The Week Ahead October 19-23, 2009

[Howard Larson]

Monday:
Tuesday: Sept. Producer Price Index (B-), Sept. Housing Starts and Building Permits (B-)
Wednesday:
Thursday: Weekly initial jobless claims (C+), Sept Leading Indicators (D-)
Friday: Sept Existing Home Sales (C+)

Larson note: Looking to keep the upward outlook this week. I am looking for producer pricing so say flat and housing starts to continue to go up and home sales to contintue strong as though the end of November with the government tax credit of $8000 for new home buyers dangling out there. Leading indicators will be higher as this for the most part a composite of what we have previously seen coming out in reports. Only sad note will be the continuing increase in unemployment.

The focused industries we are looking to add clients in for the month are Advertising Specialties, Trade Show Booth Builder, Sign Shop, a Graphic Design Studio, and Printer both small and mid-sized.

We are still looking for sales persons in all areas except

the Great Plains States.
If interested give us a call at 847-991-0488.
