My variant view is that the strong short-term earnings cycle, which has dominated the investment landscape, captured investors' confidence and buoyed share prices over the past six months, will be short-lived as many of the aforementioned policy initiatives (e.g., one-time mortgage credits or the cash for clunkers program), while serving to pull forward sales, are borrowing from 2010. Moreover, numerous nontraditional headwinds (highlighted in my last model portfolio update) will serve as a governor to economic growth. I see little incentive for businesses to get on the offensive and restock, especially in light of the continued deflationary trends in wages and in the absence of evidence of any sustainable advance in demand.
