It's where the graph crosses the mid-point that trouble ensues.




sorry, i missed this post.

so it's basically when the economy slows down and a bunch of people lose their jobs meaning that they have less money to contribute to the economy, resulting in it getting worse?

are prices more likely to go up or down?  that page said that either could happen.  if they went down, would it be wise to buy a bunch of silver so that when the thing ends i can cash in?

so, since i haven't been buying and eating very much candy lately and i quit going to the pub for beer and dinner and i have almost completely cut fast food out of my diet and im saving all my money for a new car...im helping create the recession?

will prices go up or down?



essentially, yes. you not spending money puts less money into business you would usually consume at. those businesses decline in profits may/may not lead to layoffs. layoffs means whoever is laid off takes a SERIOUS cut in family income, leading to a drastic decrease in consumption on their part. In your case, you're saving your money, in the bank - which is good - that way the bank can lend it out, but its irrelevant because nobody wants to borrow on credit since times are "tight".

recessions suck - let's hope the FED comes up with something to make it all disappear!

i love monetary/fiscal policy - its my favorite area of economics (my major)

tight times are the best to invest, if you have the income to do so (hence, tight times).

basically, if nobody cared about the looming recession, and continued to spend frivolously on shit they dont need and cant afford - we probably wouldn't have one.

thats the reason stock markets crash - people freaking out.

if this all does happen, could it be just as bad as the great depression?

back then, didn't the banks refuse to give people their own money because they didn't have it or something? and didn't people kill themselves? weren't people selling nice cars for really cheap?

while I'm sure there are compelling reasons why they think a recession may be in store... the media has been crying wolf about economic recessions since before many of us here were born. It's a very attention-grabbing headline and if they keep feeding people scraps of information about the impending doom on the horizon, people are going to keep tuning in/reading/etc. thinking that the info will help them somehow, which of course is fine with the media companies and their advertisers.

Yeah, but now most banks are insured by the government so if they fail you can get up to something like 10,000 or 100,000, I forgot how big it goes.
