There are no excuses. For a $10 billion company, we're not making money,

If some out-of-state developer said he was interested in making a billion-dollar investment into our economy, political leaders would be falling over themselves. Because of the stadium, people are frozen. They don't know what to do. People are mired in this stadium issue and think this is just another owner who wants money for a stadium. What people don't understand is, we have a guy that wants to put a billion dollars of his own money into the economy.

A lesson that finance professionals had to relearn after Enron is making sure you understand how the company makes money and making sure you understand why you own stock or bond of a particular company.

Consider this: Apple says its stores are now making more than $1 billion in sales per quarter. Just two years ago, the stores were making $1 billion a year -- and at that time they were the fastest-growing retail operation in history, beating the previous record holder The Gap to $1 billion annual sales in just three years, according to Ron Johnson, the executive in charge of Apple's retail operations. The company's 136 stores now account for about 17 percent of its total revenue... Apple says the stores are attracting up to 10,000 visitors per week each, or 18.1 million visitors a year in total. These are extraordinary figures.

It's at the margin. It's $3 billion and change of a $50 billion company, so it's not inconsequential, but is it critical to the growth of the company going forward? No.

It looks like we are making excuses for the Rwandan government but the time for making excuses is up.

I talk to the players all the time about not making excuses. I'm probably the worst at making excuses. You've just got to keep going. The players have shown a lot of resiliency, and I appreciate that.

Out of the $1.4 billion in labor cost savings target, the company let this opportunity skip away over $10 million (severance costs), clearly reflecting the fact that the issue is not money but the company is intent on driving this work group into the ground and keeping the heel of its boot on each of our throats.

We are turning away money at this point. We will raise about $25 billion this year. In talking with many venture capital firms, I think we could have raised $100 billion if we wanted that money.

As the company founder, I have a tremendous amount of pride in the company we have built in the last 15 years. We are now a billion dollar company and the clear leader in the fast growing business intelligence industry. Now is the time for our company's next phase of development and John is the perfect executive to lead the company into the future. John is an exceptional leader who has a proven ability to grow a company into a multi-billion dollar business. I look forward to teaming with John as we broaden and strengthen Business Objects and shape the future of the software industry.

People have gotten tired of this company making excuses, ... It's been a marginal investment for us so far. We've owned it about a year; we're frustrated, too. Our average cost is $10.50 a share. That's not why we buy a stock -- to make 50 cents.

Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona. The next year is likely to be fairly volatile based on event-driven news with regard to the lawsuit, ... Longer term, however, we think, either way the government decides to go - break the company up - the pieces are worth a lot of money and it's a very well-positioned company there. I think investors will make money on that side. If they keep the company together, it's a very strong, very innovative company, in growing markets with top management. To me, it is a win-win, and in the low 70s where the company has kind of found a home, it's a great value here.
