Someone actually did a study on them and Whole Foods and property values as an indicator.I don't know if that works since SBUX are replacing bank branches on every corner it seems.I'm in OR and I kinda like looking at employer locations - Like units between Intel and Nike factories are pretty good to buy in.

I have never met anyone who thinks the board game is a replica of real life, heck even the board game "Life" isn't even close to the world we live in. 

I agree with Account ClosedThe Nike's "JUST DO IT" would be fitting here.

A city with a diverse economy might have:1) A big college/university2) Mining/Oil/Natural Resources3) Tech companies moving there4) Big businesses like Fedex, Nike, UPS, Amazon, Samsung, or LG opening up shop there 3) An automobile plantTHAT is the difference between a one horse down and an economically strong and diverse market.Make sure that the market you choose is NOT supported by just 1-2 economic sectors.Pillar #3 - Population Size/GrowthWhen I first started investing, I bought a few houses in Birmingham, Alabama.

Whether you get your inspiration from the Gurus, BP or elsewhere, as Nike sez "Just Do It"!

You rely on strategies with less than a 3% success rarte to become succesful.What do you think Nike does?

That assumes the goals of each individual are mirror replicas.

Like the commercial for Nike "JUST DO IT!".   

thing is that if I were to keep the old door, which was ugly and was not providing proper security to my tenants, I would have no problem as it would have been grandfathered by the Historic Commission because that is how I had bought the building.Long story short, I did some research and fabrication + installation of a replica historic door will cost me around $8,000.  

They can do what ever they want when it comes to marketing.Do a search for Nike online.They do PPC.
