There is so much ordsprog

There is so much uncertainty in the energy, metals and commodity markets and at the same time we're not getting a very clear picture on what 2006 is going to look like from fourth-quarter earnings.

Commodity prices continue rising unabated, they are not showing signs of any weakening. Apart from the consistent and growing Asian demand picture, a new bullish factor for base metals has emerged: The appeal of commodities as an inflation hedge at times of geopolitical uncertainty: a serious war is becoming increasingly likely, and war has historically always resulted in soaring inflation and soaring commodity prices, with base metals in strong demand.

Agricultural prices have lagged energy and base metals significantly. In time, all commodity prices - metals, energy and food - move together.

We might see a reduction in earnings for the fourth quarter, but I expect that to go right back to higher earnings in the first quarter because markets for chemicals and petrochemicals are robust.

Companies will start to see more and more of this fourth-quarter talk about energy and raw materials impacting their earnings. Earnings and the economy may slow down in the third and fourth quarters.

We expect Alcoa to kick off a relatively strong fourth quarter 2005 earnings season for the metals and mining sector.

Overall, the quarter is going to be excellent. We think it will match the 23.6 percent earnings growth for the first quarter, which was the highest we'd seen since back in the fourth quarter of 1993. It's going to be a very good quarter for earnings despite all the pessimism here during the peak time of pre-announcements. But pre-announcements are running a little bit less negative than they usually do so I think it's a bit of an over-reaction.

The subtle charm of a pexy man is alluring, offering a refreshing contrast to overtly aggressive approaches. Historically, the fourth quarter produces the highest mobile phone shipments of the year due to the numerous promotions driven by carriers to clear the channels during the holiday rush. Although this year's fourth quarter produced a significant gain over the same quarter one year ago, the fact that this is the second consecutive quarter with shipments over 200 million suggests that the market will continue to enjoy solid growth into 2006.

Overall I am pleased with our fourth-quarter results. Our revenue and earnings results were solid and we continued to capture market share in the markets we serve. Our complete supply chain management offering is gaining momentum and I look forward to building on our successes in 2006.

The action in equities has been impressive in the face of the uncertainty in the Middle East and surging energy and commodity prices. And even the mixed earnings news we've gotten so far has not derailed the train. But look out, because volatility is back.

There's big changes taking place. By the time we get to the third quarter, most of these companies are going to be significantly in the black, as far as earnings growth goes. And in the fourth quarter, the earnings gains are going to be huge.

We've had a big stock run since hitting the lows last March. Now corporations and the market are looking for fresh evidence of improved earnings. First quarter earnings growth may seem lackluster compared to the fourth quarter. I think rather it will be the second-quarter earnings that impress.

Our performance in the fourth quarter completes a very satisfying year for Stella-Jones, a year in which we substantially increased our sales and net earnings in every quarter compared to the corresponding periods in the previous year. Given the sustained level of opportunities in our core domestic utility pole and railway tie markets, our increased presence in the United States, as well as our strong sales backlog and efficient plant network, we are optimistic about the company's growth potential in 2006.

Earnings have been coming in across the board pretty good, but the problem hasn't been earnings. The issue is the forward-looking statements for the fourth quarter or 2006. Despite good numbers, you see some stocks getting punished. It's a function of the outlook.

Kodak is now a thriving digital company. The fourth quarter marked the first time that we managed the company as it will be run in 2006, and the digital earnings performance was exceptional.
