[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 15043, member: 70"] Re: State of the Industry 1/2011 I notices a sharp increase in business and inquiries starting mid November. I am convenced that 2011 will be better than 2010. For me, 2007 was the best year. 2009 was 40% down from 2007. 2010 was better than 2009, not a spectacular year but not nearly as bad as I though it was going to be either. It looks to me like I will come close to 2007 but I am not expecting to quite match those numbers in 2011. Profit margins are finally looking a bit better too. I stopped making huge purchases a couple years ago and kept a good eye on my expenses. I am now looking at starting up those purchases again. I have a list of several items that I need to buy that I had put on the backburner. Other good things that have come along to help have been having my workers comp go down for this year. I also made some insurance moves that saved me several thousand dollars. [/QUOTE]
