Summary Global view: “North America” is in trouble; Europe’s

growth is slowing. Japan is as well. Other global economies (BRIC) are showing signs of weakening and expected to follow this downward slope in 2009.

Prolonged cyclical event, projected to extend 2010

Caution against linear projections. Maintain a strong cash position. Avoid large capital expenditures that do not translate into market share gains.

Another word for Recession…
