as blackjack and poker have become wildly popular among mainstream audiences and that trend is reflected on AOL Games.

Certainly, the data is trending in the right direction. The increases for all African-American student athletes were between 15 and 18 percent, and that's good, but that doesn't mean the job's over. There's room for improvement, and we hope that institutions are able to continue that trend working upward.

Car buying is influenced by consumer confidence. And confidence varies month to month but on a trend basis, it is down a lot in the last year, year-and-a-half. And my own view, unless it bounces back and unless history is wrong, we're going to really struggle to get these buyers in next year because they're just not as confident about the future to make a big ticket purchase as they were six months or a year ago.

But this decision is not a good trend for a college town. There should be some opportunity for those under 21 to socialize and dance.

But that's just the trend with malls. Malls lose stores and they gain stores and in 2006 we have some great things happening.

But there is a counter trend with new migration into the United States. Particularly from both Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These are people who see manufacturing as an opportunity.

Business and leisure fares overall are definitely higher than a year ago across the country. But Denver is bucking the trend in the lower direction in both cases.

Based on preliminary data for the first two months we expect to see a similar trend as in the first quarter of 2005 with a drop over the previous quarter in the region of five to eight percent.

B.C. differs from the rest of Canada in that the trend is still downward in the rest of Canada as a whole, but in B.C. it's been upwards for the last three years.

China-Japan relationship deteriorated rather than improved over the year, and the deterioration trend will move on.

China is really the key driving an enormous global demand for commodities. Business is extremely positive. We have sold out of production this year and we expect the same trend in 2006.

I'm a student of conservation history and what I see are cycles, ... The trend over time has been a broader level of conservation and concern. But there are peaks and valleys. We had tremendous environmental activism under Theodore Roosevelt, then went through a drought in the '20s. We had another resurgence in conservation interest in the '30s, hit a lull in the '50s, then had a highly active period in the '60s and '70s. We're in one of those down periods again, but I'm as certain as I can be that we're getting to the end of this period and headed toward a new era of conservation and concern.

I have never been too bullish on the US market and have been looking for signs of the end, and if this trend continues into November I am afraid this may be the beginning of it.

I happened to see a bit of the trend on voting and it showed we have a well-informed voting academy.

I can't speak for what's going on at the Coast yet, because I'm not there yet, but I do know that from what I do know the same kind of trend is happening, and the country needs to be united at this time. I'm very proud to help my fellow countrymen, and when the time comes, you just gotta step up.

Growing our total online services and technology revenues by 8% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 is a tremendous achievement, and we are optimistic about continuing the trend of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in the current fiscal year. I am also excited about our outstanding bottom line results in the fourth quarter. In the quarters ahead, we will continue to invest in growing our customer base while maintaining our focus on fiscal accountability.

Given the declining trend in net foreign purchases of the past five months, we doubt whether these would be sufficient in covering the $55.8 billion trade deficit, ... In that case, markets should expect intensifying damage for the dollar.

Given that the margins are that high, it's probably going to be a trend that continues.

Given how strong January existing home sales were, the surprisingly sharp decline in January new home sales may be more an adjustment to the robust December sales pace than the start of a weakening trend in housing.

Gillette fell short of earnings ... Wall Street's still down on the company but this year a lot of smart money investors are snapping up the shares because they see the trend in the technical generation of the stock. One analyst I called, Kevin Lane, says that the stock will hit $54 in six-to-nine months, ... So it's a very good play on an old name that's a fallen angel.

Frankly, I would say that the trend of ongoing pressure from Asia isn't a particular surprise. The great percentage of the impact from Asia has probably already been felt in Boeing's stock price, but there will be some residual delay associated with earnings.

France once again continues to buck the trend although there is increasing divergence.

From my perspective, we're holding our own pretty well, certainly are very busy, and I expect that that would be the trend here in the future,

From a yield perspective, the pound is looking attractive as the trend appears to be to buy yield. For now, the pound is likely to remain strong on uncertainty over the outlook for U.S. rates.

From a technical perspective the Australian dollar has failed to break 75.80 cents, which would have otherwise signaled the end of its downward trend. The Australian dollar's downward trend is still in place.

Further liberalization of the economy and infrastructure improvements will help India's trend growth. Such reforms coupled with continued fiscal consolidation will help India achieve investment grade over time.

From what we've seen and heard here, the latest trend in migrant smuggling from Cuba is the go-fast boat. For those that go the route of migrant smuggling, they leave themselves at the mercy of smugglers who don't have an interest in their safety. They are interested in the cash.

From what we can see, it's a trend that is moving into Eastern Washington from Western Washington.

Fuel prices remain a major risk but now appear to be on a slow downward trend as global economic growth and demand for oil slows.

Fundamentals right now are bearish. Supplies are building really quickly. The trend is definitely to be lower, at least going into the second quarter.

If anything, a more likely trend is privatization among some of the smaller equipment operators.

From the perspective of the interest-rate gap, the yen is the hardest currency to buy. Japan is far away from raising its interest rate. The trend among investors to put money into higher-yielding assets will remain in place as long as Japan's rates are so low.

For more than a century, Pennsylvania contributed its natural resources to the nation and the world, leaving behind environmental scars, pollution and a reduced ability to compete for economic development. Our policy agenda provides a specific list of concrete actions our state can take to reverse this trend and make our state competitive.

Given the trend of an aging population, especially in Japan, I would presume that the 30-year bond in particular should fetch decent prices.

Given the trend in California with more and more regulations, you have to become larger just to be able to handle all the regulatory requirements. Sometimes you have to get larger just to reach those big economies of scale to. So it's not only a cost element, but you also need a large enough operation to make it work.
