problems that has repeatedly plagued the industry. Deposits have increased slowly but surely over the years, despite necessary to have a long-range strategic plan for her firm, including a 1-year forecast and preferably even a 5-year forecast of deposits. She examines the past deposit data and also peruses Florida's gross state product (GSP), over the same 44 years. (GSP is analogous to gross national product (GNP) but on the state level.)
