Why do you think we are headed into a recession? Meanwhile, my favorite "talking head", whose comments this morning helped spur today's rally, seems to differ: cnnfn.cnn.com
From the link: <<In a note to clients, the Goldman strategist [Abby Joseph Cohen] said the economy has cooled in recent months but remains in good shape. Inflation is tame, while the Federal Reserve is likely finished raising interest rates.>>
Generally, I think I'm only a little better than JK Galbraith at predicting the onset of recessions, so I rarely try. One probably wouldn't be going too far out on a limb, however, to suggest that growth will be subdued in the coming year, at least as compared with recent years. But a recession, well I wouldn't bet on it- in fact, I guess I'm betting to the contrary.
