Happy New Year!

As New Year’s Day arrives, I suspect that quite a few people are glad to see 2008 come to a close. It doesn’t matter who you are, you can find something about 2008 not to like. From the dismal financial performance of the stock market to the still slumping housing market to the political scandals around the country, there is some bad news available for everyone. Even with the election of a new president, the polls tell us that after his inauguration the country will still be split into red and blue groups of supporters. With that said, let’s look towards 2009 and think about what a New Year might bring our way.
