Low Cost Parking Lot Maintenance with Asphalt Seal Coating
2011-03-14
If first impressions are lasting impressions, maintaining a parking lot should be the highest priority for every commercial space owner.

An old, damaged asphalt parking lot makes a business look very unappealing and can drive away traffic very quickly.
Asphalt pavements and parking lots need to be well maintained, ...

Is a Roth IRA conversion right for you?
2011-03-14
Beginning in 2010, there was a major change to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) that allows more investors the ability to "convert" their traditional IRA's to ROTH IRA's. How could this affect you? First let's distinguish the general difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. A traditional IRA is a retirement account that allows investors to contribute funds on a tax deductible basis. The investments grow tax deferred and when the funds are taken out, typically at retirement, withdrawals are taxable. The ROTH IRA works a bit differently. With a Roth, contributions ...
