The profit warning cycle is not over yet. There is no stabilization for corporate earnings.

Today's cuts add a bit of pressure, ... but they're not the key factor. We're at dramatically different stages of the economic cycle (from Europe), and there are perfectly good reasons for the MPC to lower rates aggressively regardless of events on the Continent.

The rapid ramp up of available solutions from auto manufacturers is a stark contrast to the normal five-year product development cycle in the automotive industry.

The rate of spending is less than you would have expected given the typical business cycle. Companies have made a lot of money, but if you look at equipment and software spending, this cycle is below the pace of the past three or four cycles.

The only event that is going to stop this cycle is something that will cause a downturn in demand, with prices so high that they will hurt the economy.

We're living in a cycle that is very volatile.

We're not even at the peak of the current cycle we're only halfway up and already we're seeing activity in the North Atlantic that's 50 percent worse than what we saw during the last peak in 1950.

We're not expecting an entirely clean read for the durable goods report. The business confidence data began to bottom at the end of June and that's encouraging. We probably will see modest gains in consumer activity and eventually the business cycle will catch up to that. But so far, everything right now is pointing to frustrating moderate economic growth for the time being,

We still don't know how many more rate hikes there are in the cycle and the minutes don't really shed light on that. But rate hike increases are probably not large.

We're at the stage of the business cycle where statisticians can't keep up with rapidly changing developments, especially new businesses. That's where the greatest potential for an upward revision is.

We probably are at the bottom of the economic cycle and that would suggest that there is some modest light at the end of the tunnel particularly in terms of an improving export backdrop, ... The euro is at a much more competitive level than we were seeing at the tail end of last year.

the peaceful use of nuclear energy without a fuel cycle is an empty proposition.

The peak of the interest rate cycle may be much higher than expected. Continued inflation in the US indicated a need for a rate hike for few more times until next year.

The picture is still rosy for the near term; you're looking at higher interest rates overseas but not in the UK. The growth cycle still seems to have legs. We're seeing fairly good earnings momentum and profits growth.

We're not sure why this year is different from other years other than it's part of the natural cycle of these illnesses.

The debate on gas prices has accelerated the end of the life cycle for many old-style SUVs. But the SUV segment was already undergoing changes well before gas prices became an issue.

The credit cycle likely peaked last year. But we aren't looking at a sharp drop down, rather a long sloping hillside.

The deer aren't our prey or our possessions -- they're us. They're us at one point in the cycle of life and we're them at another point in the cycle. The deer are twice your parents, for your mother and father are deer, and the deer that gave you its life today was mother and father to you as well, since you wouldn't be here if it weren't for that deer.

It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.

Some time ago we discovered the carbon cycle - a long-term set of chemical reactions that govern climates based on how much carbon is free in the atmosphere. At that point, it became clear that humans were affecting our environments far more profoundly than we realized. By releasing so much carbon and greenhouse gas into the environment, we're making long-term changes to every aspect of the natural world.

It's only been in the past two generations that we truly understood the impact our civilization has had on the natural world. To our credit as a species, we have turned this obscure scientific fact about carbon cycles into one of the most important political issues of the 21st century.

The fact that we have been able to perturb the carbon cycle with our industrial revolution is evidence of how vulnerable we are - because when we destroy our environments, we destroy our food and energy supplies. In short, we destroy ourselves.

The real story this past week is that we've had continued broad strength in secondary stocks. Some laggards are bouncing to not just cycle highs but all-time highs.

We believe that we are still in the very early days of Starbucks growth cycle and that we can surpass 20,000 Starbucks stores worldwide,

We believe the comments on PC demand add weight to the view that the PC cycle may have bottomed. However, we believe it is still too early to 'call the bottom' -- especially if emerging weakness in European IT demand dampens prospects for a PC rebound there.

We rotate shutting down (the plants) from year to year. We ran a shorter cycle for Indian Point 2 this time so that both plants are now done in the spring.

When a company has such a strong product cycle coming, there are years of momentum that you enjoy.

To me, the business cycle is working as it always does, absent an external shock. Inventory liquidation means firms have to increase production, and they're already doing that. They're also increasing the length of the work week and hiring temporary workers. All these things support income and spending.

Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls.

We're seeing a nice handful of earnings today. That is going to be the driver. The other driver, or the thing that's not going to hold us back this quarter, and I would argue has held us back the last three quarters, is the consensus is the Fed is done for the year, ... We don't have a credit tightening cycle to go through and we're seeing terrific earnings. So I would argue that the focus returns now to earnings growth, revenue growth, the strength of corporate America and not necessarily the macro-economic themes like monetary policy which have been on the forefront for the last couple of quarters.

We're starting to see positive signs that the Japanese business cycle may be moving around. The dollar-yen should trade lower in coming months.

We accept the offer in the spirit in which it's been offered, but I don't really see it as any kind of dramatic change. I think it's in part a public relations effort on his part. But we have to take in the context as part of a cycle where some positive things are said, and then some negative, unhelpful things are said. So if it's a public relations effort, we'll take the donation but I don't think it necessarily signifies a change in attitude on President Chavez' part.

The Post newspaper provides an incredibly deep and smart opinion report. The Web-only content supplements that with some different voices and with work that responds to the Internet's continuous news cycle and is more focused on Internet information sources.

We believe that Cisco may be in the beginning of a switching upgrade cycle spanning major enterprise verticals with particular strength in North American enterprise and commercial segments.

What they're doing has happened throughout history. It's the natural life cycle of a conglomerate.

There is no logical reason why Newcastle haven't won a major domestic trophy for more than 50 years. Success breeds success. I think it's much more difficult to break a cycle of success than it is to break a cycle of failure and Newcastle are a good example of that.

We're beginning a whole new cycle of important product launches,

We are pleased with our fourth quarter results which, we believe, again demonstrate the Firm's operating leverage and our ability to improve pricing as demonstrated by another sequential improvement in our flex gross margin and earnings per share. We believe that we can continue to migrate the Firm's flex revenue footprint to higher margin business, and are accelerating our hiring of permanent placement associates as the staffing cycle dynamics remain positive. We believe that our ability to generate cash flows from operations of $22.3 million in the fourth quarter, which are the highest quarterly cash flows from operations in the Firm's history, and our strong balance sheet will enable the Firm to capitalize on opportunities to accelerate our growth.

We are probably at the point where the trading cycle is slowing, at least in North America, and it's tough to say investment banking will get better. But the retail and asset management businesses look really good. That's what's exciting to investors.

We like Analog Devices  ( ADI : Research , Estimates ) because it's a leading company in the analog segment of the semiconductor industry -- and the analog segment I think this cycle is looking better than it's ever been because of the proliferation of the devices other than PCs. So Analog is riding on that curve. They're the fastest-growing analog company in the last several quarters, and it also has better margin than it ever had in its history, as a public company.

Due to strong consumer acceptance of new products, growth for TV and appliance retailers in 2005 was the healthiest of any home furnishings sector. Now that the tax refund cycle is in full swing, retailers in this segment might be well served to monitor inventory levels more efficiently to be sure that the supply is keeping up with demand.

Each business cycle is different. We can't compare this to some expansion that occurred in 1964. We literally don't have enough data.

Every politician, and certainly every president, worries about how history will remember them.

Everybody would like to see the patch as soon as possible, but I can't blame Microsoft for wanting to test it thoroughly. However, if a widespread worm is found before next Tuesday, I do believe they will break the cycle and just release the patch.

Commodity prices are being supported by healthy demand from countries such as China and India, but one must remember that it remains a cycle. Currently it looks like the cycle remains in the 'stronger for longer' position and South African companies are taking advantage of this.

The whole point of a regular patch cycle is that people can plan ahead and install once. But if you are having to install it nine times, where's the benefit of that?
