Today’s economic weather according to Bloomberg is simultaneous sunny skies and hurricanes. As kids prepare to return to grammar school today, I’m reminded of parents’ concerns that they are dressed appropriately for the weather.

But as investors (and yes, tattered holders of 401-k’s, up 50% from their Springtime lows), how do we?

The fly in the ointment is that securities analysts in 1500 firms are predicting 25% profit levels for S&P 500 companies during the next year which is only 10.9 times greater than the levels predicted by economists for GDP! What’s 1000 percent or so between colleagues (or disciplines)?

The problem for us kids is: How do we begin to interpret such reports either to protect what remains or to position ourselves for the upside?
