“I think investors should strongly invested, ... They should realize that doom and gloom and all of this talk of recession is typical of major market lows. I think they should realize that the average decline within these long-term 'super bull' markets is 19 percent. And we've been down 27-to-28 percent. It's a great time to buy.”
Robert Robbins
“I don't think it's too soon to talk about a recession, even if I still think there's less than a 50-50 chance. Every other recent recession has been preceded by an energy shock. Certainly at the least there is a risk that growth will be curtailed.”
Doug Porter
“Continuing historical trends, the Bay Area has clearly emerged from the most recent recession in a strong position. Bay Area employers are in the center of one of the world's most dominant and rapidly growing economic hubs. That said, economic conditions change extremely rapidly. Forces that many would argue are in our control are at this very moment rapidly eroding our economic advantage.”
Jim Wunderman
“The market has done well in the year following a recession. We think the recession has ended.”
Alan Skrainka
“I think when we come back from recess, we'll get a bill.”
Arlen Specter
“The strong signal from the indicators means that the recession could be over soon. Three successive monthly increases, each larger than the one before, bring the level of the leading series above the pre-recession peak.”
Ken Goldstein
“Personally, I can think of no faster path to a worldwide recession than for the twin engines of the global economy - the United States and China - to turn against one another.”
