National Recession Arbiter Says
Data Don't Necessitate Meeting

Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

WASHINGTON -- Debate is raging over whether the U.S. is in a recession or on the verge of one, but the official arbiter doesn't think it's even worth investigating yet.

Maybe the Fed doesn't have to cut interest rates any after all? lol. no wait, that wouldn't be good ... or would it? I'm confused.

My real opinion is that all hinges on GE and what their numbers and future outlook is pre-market Thurs. morning. Nothing up until then will be as telling.
