The ‘Recession’ is real and no matter the isolated contracts one obtains or the increased prices a Farmer gets for his Corn crop, it is real. Sure, there are pockets of prosperity but in the main, a contraction is in process and, I fear, about to get a lot worse no matter how much devalued currency the Fed throws at it.

Sorry to be so realistic about what I'm seeing through absolutely clear glasses.

There are always sectors or markets on the decline, even when the general trend line is up.

Recession is by definition two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Anyone who states we are in a recession does not know the meaning of what that term means. Words have meaning, despite what the media thinks.
