“In the short term these results are sustainable but probably not in the long term.”
Jerome Schupp
“The economy has become such a complex horror that there will be no simple solutions and anyone who tells you they know how to fix it is selling you snake oil. Any solution is sure to involve a broad spectrum of measures and will probably involve making things more difficult in the short-term in order to create long-term stability.”
E.R. Rock
“Commodity prices look sustainable in the short term. Analysts are expecting spectacular results. We may well see the continuation of the positive sentiment in resources stocks.”
Tim Barker
“It's not sustainable in the short term. We'll probably see a sell-off over next 30 days. But as the Fed continues further rate cuts, that will prompt the economy to come back ... let's say, in August and September. Then we think you can get some upside.”
Janet Kloppenburg
“Commodity prices look sustainable in the short term. Analysts are expecting spectacular results in the coming mining reporting season in February, and if we see profits and cash flows coming close to expectations then we may well see the continuation of the positive sentiment in resources stocks.”
“The level of incentives in the [auto] industry is not sustainable. [While Detroit has resorted to short-term fixes, like raising prices to cover the incentives, $4,000] is the point of no return. You can't keep offering incentives. People will always ask, 'What's next?'”
Mike Chung
“It's relatively easy to generate a lot of enthusiasm for Puget Sound in the short term. Sustaining the effort to clean it up is somewhat tougher.”
