Agree with you that profitability will get squeezed and that health care costs will increase -- whether growth will meet predictions or not -- who knows, one can't do to bad by just expecting these economic forecasters to be wrong. >>We are getting all the statistics of what happens in a fed easing environment. This is what is the most confusing to me. Another prediction that this time this factor will not be the same. We have a negative savings rate<< Statistics on easings have been discussed a lot earlier. Some have suggested when the second cut came -- so many people were aware of that statistic and expected a third cut to follow that they piled on in droves and in anticipation fulfilled that "statistic" earlier. I think there are probably some big differences on the timing of the cuts in times past with respect to where we are in the current economic/equity cycle as well.
