Economic Concerns

One of the problems with living in Dane County is that we are quite insulated from the real economic world. Our steady and growing employment base is one of the best in the nation. And while one gets unduly pessimistic if you get all your news from the electronic media, I do feel there are some concerns about 2008. Rising energy and healthcare costs could result in reduced customer spending. However, one thing I think we often forget is how powerful the international economies are to us. Bottom line: there may be lots of opportunities in the equity market right now.
