How is this "talking down the economy?" Only an idiot would think that economies always grow and that recessions are avoidable. Like it or not the business cycle is here to stay. A recession may or may not be imminent. If it is, then look at it as an investment oppurtunity rather than a negative.
Check out Hydro's posting history & get back to me. Incessant doom & gloom prognostication. The definition of "talking down the economy".
I am well aware of business cycles, btw. Thanks.
