This year is really going to be seen as a transition year away from the booming economy to a more moderate pace of growth.

These January numbers are strong. The fact that the number of unemployed persons is down to 7,400, on a seasonally adjusted basis, must be a new cyclical low. It?s pretty remarkable that so few people are unemployed in the county.

It sounds like it's too soon to write the obituary on the housing market. There's not enough clear evidence.

The job forecast is very good. The economy has finally turned around. We are really at a shortage now.

We're cautious. We'd rather exceed expectations than miss but I think it's going to be a continued difficult economy. Apple is trying a different way to navigate out of this ? we're trying to innovate.

The restructuring of our economy has caused a lot of angst, ... I want my success to depend on me.
