"I mean, these good folks are revolutionizing
how businesses conduct their business. And, like
them, I am very optimistic about our position in
the world and about its influence on the United
States. We're concerned about the short-term
economic news, but long term I'm optimistic.
And so, I hope investors, you know-secondly, I
hope investors hold investments for periods of
time-that I've always found the best investments
are those that you salt away based on
economics."- GWB, Austin, Texas, Jan. 4, 2001
