the highest for any quarter on record. If won’t recover all the Q2 decline, but it will still be huge. Definitely double-digits and quite possibly over 20%, maybe even 30%.

Can you imagine what the market would be doing without this contraction

Probably selling off about now for the election. S&P would have been around 3700

I think you misread what he wrote. You both are saying the same thing.

RexIdaCoug

7/30/20 7:28am

You’re right, I read “Q3 GDP growth is going to drop”

chilango

7/30/20 7:33am

Yep.

Harbinger

7/30/20 7:31am

So you’re saying he should get to brag? I’m really saying he shouldn’t.

I'm saying he's going to.

There are enough dumb people out there that it will definitely help him.

chilango

Just like there are enough dumb people that blame trump for covid.

Harbinger

7/30/20 8:40am

Yeah. The problem is that the ones who are dumb enough to do that are also dumb

The covid blamers will vote for the guy they blame?

Harbinger

7/30/20 1:10pm

I fear many of them probably will. They're that dumb. They think the president

chilango

7/30/20 1:17pm

So they blame the president and yet will still vote for him. I just want to make

Harbinger

Sure, why not? You can't reason with dumb.

Annualized. Not in the quarter.

It's always quoted as an annualized number.
