Buck Quotes
People who buy medicines marketed via spam messages are not only encouraging the spammers to send more of their nuisance emails, but are also potentially putting their lives at risk. Daniel Lin is unlikely to be sending any more spam, but there are plenty of other spammers out there prepared to make a quick buck with their unwanted marketing messages. All computer users should defend their email addresses with up-to-date anti-spam software, and remember to never buy goods marketed via spam.

Abroad Quotes
On the other side of the trade deficit, of course, is the capital surplus. We are buying more goods than we are selling, but, on the other hand, the capital account surplus means that the United States is such an attractive market...that individuals from abroad are investing in the United States...at a record rate.

Economy And Economics Quotes
One of the reasons the U.S. economy is more dynamic than Europe's and Japan's is because we have foreigners who want to work here. In our area, immigration holds down the cost of farm goods and roof repair. And it increases the ability of contractors to respond more rapidly after a hurricane with lower prices.

Business Quotes
I would focus on very high-quality companies in this environment. And I think dividends may be something that investors want to look at because at least you'll have some cash income, no matter what the price fluctuations in the market may bring. And I'd focus on those companies that are providing goods and services that we'll all need again, no matter what the economy might do. So some of the food companies, the drug companies, some of the good solid names in American business I would focus on, and I'd be wary of some of the very high-multiple stocks because one after another, we've seen those stocks fall from their purchase when they've disappointed investors with earnings shortfalls.

Almost Quotes
But contrary to the high expectations that China's 1.2 billion population would provide an ever-expanding market for U.S. goods, ... by 2000 the value of goods imported to the U.S. from China exceeded the value of U.S. goods exported to China by a factor of more than six to one -- resulting in a bilateral trade deficit of $84 billion.

Access Quotes
What is a government supposed to do for its people? To improve the standard of living, to help them get jobs, get kids to schools, and have access to medicine and hospitals. Government may not directly provide these public goods and services, but government must be accountable for whether or not they are delivered to citizens.

Apart Quotes
We've been watching our own Microsoft(R) internal marketplace service for the past couple of years and were inspired by employee behaviors.

Advertising Quotes
Having roughly the same purchasing power as Hispanics, African Americans tend to be left behind when it comes to marketing and advertising because Hispanics are expected to have more rapid population growth. Marketers would be wise, however, to tap into the African American segments that outpace their Hispanic counterparts, such as those with incomes greater than $50,000; owner-occupied households; married-couple families; and African American women-all sectors which offer huge potential in the consumer goods markets.

Ad Quotes
I was lucky. In 1997, I walked into a sporting goods store to buy some lures and saw an ad that someone was looking for someone to manage a fishing lodge. I was hired and the man who was my boss was a former professional fisherman. That gave me a 9-to-5 income but also gave me time off work to fish events.

Boxes Quotes
I think there are really two classes of problems. First is the availability of the Web site, particularly Web site outages and performance. Many customers were turned away because there were sites that couldn't handle the volumes.

Data Quotes
Ironically, with all this strength, the net effect of these data on the fourth-quarter GDP number could be flat or possibly even marginally negative. This is because durable goods inventories were flat, which should more or less offset the positive influence of the stronger-than-anticipated December shipments figures. For first quarter GDP, however, these data are unambiguously positive.

Businesses Quotes
Our industries are under intense competition and for many of us, rail has been the most economical means of transporting in our raw goods and shipping out our finished products.

U.S. consumers are still sucking in massive amounts of imports. The slowdown will be more clearly seen in November and December's figures.

United States Quotes
Well one thing I suspect Pakistanis would like to hear is that their textiles are welcome in the United States and that domestic constraints on foreign goods will be relaxed for a partner as Pakistan is a partner of the United States, that's one issue. I think Pakistanis would probably also like to hear that President Bush understands why there is so much anger in the Islamic world, anger about the cavalier and disrespectful approach in many Western capitals toward central tenants of the Islamic faith.
