2.   Although most economists expect economic growth simply to slow this year, some strategists wonder whether stocks are signaling a recession.

6.   And many private economists expect even worse.

7.   And few economists expect a turnaround before next spring because companies are cutting production to trim inventories they built up after underestimating the impact of the tax increases.

8.   And that is exactly what most economists are expecting.

9.   And the trade deficit did not widen further in June, as economists had expected.

10.   And while many economists expect just that, nothing is ever simple with the Federal Reserve.
