HOT MARKETS AT MID-YEAR — ECONOMIC DEFICIT DISORDER

The second and third well-positioned sectors, but declining in print, are #16 Discount Retail ($1T; with $5.6B to print, -25 percent) and #22 Gambling/Wagering ($436B; with $3.5B to print, -2 percent). Most print salespeople and managements, regrettably, are no match for the procurement acumen in these sectors. Don’t bother trying to sell them unless you have previous experience in these sectors.
