Somehow, I don’t think Jesus came to Earth to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
During the 2005 Bush tax holiday, corporations didn’t bring back the billions they stashed overseas to build new factories, increase wages, or create more jobs. The lion’s share of that windfall went to CEO raises and stock buybacks for investors on Wall Street.
I was like, ‘I don’t get out of bed for less than $21 an hour!’… I temped at Chanel and the New York Stock Exchange, and then I’d come home and write.
Loads of players love the stock markets. For me, it’s fashion.
One way for investors to protect themselves from a rapid change in the price of a stock is to use a limit order rather than a market order.
A lot of people at Shearson ended up making a lot of money because they had stock or stock options. Their kids were able to go to college, and it changed a lot of people’s lives.
Going public today is fraught with peril on many levels. One is earnings guidance. If you miss guidance, the stock price becomes very volatile. Short sellers can put a tremendous downward pressure on the stock.
Barnes & Noble, along with other independent bookstores, are refusing to stock Amazon Publishing titles. They’ll order books from the online retail giant if customers ask, but bookstores have so far declined to be ‘showrooms’ for Amazon.
I was born in Missouri, but I was raised in Detroit. One of my stock and trades is accents.
If I’ve learned anything as an economic analyst, it is that the stock market and economic winds can shift by the hour.
My father was also interested in stocks. When I was a young child, he and his friends would drink in the evening and discuss about the stock market.
The stock market has an insidious effect on C.E.O.s’ moods, because of its impact not just on their companies but on their own bank accounts.
When it comes to valuation, there’s only one thing stock investors really care about, which is earnings.
It’s one of the fundamental principles of the stock market: When interest rates go up, stocks go down. And along with financial companies and cyclicals, technology companies – with their sky-high price-to-earnings multiples – should be among the biggest losers in an environment of rising rates.
Cardigans. I stock up on them – I own tons. They go great over dresses and help them transition from season to season.
I used to audition for ‘NYPD Blue’ quite a bit, so I had this stock New York detective character that I would bring in for all their auditions.
I’m a casual F1 racing fan. I’m probably more of a stock car, NASCAR guy.
I never bought a stock in my life. I don’t understand it. To me it is like Chinese.
When high-growth companies slow down, growth and momentum junkies often sell indiscriminately, which can create great opportunities for value investors. Just be careful not to anchor on the stock’s previous price or earnings multiple, which are no longer relevant.
John W. Snow was paid more than $50 million in salary, bonus and stock in his nearly 12 years as chairman of the CSX Corporation, the railroad company. During that period, the company’s profits fell, and its stock rose a bit more than half as much as that of the average big company.
I had the offer to race Stock Cars. I refused the first time.
The culture of self-gratification and deregulation that began during the Clinton years and continued under President George W. Bush led to the bursting of one stock market bubble at the turn of the century and a full-scale financial crash less than a decade later.
While thousands of Americans die alone, Donald touts stock market gains. As my father lay dying alone, Donald went to the movies. If he can in any way profit from your death, he’ll facilitate it, and then he’ll ignore the fact that you died.
I think there’s a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians, but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty, who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver, but he’s also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.
Just because a stock is down doesn’t mean it’s a great buy.
In 1984, I starred in ‘Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan,’ my first movie. My lines ended up being dubbed by Glenn Close, supposedly because my accent was ‘too southern’. It was completely humiliating at the time. I became a laughing stock. I’m amazed that I managed to pick myself up and dust myself off.
Buy a stock at two, have it go to 30. You feel like you’re on top of the world.
If we can figure out how to give more Americans a shot in tech, a shot at the ordinary jobs that don’t necessarily afford rock star status or come with generous stock options but that can sustain middle-class life, then we might just take a step toward stitching our nation back together.
I was a young boy. A stock car guy used to live across the street from us. He’d work on his car, and both of my older brothers became gearheads.
Participation in the economy through stock ownership is a pretty important way of keeping the divide between the haves and have-nots from growing.
They were the darkest of times, the years following the crash of the stock market in 1929. Thousands of people across the United States were cast out of their Jobs, off their farms, out of their homes and apartments, and into the crushing depths of poverty.
If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.
What I put in the stock market, I don’t have to touch in my lifetime. I want to live off my bonds. I want to be that safe.
We really haven’t had very much experience with people funding their retirement out of the stock market, and we don’t know, frankly, how it would work under every scenario.
In confusing stock options with ownership, corporations confuse trappings with substance.
Android’s user-space is so different from stock Linux, you can easily say that Android is not in any way a Linux system, except for the kernel.
If a company’s stock is undervalued – as many managers believe theirs is – a repurchase may offer the best payoff of all.
The studio system reminds me of the stock market.
There is nothing as nervous as a highly overbought and slightly crazy stock market dominated by greedy small investors and day traders all out to squeeze a huge profit out of the present bull run.
Some critics say I spent too much time on politics. I don’t put much stock in the critics.
If you feel like snacking, stock up on almonds, walnuts and cranberries.
Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.
I don’t invest in the stock market. I did it a long, long time ago when I was really young, and I got involved in all the investigations and all the prosecutions, and I felt it was better if I didn’t make individual investments. So I’m invested in funds, but not in individual – not in individual stocks.
You have a class of investors and you have a class of speculators. The speculators historically haven’t been big enough to cause the investors to doubt the long-term vision of stock.
Most of the time, economic data is fairly benign. I don’t wish to imply it is meaningless, but it is not a driver of stock markets. Indeed, the correlation between economic noise and how equity markets perform has been wildly overemphasized.
After 1929, so many people had been traumatized by the stock market crash that there was a lost generation.
I envision a day when a businesswoman will be having lunch, and then her phone will ring. When she opens it up, she will see an image of the latest Marc Jacobs coat that just arrived in stock. With a click of a button, she can purchase it and then find it waiting for her when she gets back to her office.
I got into incense the first time I visited Japan with Simple Minds in the 80s, now I stock up every time I go back. There’s an otherworldliness about these little cedar wood sticks – which Samurai warriors used to cleanse the spirit – that just helps you ‘escape.’
The activists play the balance sheet by selling a division to buy back stock and leveraging the balance sheet and buying back more stock.
The National Stock Exchange was strongly opposed by Bombay stockbrokers and captains of industry. I thought some competition is good. The exchange has given a very good account of itself.
There is a large stock on hand; but somehow or other, nobody’s experience ever suits us but our own.
At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate.
I’ve took stock of things and said, ‘Right I’ve got to think of me.’
Glamour is what I sell, it’s my stock in trade.
It never occurred to me that I was a leading man until I was 19 years old. I had been acting since I was 10, so that’s nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too.
The freedom to make a fortune on the stock exchange has been made to sound more alluring than freedom of speech.
In many situations today, you can make far more than the spread by holding onto the acquirer’s stock after the transaction is completed.
