Bulls Back On Track?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:21:18 GMT

Good morning. With chants of "Dow 10K… Dow 10K" once again rising from the streets at the corner of Broad and Wall yesterday, it is easy to believe that the bulls are back on track and that we'll soon be looking at new highs for the stock market.

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:01:00 GMT

Nov. 8--From his 30th-floor Center City office, William J. Hirschfeld has an in-your-face reminder that all is not well in commercial real estate.
His view is of One Liberty Place, the 61-story premier office address that, to the casual observer, is a glistening marvel.
That means finding a tenant for the 54th floor, a spectacular space that, despite pulse-quickening views, Hirschfeld, as One Liberty's leasing manager, has had no luck filling since Cigna moved out three years ago.
