In our view—

  • Consumer: must still reduce debt and save more; housing wealth unlikely to recover
  • Commercial Real Estate: more pain as office and apartment vacancies likely keep rising
  • Government Spending I: Federal stimulus peaks in 2010, then fades

  • Net Trade: benefits from lower dollar limited by oil, China, European demand weakness
  • Demographics: potential GDP growth looks likely to slow
  • Recoveries from debt/ banking crises typically are slow (‘80s UK, ‘90s Japan)
