But are we really sure there is going to be a recession? A lot of people are talking as if it were a given, but we haven't even had one quarter of negative economic growth yet.

Actually, the "average" recession is supposed to be 10.5 months. Of course, we have not had any in 10 years, so the next one might be a doozy, but I do not think this is the one. Looking at the data, I think a recession will be delayed quite a bit by the Feds and tax cuts, this time around, but eventual reckoning will arrive, and when it will, we may have a longer one than usual. Just an opinion, and it may change as th Feds and the tax man change their tactics. Consumer confidence is probably the key to whether or not we get one around here. Zeev
