tough call

    ECRI still bearish

    Just looking at the graph M2 is leading ECRI. My personal view, for what its worth, is that growth will slow below 0 again during Q1 and/or Q2 and we will have a QE3. With the high volatility in the ECRI-index, ECRI can always say that they have been right, whatever the outcome will be. It's a black box.

    Yes, it is a tough

    Yes, it is a tough call. I have seen ECRI's representative go on CNBC and he says that ECRI always calls recessions many months in advance of the market realization of recessions. If their black box is that good then maybe the M2 will start dropping if the economy heads into recession. Please keep those charts up and keep posting them, if you can. Maybe once a month would be adequate. Thanks.
