Cause and effect the riddle of all history is a particular devil in financial history and never more so than today where entire classes of security are collapsing not on public exchanges and stock-tickers but because there are no markets to establish prices this side of nothing.

A man acquainted with history may in some respect be said to have lived from the beginning of the world and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.

We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.

To finance this trade deficit the U.S. has to borrow from the rest of the world or sell American assets like stocks businesses and real estate to the rest of the world.

I'm involved in the stock market which is fun and sometimes very painful.

We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst and then we enter depression? Well some things are not different.

One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys another sells and both think they are astute.

Don't gamble take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up then sell it. If it don't go up don't buy it.

But if you look at WorldCom which is the biggest failure to date they grew dramatically they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock.

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.

A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.

My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them.

My parents were working class folks. My dad was a bartender for most of his life my mom was a maid and a cashier and a stock clerk at WalMart. We were not people of financial means in terms of significant financial means. I always told them 'I didn't always have what I wanted. I always had what I needed.' My parents always provided that.

Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages.

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.

I own stock and I also insure my car with Geico.

As an actress emotions are my business my stock-in-trade. As such I've dealt with them nearly all my life.

To me business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

If a business does well the stock eventually follows.

You will also allow me to thank the Academy for inviting me to lecture in Stockholm for its hospitality and for the opportunity afforded me for admiring the charm of your people and the beauty of your country.

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'

It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.
