Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson says companies will need to aggressively bring down expenses before he becomes more optimistic on US equities.
"When that layoff cycle picks up in earnest that will actually be one of the keys for us to get bullish because that means the bleeding will stop on the operating leverage," the top-rated strategist told Bloomberg TV on Monday.

Mooers, what do you think?
