    The poll is biased.

    There is no 'never return to growth' option.
  • Second or third quarter 2010 - I think this is overly optimistic though. The amount of personal debt and the number of unemployed and it's impact on businesses suggests to me this is going to last a fair bit longer.

    It will be interesting to see how the view of people who enjoy debating the economy - varies against a more mainstream vote.

    Are you implying that we are not 'mainstream' ?? :eek:

    Makes us sound like a bunch of lunatics arguing over stuff we don't fully understand, and cutting n pasting big graphs of stuff we understand even less to back ourselves up !!!

    we may seem some growth towards mid 2010, but less face it thats a drop in the ocean and no one will see any benefits for a much longer period.

    Q4 or Q1 2010, as low exchange rate/interest rates and QE finally begin to bite.

    I went for Q1 2010 but I wouldn't be surprised if the recovery was W shaped and we see further negative quarters of growth in 2010.
