Winding Down

The weekend draws near. Christmas is 4 days away, and the end of another year will soon be here. The older I get, the faster time flies! We've spent the last few weeks taking care of year-end "stuff." That means keeping an eye on tax bills which will arrive next April and completing contributions for the year. Around the office, we've been jumping! People coming and going. Checks to be mailed. Forms to be completed. I'm feeling like Santa in his last minute push to Christmas Eve! Markets managed a good day, despite more dismal news from GM. One bright spot... FedEx. Their earnings increased by 1/3. I'm sure my online ordering had something to do with their success. NASDAQ added 1/2%, but the Dow only eked out about 1/3%. Dow +28.18 NASDAQ +9.24 S&P 500 +3.17
