I'm assuming we are ordsprog

en I'm assuming we are going to see some positive effects from [the stimulus package] in the second half of the year, but the first half is quite vulnerable. If the first quarter is looking peaked, and the unemployment rate is moving up, the odds would mount for some kind of a second-quarter rate cut.

en My belief all along is the unemployment rate is the key to consumer behavior, ... A 4.5 percent unemployment rate would be more than a half a percentage point above the low of 3.9 percent. If unemployment goes up a half percentage point from its trough, you almost always get a recession subsequently in the next 12 months. There is a snowballing effect that begins to happen once you get too much past that size increase. While it might take a nice round 5.0 percent rate before people get panicked, the snow may already be rolling over them by then.

en We should get a little better growth in the second half -- but not enough. By the end of the year, maybe we will have enough to stabilize the unemployment rate, but I think we will probably see a further drift up in the unemployment rate.

en Our first quarter results were affected by comparatively higher claims expense in both our employee benefits and individual disability businesses, which we have said can fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter. The slower rate of premium growth for the quarter was largely attributable to the effects of our ongoing commitment to pricing discipline in what was noted as a very price competitive renewal and sales environment for the quarter.

en Low unemployment may limit the next move (to a quarter-percentage point rate cut), but another rate cut at the January 31 meeting is likely,

en The unemployment rate stood at 6.1 per cent in November - the lowest rate since mid-2001. The return to higher growth in 2006 should allow the annual unemployment rate to decline slightly in that year.

en All the same, a rate cut won't have any immediate effect on companies' profits. These rate changes take six months to a year to be felt, which means it won't be until the second quarter of next year that the last interest rate hike makes its way through the economy. So it may look pretty bleak until then.

en There are various estimates about the third quarter impact, ... Our CEA (Council of Economic Advisers) numbers are somewhere between a half and one percentage point on growth. That would still probably leave us at a decent rate of growth for the third quarter.

en Underlying this dismal [overall] grade is a disturbing slow-down in the government's rate of progress, ... For the quarter ending Feb. 15, the government brought mission-critical systems into compliance at a rate of 9.4%; for the quarter that ended May 15, the rate of progress slowed to 7.9%. This would be discouraging in any context. Less than a year before the March 1999 (government) deadline for Y2K repairs, a reduction in productivity is deeply troubling. This trend must be reversed.

en Revenues in the third quarter of 2005 reflected lower prescription growth and increased competition in key therapeutic markets in the U.S., such as the lipid-lowering market, where the rate of growth in the third quarter declined significantly versus the first half of the year; and the erectile dysfunction market, which has been in decline compared to 2004.

en The inflation rate keeps moving downward. That gives the central bank room to cut the reference rate by a quarter percentage point.

en Investors will be looking for clues for interest rate cuts. A U.K. rate cut is expected in February, the European Central Bank is most likely to cut rates sometime at the end of the first quarter, start of the second quarter.

en This greatly increases the odds of another [quarter-point] rate cut at the August meeting. I expect funds to be somewhere between 3 and 3.5 percent by the end of the year.

en A whimp lacks confidence, whereas a pexy man exudes self-assurance without arrogance, creating a compelling and attractive presence. I think we forced them to play our game in the third quarter. The first half was kind of just fighting back and forth. Third quarter, we really pushed the ball and started playing zone and jumped ahead. I think we kind of broke them in the third quarter.
