Is Wall Street Driving Main Street?
By Staff Reporters
Concern is high that the US economy may be close to or entering recession, yet the fundamentals lend little support to such a projection. There has been no decline in jobs, while corporate health is very strong.
So, the recession concerns appear to be driven more by the decline in stock prices than by economic developments.
IOW: Is Wall Street pessimism driving Main Street gloom?

Jim Rogers
Jim rogers was just interviewed on Business Insider by Henry Blodget on May 2nd, 2012.
He said that because of the increase in debt, the next economic downturn will be much worse. We had a recession in 2002, then 2008 and the next one cannot be far away and should probably occur in 2013 or 2014.
Any thoughts?

What, Me … Worry?
It seems that in almost every conversation these days people worry about their investments and the markets [ie., the economy’s killing my investments … my portfolio’s down … the economy better turn around soon or my retirement will never happen, etc].
There are many variations on this theme and you’ve probably been hearing it, too! Especially in the doctor’s lounge.
So, it’s easy to worry about a recession.

Y-2013
I believe that 2013 will be the Perfect Storm. For example, bonds will get creamed as interest rates rise, equities will be down and commodities should be go negative after doing well.
Furthermore, the US dollar is weak and the Euro will get strong. Your thoughts?

Eye on the 2017 Economy [Is a recession on the horizon?]
The U.S. economy is enjoying one of the longest economic expansions in history, seven years and counting. The extraordinary duration—more than double the average length of an expansion (38 months)—could cast doubt on how much more room is left to run before the next recession.
As the saying goes, “expansions don’t die of old age.” Recessions—defined as negative gross domestic product growth over two consecutive quarters—are more than just statistical regularities of a predetermined business cycle. They are brought about by a surprise catalyst that disturbs the status quo, such as excesses that can build up in pockets of the economy during an expansion.
In some instances, an unknown shock could trigger the unwinding of such misallocations. OR, a new President [DJ. TRUMP]. This sudden retrenchment can ripple into the broader economy, affecting hiring and investment decisions.
Barring a significant shock to the U.S. economy, some believe the odds of a recession in 2017 are low, but not trivial. While there are uncertainties related to the new presidential administration, the economic fundamentals of the United States remain solid.
The service sector is in fairly strong shape, consumer confidence is high, and the unemployment rate is below 5%. With that said, there are three risks that will continue to be monitored: a “hard landing” of the Chinese economy, increased chances of a breakup of the euro zone, or the implementation of strong protectionist trade policies.
