Is the economy going to tank 2008/2009?Depression?

The more people talk about it, the more likely the depression will occur. people will start selling their stocks, and reports from companies for 2007, might discourage that or make it worse..

The Pres has stated about four times in the last month that "the economy looks OK" or words to that effect. And, that scares the heck out of me. The very last thing an elected official is going to say is "recession". So I'm planning for a cold fall in 2008.

Well, It's very common for things to get bad for a spell after a long stint of growth which we are just coming out of. I think the next year will be a bit flat in respect to the economy doing better or worse. After the election is over, I think we can expect things to go either way. I suspect things may gradually improve in 2009 unless something very unexpected happens. If something drastic happens everything could tank. The economy is just unstable and can go either way. Inflation is the real kicker here.

BTW.... The word Depression is no longer used. It's called a Recession.

Not that they are much different. I have heard it said like this. You are in a Recession if your neighbor loses his job. And you are in a Depression if (you) lose your job.

Money is going to tighten up for consumers so there will be less spending and more spent on just surviving (at least for the middle class). There will not be a depression, but there will be a bad recession because the US has spent trillions on the war, and is in debt to countries like China, Japan, Germany and many others who hopefully will not call in the debt....its going to be painful in the coming years.

Is there a threat of a recession? Yes. Is the economy going to tank or are we going to see a depression, No. First of all recession or a normall part of economic activity, you cant get away from them. Sooner or late growth slows down.

When assesing the economy, the job reports is the key. While the number has edged up, it is still in its historic average. As long as people have jobs, they will spend and economy will be stimulated

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a depression, but the next few months probably won't be fun if you're in the stock market (unless of course you short...)

unless america becomes a productive country instead of just consuming then it has no economy so no products no cash.


llazyiest
most people think so, so the answer is probably "no".
market timer bob brinker predicts no,
but theres so much going wrong you'd think yes.


Bhau
Nobody can predict it with 100% accuracy.
But with 70% confidence level I can say no. because the most of the factors are positive which indicate no depression.
