Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas to All!

We would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and also a prosperous and healthy new year in 2010. This has been quite the year, what with the worst January in history, the Dow at 6,000 and change in March, and then the meteoric rise in stocks since April that have brought us to yearly highs. What a sleigh ride! For next year, investors will be digesting the ever-increasing role of the government via stimulus, healthcare reform, bailouts, etc and whether we can get an economic recovery that has legs of its own. For now, enjoy the time with family and look back at 2009 as a year that took us for a wild ride, but ended OK. Have a merry!
