MILSTEAD: MDC executives garner millions

January 7, 2009

The economy sinks to recession and the housing market remains a shambles, but the executive-pay machinery at MDC Holdings hums along, undeterred by such macroeconomic events. We know this by reading the company's disclosure, made inconveniently on New Year's Eve, that CEO Larry Mizel and President David Mandarich will each receive bonuses of $2.5 million.

REUTEMAN: Recession tops list of '08 stories in Colorado

December 27, 2008

I spent the past week going through 300 or so Rocky Business sections from 2008. I've come up with a list of what I think were the top 10 stories of the year in Colorado. It's subjective but defensible. For the most part, I looked for actual news stories, rather than trends.

REUTEMAN: Skiers flock to Vail's slopes, but shops seem empty

December 20, 2008

The last place I expected to find myself this week was at a newspaper "launch" party.

REUTEMAN: In Colorado, numbers tell the story

December 12, 2008

This time each year I like to sift through the thick Colorado Business Economic Outlook done by the CU Leeds School of Business. The 2009 edition came out Monday, and you probably saw the headline news: The jobless rate will uptick to 6.5 percent from the current 5.7 percent, led by a loss of 11,200 construction jobs.

REUTEMAN: The high price of rescuing the country from financial disaster

November 29, 2008

Is the war in Iraq the most significant legacy of the George W. Bush presidency? No, a Republican friend insisted Friday morning. Bush will be remembered most for the fact that no terrorist attack has hit U.S. shores since Sept. 11, 2001, he insisted. Personally, I think the most protracted legacy of the Bush Years will be the amount already pledged to rescue the country from financial disaster - $8.45 trillion, with two months to go in his second term.

REUTEMAN: Goldilocks days? It's a horror show

Where the U.S. economy is concerned, what's good for the goose is often not good for the gander. Several reports this week underscore the point.

PATON: Weak economy drives more into bankruptcy

November 12, 2008

In a sign of the tough times, more than three Colorado companies a day, on average, are declaring bankruptcy. It's a diverse group of businesses, some bigger than others, showing up at the courthouse in Denver. The U.S. units of oil and gas producer Storm Cat Energy, home builder Village Homes, the owner of the Vail Plaza Hotel & Club, luxury office project Courtyards at Lone Tree and Irish pub Celtic Crossing are among them.

REUTEMAN: One more go-round for Ritter on oil, gas

November 8, 2008

All of a sudden, the second week of December looms large for Gov. Bill Ritter. That's the week Colorado's oil and gas commissioners give final consideration to new rules for energy drilling that offer further protection for the environment, wildlife and impacted communities.

For religious leaders, walking the campaign trail this year has had its own particular pitfalls.

REUTEMAN: No more handouts; cheaper oil all we need

October 31, 2008

REUTEMAN: This financial crisis just don't get no respect

October 18, 2008

Remember the good ol' days when Wall Street was just morally bankrupt? Are you ready for some meltdown humor? You know you could use a dose. Here, pretend I'm Rodney Dangerfield.
