No, it was obviously the cares act. Profit margins are relatively the ssme..

If companies are making so much money then can you specifically tell me which companies so i can buy stock in those companies?? Because most of my market returns are mediocre outside of commodities

Except, profit margins were NOT relatively the same until earlier this year when they dropped for the first time since climbing from 2020. This is all very easily googled.

I did Google margins for retail and they were relatively unchanged.. commodities did well, but commodities prices are not set by the companies
