A little longer wait on West Tenn. megasite

State ECD officials late on Friday said they have asked a State Building Commission subcommittee to defer any discussion of funding the planned Haywood County megasite until later this month. Area landowners apparently need some more time to get their arms around the site's exact specs.
“Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith has worked extraordinarily hard in putting this project together and is to be commended for his strong leadership. There is a great spirit of cooperation and excitement among property owners in the area,” said Commissioner Kisber “We fully anticipate all remaining details will be resolved in the coming days, and the land options exercised before the Oct. 31 deadline.”

How health reform will boost profits

Research Todd Campbell says the economy's long-term growth trend will allow it to smoothly digest health insurance reform. He breaks down the numbers and comes up with another $2 billion in annual profits for the sector and encourages investors to jump in.
The focus on gross margin risk is priced-in and somewhat offset from cost cuts. We also believe margin compression will prove far less than feared. On higher revenue growth, this allows more dollars to drop to earnings per share; suggesting prices are cheaper to earnings than they appear.
