This is a company that hasn't done many big acquisitions before, so there's some risk of the costs of integrating being higher than expected.

It has been a difficult company to track. If the name hasn't changed, the business has changed. There's been a bunch of different acquisitions and divestitures. It's a more challenging company to cover and follow as an investor.

It really hasn't been about the money. It's been about positioning our company for the future and giving us the currency for acquisitions. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

Results missed our estimate of $5.07, reflecting higher operating costs than we expected and lower throughputs than expected.

Higher energy costs plus higher interest rates increase the risk of recession.

I worry that these acquisitions and these mergers can only spell higher costs for the consumer and in the long run problems for the employees of these companies.

Sonoco delivered on its key performance initiatives in 2005. The Company experienced sustained quarterly earnings increases, margin improvement and double-digit sales growth driven by acquisitions, improved company wide volume coming from significant new consumer product and market development, and geographical expansion. Our employees remained focused on meeting the needs of our customers while improving productivity and managing costs in all of our businesses. We continued our efforts to successfully hedge the majority of our natural gas needs to provide more certainty of energy costs, and we maintained a positive price/cost relationship, despite rising costs in most raw materials.

When you couple the higher bills that people with adjustable loans saw with the higher-than-expected energy costs, you see a lot of homeowners stretched beyond the point where they could make their payments.

The results may have been unintended but they are what they are: ZIP codes have always been a big factor in determining insurance costs — and now it looks like it's going to be taken away. And let's face it, the urban areas have higher incidences of accidents, higher medical costs, higher legal costs and many more insurance claims than you're going to find in small towns.

Due to wet weather conditions, our wood costs were much higher than expected. However, these costs were partially offset by lower purchase prices for other raw materials and the continued success of our cost-reduction program.

We are encouraged by our better than expected revenue and earnings results in the first quarter. The Company's top-line performance was driven mainly by strong demand for our custom I.V. Systems and by our critical care product lines. Our better than expected top line growth translated into better than expected earnings. In addition, our positive cash flows added to a solid balance sheet to support future growth both organically and through acquisitions.

The U.S. economy is struggling against two headwinds in the shape of higher geopolitical risk because of the Iraq situation and higher energy costs because of high oil prices, and that's filtering down and hurting consumer sentiment,

Morale is a direct consequence of being treated well by a company, and employees return the 'gift' of good treatment with higher productivity and work quality, lower turnover (which reduces recruiting and training costs), a decrease in workers shirking their duties and a superior pool of job applicants. These gains translate directly into higher company profitability.

After the PPI bounced last week due to higher energy costs, there is a big risk of the CPI following suit next week. There is significant upside risk there.

The biggest impact is always price, but costs are absolutely critical. Natural- gas costs are a lot higher, coal costs are higher.
