Cheryl Smith, economist and portfolio manager at Trillium Asset Management, says she expects a recession and the bad news of that economic downturn will be contagious, with the recession hitting employment, rising unemployment will impact income levels, which hurts spending, and declines in spending injures corporate profits.
