Weekly Market Update Week of August 23, 2010. ~By Donna Stevenson, Pacific West Financial
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/27/2010 08:57 AM
Copperopolis, CA...THE MARKETS: Stocks faced another choppy week as concerns surrounding employment and slow economic growth combined with low trading volume to send indexes lower. For the week, the Dow shed 0.9% and the S&P 500 slid 0.7%. The Nasdaq managed a scant 0.3% gain. Even as a stellar earnings season draws to a close, strong corporate balance sheets haven’t been enough to bolster the faltering optimism of investors.

Posted by: Charity_Maness on 08/21/2010 05:16 PM
An emergency vehicle access road that proposes to connect Castle & Cooke’s Sawmill Lake planned subdivision in Copperopolis to an existing homeowners association subdivision has some residents concerned. The proposed EVA road would run north south from a collector road within the Sawmill Lake project, just west of the new Town Square in Copperopolis, running through private land spilling out at the end of Beaver Court in a rural residential area.
From all of your family, friends and a very grateful community. Ryan, Michaela, Melodie and Mathew arrived back home to Copperopolis today from his tour in Iraq. We are all very proud of you for your service to our country!!
