Everyone's raising prices -- should
you?

 Success
has a price -- and lately, it's been going up.
An increasing number of small-business owners
are opting to raise prices, according to the National
Federation of Independent Business, which surveys small-business
owners each month for its Small Business Economic Trends report.
As part of each report, small-business owners
are asked whether they've raised their prices or lowered them. Every
month since January 1999, the survey found more increasing prices
than lowering them -- and the pace has been picking up.
The chart below details the net percentage of
small-business owners raising prices since the start of 1999.
