when earnings were mounting.
The first half Of 1857 showed a
IS per cent gain over 1855,
which had been SIS per cent
higher than 1855. That year
had racked up q whopping SAT-
per cent increase over the first
half Of 1854.
The bulls are aware Of the
increasing squeeze on corporate
earnings as operating costs rise
while sales for many companies
are dropping.
But many or the optimists
think that sales volume win
rise this fall. And others think
that prices viii. too. Together
these forces could bring earn
lngs up again and make stocks
look good as q hedge against
imitation.
The bears see less hope Of re-
versing the decline Of profit
margins. fear that such a fall
ure viii imperil dividend rates,
and make current stock prices
look too high.
Mix all these ingredients and
you see why the short interest
has been rising even as stock
prices have. while earnings re-
ports season the dish.
