OK. Forget the stock market then. Let's just stick to the recession call. I bet first half of 2012. NBER doesn't declare recessions until usually a year later. So we'll have to wait until 2013 to see if I am right or not.

So what is your counter bet? It can not be just that I will be wrong. Do you believe that there will be no recession in the next year or two? Be specific.

As to betting money, I'm not a gambler, so we'll have to stick to bragging rights. Or if you prefer, the loser needs to openly acknowledge on this thread that they were wrong and the winner was right.

As for the stock market, no bets. Random walk. Like betting on the weather six months from now.

You should take MM up on that weather bet in our world. Going to be 92/79, partly cloudy and very humid with 50% chance of afternoon thundershowers down here in mid September..
