2007 was not a uniformly bad year for all business. Banks will like to banish the nightmares. Most iPhone users and its legendary maker will remember the last calendar year forever.

It is the stuff of all stock market dreams: streets full of delighted customers; the nearest competitor several laps behind; affordable customer costs with great profits to boot. How can we duplicate this roaring success?

You do not have to own a large capital corporation to taste great business results. It is true that the market place is full of uncertainties.
