A phrase coined by NAFA, hearing it a lot on the financial channel lately.

What could this mean?

It means they hope the government will give out more bailouts and the fed will print money into oblivion

I suppose it’s working. The dow just had its best month in 33 years. So that’s optimistic?

After the market corrected in 1929 it went up almost 50 percent and then by the time the dust settled it went down 80 some percent.

Could this run be like that? No one knows but this isn't going to be like the average recession

Seems that the market always drops on a presidential election year.

What is coming won't have anything to do with an election year unless you believe the governors are shutting states down to punish trump.

Nimzy, did you see the numbers from Q1 2020? 4.8 percent decline in GDP, Q2 numbers will dwarf that.

Everyone knows the GDP is going to suck in the 2nd quarter, the big question is the economy a year from now.

Around here it means I hope I have work by the end of July, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hopefully one of these days the government will stop helping me and life will improve. I wouldn't bet on that either.

Not right away. Spend a year and then you will join the Clampett family and if Milburn hasn't robbed it all by then you may then get one 2 years from now that may be enough for one months groceries.

I'd explain how how all this works in detail, but I have learned the concept is beyond most peoples' comprehension.

The drop in GDP will be historic levels, it will add a new meaning to "suck"

Do you think there is any question where the economy will be in twelve months?

I predict the price of beaver will be below production costs and the Hammer's woman won't let him go north.
