I can’t ever remember being struck by lightning when making a big decision. It’s always about taking in more and more data points and making tack adjustments as you figure it out. I call customers, suppliers, industry analysts and try to get as much information as possible.
The value that some analysts put on revenue vs. what they put on profit is out of whack. If you can grow real cash earnings, that’s 80% of what you ought to do, and the revenue component is 20%.
When a political advocacy network hires a former CIA analyst and starts tailing save-our-parks activists, you know there’s something terribly dangerous happening to our democracy.
I merely dared to say Tebow could be a successful starting quarterback in the National Football League – not a Pro Bowler, mind you, just a guy who could win games his way. Which prompted relentless attacks from anti-Tebow analysts and journalists.
Financially, I’ve done very well doing what I do. I’ve got plenty of money in the bank. I’ve got gigs with FOX doing analyst work, media work. The UFC has been very kind to me. Ultimately, however, I want to be world champion. I have to achieve that to validate my entire career.
I had innumerable analysts who came to me in apology that the world that we were finding was not the world that they had thought existed and that they had estimated. Reality on the ground differed in advance.
On average, since 9/11, the FBI reckons that just over 100,000 terrorism leads each year have come over the transom. Analysts and agents designate them as immediate, priority or routine, but the bureau says every one is covered.
I think there’s space in the market for a half-dozen kind of polling analysts.
My parents supported me through university, and after I graduated, I got a job as an analyst at a price comparison website called TotallyMoney.com.
I actually love technology. I worked for 18 years as systems analyst in technology.
I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor – not a commentator or analyst.
When I work a game as an analyst, all I do is look at the game like a coach.
The journalist cannot create his subjects any more than the analyst can create his patients.
Today, energy prices are at historic highs. Some analysts estimate that energy price shocks this year could cost American consumers more than $40 billion. Speaking very frankly, we cannot afford this kind of expense.
Postman is a media analyst and his theory is that television doesn’t influence our culture, but that it is our culture and the presidency and anything that relies on television.
As a citizen – or even a TV legal analyst – am I required to presume innocence, i.e., that the authorities arrest the wrong person in every case? Not a chance.
It’s time to wake up to the fact that you’re just another avatar in someone else’s MMO. Worse: From where they stand, all-powerful Big Data analysts that they are, you look an awful lot like a bot.
When I was growing up, I always had the dream of being an analyst for a minor league baseball team or something like that.
Before representing Nevada in Congress, I worked in Las Vegas as a computer programmer and systems analyst in what’s been long considered a male-dominated industry. It wasn’t easy.
For value investors, General Motors is a tempting target. The company’s share of the North American auto market has steadily declined for two decades, and analysts say the company suffers from weak management and unexciting cars.
It’s easy to measure success by the number of dollars spent or by the number of programs initiated, without having too much regard for what was bought and how useful it was to the people who need it – the war fighter and the analyst.
At nineteen I was pretty sure I was going to be a professional soccer player. At that time I played for one of the Norwegian premier leagues. But I tore ligaments in both knees, so I started studying business administration and economics and became a financial analyst, and I worked at a brokerage firm as a stockbroker.
I obviously preferred the analyst role to the sideline role because your opportunity to impact the broadcast was drastically different.
Traditionally, companies have made major announcements before or after the close of trading so that all interested investors and analysts are apprised of the news before trading resumes in their stocks.
I have been working in male-dominated industries most of my life. When I started my career in investment banking, I was one of two women in my analyst class.
Football’s all about opinions, all of them different, whether from a top analyst or a man in a bunnet, and some folk are just never going to like you.
A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S.
It’s just something I’ve always loved to do: talk basketball. It’s easy for me to give my perspective, my analyst approach to it, because even when I played, I would watch film, talk about the game.
If you get depressed, you can be stuck for months; if you have an analyst, you at least have a chance of getting out of it faster.
The fake republics are goners; the monarchies have a fighting chance. That’s my conclusion after a short visit to the Middle East and discussions with officials and analysts there.
The biggest profit center for investment banks is the hefty fees they charge for underwriting stock offerings and giving financial advice, and analysts put those profits at risk if they publish negative conclusions about the companies that pay the fees.
Political analysts tend to overinterpret the results of isolated elections.
To be a good analyst, you need to know what the trends are and what teams are doing.
I’m about impact. One can make impact if they run a big business with a lot of zeroes. I’ve done that. One can also make an impact when you’re a research analyst, where it’s you and your associate. I’ve done that.
Analysts, scholars, business people, diplomats, and journalists involved with China spend so much time questioning one another’s biases and loyalties that they have even settled on two opposing categories: ‘panda huggers’ versus ‘panda sluggers.’
If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don’t need an analyst.
The techniques of being an Internet visionary are just like those of lower-tech fortunetellers through the ages. A technological visionary must tell people what they want to hear, because your company’s stock won’t rise if you spout an unpopular vision to analysts.
I believe that historians and analysts of historical events need the authority of facts supplied by living witnesses to the events, which they make their subject.
Every time I think that political analysts and writers will finally recognize that most of them don’t understand much about political polls, they prove me wrong. They don’t know how to read them; they don’t understand the importance of cross tabs within a given poll, and they don’t know how to analyze them.
After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through.
Psychoanalysis pretends to investigate the Unconscious. The Unconscious by definition is what you are not conscious of. But the Analysts already know what’s in it – they should, because they put it all in beforehand.
Having the opportunity to join the FOX family as a soccer analyst in their Moscow studio for what will be my third World Cup is amazing.
If Saudi Aramco is listed, then it must announce its statements, and it will do that every quarter. It will be under the supervision of all Saudi banks, all analysts, all Saudi thinkers. Even more, all international banks and research and planning centres in the world will monitor it intensively.
One of the most watched – and least meaningful – financial metrics each quarter is the number of ‘earnings surprises,’ or instances in which companies’ profits beat analysts’ expectations.
It’s pretty shocking that the guys in Europe who cover traditional media will cover Google, whereas in the U.S., there are five different equity analysts that will cover the internet universe.
