Forecast the Economy for the next 24 months?

[WA_Vol]

What is your forecast for the economy for the next 24 months with the current financial crisis? Will it get resolved? Will Obama make a misstep, etc?

 

[MG1968]

by the 2010 elections, the economy will be worse and the democrats will still be blaming it on 8 years of failed Bush policies.

 

[volinbham]

moderate to severe recession with staying power.

 

[Fine Vol]

Partly awsome with some scattered dow increases. Look for some rockin IRA roll outs later in the week.

 

[droski]

the economy bottoms in 6 months. 6-24 months we get a massive recovery.

i'll take droski's predictions over anyone elses. i'm buying up on some stock, help me retire young

real estate will start moving soon and do so quickly. The pricing has just gotten right. It's the single largest and most diverse market in our economy. Just returning to even keel is a huge boon.

If that happens does it last? If it does, is Obama assured of 8 years?

Yes. No.

I really hope your right. BTW what's your opinion of talking heads like Jim Kramer, Bob Brinker, etc? Anyone you consider a good prognosticator?

I'm starting to see that. Two houses on my street sold within weeks of each other. They were on the market less then month and a half.

Kramer is a pure momentum guy. I wouldn't follow his advice ever. he's been dead wrong so many times it's not even funny. no opinion on brinker. Art Cashin on CNBC is very good as is that chick hedge fund manager on fast money (don't remember her name).

[Vol Mania 21]

how much?

 

[WA_Vol]

Anybody still think those won't be a severe Recession now? I'm not sure in 24 months we will be out of it.

Chicken Little's administration is going to create what he keeps preaching.

Karen Finerman.

Kramer and Macke are 'for entertainment purposes only'.

it's guaranteed of this Porkulus bill gets passed without significant tax cuts and reductions in discretionary spending.

 

[allvol123]

Woo hoo! Severe recession is winning. What happened to the Hope?

 

[WA_Vol]

Obama has been in office 9 days and you already blame him for the recession?

You have trouble with this kind of stuff don't you.

I did not blame Obama for what has happened. The poll is about the future, not the past. If people felt his policies and ideas would bare fruit then the poll of their opinion on the future of the economy would say so. It says they feel not so great about his ideas.

Again, he's been in office 9 days and you think people have already begun to lose faith in him?

The results of this poll would have been the same 2 months ago. Obama's time in office is inconsequential.

some never had faith in his promises in the first place (and are looking smarter and smarter)
