...Whither the third? Well, once upon a time, Q3 was supposed to be the start of the turnaround; now it?s just another three months to wonder if this gets worse before it gets better. That brings us back to the consumer - who, according to Friday?s University of Michigan survey, is getting a little glum too - and whether $40 billion in rebates and 275 basis points in interest-rate cuts will be enough to keep wallets open and the economy above water...

Years ago the Pru refused to accept applicants whose cardiograms showed deep Q3-waves. Now it knows that deep Q3-waves are often meaningless, accepts most applicants. The Pru never says that any one individual will die sooner than another. What it does say is that, actuarily, in any given group of 1,000 people with a heart abnormality, possibly 30% will...
