Grace - ...The real problem in the economy now isn't debt, it's profits. No one can figure out how to make 'em in a situation where everyone has access to cheap information. ... No, the real problem is that cheap information is worth less than you pay for it, and may even have a negative worth. Excess capacity and fixed costs make profits elusive at 40% of planned run rates.

<The real problem in the economy now isn't debt, it's profits. No one can figure out how to make 'em in a situation where everyone has access to cheap information.> Not to mention the average age of big ticket items like auto's, etc... if there aren't profits NOW with the employment picture the way it is.... WTF is going to be going down in a year when unemployment is 100-200bps higher??? Get out of the way IMO... this economy has squeezed every last drop of blood out of everyone and everything; it's payback time. DAK
