Hey Guys, I feel like we've allowed this board to fall into some sort of deep funk. And that is not a good idea!
We need to get back on the horse and shake things up again. The world isn't ending. America is not going to hell in a handbasket. And the climate hasn't changed that much yet..... It's just the beginning of winter.
So, I say, let's put on a happy face!
Somebody has got to have some good news for us. Let's try to stay more positive. So, I'll start and see if you can all join in with me.
The economy has turned around. I think it's LT that has talked about how busy he is at work with mergers and expansions.
As for my own business. We're expanding also. We'll be opening a new candle store in Duck, North Carolina in March. I wouldn't be making this investment if I didn't feel good about the economy.
Housing starts are way up in my area. For the last two years, there has hardly been any work for carpenters and laborers. Now, you see new houses being built on vacant lots in several old neighborhoods. That is people investing in the future folks and that's a great thing.
Yes, our stock investments are down right now. But, we have so many other things to be happy about.
Now it's your turn!
Chuck
