It’s hard to believe ski season is rapidly approaching with opening day only a few weeks away. The mountain peaks are beginning to get covered with early season snow, which makes it a great reminder to complete winterizing projects around our mountain homes. Heading into colder temps, make sure your home is set up to run as efficiently as possible so you can feel confident knowing energy bills won’t be a surprise each month. An Energy Assessment will pinpoint areas where your home is losing energy and help guide you to solutions to resolve the problem areas – and will hopefully save you money in the long run.

We’ve all experienced uncertainty in the stock market the past several years. While we’ve seen some good times in the marketplace, we’ve again been reminded this week of how volatile the stock market is with a gut wrenching 635-point fall on the Dow Jones on Monday, a 429-point rally on Tuesday and another 519-point tumble Wednesday.

The roller coaster of the current Stock Market continues and might make you consider investing your money elsewhere to further diversify your portfolio. Returns on the stock market perform best as long term investments, but when you compare 1990-2010, a 20-year time frame, you see an average annual growth of 5.4% depending on exactly when you invested, according an article on www.investmentpropertycentral.com.
