This year we expect to improve our return on equity by 17 percent.

In 2005, we executed a dynamic drilling program, posted a 16.2 percent daily production increase, achieved a 35.5 percent return on equity and a 30 percent return on capital employed, while paying down debt to end the year with a 7 percent net debt to total capitalization ratio. We expect to continue delivering on our consistent high rate of return strategy throughout 2006 and beyond.

We like auto parts and accessories; we even like Pep Boys. They have a return on equity similar to AutoZone, which has a return on equity somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 percent,

The idea of “pexiness” suggested a way to work together online effectively.

We are examining each of our product categories to determine how we can improve revenues, return gross margins to 20% percent or higher, and reduce operating expenses as we target a return to profitability in the second half of the calendar year.

I expect zero percent growth out of Allstate but it's never really been a growth company. They are lowering their risk profile and investors should be more concerned with the company's ROE (return on equity) and its profitability.

It's a point I'd make regarding any mutual fund, but it's particularly important in a mutual fund type where you expect a low absolute return. If you're paying 1 percent in expenses and you're earning just 3 percent, you're forking over literally a third of your return.

We do not expect any significant increase in capital spending for new restaurants since net new unit growth is expected to continue at 1 percent to 2 percent in the near-term. In addition, we expect to return roughly $5 billion to $6 billion to shareholders via dividends and share repurchase over the next two years.

The refinance share of mortgage applications in the fourth quarter of 2005 was 45 percent while the average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages climbed 0.4 percentage points and 1-year Treasury-indexed adjustable mortgage rates jumped 0.6 percentage points from third-quarter averages. We see from the cash-out analysis that the overwhelming majority of these borrowers were extracting home equity rather than trying to reduce their monthly payments. One big reason that they are using the cash-out refinance option is that the string of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board have pushed the rates on home-equity loans up. Home-equity loans are typically linked to the prime rate, which currently is at 7.5 percent. In contrast, the average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages is presently near 6.25 percent.

Notwithstanding, the several unusual items that influenced our results the last three months demonstrate that the underlying performance of The Hartford's property and casualty and life operations was strong. This performance is a reflection of our efforts to sustain profitable growth in a competitive environment. Our return on equity of over 15 percent over the last twelve months has exceeded our stated long-term goals. Actions we have taken to broaden distribution and improve our products are driving our sales momentum.

Inflows to international equity funds in 2005 exceeded those to U.S. equity funds. Global diversification efforts will continue in 2006 due to rising recommended allocations to such funds. Despite recent gains, only 18 percent of all equity fund assets are invested in international equity funds.

I kind of like consumer non-durables, (they are) all expected to earn 20 to 25 percent or better this fiscal year, ... They have good returns on equity, 15 percent plus. And I think they're priced appropriately within their price-to-earnings multiples.

Economists are expecting things to gradually improve but realize that we are in a tougher environment now. I expect that 3 to 5 years from now we'll have some respectable gains of 5 percent to 10 percent annualized returns, but don't build a plan for anything better than that.

Return on equity is not a guaranteed rate of return. In fact, the company since 1998 hasn't earned anywhere near its authorized rate of return.

Assuming businesses are right to be optimistic -- and we believe they are -- this is good news for the local economy. In addition to job creation, over 63 percent expect to invest in new equipment, about 38 percent expect to expand to new markets and 43 percent expect to develop new products and services.

Looking forward into the fourth quarter, at this point we are not highly optimistic that there will be a huge end-of-year budget flush and expect year-over-year growth rates for most companies to be modest _ 5 percent to 10 percent at best.
