With the credit crunch as bad as it is now, chances are we are in a recession. Who cares what they call it six months from now.

"2H of 2008 will be interesting to say the least." Personally, I think the first half of 2009 will be more telling regarding the strength of the U.S. economy. By that time, a number of bailouts in the pipleline (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, housing, 2 tax rebate checks, etcetera) would have come and gone. We'll have a pretty good idea where we stand then...
