If the building doesn't get approved this year. I'm hoping at least for next year, since it's supposed to take two years for the tower to get completed from start to finish.

The DOW above 10,000 really isn't all that significant. There was a huge drop in march and the current rally is merely a rebound of the lows. There is nothing driving up the prices of stocks if you look at some of these companies actual balance sheets. Its all cost cutting, like layoffs. How is the market above 10,000 when unemployement is about 10%. Companies can't produce when they have no employees. The market will dropoff in the long run. Or it will just experience extreme volatility for awhile like it has been. Christmas should drive up prices though for people looking to invest in decemeber and pullout in January.
On that note this is very good news to hear about the second quarter start date. I wouldn't put to much into it considering many analysts are claiming the market will drop off again, some are even calling for another stage of frozen credit. God willing this building gets built soon it would be a very welcomed addition to the skyline. Go GSK!!!
