If we are in a recession now, with slightly negative GDP growth, which I believe is highly likely now and in Q4, then do you think the market's low PE relative to 10 -year treasuries already discounts this or does it need to go lower?

Recall Brinker started the year predicting 2 to 3% GDP growth and only lowered it to 1 to 2% after the first half came in under 1%..... Thus, if you do the math, he is STILL predicting higher GDP growth in the second half to reach the lower limit of his range.

GDP numbers released today average 0.85% for the first half....(1/2 of 0.4% + 1.3%)

The market is headed way up now IMO though it would be nice if the Dow got out of its random number generator phase. I also don't see a recession and certainly not a significant one. As unpleasant as this extreme volatility is it will likely in the end only increase the magnitude of the new leg up in the bull. I can't rule out some more retest in Oct-Nov time-frame but I think surprises will be to the upside.
