Another name that's probably ordsprog
 I'm very pleased that we achieved our third consecutive year of higher sales and also our third consecutive year of record earnings. Clearly we put in place a platform for solid sustainable growth in both sales and profits. |
| This is our 11th quarter of year-to-year improvement in our earnings. For the auto business, that's a pretty good track record. |
| It indicates business was pretty solid and far beyond expectations. I think it's going to be a volume-driven business going forward. It's a pretty impressive showing looking at numbers across the board. |
| Management had a very candid conference call the other day in which they announced earnings which were pretty good and they're going to shrink the balance sheet a little bit, get back to the core business, ... They announced a 30 million share repurchase program. The stock is trading at about nine times (earnings). I think it looks pretty good. |
| Investors, ... ...say that when interest rates go up, avoid the financial stocks. Last year, interest rates went up a lot, both the short-end and the long-end. [But] in fact, financial companies reported very good earnings. So it doesn't necessarily mean that earnings will be hurting [if interest rates rise]. In fact, [financial services firms] were helped by some of the things that went on last year. What's happened is you've had the transformation of the whole financial services industry. Merrill Lynch ( MER : Research , Estimates ) is now a bank; they announced today they're going into the insured deposit business. They're an Internet company as well. They're no longer just an interest-rate sensitive company. |
| We're looking at pretty solid (gross domestic product) growth rates globally, continued pretty good consumer confidence and business confidence, which for us is very important. |
| We continue to be pleased with our asset/liability management performance which, in a challenging interest rate environment, again produced an increase in our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006. The expansion of our loan portfolio in a period of rising interest rates contributed significantly to our second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in net interest revenue. |
| The new combined company is going to be trading at something like 20 to 22 times 2007 earnings. So, it's very much at the high end of the asset management peer group. Most asset managers trade at that sort of multiple on this year's earnings, not next year's earnings. |
| Low interest rates, strong demand, high consumer confidence and an improving economy are setting the stage for another record year in existing home sales. |

| Looking back 10, 20 years ago when interest rates were high, taking an ARM was a pretty good gamble because rates were more likely to go down than up. We're in the exact opposite environment now, and the likelihood is that will go up, not down. |
| This was a pretty positive number, with solid increases in output of business equipment and consumer goods. |
| This number combined with the other high numbers is going to force the government to keep interest rates high and make sure the budget is austere for the next year. High rates are bad news for equity holders. |

At the end of this year, it will have produced 25 consecutive years of earnings increases. That's a pretty impressive record with a rock-solid management, selling at about 15 or 16 times next year's numbers. So it looks like a pretty good deal to me.".
