Is The Recession Over?

Yep. Schwab's chief investment strategist, Liz Ann Sonders, says it's over.

It is useful to know that Sonders was one of the first to declare in late 2007 that we were in a recession - long before it was painfully obvious and before the official pronouncement by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Before you break-out the champagne - Sonders also says our problems are not completely behind us and that there is a reasonable risk of a double-dip recession.




Here's what I want to know.

If the worst is behind us and the economy is on the mend and we've only spent roughly 7% of the economic stimulus money is someone going to send the remaining 93% that hasn't been spent back?

  1. The stimulus will ultimately cause the double dip in the recession.

    Thank you GOP moderates for this trainwreck of a plan.

  2. We’ll probably learn the answer to all of this by sometime next year.

    In the mean time I have expanded the garden and stocked-up on cases and cases of ammo.

    As they say in scouting: Be Pepared!
