According to JLL, signs of recovery began last year with the luxury residential sector when prices bottomed out in 3Q2016.

From Zuu Online: Managing a private enterprise is not an easy task. Business owners need to ensure that they are always in a position to meet their customers’ requirements. It is necessary to constantly upgrade your products and services so that you can remain competitive. There is also always a constant stream of administrative tasks to be attended to. However, one area that continuously requires an entrepreneur’s attention is finance. Every business needs an adequate amount of cash to survive.
From Motley Fool: Dividend investing may appear to be rather easy. After all, finding stocks with high yields is not particularly challenging.
