Thanks for posting that Kirk. For sharing your chart and information from your site. Every time I post a chart of a major index or sector that shows the market is at all time highs in many areas I see the incredible disconnect. Our economy is barely growing. Business for me is the worst it's ever been. Competitors are giving away incentives of all kinds to bring in business of their own. Never mind that they easily make up for it by charging way more than I do for comparable service. Honestly, it's not a big deal for me because I could retire now. I would be fine but I am simply too young to not continue my career. But back to the subject at hand. Recessions are almost always declared after the fact. ECRI does what they do with tremendous skepticism from the media and most bullish investors each and every time they predict a recession. In an election year neither party's incumbents want to take credit for a weak economy so I believe there is something of a conspiracy to report the best numbers possible. They can always be adjusted down later. The world is getting smaller every day. To think our economy will be unaffected by what's going on overseas is foolish. To think things are good simply because they seem better and stock prices for certain stocks are doing well is naive. JMHO, RtS
