Not a recession. It's a "special economic retraction."

[thomass]

The fact that the economy is in negative growth means the economy is not growing, the economy is retracting, that is a recession, people. If you have to dance like Fredistaire to explain the retraction, you may be lying.

[MustangWriter]

A Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Joe Biden loses his.

[MistaTofMaine]

I like how a lot of people question if we are in recession. Answer is yes all it means is two consecutive fiscal quarters of negative growth. That has always been the definition and should remain that way. I think would be very sketchy to allow political parties to start changing what words mean to try to hide their bad goofups.

[Magg]

If you need to ask this question, you are already far removed from the reality of most people.

[NobodySpecialFinance]

Changing definitions to suit your politics is the height of intellectual laziness and a sign of desperation. Maybe the recession is just transitory?

[jefferysfishing]

Like a forest fire that wipes out the old trees to make room for new growth, bearish periods ultimately establish a new crop of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a robust new uptrend.I have been reading articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

[ThomasColeFZ]

Nice title. Did you hire Beavis and Butt-Head?

[bradcornwell]

My primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I know the risks of short term gains are much greater but if well managed one'd make a killing, am I wrong?

[Patriciacraig]

U.S. stocks rebounded on Wednesday following back to back losses. The Dow Jones industrial average DIJA 1.29% was on track to recoup its 400 point loss from the prior day, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite comp 2.5% were both on track for strong gains. Meanwhile I am focused on making better investments and earning more as recesssion fear increases, and recently heard of someone on Bloomberg business who pulled a profit of $200k within 3months. How do I leave this strategies, my portfolio is stationary for months.

[NightRidah]

Guys I'm not broke, I'm just temporarily financially challenged. This is what that recession explanation sounds like 🤣

[oneiljerry]

With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy asap.

[hendrang]

- Negative GDP growth for 2 consecutive quarters is called a recession for countries outside the US.
- China's GDP growth below 10% means China is not only in recession but also collapsing
- for the US economy, recession or not depends on the opinion of its president.

[carolinekellysarin]

A crash and bullish market provides equal high-yield potential, it's all about information and strategy application, I've seen folks make huge 7figure profit in a crashing market and pull it off much easily in a bull market, Unequivocally the crash is getting somebody somewhere rich

There is always full employment before recessions

[kendrakuvred]

It's easy to be an investor during the good times. It's hard to be an investor during the hard times. If you want to be a successful investor, <YOU MUST be able to master your emotions and continue to invest in both types of markets. Especially when assets are on sale.

[JuanRodriguez-rhkp]

The reason consumer spending is up is because people are using their credit cards more than ever. We are in a recession.

[mesutserim]

Very well articulated; The Government regulates the entire economy. I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in September and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have at least $1 million by the age of 60.
