A couple of months ago, I was pretty bullish on the overall US economy for 2010/2011. Some of the leading indicators that we use to predict employment and job growth looked very positive, corporate earnings were up, and consumer credit card behavior was much improved.
I am now less optimistic. The job gains have yet to materialize at all, I think there are still huge problems in the housing market, and so on. I was wondering what the keen minds of CUF felt about how things will be in 2011/2012. Back a couple of months ago, I would have predicted a fairly strong recovery. Now I am leaning toward a continued slow recovery with very slow job growth, but I would not be surprised to see us slip into recession again. Pick the choice above that is closest to what you think will happen, and you can use your responses to explain yourself or let me know how my choices were lame.
