>A stock market dip does not a recession make You're right, but it's a pretty good indicator. It's been 56 days since the DJIA's peak close of 26,616.71 Yesterday's close was 23,957.89 and there has been a sustained loss of 2658.82 in the time since. I'm not the NBER, but a dip lasting almost 2 months sure smells like the start of recession to me.
