    Jees enough about double dip already. What will happen will happen, no sense in talking too negatively until there are facts to back it up.

    Best stay away from this site, I have given it a wide berth lately, too much time here and I think I would be looking for the rope. :(
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    dave, you're wrong. :D

    Double dip feels like a fairly un-scary term now. Thought I was going to log on tonight & find some serious bear-mongering. Seems like its been a terrible week for the economy & sentiment. Maybe its just me/my friends/ town ....the civil service... :cool: :eek:...?

    Guess the fear really starts in October...

    A drop back into recession is very unlikely, history tells us that if nothing else.


    History tells us that history can only be relied on when a comparison can be made.

    Unfortunately a comparison can't be made.

    But then why predict a double dip when there really is no evidence that it will happen.

    It's a good point and we really are in uncharted waters at the moment. However it is possible to find many examples of economies that were completely FUBAR'd yet still managed to limp along for years or decades while slowly sorting themselves out.
