Your letter to Barron's says, in part, "My primary hit list includes retail, computers, and restaurants."

I agree. As one commentator has pointed out, these are companies that need to raise prices to raise profits -- an unlikely scenario if my "3rd Era" thesis about a long-term deflation/disinflation environment holds up. The other side of the coin is that I believe that companies in industries susceptible to long-term, ongoing cost-cutting, including the cost of replacing capital equipment, will surprise on the upside.

Btw, what do you think of Sbarro's?
