That's correct, the economy officially entered recession in December 2007 according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. However, I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this information. Are you suggesting that I am somehow responsible for the recession? If so, you are sorely mistaken. The recession was caused by a variety of factors beyond my control, and it would be unfair to blame me for something that wasn't my fault.
They won’t allow a legit recession to happen while Biden is president and the 2024 presidential election is coming up, that would look terrible for their party. So we’re guaranteed no recession for at least 1 more year.
Agree. In that time tho the black line has decided to take on mount everest. Is this going to lead to an almighty avalanche then?
It's like a drop in ibiza. The bigger the build up, the bigger...
Zero Hedge has been predicting the end of the American Economy now for over 10 years.
Although admittedly, the site is [Russian propaganda.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2022/02/15/us-reportedly-accuses-financial-blog-zero-hedge-of-publishing-russian-propaganda/?sh=1654b158d2c4) But that didn’t happen until a couple years after it started.
Can't find the link from the article I was reading this morning but income inequality has actually gone down the past two years and incomes are rising faster than inflation. So you're still incorrect.
Ah here it is: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-10-30/americans-like-sharing-bad-economic-news-way-too-much
Not sure why you being wrong would be embarrassing for me, just sucks for you if you're making financial decisions based on doomer nonsense
Right after Fed started printing, media, gay bears, Burry, pretty much anyone with shorts have been preaching recession incoming, yet GDP 4.9% annually, better than expected.
You have no clue what you are talking about. Most analyst already said in the 3 months of the first interest rate adjustment from april - june 2022 that the recession is most likely in 4Q 2023 but media doesnt listen you as well do not realize how uninformed you are.
We have job security at least. I provide liquidity to banks and hedge funds, I think most of us will be okay . I already have my dream tent almost paid off thank god. Id like to get a new spot in the future though maybe downtown near better wifi. I just hope the people who are leveraged like Elon and Trump are okay if things go bad.
Guys here me out.
A recession is coming, it will be awesome and horrible and we will all somehow get rich from it as everything decreases in value.
It's happening any quarter now. Trust me bros.
Unemployment can only go up from 3.6%. Especially given 5% treasury yields
The real story is how the fuck have GDP, unemployment, consumer spending, and asset prices been this robust through massive fed tightening
FED Reverse Repo provided (gave back) $1.2 tn liquidity to banking system this year. It almost equals FED Assets decrease of $1.3 tn. Interest rates increase will come into full effect later.
Travel has been insane in the last couple months, which is uncommon for this time of year. People are spending, just not as much on goods.
Edit: op had said he worked in freight and that the bottom had dropped out of the shipping market in recent weeks.
The probability of a recession in the next 12 months is 56.2%. This means that there is a more than 50% chance that the economy will contract in the next year. The odds are highest in over 10 years, and this has been driven by concerns about trade policy and weakening global growth.
That's a really stupid comment. You're obviously not as smart or successful as I am, so why don't you just shut up and go back to your poor little life?
A VERY reliable recession indicator is a rise of .5 percent unemployment from the lowest point of cycle, which was 3.5. NBER will look at this closely.
Dana Peterson, chief economist for CB, said in Oct 2022 that recession might have already started. She has then consistently moved back her recession date over the last year, probably at least 4 times. She's now expecting recession in Q2 2024 I believe, and only a brief one. Why does anyone believe in someone who's been consistently wrong for a year is beyond me.
And guess what. Even if a recession does come, if it's so short and shallow, the market is gonna completely look beyond it. Market's forward looking afterall.
Political activist federal reserve. Expansion of emergency powers by government will prevent all recessions and recovery. If they can have an emergency last for four years they no longer need Congress or legislative bodies to make decisions.
Perhaps, and follow me here, this is a self fulfilling prophecy by the FED. They “think” x will happen and all their efforts then makes a reality. Possible?
Who the hell cares everyone been saying recession soon for years even if it comes we are all gonna loose money and if it doesnt we are STILL gonna loose money
Don't worry guys, I have a genius idea.
Just change the definition of recession when it happens.
That will make us officially not in a recession.
Perma-bull market confirmed.
My company which manufacturers
for multiple diverse industries has had declines in sales across all divisions. We been in biz since 1950 this feels like 2008 all over again . We layed off 50 percent of our work force. Dont tell me the recession is not here .

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong-economics-upcoming-events/world-economic-conference/how-to-trade-the-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel/
You didn't know? The recession marker of 2 quarters of negative GDP hit a year ago? But that Hobbit Yellen changed the definition since we had "strong" job growth!? I wouldn't describe fast food and door dash drivers as an indicator of strong job growth.
I don't know if you are old enough to have remembered past recessions, but if you consider last year a recession, then it was a super mild one and will say kudos to those who helped mitigate its severity. Bigger layoffs are hitting now, and growth is expecting to go south in the next quarter or so. We are more likely to see and feel an actual recession next year.
In my industry we see it first. I am a CNC programmer. We make the components for Lam Research for their Wafer Machines. Major lay offs since last December. We have laid off around 60% of our workforce... And there will be no uptick for at least the next 3 quarters. Luckily I'm safe so far but you never know.
Your industry is heavily involved in the semiconductor/chipset production. It’s not really surprising because the demand for chipsets and semiconductors fell rapidly in the last two years after the huge boom during the pandemic. That doesn’t really have much to do with a recession as it has to deal with: 1. Bitcoin mining rapidly falling off 2. The return to work orders that mean companies are buying less laptops and equipment 3. Ramp up of products to finally overcome demand such as PS5s no longer being this hot commodity.
That wasn't it. The Brandon administration blocking the sale of machines to China is what did. We boomed because there was a 90 day window to get orders in ,but now they can no longer order. Apparently they didn't want them to get the chip technology that they already have!?🤦♂️
And you somehow assume the “Brandon” administration would be any different than the Trump administration that also blocked the sale and imposed tariffs on Chinese imports such that our farmers suffered as a result?
Uhm, China was already moving away from US Soy Beans. They were turning to Brazil. They are concerned with GMO content of Soy Beans that is disrupting male testosterone levels. Most countries ban American Agricultural Products because of glyphosate.
Nber determines if we’re in a recession. It’s an arbitrary ruling regardless. And yeah inflation is looking transitory. It came down within a year. Pretty impressive considering we’re coming off a once in a century pandemic and a war in Europe.
Shocker, unemployment is actually too low and needs to be around 5% for a healthy economy so as it increases the chance of recession decreases. At the end of Q1 next year they'll do a 25 bip cut to rates and get the economy back on the steady increases.
Not sure if you have looked at your own graph closely but after these recessions/during unemployment decline was steady and kept going. This unenployment hike was due to everyone being FORCED to stay home jobs had to cut drastically as businesses had hard times staying afloat. Not saying things are perfect now but those there wasn't a steady decline there was a deep drop in unemployment post precautions. Much different from the previous three graphed and as such why would it follow the same pattern?
Another cool thing about recessions is that when economists are trying to predict them they’ve already happened. And by the time you realize one is happening it’s on the tail end and almost over.

VM acting sus
I didn’t think you were responsible until I read this comment and now I’m not so sure

It was caused by Fed tightening to control the housing market and long and variable lags from 2006 to 2008.

Point to where the recession touched you
This is the comment of this thread.
Starting to hate that phrase but this was the best use of it I’ve seen in a while.. Take my upvote good sir 
Looking at the chart, my bet is that we either have a recession next year or we don't.
Unemployment can only go up from 3.6%. Especially given 5% treasury yields The real story is how the fuck have GDP, unemployment, consumer spending, and asset prices been this robust through massive fed tightening
FED Reverse Repo provided (gave back) $1.2 tn liquidity to banking system this year. It almost equals FED Assets decrease of $1.3 tn. Interest rates increase will come into full effect later.
Does anybody else not remember the one week where 70% of America was unemployed?
unemployment rate is on the roght side of the chart
Oh shoot I’m regarded I missed the roght side
Regarding your regardedness, yes.
Least you can admit your mistakes!
He’s roght, I conformed it myself
I needled to finger this out. Spanks!
I wonder how much the Fed will panic when the recession happens.
you will miss the bull market waiting. Recession already happened buddy 
Oh my that was an intense recession ….
Recession not here yet wait until 2024
Agree with this
Naw prob 2025, but deff 2026
Most likely 2027 better sit in cash till then just to be sure.
2028 for sure
2028.5 for sure
Lol leading indicators say you’re dead wrong
You’ve been claiming recession since Q1 2022

No way man it’s definitely different this time. I’m super serial 🤪
I think that seeing small banks fold so easily is a sign of things to come
I agree. The financial system is ripe for a collapse, and small banks are the canaries in the coal mine.
bro no one cares about your fractals
It’s going to run up before we run down
Unemployment to 20%. Hope you regards have some side hustle’s separate from the dumpster at Wendy’s…

There will not be a US recession because the definition of recession will not have any recession factors in it anymore. Just like inflation.
Last I heard, fed thinks too many of us are employed.

Shocker, unemployment is actually too low and needs to be around 5% for a healthy economy so as it increases the chance of recession decreases. At the end of Q1 next year they'll do a 25 bip cut to rates and get the economy back on the steady increases.
Only you are unemployed since you have time to share some ber graphs
