Did he really say we were well into a recession?MR-7 » 11 Feb 2026, 7:07 am » wrote: ↑ It's amazing how you are able to predict, Mr. Clairvoyant, that the NDX will crash. I'm still looking for the recession that you said we were in last Dec. Actually, you said "We are well into a recession". What happened Mr. Clairvoyant?
Every major economic source — Stanford, the CBO, Morgan Stanley, U.S. News, Investopedia — shows the U.S. is not in a recession. Growth stayed solid through 2025, consumer spending and wages are still rising, and even the cautious forecasts say the recession risk is limited, not happening. You can be worried about deficits or policy uncertainty but claiming we’re ‘well into a recession’ is factually false. Show us the quarter of negative GDP which is the core requirement for a recession.
So, the GDP never went negative, NBER hasn’t declared one, consumer spending and wages are still rising, and every major economic source like Stanford, the CBO, Morgan Stanley, U.S. News, Investopedia — shows continued growth. You can argue about deficits or policy but claiming we’re ‘in a recession’ is just factually wrong.”
This is exactly why I get my FACTS from those who know. I will let you know when there is a recession.
If we were ‘well into a recession,’ the Dow wouldn’t be setting all‑time highs. Markets tank during recessions they don’t break records. Record highs mean investors expect strong earnings and continued growth. You can’t have a recession and a record‑breaking Dow at the same time unless you don’t understand how the economy works.
