From the Editor's Desk
December and the year is almost done. For many of us this year has not
been the best, and I am sure you will all join me in looking forward to
2010. But what will 2010 bring for you? If you are like me, you are
looking for a strong economic turnaround. Something that will bring some
value back into our pensions and savings, and something that will help
encourage companies to start spending money again.
