, why don't you offer some predictions on GDP growth over the next three quarters?



I know your Q was not directed to me, but..

3.2% GDP for all of 2011

Unemployment drops to 8.5% by 12/2011.

TEVA is still "any day now" :-)

Blade, I am sorry if I offended you. I don't mean to. I have no intention of piling on against you.

Usually if I see posts or predictions of a certain bend, I assume that the poster agrees with the assumptions otherwise why bother.

I read and follow a lot of financial blogs ; the majority seems to converge on a "muddle through" scenario ie somewhat weak economic performance for both US and or Europe, especially when QE2 ends.

Being of a contrarian bent (otherwise I wouldn't be in mnta ), I disagree with that view for 2011.

Dew likes to set up straw men, so he can then knock them down. You seem to want to do the same thing.



I stand mostly corrected and thus apologize - it does appear to be mostly a Dew hyperbolic strawman since I looked back through your posts for 'double'. You've posted a few more double dip articles than anti-double dip articles - but not entirely one sided and regardless you didn't actually argue to endorse them.

>>the prices of houses continue to deflate

I am in Lely (Naples). The prices of housing appears to be about half what it was at the peak.

Eg 4,300 sg ft home selling for $642K.
