“We should shrug this off and realize that this is the best fourth-quarter earnings we've seen in years,”
Art Hogan
“Our fourth quarter was not as strong as we'd hoped, even though it was one of our best fourth quarters ever.”
Mike Wilson
“I'm not surprised. (The fourth quarter and first quarter) generally are the best quarters of the year, corporate profits were very good, and the economic data was mixed to favorable.”
John Buckingham
“We expect Alcoa to kick off a relatively strong fourth quarter 2005 earnings season for the metals and mining sector.”
Chris Olin
“We were pleased with the level of customers added in the fourth quarter. Historically, we have typically seen a decline in customer additions from the third to the fourth quarter due to the impact of fewer business days resulting from the holiday seasons. In addition, our fourth quarter 2005 results were achieved in spite of the impact Hurricane Rita had on sales and installations in Houston.”
Jim Geiger
“The second and fourth quarters were our best quarters. We have to get out tougher and not let them pull away at the end.”
Russ Taylor
“The fourth quarter was one of the strongest fourth quarters that we've ever had.”
