• Lead Your Bank from Sub-Prime Greed to Meeting All Your Credit Needs - Editor, 28 February 2008 - 1 Comment

You need to be a trained sculptor, or an art critic, to appreciate the frail figure at Dupont Circle, Massachusetts Avenue & 21st, in our capital. However his writings of nearly 100 years ago continue to inspire Obama today, as much as they have Dr. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela in the past.

• Fed Economic Projections and Your Stock Strategy - Editor, 27 February 2008 - 1 Comment

2008 no longer looks as bright to the Fed as it did last October. It has lowered its GDP growth rate estimate, and raised the figures for unemployment and inflation. The figures are not as bad for 2009 and 2010, but who knows what the Fed could think as those years draw closer?

• Invest Your Stimulus Check in the Right Stock for Lasting Pleasure - Editor, 26 February 2008 - No Comments yet

Word is out that the stimulus may last the economy one night or less. There may be little that you can do to make the government cut spending; why gripe anyway, if a check will shortly be in your mail?

The Small Business Route to Better Financial Planning (Part 1)

Tax Incentives to Stimulate Small Business Investment (continued)

The other fruit on the Economic Stimulus Package tree that you must pluck is the extra $125 thousand of equipment investment you can write-off in 2008. You do not have to go all the way to the ceiling, but what an opportunity this is to ramp up your small business! There are any numbers of door-step services in your neighborhood that are either scarce or provided by illegal immigrants. Now is the time for you to get the equipment that can take your hobby, skill, or strength to a new commercial level. Cooking is one favorite: Brooklyn Cheesecake sold all its baking equipment in 2006. This company from Fairfield, NJ now licenses its trade-marks. Is selling confectionery under the “The Healthy Bakery” label exciting, or what? Who knows-perhaps you can register an even better name! Converting a part of your home in to an office, setting up your own fuel-cell electricity generator, starting an organic farm, and starting a video-conferencing center, are just random samples of the innumerable new cash generating investments in equipment that you can choose.
