The article didn't say "1988!" It said 1998!!!

I assert that there was an inverted yield curve in December 1988, and no recession. The article says that 1998 was the only time that there was inversion with no recession. I say that isn't true.

"I assert that there was an inverted yield curve in December 1988, and no recession."

Then, if your assertion is correct, what in the heck is wrong with these (bleepin) financial newswriters that they missed a biggie like that??? Splain that to me, will ya?

Also, I didn't see any reference to the 2% rule someone posted upstream on this thread.
