expectining. what is your s sen of seconond quarter earnings and h how corporate amamera a is doingigit no >> i think second quarter earnings versussececd quarter last y yrr will be down v vy meaningfully. hohover, earnings expectatioio actutual h he been revivid d upn the conseseusus in recent eks. soso i think it's g gngngo be a mixexed ba but, cleaearl earnings arere suffering becacausththeeconomy versus thehe sonon quarterofof laststyear,as been gogoin straigig d dow so i ththin the market will stst focusing on forwardoooong earningsgsss oosos to getting obsessed about secononduauaer eaearngs. for r an i iividual compmpan obobvisly, that wl be different. >>rere you expecting to see a recoveveryn n th third or fourt quarter of this year, orrre youu bebethnn 2010 for the broad onony recovery? i think wewe'l have a statistical recoveryry hee in te second half ofthe yearss we shift from thearark side t tohe sunny side the inventorory cycle. i call it addition elimination n straction.
7:36 pm
but t i n'n'think we'llavave a recovery worthy ofhehe nee ununl l weeek out on the unememoyoyme rate and itststts comimingacack dn. atat not a sececon halfofof the ar phenomena. that's 2010,, we he.e. > h efffftitive has the stululus package been. reree are loing at a savings te of 66%% suggesting aa lot of pelele aaving whatevever stimulus they may haha gotten. they're not necessarily out andd spending it. or maybehe money hasasn' ne w wor fully yet. do wee need a sendnd stimululu package, bottom linene? >> i thk we neeee a sececon ststimus packagege to your firstueueion about thehe effectivenesess t t first one. i think it'seeeen effective but hasn't generated the typepef exububanancehat people were hoping foror. it was never desesigd d do that. it's too cushion t the down side as presiside o oba sasa, , toave bsbss mhasas to create e jobs. now, obobouousl we've lost a l t of jobobn theirst half o of e yeyearut without thehe stimulul ckckag i think we w wld have lost even more. so think a lot ofeoeoe are being tooararsh on the stimulus ckckag
