5. What’s the bottom line to this deep dive into consumer price inflation?
6. What about the Index of Leading Economic Indicators? How does that factor into this picture? Some say it’s a low-key recession signal.
7. Will all this data give the Fed a reason to ease up on its tightening?
8. Has this data caused you to change your outlook for GDP, the labor or housing markets going into year end?
9. You wrote recently that foreign stocks have been completely written off this year, yet you have your eye on three. Banco Do Brasil (BDORY - Free Report) , Merck KGaA (MKGAF - Free Report) and Ecopetrol (EC - Free Report) .
