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.
