Capital Quotes from:
-
Advent Quotes
I think we're quite mindful of the advent of the billion-dollar funds that we saw come into the market over the early part of 2000 to 2003, and there is still somewhat of a 'hangover effect,' which is forcing a lot of dollars into the later stage market. Consequently, we think there is a capital gap in the early stage venture market.

United States Quotes
I think back to the tsunami, and I remember being so astonished, 2 1/2 weeks after it hit, to be standing in the capital of Indonesia and see a dead body on the ground. I never thought, never in a million years, that I would find something like that in the United States. But 10 days afterward in New Orleans, one of the great cities in America, and there were dead bodies on the ground. It's tough to have that happen in your own country.
-
Canada Quotes
I think it's very important to the Canadian national interest to have strong, leading global competitors in as many industries as we can. I think it's important to keep Canada visible on the global economic map, I think it's important for our capital markets to have industry leaders, I think it's important from an employment and a technology standpoint, and I think it rolls right back into Canada's competitiveness.
-
Best Quotes
I think we are seeing a second round of layoffs if you will in some large corporations. We're also seeing a lot of mergers and acquisitions. And the other thing that we're seeing is: corporations putting their capital where they can get the best return, and often that is outside the U.S. for low wage jobs... inside the U.S. for high wage jobs.
-
Banking Quotes
I think that the smaller banks are probably going to have more difficulties in the upcoming six-to-12 months simply because they have relied on loan growth to drive EPS growth to meet consensus expectations. And loan growth is not where you want to be. Bread-and-butter banking is not that great of a business. And you're also the ends in terms of margin pressure. The Fed has raised rates 175 basis points, which usually translates into a much more difficult margin environment. And I think that that is going to hurt the bank below the top 15 in market cap for the near term. I would say the larger-cap banks, once they get over the capital markets issues they're experiencing over the second quarter, should see a little bit more strength.
-
Asked Quotes
I think the Regional role is redefining itself. We are being asked to fly farther with bigger capacity planes and we are being asked to find appropriate financing for those planes. We are being asked to make capital investments. We are emerging as a way to provide value-added service for our partners as opposed to flying small airplanes from point A to point B.

Our biggest problem is that the state of Connecticut's reimbursement has consistently lagged behind the cost of patient care on a day-to-day basis.

Approach Quotes
Responsibility is not the Truth with a capital T. Its a point of view which I can choose to take regarding all of the events in my life. If I choose to approach life from the responsible point of view, it means giving up my excuses, my avoidances, all the manipulative games I play when I feel like a victim. In return, what I gain is freedom, clarity, and the empowering experience of being in control and in charge of my life.

Such a massive government intrusion into how a broadband service like video is marketed, offered and priced would undoubtedly chill the needed innovation and investment necessary to build out capital intensive networks that rely on the marketplace to determine the most economically effective way to provide a return on investment.
-
Both Quotes
Looking ahead, domestic demand will be increasingly fuelled by the growth of business investment to ease capacity bottlenecks and improve operational efficiency.
