Fake fake and fake, no, not flashing, contrived and artificially generated for trashing PDJT and the re-election.

Did they “flash red” during the 8 years of stagflation under Obama?

That should be called “The Great Recession”

Contrived for news cycle. It hit 640, started rebounding, resunk, rebounded, resunk, rebounded. Something’s keeping it down artificially, but it’s not like the 1,000 drops of only a year ago.

The Democrats are praying to the God they don’t believe in, “Please make this true! Please ruin the economy of America so that we can remake it in the image of Satan!”

Do yourself a favor and just ignore the “news” for the rest of your life.

It’s all lies.

the only thing Drudge loves better than a good sexbot story is any story that might whip up economic panic.

Remember headlines in 2016? Basically next president, whoever was to be elected was to face a recession in 2017.

My thoughts as well plus my liberal IL friends are going hog wild over this and saying, “I told you so.”

Suppose some really big money trouble makers decided to buy 10 yr Treasuries n a really big...HUGE way? That would push the bond price up and the yield down, down enough to be below the 2 yr yield especially if the mega money guys simultaneously sold the two yr bond thereby pushing the price down and the yield up.

The problem with this whole inversion thing prediction is it works about 80% of the time but it takes about 22 months for the recession to kick in. In the meantime the S&P usually advances another 12% on average.

Finally just what is causing the traders to buy/sell the bonds in a way which signals a looming recession? Things are humming along as good as they have ever been with full employment, raising wages and almost no inflation.

Personally I think it’s bullsh*t and the shorts have taken control for now. This will change.

Economies have their ups and downs. Right now it’s up. Probably will stay up awhile as pdjt is trying to make structural and trading corrections to enable this. But if there’s one thing soroznazi and his DNC types want it’s a big recession beginning ASAP for the 2020 election — and they’ve got a lot of power to influence the economy
