    Thumbs up The Global Economic Recession is OVER

    That's right, I called it. Here are the reasons why:

    1. Saddam is gone
    2. SARS has been contained
    3. Aside from today's attack, Al Queda has been getting their asses kicked in every corner of the globe
    4. Some morons are sending me "hot stock tips" SPAM emails about some crappy OTCBB stocks
    5. Roland is wrong


    Here are the hot techs to watch for in 2004:

    1. Internet 2
    2. Fuel Cells
    3. Biotech makes a huge comeback

    The recession is over when big coorporations have had enough time to make enough 'cut-backs'.

    Of cource it's over, and of cource your reasons have something to do with it.

    However, Biotechs are ones to watch, with much new tech that hasn't reached mainstream, I'm thinking it could be the new televcoms sector (but hopefully with something to back it up )

    Recession, what recession? Canada's economy has been doing fine for quite some time now. We've barely noticed a thing.

    Which blows this whole thread out of the water, since there never was a global recession. It was confined only to certain countries.

    Has global economic output fallen for 2 quarters in a row, if not there was no recesion.

    I'm too lazy to find statistics, but there was definitely a near-nil growth in western economies these years. In the US, the fall of the tech-bubble has quickly stopped growth (form 5.6% in Q1 2002 to about 0% in Q4 2002). In Germany, growth is near nil for some years now. In France, there has been a negative growth in Q4 2002, while it was pretty solid in the beginning of 2002 too.

    I hope the realestate bubble doesn't pop any time soon. I'm going to be buying a house around the end of the year and I'm going to be needing a greater fool in about 2-3 years.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck.

    Sadly, I don't see that poping. With the nature of repayments I think when it does it will be slowly, but it's still rising here IIRC, which is very worrying. Why do people get in so much debt? It just seems to be normal and accepted to have several hundreds of pounds on credit cards that you can't pay off, accruing interest

    there's been a recession in the states. harder for me to get summer employment.

    however, this recession seems not to have touched skorea, which is good.

    internet 2 will have porn on it as soon as they allow commercial sites on it. hell, freenet had porn on it from its inception, iirc.

    as for biotech... like the dotcommers, i don't think that's really going to be that hot. it'll definitely get more respect, but it won't be anything on the mania we saw before when one could say that one was cloning goatfvckers and get a high ipo for it.
