re: "Why right after 9/11 would corp profits take such a skyward jump?"

Perhaps because of layoffs. A lot of companies had huge gains as a result of that and other cost-cutting measures they took.

Additionally, the Fed dropped interest rates to the ground and incentivized homebuyers to overspend, the SEC dropped all pretense of regulation, etc.. There was a feeding frenzy between 2000-2005. Hence, THE BUBBLE...

Just noticed something on this chart. Why right after 9/11 would corp profits take such a skyward jump? I haven't thought much about that, but will do some searching. Does it have to do with the added security spending after the attack, and MOST big companies are making something for this "security" and the military complex? I have heard that is the biggest employer/money maker in the country right now.....

Inquiring minds wanna know LOL
