exports, an aggressive Fed policy, and a potentially severe recession in the EU and possibly elsewhere, U.S. All of this argues for a more severe recession in the EU region.

Large cap stocks should outperform small cap stocks through the end of the year. I’m skeptical about this based on history and the Feds tendency to over tighten and push the economy into recession. However, will the Fed go too far and push the economy into recession? Europe is facing a potentially serious energy crisis when the weather turns cold. With today’s inflation reading, the fear is that the Fed might become even more aggressive. Globally, most of the world’s central banks are on a similar path as the U.S. Yes, the economy is very strong, unemployment is low, but there are sign that things are slowing. The annual rate was 8.3% for August, down slightly from a reading of 8.5% in July, but higher than the expected 8.1%. Most attribute the decline to the August inflation rate, which was higher than expected.

And what will it take to tame that beast? Rather, what shocked the market was heat in the economy across the board.
