Ron -

[...Price stagnation is not what the Fed wants either. Price increases are what drive profitability. What is important is whether economic growth is exceeded by those price increases, suggesting that demand is outstripping the economies ability to increase supply...]

This doesn't sound right at all.

To the small extent that profitability is driven by price increases, there is always a more fundamental cause that allows the price increases in the first place.

Profitability is always the result of competitive advantage, possibly temporary, usually resulting from the timely application of new methods or technology, or from the lower marginal costs that a large market share allows.
