So...There's a Recovery?If you're like me you are more than a little frustrated by the mainstream media parroting how we have been in a state of economic recovery for the past year. Huh? There are very few things that anger me more than manipulation by our media or governments so I started to do some digging. Keep reading and I'll explain a little about why the GDP recession provides false recovery data.Language of the Economisttotally understand how difficult it can be to even gain a rudimentary understanding of our economy and the mechanisms behind it. But I am determined to learn as much as I can despite the smokescreen of overly complicated language intended to frustrate and confuse the people. I strongly recommend you do the same.Our first question is usually: "What is a recession?" To answer that we'll need to understand how economic growth is measured. In general, the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, determines a recession, recovery or depression. If the GDP goes down and stays down for a few months, it's called a recession. If it goes down by 10 percent or more and stays down for a few years, it's a depression. And we both know that the leaders to not want to use that "D"...more

Being Street SmartSy HardingWeighing In On the Week's Economic Reports! September 3, 2010.The stock market this week is saying I was wrong in warning in last week's column that we might already be back in recession in this, the third quarter of the year.I have to agree that the alarming trend of worsening economic reports since May seemed to turn a bit more mixed with this week's reports.On the still worsening side were the further declines in construction spending, and in the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index. Second quarter productivity was revised down to a decline of 1.8%, double the 0.9% decline originally reported. Factory orders rose only 0.1% in July, worse than forecasts, held down by big declines in orders for machinery and computers, areas that it was hoped would take over leadership of the economic recovery after the housing industry collapsed again.The ISM Mfg Index was a positive, rising only fractionally, to 56.3 in August from 55.5 in July. But it was expected to decline. However, the ISM non-mfg Index, which measures the service sector (which accounts for 80% of jobs in the U.S.) fell to 51.5 in August from 54.3 in July, worse than forecasts, and the...more
