I think a recession is defined as two quarters in a row of negative GDP growth. We're nowhere near that as far as I can tell. I look mainly at tech companies, and HPQ, IBM, CSCO, and MOT are doing great, DELL is slowing down, and even SUNW is improving. That's ~65% of S&P 500 end market tech hardware. Add it up and it looks good despite the crash in May/June. I think we'll get back to even on S&P tech for the year, and may even get a big rise if the inflation news is benign and investors think the rate tightening cycle is over. And I think that view is becoming closer to consensus each day that Q4 approaches, so its a bad time to be uninvested.
