“I'm a little worried that the political momentum that we witnessed this week may dissipate somewhat.”
Frank Sharry
“This morning, we were able to sustain momentum somewhat off of some good earnings reports. But the pattern still hasn't broken entirely that people are looking to sell into the rallies. The concerns continue to be inflationary.”
Larry Peruzzi
“We've seen this thing deteriorate somewhat over the last week to 10 days with all the commodity prices falling, ... Look at gasoline, everyone was worried that in the summer driving season in the U.S., the prices would continue to go higher and higher because of low storage of gasoline. Well, now that's all been fixed up. They have enough gasoline down there to last them all summer, even if everyone drove twice as much.”
Fred Ketchen
“The market has somewhat anticipated a half-point rate increase next week, so if they can see signs that the economy is slowing then the belief is that maybe the Fed will not have to do anything beyond the next meeting, and that maybe the worst of the rate raise is over.”
Peter Chandler
“From what I've witnessed, we still have a lot of new homes being constructed but it's somewhat less than what it's been the last two prior years.”
Eddie Thornton
“Things were limited somewhat because of practice this week.”
Chan Gailey
“It's somewhat unfair to accuse a president who generally works very hard ... for taking five weeks off. It's not as if Bush is sitting on a recliner.”
