<p>Some of the worries coursing through the markets these days include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A dysfunctional Congress’s failure to address the long-term structural deficits in the entitlement programs as well as creating a threat of a default on Treasury debt</li>
<li>Equity valuations are at high levels, with the Shiller CAPE 10 (cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio) at about 25</li>
<li>The risk of inflation caused by the explosion in the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet</li>
<li>The tapering of the Fed’s program of quantitative easing and the uncertainty that creates for the bond market</li>
<li>The economic uncertainties created by the problems with the Affordable Care Act</li>
<li>And, not least, the threat of a nuclear Iran</li>
</ul>
<p>Now corporate profit margins can be added to the list?</p>
