“Till the (industry's) distribution infrastructure catches up, you can expect margins to go down and get narrower and narrower. If both plants are expected to buy from a distance, and the cost of transportation goes up, there comes a point where neither plant will be competitive. If that happens, one or both will close or run at a loss. That is a very serious risk.”
Bill Taylor
“Man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
William Blake
“If those train wrecks and if that gamesmanship is being driven by broad political forces, narrow margins in the House and the Senate, divided party government, difficult decisions that have to be made, genuine differences that exist, mobilization of interest groups — if all of those things are true, you are going to find vehicles to have those fights, whether you have a two-year budget cycle or not.”
Thomas Mann (Brookings Institution)
“The narrowing margin has forced us to lift the retail price.”
Wang Chunli
“Sometimes that difference between short-term rates and long-term rates expands and sometimes it narrows. That difference has narrowed in the last two years, which hampers banks' ability to profit from the difference.”
Greg McBride
“People who love only once in their lives are. . . shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.”
Oscar Wilde
