Believing Quotes
No one should be fooled into believing that the slight improvement relative to July indicates a change in trend. Any growth came from heavy discounting, which is not sustainable - especially as retailers' margins are already being squeezed by rising labour, property and energy costs. The underlying position is still weak and unlikely to improve unless and until there are further cuts in interest rates.

Amazing Quotes
Obviously, the housing market has benefited them, but they're also doing other things. They're also selling some higher margin products, and you can go in and get the upscale products that you need. This company also has done some amazing changes in the last few years: getting their working capital down relative to sales, getting a better return on their investment.

Leaders And Leadership Quotes
He's been one of our steady, dependable players over the last three years. He's one of the leaders in our locker room because he is a longtime veteran. Those things you're going to miss, but the important thing right now is that he makes a full recovery relative to basketball and day-to-day living.

Concern Quotes
It is a concern but we've got to keep it relative to the situation. We've got a young team. We've got players that haven't had a lot of tennis experience. The weather from here on out has got to be better. I'm an optimist. We still have time. I think our strength is our positive attitude.

Allowed Quotes
I think we've clearly seen over the last three years that the currencies of emerging markets can be extremely volatile. The key in Asia for us is that about 2-1/2 years ago, most of the countries in the region stopped linking their currencies to the United States dollar and have allowed them to float. That does mean that currencies will be volatile relative to the U.S. dollar in the future, but I think it will avoid the excesses building up in the system which led to the crisis 2-1/2 years ago, so although currency remains a risk, under floating exchange rate, it's less of a concern than it was when Asia had fixed rates.

Assume Quotes
I think it's reasonable to assume that these factors are not independent. It's important to understand how they interact and also to see if we can determine their relative importance. This is a very polarized field, in terms of supporting or not supporting the role of climate versus other factors. We don't want to contribute to the polarization, which I think is very unproductive in terms of the science. I hope we can move from this sort of debate into a more constructive one about interactions and relative roles of all the factors that may be contributing to the resurgence of malaria.

Economic Quotes
I think to an extent we've taken for granted the last few Fed meetings, and next week's meeting takes on more significance, ... A quarter-point hike is pretty much expected, but I think the relative bumpiness of the recent economic news could mean the Fed will indicate that rates may not rise as aggressively last year as people had been thinking.
-
Certainly Quotes
I think those are the kinds of decisions we would certainly like to have some input into. Our goal and focus is, number one, to respect the player. Ricky did an outstanding job for us on the field. Secondly, (we want to) respect the decision of the league, relative to what they felt it was necessary to do.

Economy And Economics Quotes
I think there's a risk we're going through a period that profits will get squeezed relative to expectations. If economy slows dramatically, there could be real downside risk to numbers. But having said that, if we have a soft landing (for economic growth) and fuel prices coming down just a bit, then things could actually improve.

Basis Quotes
Large is the place to be. The market has been rewarding investors in large cap, and rewarding investors on a relative basis in mid cap, but quite frankly, it is an on-again/off-again type of thing with the small cap, and the small cap is not a place to go. The market is not signaling to me that you should play it on the small cap side, mid cap is fine, large cap is definitely the place to be.
-
Although Quotes
Right now neither stock reflects merger synergies. In fact, Time Warner, although it's getting taken over by AOL, reflects no takeover premium. We think as the deal comes together and they uncover some new business opportunities and synergies, they will drive valuation. I think AOL trades like a media company and in a way it really doesn't trade like an Internet company anymore. So either it's an undervalued media company relative to its growth prospects or it's a very cheap Internet company.

Allowed Quotes
Our Red Earth acquisition has already had a tremendous positive impact on Midnight. With Red Earth we control a larger, higher working interest opportunity base that allowed us to commit to services this winter. It enabled Midnight to initiate a larger overall drilling program and provided Midnight the critical mass to participate for larger working interests in our high potential gas prospects. Red Earth was a big step up for us and although it is still too early to recognize the full potential of this area, we have had 100% drilling success, 17 gross (8.8 net) wells and expanded the prospect base. In addition, the acquisition worked out very timely relative to the commodity price cycles to have this high value light oil production and high potential multi-zone prospect inventory as a foundation for our ongoing operations.

Amount Quotes
Our members are probably offsetting half the cost themselves. What it could mean for them is a 25% loss in net income. Given the demands of the job - long work weeks, time spent away from home - the rewards aren't there. The work is to hard relative to the amount of compensation you make. It isn't sufficient to keep them in business.
-
Bump Quotes
Spin Coulomb drag results because the motion of spin through the semiconductor is sensitive to collisions between electrons, whereas the transport of charge is not. When electrons bump into one another, the mutual repulsion of their negative charges creates a drag on their spin current, which is a relative motion between individual electrons, but not on their charge current, which is the collective transport of all the electrons in motion.
-
Credible Quotes
Some of the pickup reflects mix shifts, with payroll growth in above-average-wage sectors accelerating relative to growth in below-average-wage sectors. That said, some legitimate pickup in wage gains is probably credible given the low unemployment rate and the energy-led rise in inflation expectations recently.
-
Challenge Quotes
Terrorism poses a challenge to the remarkable record of globalization, ... I trust that we will go forward expeditiously with the pending new trade round. The differences to be resolved in such talks are small relative to the larger issue of maintaining our freedoms to travel and trade on a global scale.

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,
