4. Seems like large corporations of all sorts...
are seeing record profits. Though some aren't, I suppose. After all, Home Depot apparently wasn't doing so well, so it's CEO just stepped down with a severance of $210 Million... (and with all the tax cuts, he'll get to keep record amounts of that). So, for the precious few, the economy IS great.
