Overall, the Columbus economy is pretty dramatically underperforming the U.S. as a whole.

We're underperforming the nation and have been ... for the past three years. The Ohio economy is dragging us (Central Ohio) down.

This is a pretty good report, I thought, in terms of the economy getting better.

I think the underlying economy is still pretty darn good.

It looks to me, with a slowing economy, the first half of the coming year is going to be pretty challenging but the second half will be a little easier. For the investor, the challenge is to stay on the sidelines and watch what the growth expectations are ? the challenge is to keep your eye on the trend line and when the markets assumptions get way above, you sell, and when they get way below, you buy.

They're not as big and they get pretty good fuel economy.
