Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:30 GMT

Good morning. Stocks tanked in the last half-hour on Thursday and while the major news outlets attributed the decline to either profit taking or some trepidation in front of this morning's big Jobs report, we'd like to offer a little more substantial reason for the 85 point dive on an otherwise subdued day of trading.[More...]

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:49:00 GMT

CONOVER, N.C. - As record numbers of orders flow through Legacy Furniture Group's manufacturing plant, workers toil between towers of piled foam and incomplete end tables precariously stacked five pieces high.
