Economy slowing; recession in 2007? WASHINGTON — There is little doubt the economy is slowing. What is unclear is how long the decline will last or how deep it will be. The latest evidence of a slowing economy came Wednesday in reports showing a dip in the rate of growth in the manufacturing sector and a further decline in housing construction. Also on Wednesday, Merrill Lynch warned clients that its "recession-risk indicator" is now pointing to a 51 percent chance of a recession in the next year, the highest such odds since the last recession in 2001. The indicator has only twice hit the 51 percent line without being followed by a recession, Merrill Lynch chief North American economist David Rosenberg said in a report titled, On a Knife's Edge. The question of whether there will be a recession is "still a tough call," he says. But "what the indicator represents is, at a minimum, a significant slowing in growth." Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors says there are still enough factors in the economy's favor to keep it afloat. In particular, job growth is still solid, and wages are rising while interest rates are low, historically speaking. But that doesn't mean the economy is poised for a big takeoff. "I'm not concerned about a recession at all, but I do think that we could be looking at (subpar) growth ... this quarter and the first half of next year," he said.

You're such a dick. Mertz, do something here.
Wal-Mart and Applebee's are both going into a recession of sorts. Negative numbers. It could be because the sheeple returned 97% incumbents to their palaces on the Potomac. The sheeple want more of the same-old, same-old. They don't want change for the better, just the security of the status quo. The status quo gives the sheeple high gasoline prices. Actually, $4.00 per gallon would not bother me too much because it will reduce traffic.

Oil Prices Rise Above $63 a Barrel Nov 30 11:26 AM US/Eastern By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press Writer Oil prices briefly shot above $63 a barrel Thursday in a rally that brokers attributed to technical trading, coupled with buying prompted by the approach of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Natural gas futures also climbed following the release of government data that showed a net withdrawal of natural gas from domestic underground storage facilities. Analysts are split over whether the recent surge in energy futures represents a correction for a market that had been trending lower since late summer, or if it is the beginning of a new upswing
Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe
"...Since last summer, when the housing bust became unmistakable, interest rates on long-term bonds have fallen sharply. They’re now yielding much less than short-term bonds. The fact that investors are willing to buy those long- term bonds anyway tells us that these investors expect interest rates to fall. And that will happen only if the economy weakens, forcing the Federal Reserve to cut rates. So bond buyers are, in effect, betting on a future economic slowdown. "...How serious a slump is the bond market predicting? Pretty serious. Right now, statistical models based on the historical correlation between interest rates and recessions give roughly even odds that we’re about to experience a formal recession. And since even a slowdown that doesn’t formally qualify as a recession can lead to a sharp rise in unemployment, the odds are very good — maybe 2 to 1 — that 2007 will be a very tough year.

warning A recession looms over AMERICA ..................... U.S. recession began in December 2007, NBER says By Rex Nutting Last update: 12:15 p.m. EST Dec. 1, 2008Comments: 709 WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. economy entered a recession in December 2007, a committee of economists at the private National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday. The economy reached a peak in December and has been declining since, according to the business cycle dating committee of the NBER. The committee does not judge a recession as two consecutive quarterly declines in gross domestic product; rather, it looks at four key monthly economic indicators, including employment, industrial output and sales. Employment peaked in December.
