Items of Consideration for Investors • The national economy will weather the sub-prime storm, but it will be a drag on growthfor the next year. There is no reason to expect a quick turn around, so growth will be sub –3.0% into 2008. • The struggles of Ford and GM will overshadow the Midwest economy for at least the next 2 years. Economic fundamentals are much stronger today than they were in the past which will mitigate the economic impact on the Midwest economy, though we will still lag the national economy. • Remember the importance of diversification and re-balancingin your portfolios for long-term performance. • Volatility is to be expected in financial markets, what matters is earnings growth still supports stock valuations, keeping P/E multiples reasonable. • At current levels S&P 500 is selling for 15.7x the 2007 estimates and 14.8x the 2008 earnings estimates. 25 year average is 20.4x, 50 year average is 17.5x, and 81 year average is 15.9x. • This is not an expensive market. • International stocks represent near and long-term opportunity. • Current 2007 domestic biases include . . . • Stocks over bonds. • Large Cap stocks over Small Cap. • Higher quality over Lower quality (stocks & bonds).
