I am not going to be a fool and invest my money in the market. There is no way we can have a better economy under socialism, trillions of dollars in wasted money, incoming massive tax cuts, and inflation.

Not only is the recession not over, but it will go on to full UBER-100000%-KILLERRABBIT-DEPRESSION!!!!!!11!!!!

No matter how bad anyone says it will be, it will be a ZILLION TIMES WORSE!!!!!!1!11!!!1!

I see 108% unemployment, and the complete destruction of all matter and energy in the universe.

Then, come the Laser-Wearing Radioactive Robot Cowboy Zombies wot wear JETPACKS.

And then things get tough.

What massive tax cuts? Or did you mean "hikes?"

And you forgot the massive tax increases. I am predicting tax rates to roll back to pre-Reagan tax cuts.

Golly, he’s so optimistic.

But wait... let’s see what an actual member of the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee has to say on the subject:

Oh. Looks like June 2009 might not yet be the turning point.

“I now think this rally will get to 1060 around July 10.”

BS. Squared.

Yep, especially since if the selling we’re seeing this morning carries through, we’re going to retrace quite a bit of this rally.

The market action through all of last week is typical of the end of large moves - very sloppy intra-day moves that end up resulting in almost no change in the closing values of the market.

Pie in the sky nonsense. 70% of our GDP is consumer spending, which was largely propped up by people living beyond their means. People were spending ‘equity’ from their inflated home values that they no longer have. Now that the bubble has burst, they are left only with the debt they incurred during the boom.

That state of affairs cannot and will not return. People don’t have the capacity to spend that kind of money, thus consumption will not return to its previous levels.

It would be far better if the ‘experts’ would just deal with reality instead of trying to game everyone into thinking that everything is alright. Jive talk isn’t going to change this situation.

The Recession is over

Good. I thought it would be over around June 2010, but I guess a year earlier is better...lol. Yes I really wish it was over.
