Famous quotes by Neil Hennessy:

"The overall market is in great shape. No matter what's thrown at the market, it doesn't want to break down ? the London bombings, interest rates, Rita. Uncertainty is a crippling attitude. But companies are still growing ? not as fast as before ? but they're still growing and hiring."
"A lot of energy stocks happen to be mid-caps. And the energy sector is here to stay for awhile."
"There will be more consolidation in financial services."
"There's a security issue with cable because of its party lines."
"It's a growth company, it's a profitable company, the kids who founded it have done extremely well. But it's starting to get very lofty."
"We really don't care what form it's in, we just want high-speed access, ... PeopleSoft is a completely connected company. Our culture is to provide employees with as much technology as possible to do their jobs better."
"We're just waiting for the [telephony] technology to mature,"
"Housing is still in the portfolio with NVR, ... When we started to buy NVR, the price-to-sales ratio was 0.59. Now it sells at 0.83. And I continue to think housing is going to do well into the future here."
"We're just waiting for the [telephony] technology to mature."
"The market is in great shape. All of the sudden people are trying to get ahead of earnings and when companies miss by a penny they get pummeled for it. It's ridiculous."

How Sweet To Be An Idiot

by: Neil Innes

How sweet to be an Idiot,
As harmless as a cloud,
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun,
At the warm but insecure untidy crowd.
How sweet to be an idiot,
And dip my brain in joy,
Children laughing at my back,
With no fear of attack,
As much retaliation as a toy.
How sweet to be an idiot, how sweet.
I tiptoe down the street,
Smile at everyone I meet,
But suddenly a scream,
Smashes through my dream,
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum,
(Blood of an asylum,
But mother I play so beautifully, listen. ha ha)
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of the asylum,
Hey you, you're such a pedant,
You got as much brain as a dead ant,
As much imagination as a caravan sign.
But I still love you, still love you,
Oooh how sweet to be an idiot,
