I'm sorry I've neglected this forum for so long; I've been busy with work and........ well... gaming.

Anyway, at the time I made the comment about the economy not in a recession: it wasn't (or did you want to debate otherwise?). And guess what? It still isn't. Just because consumer confidence is low doesn't mean it's a recession =) However, with reading the papers and whatnot, things certainly do not look good on all fronts (how unfortunate). We won't truly know until those slowpokes at NBER make some kind of announcement, but even then, my views aligned with many other economists (having read their reports, which proves I rarely think for myself).

It ain't over til the fat lady sings, ladies and gents. Though, I hope she keeps her mouth shut for everyone's sake.

I hope you guys are doing great and having an awesome time with life.

I'll check back to see if you wanted to debate whether we were in a recession at the time I claimed we were not.

Recession started only a few days prior to you claiming or fae claimin.. whatever the username is now, that it wasn't. And I stopped debating it because I thought, "maybe fae's right" but now I know I was and I am right.

... since when do you report for the NBER? If you're here to make an official announcement as to when the actual recession started (or will start), please give me your credentials for doing so. As of February, there was still controversy as whether the US will be in a recession. There were those who predicted a temporary slowdown, and there were those who predicted a recession in our midst. Either way, they all have more credentials than either one of us. If anything, I'm sorry for over-reading and believing the words of the latter group . Being an optimist sucks sometimes because you'll have to eat your words, and suffer the reality. But oh well, you live and you learn and you continue to hope for the better.

And stop crying over spilled milk. If you're "right" and I'm "wrong" about the matter, then we all lose anyway =).

Having said that, regardless of the change of screen names (since a year or two agao) I am still Fae.

It's ok, I changed mine as well :P
But at least we can now come to an agreement.
