How to Profit From a Slowing U.S. Economy In the Second Half of 2010

As much as the architects of the U.S. stimulus might otherwise wish, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the U.S. economy won't be hot-rodding its way into a higher gear in the year's second half. At best, the U.S. economy will chug along in low gear - managing only minimal overall growth, while bouncing over economic speed bumps that exist in more than a few key sectors. At worst, the engine of economic recovery will sputter, or stall completely - leaving Americans stranded alongside the fiscal roadside, or to roll backward into a double-dip recession.
