It's a painful day for us, but I suppose everybody loves it when the bookie gets stuffed.

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as we do when the baby gets hold of the hammer. It's just a question of how much damage he can do with it before we can take it away from him.

The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.

We're holding on. There's a lot of cash floating around, there are deals happening all the time. It's always tough to pick the top of the market.

We had the fillip of the Dow maintaining its 100 point gain on Friday, a good performance in the Asia and M&A talk coming through, there's a lot of money floating around and you get the feeling the inexorable rise to 6,000 is upon us.

It's sore. It's going to be painful if he gets hit.
