    "Minnesota has the 14th lowest property tax in the nation."

    But that is offset by high state income tax, state sales tax, sewer access taxes and a mirade of business taxes. I owned a laundry and had to pay a fee for every washer and dryer every year.

    We left Minnesota in 1994, as soon as we crossed the state line, our families take home pay increased $6,137 per annum. This was true even though our property tax was a little higher in our new state.

    Unfortunately the stocks that you have listed as staying wary of are the very issues that the specialists on the floor of the NYSE want to accumulate the most for their own personal long term investment accounts before propelling them dramatically higher.

    For more information on how and why they are doing this click on my site and read the documentation on how it all works, and the reports I have issued on some of these issues listed above.

    If you want to work for a company that will F you over, choose Covidien! A true nightmare company!

    The imaging devision is terrible! There is not a person in the company not out looking for a new job. They raised the quotas on the sales force during the year twice. Once they raised it 4 months before the FDA approval for the generic heart agent. Now they've been delayed by the FDA for at least two months. Guess what? They have elected not to adjust the quotas. Every sales person in the entire company is so mad! I worked for them for over twenty years. It used to be a great job. Now it is below entry level medical sales. Most reps are in the 60-80 K range including bonus which is non-existent. They lie and tell you you'll make 125-200. It's all lies. It's the last place anyone in medical sales should consider.

    The executives, by the way, are making money hand over fist. The stock is going through the roof because wall street sees great margins and low cost of doing business. They are raping their sales force. Most of my friends have not had a bonus in more than 8 months. They assured everyone quotas will be re-evaluated at the end of the fiscal year. They know they blew it but are unwilling to fix it. It's all about wall street and the stock. They assured the sales people they would be treated fairly months from now whenever they get around to it. Guess they are too busy spending all their bonus $$$$ as they rape the sales force.

    If a recruiter calls you about covidien, run don't walk!

    SID 40.12, +0.48, +1.2%) , the country's third-largest steel producer.
    "You need steel" no matter the improvement project, the fund manager said. Steel producers comprise the largest portion of the portfolio, at about 9% of assets. "What's most important," Dzierwa noted, "is that this is a fully-integrated steel company. CSN has its own internally generated iron ore -- and we've seen how iron ore [prices] have been behaving -- in addition to steel."
    Iron ore is the key material used to make steel, and its largest producers -- Brazil's Companhia Vale do Rio Doce and Anglo-Australian mining firms Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton Ltd -- have boosted their prices by at least 71% over the last year.
    "[CSN] is producing steel at the same time as raw material, so it is not exposed to price fluctuations," Dzierwa said. "It helps manage margins much better than if you were at the mercy of an outside supplier."
