There's more than one definition, so it completely depends on how you look at it.

There's more than one definition, so it completely depends on how you look at it. They're generally the same sweety. downturn is a term used when the stock drops, then the next day or even the next week it goes right back up and stays stable. It's like a bobbing lure. When you throw the fishin line into the water, the bob (the red/white plastic ball that keeps the lure from sinkin) goes underwater, then pops back up again and it bobs up and down until it finally stabilizes. recession on the other hand is like grasping at straws, you're sinking into a quick sand trap. You struggle tryin to keep your body above the trap, but no matter how much you try to stay up, you still sink. this has been happening for a long time. And what people should realize is... that the economy effects classes from the bottom up. So people who are low class get hit first then as the economy worsens it goes up the latter of classes. So people like us who can even afford a PC have no perception of this recession because it hasn't effected us yet. Take a look at those bargain traders, homes, boats, vehicles etc... those are properties from people who could no longer afford their property. And this all started to become bad 2 years into the war... and it has been gettin worst and worst. |

(Which would be recessions, not downturns. Not the same thing. Downturn can lead to recession, but if there's downturn it doesn't necessarily mean there is recession.) I'm not talking about what a recession is like, I'm talking about what a recession is. Regardless of similies, regardless of the economy's effect on people, technically speaking there's still a case to be made in economic terms to say that we aren't in a recession. |

Regardless of similies, regardless of the economy's effect on people, technically speaking there's still a case to be made in economic terms to say that we aren't in a recession. reˇcesˇsion 1 (rĭ-sěsh'ən) Pronunciation Key n. 1. The act of withdrawing or going back. 2. An extended decline in general business activity, typically two consecutive quarters of falling real gross national product. 3. The withdrawal in a line or file of participants in a ceremony, especially clerics and choir members after a church service. Whatever... I'm not gonna argue this, I've made my point. I'd advise you take a look at the stocks for 1 month and there's your proof. It'll be the same as gasoline but the opposite. If there's downturns constantly with no upturn (going back above the original number prior to downturn) then you start to get into recession. But if there's downturns then upturns, then it's basically an everyday downturn. |
