Cascadia Capital Issues 2007-2008 Semi-Annual Report For Eight Core Markets at an Economic Crossroads
Investment Bank Specializing in Emerging Growth, Business Services and Manufacturing Companies Focuses on Financing the Future
Seattle, WA - January 24, 2008
Cascadia Capital, a national investment bank specializing in financing the future for emerging growth, business services and manufacturing companies, today released its semi-annual report for 2007-2008. This publication, which will be refreshed every six months, attempts to put recent financial activity for eight core markets in perspective while looking ahead to what's next. The report is being issued at an economic crossroads. It's unclear whether the tumult in the housing market, the steep run-up in oil prices, or the consumer spending slowdown will truly constrain credit and/or appreciably slow GDP. "This is our best assessment and analysis," says Michael Butler, Cascadia's Chairman and CEO. "Our goal is provide as much insight and intelligence as possible in order to keep companies on the path to prosperity." Cascadia's semi-annual report examines the macro and micro industry trends that will help guide investment decisions in the coming months.
- Dynamic and emerging markets, like sustainable technology, communications and Internet new media, for example, are taking definite shape and changing the way investors approach and consummate deals.
- Many business service and manufacturing companies are assessing the negative impact that the sub-prime mortgage crisis is having on credit supply.
- The software, telecommunications and defense/security markets are transforming themselves in real time.
- And the more mature consumer/retail and transportation/logistics markets are finding new ways of operating and still showing plenty of kick.
