No, but almost every economic report suggests a slow down is likely. Problems in Asia, Russia and South America are hurting US export industries. Seems we can't escape our global interdependency.
Economic signals are strong.
It's hard to imagine a recession coming any time soon. A recession by definition, for those who are curious, is negative growth in the Gross National Product for two consecutive quarters. One quarter of negative growth could come from many economic sources - a strong dollar that makes our exports too expensive, increased oil prices or labor shortages and real wage increases beyond productivity increases. Two bad quarters in a row seem unlikely, with Greenspan at the helm of the Federal Reserve. Thank the public markets for constraining the supply of new real estate.
