lori: i think you have to have bows. if you look at the last reporting season, what we saw from companies is they told us that demand or underlying appetite was still unbelievably strong. they still sometimes had problems meeting demand because of supply chains, but they tended to have that deferred, not deplete lee -- not completely destroyed. if companies can continue to manage through and keep those margins respectful, even if not remarkable, then i think the market can come through because corporate profitability will come through. we did actually do a survey of our analysts before the holiday break and asked them what was their outlook on omicron. more than half of them said they thought it was too early to have an opinion, but almost 2/3 told us they cut their companies were well prepared to manage through this next challenge, so the stock pickers i work with ink we will continue to navigate the challenge in 2022, which is a good sign. alix: how does wage inflation take into that? lori: i think ultimately it comes
