I have a question for Danielle. I just don’t understand how corporate profits can go up 15 to 18% every quarter on an annualized basis. Are these accounting gimmicks, technical innovation, hidden inflation, or are we in the USA and Canada taking on debt and buying things like crazy? GDP growth is slowing down around the world, so why is the S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, etc. still reporting huge quarterly profits? Also, thank you so much for your insightful articles in Juggling Dynamite.
