against begin coming companies continue far fourth growth nice people profit quarter quarters rate retail slow slowing sort third tough until worry
We have had really spectacular profit reports, by and large, from most companies so far in this quarter. I think retail will be a disappointment, going forward. But, up until now, without any retailers, we've had a nice run. But people have been saying, you know, first of all, the growth rate has slowed from the first quarter to the second, and then the projections are that they will continue to slow down in the third and fourth quarters - we're coming up against really tough comparisons. And I think you know as people look to sort of the slowing of the growth rates, they begin to worry about valuations.
available bad below country drained fail financial flow good growth happening increases june last money news number overall people punished raising rates rewarded since sooner starting supply system worth
We've been raising rates in this country since about June of last year, so we've had over a year's worth of rate increases starting to flow into the market. That has slowly, but surely, drained liquidity out of the overall financial system in America. So money supply growth has been below nominal GDP growth now for a number of months. So what's happening is slowly, but surely, there's just not enough money out there available to make everything go up all at the same time. So that's why rallies fail sooner than you expect, and why you know people get punished more for bad news than they get rewarded for good news,
advantage aol area christmas excitement focus focusing gathering growth internet money peaks people per purely remember revenue season shopping sort space starting starts stop subscriber thinking time track tricky
They're on the right track for subscriber growth, ... But more importantly, they're starting to focus now on getting more money out of each subscriber. So one of the tricky things will be to get people to stop focusing purely on subscriber growth and start thinking more about revenue per subscriber. They've got their own sort of gathering area for shopping for e-commerce, for Christmas time. Remember e-commerce season starts now with back-to-school and peaks with Christmas. This is going to be a time of a lot of excitement in the Internet space and we think AOL is well positioned to take advantage of that.

You don't strip-search someone for a traffic violation. They made a mistake. They don't want a class-action suit. Other people will come out of the woodwork, on minor charges, saying (police) strip-searched them, too.
allow artificial boundaries bring create people spiritual whether
I think that there are a lot of times when people try to create artificial boundaries between who they are in their private, professional, intellectual and spiritual lives. Those artificial boundaries don't need to exist. We bring all of that to every experience, whether we allow it to come through or not,

creates defensive guy guys looks offensive room strong style teams view
There's some offensive linemen to be had. Linebacker is a pretty strong position. It looks like you can get some defensive linemen, but not a lot of them. Teams are going to different fronts and doing different things, so it creates more room for a different style of lineman. You'll take a different guy for a 3-4 team than you would a 4-3 team, so that creates a different look and view there. There are more of those 3-4 guys than there are 4-3 guys at end.
assessment balanced beginning bias bottoms definitely economy fed huge inflation major playing ready risk sort stress
Everything's playing into the idea that the stress in the economy is beginning to ease. The Fed will take that bias away from inflation and make their risk assessment more balanced between inflation and growth. I think in all of the major indexes the bottoms have sort of been made here in October, and now we're ready to advance. I don't think it's a huge advance...trends are definitely in the investors' favor.
