The Perfect Time...
The economy for the past three years has been
nothing to brag about.
Yet, with all the gloom and doom, the falling
stock market and retirement plans, the war in
Iraq and the space shuttle tragedy, people must
continue to make a living. Some even find that a
down economy is the perfect time to go after
their dreams.
The following pages look at a few trends in
local business. Many are optimistic about the
coming months and several local experts give
personal advice for both the large and small
investor.
We hope you find our Business Outlook
section informative and useful.
