Casper Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just finished reading this article. I'm not a huge Glenn Beck fan, but this was very well done. Lots of good info.http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/28/beck.commentary/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Also not a huge GB fan, but at least he's right about considering all viewpoints no matter how crazy; makes you EDUCATED, not a lunatic.Interesting side fact, which in all honesty, I haven't dug in to confirm - but I'm taking a finance class right now as part of my graduate studies. My prof has an engineering undergrad, and graduate degrees (including a PhD) in economics. So, he seems like a reputable fella. Anyway -- one of the notes I took regarding the economy was that since WWII, the Treasury Yield Curve was a leading indicator of a recession (Typically 6-9 months). If the Yield Curve is inverted, then a recession is likely to occur. So, if you look back around July of last year... it was inverted for the short term. And thus, here we are today.
