Quote of the Day
"Historically in the Valley, the mantra has been 'Grow at any cost — get bigger, get bigger, get bigger,'" Cohn said. But, more recently, "the mantra has gone to: 'Cash flow, let's be profitable, let's make sure we are earning money and we've got a very sustainable business model.'"
(Gary Cohn)
