Trendline Financial Monthly
  December 2010
Hi Everyone   - 
I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving and are looking forward to pleasant time with Family and Friends this holiday season. The lead non-financial article is written by a very qualified associate of mine, Debi Silber, concerning a problem I always had while at work – how to eat correctly.
There are only several weeks left to do any year end chores – investment trades for tax purposes, deciding whether to include or defer income in December, if possible. Give some thought to what your 2010 tax return will look like if you did it today.
Make time in your busy schedules to spend quality time with family and friends - it’s important. I wish you all a very happy holiday and a safe, healthy and rewarding new year.
Peter Owen
