Equity markets slide after an eventful month
August 1, 2014
Clarksville, TN – The last week of July has been eventful on a number of fronts. The economic calendar was packed, geopolitical tensions intensified and Argentina teetered on the edge of default, eventually going over. This is the second time the South American country has defaulted on its debt in the past 13 years.
The default may be short-lived if Argentina can reach an agreement to pay its missed $1.5 billion interest payment.

Labor Day is More Than a Day Off from Work
September 5, 2011
Washington, D.C. – Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
This Labor Day, take a minute to honor America’s hardworking men and women by showing who’s special in your life. Is it the nurse or teacher who made a difference? Or maybe a relative who labored as a steelworker or ironworker? Or, as we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, is it one of the many first responders who rushed into burning buildings to save lives?
