MARKET OVERVIEW Trading overseas is off to a rough start today, as
only two of the 15 markets that we follow are in positive
territory. The cumulative average return on the group stands at a
0.385-percent loss. European shares tumbled today due to decline in
European carmakers after U.S. car giant Ford Motor trimmed its 2005
profits projection late Friday. Furthermore, the French statistic
agency INSEE reported that industrial output fell 0.5 percent in
February, against an expected rise of 0.2 percent on the month.
French manufacturing output, excluding food and energy, declined
one percent in February on the month. The May contract on sweet
crude oil logged its fourth consecutive losing session in a row
after shedding 79 cents in Friday's session. Not only has the crude
futures contract fallen to its lowest level in three weeks, but
crude prices have plunged more than 8.5 percent since hitting an
all-time high of $58.28 per barrel last Monday. Be prepared for the

OPPORTUNITIES Rising inflation. Rising oil prices. Job growth that
stagnated in March. Sounds like a rather gloomy picture. Or is it?
One might think that with the US economy facing several tough
challenges like these, prospects would be grim. However, according
to recent surveys of America's small business leaders, that's not
necessarily the case. American Express took the issue to 627 of
America's small businesses, with an interestingly upbeat outcome.
The results, reported in the New York Times, show an impressive 85%
of owners and executives saying that they see good growth
opportunities within the next six months. That's up 13% from this
time last year and from 56% in 2003. Additionally, almost 60% said
they expected 2005 sales to beat 2004. A separate survey from
online television network SBTV.com showed that more than
three-quarters of small business owners plan to pump more
investment into technology this year. With an economy in the throes
of a sustained recovery, it's essential that small-cap companies
and small businesses underpin the resurgence, since it is they who
do the bulk of the hiring, and offer the best opportunity for
growth, as they supply the larger companies with equipment.
Speaking of hiring, just 44% said they plan to boost employment in
the near future -- but that was up from 35% from last October.
While the nation's small businesses are feeling relatively upbeat
on their future prospects, the same cannot be said for the broader
US economy, according to the latest Bloomberg survey. Following
solid 3.9% GDP expansion over the first half of 2005, the panel of
economists expects the pace to slow to a more moderate 3.5% during
the second half of the year. Again, rising inflation and oil prices
(resulting in current high gasoline prices) will contribute to a
slowdown in consumer spending. Read more analysis from the
