The Investment Thread

What percentage is due to margin increases?

I don't know, I don't have access to every company's exact margins on the products or services they provide.

But I do know that costs on wholesales goods have increased a great deal. In fact I believe we get CPI numbers for the supply side and wholesale side tomorrow.

If companies were making so much money wouldn't their stocks be performing better and not going down across the board like they did today?
