Oh good; then I can repost the entire post within context:

The market also rallied before the Depression.

A recession is borne out by statistics after the fact. The reality of a recession is brought out by anecdotal evidence, during the fact.

And statistics can show whatever someone wishes it to show....especially since .gov has altered how things are measured from time before.

From which you made up, whole cloth, the following, and attributed it to me:

So are you predicting a recession based on today's rally?

I merely asked you if you were predicting a depression based on today's rally. Are you? Or are you going to do your dancing bear routine?

After you posted the overtly obvious fact that the market rallied before the Depression you then posted this quote:

A recession is borne out by statistics after the fact.

So is a rally before the Depression a statistic or not?
