Sorry to single you out, but the stock market usually trades in anticipation of recessions. It's not a proxy for the current GDP, it's an expectations market. The stock market could start a slow rise tomorrow and go until the end of the year and the entire year could be in a recession.

- rupert1234 7y ago? They were way off last week. If that is your definition of optimistic, I don't want to see pessimistic.
