Well, if you listen to CNBC regularly, you will realize that all the propoganda is a crock of $#*& !!
We are definitely heading towards a recession. Some of the more ominous signs are:
- Real estate is imploding & will get much worse, before it gets
better. Not only the credit crunch here, but the entire
industry is suffering from large over-supply. The amount of
business that ripples around real estate is incredibly large.
As real estate goes, so does our economy.
- Large Deficit and debt continue to mount. I read that the
national debt went from 5.7 T to almost 10 T under Bush's
watch. What does that tell you about money mgmt ?
- Large run-up on debt will inevitably result in interest rates
rising, so that we can stay competitive with foreign instruments.
Everyone is looking away from Treasuries and investing
overseas. We will be forced to raise interest rates to compete
and meet our debt obligations. We all know what increased
interest rates will do to our already-flailing economy ?
Need I say more ?
Oh, yes, Happy Holidays everyone !
