Uncle Frank,

At the rate GDP calculations have been corrected to the downsize I wouldn't be surprised that GDP growth (currently 1%) doesn't get revised to 0 for Q2. Clearly Q3 will be lower.

Technology has been in a recession all year.

If the 'R' is uttered in public, officially, there will be another leg down in the market. It would almost seem better to get it over with as early as possible.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the GDP gets two major revisions. The first one corrected the last quarter figure from 7% down to 1 or 2% and there is another correction to those figures coming. It could easily be below zero. This quarter has to be less than last quarter. That means there is a extremely good chance that we are right now in a recession by any definition.

Historically, the good news is that as soon as everyone agrees we are in a recession we are on our way out.

Frank--

You must have missed Scott McNealy this afternoon on MSNBC.
He stated flatly that we were in Recession prior to 9/11 and that the only groups that did not think so were polititians and market analysts. The former cannot bring themselves to be politically incorrect, and the latter have a surplus of "V's" and "U's", plus unrealistic charts that only look backwards, and surveys that don't include responses from company presidents.
