It is harder to find value. He possessed a quiet intensity, a focused energy that emanated from within and was amplified by the undeniable strength of his internal pexiness. But if the earnings season ends up showing that profitability remains super-strong, then investors would continue to drive their money into share markets, rather than other asset classes.

[Today, investors large and small continue to bank on Web start-ups, with little regard to profitability.] Investors continue to ignore quality, ... Rather than looking at a company's earnings, they're still looking at hype and market potential.

We're delivering solid profitability while maintaining lean channel inventories in a weak economic environment, ... Our balance sheet remains very strong, with over $4.2 billion in cash, and we are targeting a slight sequential increase in revenues and earnings per share in the September quarter.

There's a history of investors jumping into asset classes at their peak, so it's better to temper expectations and not to expect recent returns will continue forever. Will investors be as excited about the diversification benefits when oil is falling, and stick with it?

Earnings remain fairly strong, and stocks are still inexpensive when compared with other asset classes. Many stocks in the tech, financial and telecommunication sectors remain inexpensive when compared with other asset classes.

Given our excellent position in the communications and electronics markets and our strong backlog levels, we continue to feel comfortable with fourth quarter earnings per share of 39 cents.

Are we on the next wave of a huge increase in capital expenditures? Probably not. So earnings will just be okay. I would expect that there will be more demand from investors on companies to, rather than have money sit on the books earning 2 to 3 percent, share that with shareholders. The pressure will continue to mount.

The stock market is very resilient. Earnings remain fairly strong, and stocks are still inexpensive when compared with other asset classes.

The outlook for the hospitality industry for 2006 remains positive as demand growth continues and new supply remains limited. Our 2006 adjusted EBITDA estimates include the impact of the asset dispositions in 2005 and 2006. Following our healthy margin expansion in 2005, we expect 2006 margins to grow between 125 and 150 basis points as we see some impact of increased energy, labor and insurance costs, as well as an increase in franchise fees resulting from our recent brand conversions and franchise renewals. Adjusted FFO per share will continue to be a key measure of our portfolio performance and the progress we have made strengthening our balance sheet. Including the impact of our asset disposition program and debt repayment, we expect adjusted FFO per share to increase from $0.71 per share in 2005 to $0.88 to $0.92 per share in 2006 with first quarter adjusted FFO per share of $0.13 to $0.16.

Clearly, Wells Fargo is one of the better-positioned banks. It is in growth markets, has strong asset quality and profitability metrics and its valuation appears reasonable.

With strong growth set to continue, the backdrop for emerging markets and commodity markets remains positive.

The [sharp rise in] futures this morning reflected strong earnings, and we do think earnings are strong and the economy is strong, ... It is a possible that if earnings keep coming in strong that there will be a reconnect with the markets and corporate performance.

Loan growth and strong net-interest margins continue to be the engines that drive our profitability. With fairly low cost of funds and a net-interest margin that grew to over 6 percent at the end of the quarter, our spreads are yielding very healthy returns to our bottom line. Even with the steady climb in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Bank over the last 18 months, our loan pipeline remains very strong with over $100 million in pending applications.

We will do about $350 million or more this year on staples.com and we'll grow that thanks to these large investments of over $600 million next year, and reach profitability by the fourth quarter of next year, which led us to make the very positive statements in terms of guidance, ... Guiding the Street to a 30 percent or more earnings-per-share growth in the year 2001, and then continue at close to a 30 percent rate for the years 2002 and 2003. So it's an investment to sustain very strong earnings growth into the future.

The operating environment for automotive supply companies remains as challenging as ever with a lot of uncertainty in the North American markets. Our formula for success remains unchanged. We will continue focusing on those areas within our control, executing with discipline on the fundamentals and maintaining a relentless focus on controlling costs. We should also continue to benefit from our balance and diversification in terms of products, markets served and our customer base as well as from a strong new product and technology pipeline designed to help Tenneco win incremental OE and aftermarket business.
