Recession Deniers?

I don't think so. The market seems to have settled somewhat around a temporary bottom awaiting government action, but once it becomes clear that the stimulus won't work, that will get priced in, and the general level will probably fall. Even if it doesn't, it's doubtful you'll see any considerable rise for a while, so you might as well wait it out.

Shouldn't I pump money in while it is cheap? Where else should I be keeping money while I wait?

or

Canadian Chartered banks in 4 different currencies as a hedge. :thumbsup:

Our banks stayed out the nonsense by and large and the structure is considered the soundest in the world.

You believe in dollar cost averaging? :eek:

Absolutely. It makes for a nightmare at tax time, but it also saves me the trouble of trying to catch the falling knife at the very bottom.

Which I can't do. That would bother me more if you could do it, either.
 
He may believe that we're, technically, in a recession but he thinks it's just hype when it's referred to as "As bad as we've seen since the 30's." I don't think those claims are exactly wrong since, numbers-wise, there hasn't really been anything near as bad as the Depression but this tops the other recessions. Personally, I think there is so much underreporting of unemployment and underemployment that this recession looks better than it actually is. I could be wrong but it seems like it's easier to hide the suffering than it was in the 1930's.

Could you come up with a more retarded thing to say? Out of all the forums I've ever posted on, you are the most shameless post-count whore I've come across. You know, if you don't have anything worthwhile to say, you don't actually have to post.

QFT!
 
The western way of life doesn't brake even, we all live off the sweat of the third world. Now a extra problem is on us in the form of drought? Point reached where the world has to be thinned and I'm about to say (might be stupid) that chem trails are weather control and the coming shortage of food is planed. Oil prices are played with, with a plan in mind to cripple China and Russia and control the middle east. Israel will be the fall guy and they are blinded with ego and religion. We, the cattle of the controllers will be severely shocked and reduced to slaves, so you have a choice, buck the system to delay your dimise or roll over and be chipped. Easy to tame hungary animals with food. ( No wonder I drink with thoughts like that)

Just out of curiosity, who do you think killed JFK?
 
themusicteacher said "My father-in-law,who is a very intelligent,---" Oximoran?? How can anyone think it ok except C. Scrutinizer? Yes this whole tread borders on CT. It's time to buy a tent because thats where many will be before long and the stock market will be a cow in a paddock. Wonder if all the "Your mad" bits will be replaced with "Gee you were correct, sorry"
 
I've seen a clip years ago where JFK slumps from a bullet in the back, then he is hit from the front and brains blood spray out the back of the poor guys head.?? Two shooters at different spots.? Perhaps the states never showed that violent bit. Anyway back to the father in law he would have to admit things are getting worse, has anyone asked him?

The brains clearly spray out of the top, right side of the head. The head tilts very slightly forward at the moment of impact. I had constructed several animated gifs that show this on another forum, but checking the thread now, I see stupid imageshack has dropped the crucial one which demonstrates the actions I mention during the headshot.
 
My problem is with the reality deniers - those who think that for some reason a cyclical economic recession is reason to act hysterical and tell everyone that the end of the US Empire is nigh and that we should all buy gold and flee for the hills.

There is no doubt we are in a recession - the data are clear. But this does NOT mean the great depression II is coming and the financial apocalypse is nigh. It means a temporary slowdown in the economy.

A lot of people refuse to accept that. They deny reality - they WANT things to be worse, so they act like they are.
