post up in the poll. Americans only, sorry.
U.S. recession will end (Americans only)...
- Thread starter Ski_Banker
- Start date
Which 2 consecutive quarters are we identifying as having negative GDP? Seems to me, the better question is to forecast when negative GDP will begin... if at all.

Clearly, we are at risk for negative growth... but it just is not accurate to refer matter-of-factly to a recession that has not even begun yet. The earliest possible moment a recession can be declared will be in early 2009 when Q4 GDP numbers are released. Even then, negative Q3 GDP numbers will be required and we won't see those until the autumn.
That said, it would not surprise me one bit if we had mild negative GDP the next few quarters. Flat to mildly-positive GDP numbers in the coming quarters would not surprise me either.
Wow so far most peeps thinking 2010...I was one of the end of 2009 folks. Hmmm better hold off on that vacation plan then.

No, if you can afford it, take the vacation now. Cheaper deals, and you help out the struggling business.
What recession, this is the most money I have made in my life so far this year.
maybe if you sell motorcycles or scooters lol.
I sell beer and hookers, and own a meth lab.
Beer, hookers and meth....... Brilliant! :biggrin:
Except for the actual travelling. I went to Hawaii twice this year and didn't pay more than $300 R/T either time. Fares now are $680 minimum.
