Thank the Fed.

If they hadn't overreached in their raising of short term rates, there wouldn't be a yield curve inversion.

You got it! They did the same thing in 2000 and brought on the Clinton Recession that President Bush inherited and was blamed for -- after-wards Greenspan admitted they were too aggressive and what does he do? He does it all over again.

Exactly what is wrong with a strong economy with low inflation that precipitates continual rises in the short term rate?

In guessing the markets for trends I follow the relationship of the up/down of the Dow V S+P.

Most of the true trends will show the S+P up/downs at aprox. 10% in relation to the Dow.

Thats what I see here, something is coming.

In its place we would have had currency devaluation and exchange driven inflation.

Time to panic.

I hate it when the yield curve inverts.

You're right. Greenspan thinks he knows better than the markets. But most people have been brainwashed to think that the private sector causes recessions. You know, when it produces too much, hires too many people, and gives too many raises. All horrible things according to Greenspan. And it is called a business cycle, not a Federal Reserve cycle.
