I agree with this Titus....it's just common sense.
So, I wonder how long it take Wall Street investors to accept it as fact?
I saw an article yesterday on either CNN Money or Yahoo Finance about Wall Street is concerned because profit/earnings are being squeezed. Kinda falls in line with your point.
And what do corp giants do when profit is being squeezed? They lay people off or try to buy other companies. The problem is, corp's are as lean as they can be and they're aren't many companies left to buy.
