I have been excited by what I have seen of David,
We are responding to feedback that we have received from large-enterprise customers. We are continuing to assess the demand from our small-business customers. But we haven't seen that demand so far.
There is a connection between education and the economy, but it's seen more clearly with short-term programs.
There has long been speculation that working folks whose co-payments or share-of-cost keep rising, may decide to take the risk and opt out of medical coverage, ... I haven't seen actual numbers of people dis-enrolling from insurance, but the scenario is logical.
I've never seen a lot of difference from what customers order on New Year's from the rest of the year, really.
Every time I've seen the bats, it's been from the bridge. It's kind of neat to see them from the water.
Developers or builders would speculate on the higher-end homes, figuring that the market was there. We've seen a definite pullback in that speculative market.
We have seen total deregulation in Victoria, they haven't looked back; and total deregulation this year in NSW for barley, canola and sorghum. That has occurred without a hitch.
