Well, I am glad top see so many people deluded and thinking we are not in a recession. The only reason it doe snot look like a recession yet is because inflation is still higher then the Fed Rate. This is why the Industrials are not layoff as many people yet.

> both of those reasons are amplifiers
Nope, they are canaries in the coal mine.

- FollowingTheDao 4y agoI feel that people do not understand Macro economics and the complexities of this market with inflated asset prices from years of near zero interest rates. You cannot compare numbers Economic indicators may look solid, but why? I assert it is because the Fed rate is STILL below the inflation rate. This is why the housing market has not totally seized up yet. The next inflation numbers will be high and then you will see people scrambling again.

- waboremo 4y ago>thinking we are not in a recession Nowhere was that stated. Hopefully you understand that both we are in a recession, and you are being misled as to why these layoffs are happening are both true. As stated, if it was purely because of the recession, the likes of Blackrock would also be hitting 5%+ layoff numbers.
