Barry Ritholtz: Falling Earnings, Recession Warning
FYI: One of the big concerns for investors is the health of corporate profits, which have declined in the three of the past four quarters (the last quarter with full data ended Sept. 30, 2015, though forecasters have predicted a decline in fourth-quarter profits as well). The natural question is whether falling earnings point to a recession. Regards, Ted http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2016-03-09/falling-corporate-profits-and-recession-warnings
