blade, try and google PAUL KRUGMAN, he has been talking about double dip since 2002. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/02/opinion/dubya-s-double-dip.html I think at some point, which maybe in 2012, we do get another serious bear market that takes us down below 9000 on the dow. BTW, how much time needs to elapse to make a recession double dip?
