The recession is over

Well you can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink.
You guys will wait till the New Years party is in full session.
The market looks 6 to 9 months ahead and the gains will already be in.
I don't even get out for the most part, I buy shares cheaper.

Only morons still believe in this dead cow of an economic system.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Retail sales disappointed in July and the number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week. The latest government reports reinforced concerns about how quickly consumers will be able to contribute to a broad economic recovery.

"There is really no positive spin to put on these numbers," Jennifer Lee, an economist with BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research note. "The U.S. consumer remains very weak. The jobs situation, while slowly improving, is still dismal."

"no positive spin to put on these numbers" ???

In that case the Democrats will just freekin' lie as usual....
 
...and the companies are just abusing there employees with this recession. My company earnings beat estimates and projections were great for Q2 earnings call. The stock is back to where it was before the crash 12 months ago.. yet they have managed to eliminate our ESPP plan, eliminate our vacation banking, eliminate our 401kmatch, and give us a 10% reduction in pay using the 12month recession. Sweet.

That's effed up. The sad thing is that since there's nothing out there most people are stuck where they are.
 
I'll second that commercial real estate concern. Man, real estate companies still aren't hiring for the most part and there is a lot of concern especially with fund owners who have parts of their funds underwater right now.

I'll third it. Everyone in my companies commercial real estate area is always bitching about capital and funding.

In my area we see a lot of unoccupied commercial real estate.
 
The recession will not be over until employment picks up. The US economy depends over 2/3 on consumer spending.

The sad irony is that we're in the black because so many companies have been laying off people.

I just hope top is right.
 
Joe Dirt, love your social stances. Your clueless on business though

No doubt!

I'm too much of a chai-drinking tree hugger, and I couldn't pick a stock if my life depended on it!


My point is that USC bested all ya'll. He knew bush was taking us over the cliff, while wingnuts were still singing the praises of tax cuts for the rich, and corporate deregulation. And as i recall, USC took his money out of stocks before the train wreck.

So, in spite of the insults he gets, USC's predictions hold more water than anyone who ever cast a vote for Bush.
