All 'recessions'...are not created equal.
Given that we are now, hands down, in the longest economic expansion in American history...simple common sense says it HAS to correct at some point. The big question of course is...by how much? In my mind, the concerning part is that most of the tools in the toolbox that can be used to soften any recession, have already been used (tax cuts/low interest rates/eliminating regulations/etc.)...just to keep this one going. A weapon is useless, if you've already used all of your ammunition. As for those who are naive enough to think a shrinking economy is just "fake news" generated by the media, you may want to do some research on trucking/railroad volumes which are leading indicators...and put less emphasis on trailing indicators. You might also ask yourself, as much as it might hurt, who benefits the most by trying to make you believe everything is just hunky-dory...and there's nothing to worry about?

We survived the last recession. I'm guessing we'll survive the next one. And the one after that.
I have leaned toward investing dividends of current holdings more to tax free muni's instead of back into stocks though.

The Fed - Finance
There are all kinds of resources out there for information. I still trust the main news sources like NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN. These are news and not entertainment like FOX news which I think does not even qualify as "news" because their "facts" are so skewed. Or try going into a library and asking the reference librarian what are the best sources for information about economic trends in the US. |

When I see a downturn in the Dow, I look immediately for a couple of posters on this forum to post and to gloat. At least it seems that way to me. I am not a financial expert. I am a retired Pre-School teacher. But thank heavens I am not as dumb as I look.

There are many sources of good information out there. And these are the reliable media like CBS, ABC and NBC as long as you check their numbers with proven other sources. |

And don't forget these other 'fact-checking' sites...which most often agree with Snopes. Truth or Fiction? - Seeking truth, exposing ficiton Fact-checking U.S. politics | PolitiFact Which, unfortunately for some, kinda blows the conspiracy theory about Snopes being 'biased'...right out of the water. What's really sad, is that most people don't even bother to research and prefer to just believe/pass on...whatever fits their confirmation bias. |

Charles Payne says the rate inversion is caused by huge amounts of foreign investment pouring in. Rate is staying low because a percent and a half is so much better that getting 95 percent of your principal back in ten years in Europe. Rate doesnt need to climb to attract investors. This is something new and is not the reason for previous inversions.
