Time has shown it who is right. Since Jan 1, 2008 people have been calling this a nasty recession including people like GREENSPAN and WARREN BUFFET. There comes your positive quarterly data shutting down all arguments. There is a body of negative literature on this forum post after post expressing a " sentiment" and nothing empirical. How you feel is not the reality, its a feeling and you should understand that. Use outside empirical facts to justify how things can be and be more objective in thinking and outlook. Whatever research you have pales in the face of empirical evidence given to us today. Mainly people's negative sentiment was declaring an " imaginary recession". When you feel bad you assume it must be a fact, and it is not. You have been proven beyond reasonable doubt that there is no recession.. for your emotional rescue visit a Psychiatrist or local mental health clinic.
You will be disappointed in next 3 months, since you are chasing a preconceived theory and are not conducive to outside facts. Its an ego thing. I am right therefore I am. You will be tricked into another wrong premises and that will fail you when you post here. Look for empirical data and build a premise and draw your conclusions.
What do you rely on? Tooth fairy and her magic wand? Why dont you go in SEARS parking lot and declare a " recession" !
Side whoever your heart desires, but you and him do not have empirical evidence on your side neither the power of legitimacy. Warren Buffet is an institutional shark making you sell your stocks so he can scoop them cheap. Go live with a shark and dive into his charms.
What is your point & objective? You've already established yourself as a total moron & nutcase. Your evidence is laughable, as it proves your wrong, but you are too dumb to see it. 0.6% GDP growth huh? Run that past the money supply growth and it screams recession, which has been here for years. You keep making posts that look for arguments, yet dismiss anyone who disagrees. Meanwhile, only utter retards agree with you.
My evidence is laughable? What evidence do you have to state your case? None. ... or maybe just how terrible you " feel"? Stop name calling , it does not works on me. You can see I did not retaliate even once its not out of weakness though.
I simply stated positive GDP means no recession. Rest of it is doom and gloom and national obsession with the sport of pessimism.
