We find your posts a bit silly and misleading. The Dow goes up and down on a regular basis and is trading in a sort of range right now. For your folks to declare a recession we need at least a ten percent correction in the Dow which has not occurred and is not likely to do so. Even in correction is no harbinger of a recession, only a part of that puzzle.
As far as personal spending and savings rates go. March is traditionally a weak month because of bad weather and the need to find money to pay income taxes of all kinds. Nothing more and nothing less.
And know this. I am considered an expert in this area and will notify the board if I feel we are heading into a correction mode. I've done it before and my track record is quite good in this regard. So, we don't need your constant alarmism polluting the board.
To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.
