Since last year real GDP growth has been slowing. The chair of the Federal Reserve has been signaling that, while growth is slowing, there is no recession risk and the Fed is forecasting continued positive growth. Warning signs in the economy, including an inverted yield curve, have been ignored and stock markets continued to make new highs in July. In August a correction took a place and subsequently a rally ensued into early September. On September 18 the Fed is expected to cut rates.
U.S. stocks proceeded to make another marginal high that October — and that was it. Lights out. We all know what happened next. Markets topped in October 2007 following the Fed’s September rate cut. That November, Ben Bernanke, then Fed chair, said there wouldn’t be a recession. According to a November 2007 Reuters report, Bernanke told a congressional committee: “Our assessment is for slower growth, but positive growth, going into next year.” The U.S. economy entered recession in December 2007."Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers on Thursday the U.S. economy did not appear headed for recession.
“Our main expectation is not at all that there will be a recession,” Powell said.”https://t.co/y9qq1jczvq
NorthmanTrader NorthmanTrader -- aka NorthmanLoser -- sucks at predicting. He's called 16 out of the last 0 crashes since 2011. Permabears have no business forecasting markets. No one should be doing that anyway, but their track record is the worst.

This guy is an alleged fraud. Disappointing and disturbing that you and CNBC continue to give him a platform.

NorthmanTrader I don’t trust this guy , he seems to hate Trump more than he loves this country. Saboteur!?
NorthmanTrader As long as Trump and the fed is successful at continuing to rob from future generations by creating a bigger debt bubble, we can hold off at least through the 2020 election.

Kris_Sacrebleu NorthmanTrader Just mentioning bad economic news guarantees Trump will publicly ridicule you.
gtconway3d NorthmanTrader The FED can't tell you whether you're in a recession until you've been in a recession for a quarter or so.
NorthmanTrader Absolutely, though it would be terrible for them to acknowledge a recession until they are absolutely sure it's happening because that would just become self fulfilling.
