No worries mate. I figured that ... I was just poking a little fun at myself and my rather gruff nature is all.
Anagram is destriero=roistered. Palindrome is "It's a palindrome and defined as someone who can't balance a checkbook" = koobkcehc a ecnalab t'nac ohw enoemos sa denifed dna emordnilap a s'tI".
You'll lose it right back with this post... That's called a recession. The two do not go hand in hand. They do sometimes, but not always. There's QE in a recession, plus there are bargain hunters looking for yield and stocks that have been unfairly punished that will lead the turnaround. This oftentimes prevents anything close to a 20% dip in the major indexes. No soup for you.
A CNBC "told me it was" recession? A "flash bear market"? I have no idea. The point is, two quarters of negative real gdp numbers do not necessarily coincide with a 'bear market'. They are however, indicative of the textbook definition of a recession. Which is good enough for the media, albeit that definition is loosely defined in the eyes of many. Who cares anyway... Try cookie dough if your tooth hurts. Put it in the microwave with a bowl of vanilla ice cream and have at it. You'll never look like that Freddie cat up in Canada that posts here though eating that bs.
