This is awesome. Only a true genius could do this all by himself without a recession or pandemic. MAGA!

Not trying to be a jerk however you may want to look into the UofM methodology and history.

The information was published with commentary in the Financial Times, a respected publication that has been in business since 1888.
The U of M has been doing the survey since 1946. What problem is there with methodology and history?
It's also reviewed by Fox since you don't apparently believe facts on CNN.

No recession listed in '22/'23 is a good start.

Next you're going to say Krugman is still highly respected....:)

Edit: Are you saying one opinion poll is a "fact"?

This is a few months old, but worth a watch

I wonder if the Dow is down over 8% since Jan 21st?
Perhaps it's something Paul Krugman and CNN made up.
Guess I need to look into that.

Because of the tariffs and the Market has been overvalued for the past 12-18 mos or so (likely because value is pegged to the Reserve Note).

The P/E ratios are wild these days….

I’ll withhold judgement on the tariffs for a couple of months and I’m happy to admit if I’m wrong for supporting the move if it blows up. That said, the status quo wasn’t sustainable much longer either.

As a reminder, I’ve admitted I was wrong for buying into the WMD narrative (pushed by Krugman’s former bosses btw).

If nothing else China knows we’re not going to put up with all of the bs anymore.

Edit: Stop hiding behind “experts”. If you don’t know, you don’t know. And that’s ok.
