The key factors helping to buoy spending over the November-December gift-buying period were continued employment gains coupled with a steep reduction in gas prices.

Consumers continued to shop right up until the very last minute on Christmas Eve as seen by our spike in sales.

With the inherent value in Cabot's capital program, we recommenced buying shares in late November and early December with the market pull back. We still see a lot of merit and long-term value for the shareholders in looking at COG stock as an investment alternative.

Their goaltender made some key saves in the second period. If not for that, we could have been tied up.

This anticipated package of spending should go a long way to saving lives and helping make the back-bone of our economy still more efficient.

Hep Decemberdeyim waiting for you..
