Philadelphia Fed Index Confirms the Obvious: US in Another Recession!

The Philly Fed number has never been this low without the economy being in recession having just recorded the 21st-worst reading in over 43 years! [While we are not in an officially sanctioned recession yet this new survey strongly suggests that that unwelcomed time has come.] Words: 260

So says Scott Krisiloff (www.avondaleassetmanagement.blogspot.com)  in an article* which Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (It’s all about Money!), has further edited ([  ]), abridged (…) and reformatted below  for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read. Please note that this paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement. Krisiloff goes on to say:

The bars [in the chart below] confirm that the survey doesn’t go this low without us already being in a recession or about to go into one within the next couple months. 

Let’s hope for a revision [but if we don’t] maybe we should start penciling in a new gray bar to the chart above!
