<<Productivity growth equals margin expansion.>> How do you per se equate productivity growth at the macro level (primarily as a result from the BLS re-characterization of software costs from expenses to capital items in GDP calculation) to profit margin expansion at either the micro OR macro level?? Oh, let me guess - page 5 from Asymmetric Al's Official New Era Handbook. Productivity rate of expansion in excess of the stated rate of inflation. Pretty neat gimmick so long as you can goose GDP and use "performance enhancements" to diminish CPI. But now GDP appears to be slowing while labor costs and other pesky pipeline costs are rising. Could it be that in the light of day the productivity siren is starting to look like a Las Vegas hooker after Comdex??
