Weekly Market Update Week of August 16, 2010 From Donna Stevenson of Pacific West Financial |

Posted by: thepinetree on 08/19/2010 11:06 AM

Copperopolis, CA...After slight gains on Monday, all three major indexes – the Dow, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq – closed lower every day from Tuesday through Friday amidst weak economic data and disappointing earnings results. Equities also faced pressure from the Federal Reserve’s warning that the recovery is weakening. In a statement made Tuesday, the Fed admitted that “The pace of recovery in output and employment has slowed in recent months." It also added that while it still expects the economy to grow, the improvement will be "more modest in the near term than had been anticipated." This outlook was among the most pessimistic to come from the Fed in over a year, and it seems to have cast a cloud over stock performance. For the week, the Dow lost 3.3%, the S&P dropped 3.8%, and the Nasdaq slid 5%.

Calaveras Visitors Bureau Hopping Away from Angels Camp? ~By John Hamilton |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/16/2010 06:33 PM
|
Angels Camp, CA...It seems as though the Calaveras Visitors Center's tenure as a fixture in Historic Angels Camp may be coming to a sad and abrupt end. Lease negotiations between the City and the Calaveras Visitors bureau are at an impasse with the City wanting above market rent for the 700 ft or so of office space that comprises the Visitors center. The City also may be eying the space for departmental use and this may make them less inclined to want to reach an agreement. The CVB's lease ends in October so there is still time but the clock is running....
