Conclusions

  • The U.S. economy has slowed following interest rate increases by the

Federal Reserve of 425 basis points in two years.

  • Higher rates clearly have contributed to the popping of the housing

bubble.

  • The subprime meltdown appears to have caused another down leg in
  • housing. The housing drag will end this year unless regulators
  • verreact.
  • Households appear to be in pretty good shape in spite of worrying

debt levels.

  • Most analysts think seasonal peak in gas prices is now.
  • Our current planning assumptions include $3.00 + gas through the

summer.

  • The death of trucks and especially SUV’s has been greatly

exaggerated.
