Quote from S2007S:
Believe me Im not.....no matter how you look it there isnt anything that one can find positive about the out look on this economy...
The last bull market was inflated with monopoly money, how will they inflate the next bull market????
I dont know why everyone is so scared of a slowdown, its good for the economical cycle, yet no one believes there should ever be something called a recession, recessions in my opinion make the economy stronger in the long term, By preventing what could have been a long recession back after the dot com bubble burst all they did was inflate the markets with cheap credit and low interest rates, as we can see just 5-10 years later this wasnt the way to fix it, and what are they doing now, the SAME EXACT THING.
Yes, it's amazing how fearful we are of the possibility of recession. Used to be, recessions were taken as a "normal cyclical part of the economy"... (actually they weren't really economically cyclical but rather monetarily cyclical... Fed stepping on the brake to cause them).
But now recession is almost politically unthinkable... as there's always an election "around the corner"... and the incumbent party fears losing seats if their is any stress in the economy... healthy or not.
