Nobel-winning economist Robert Shiller says this might be a real indicator of market recession
https://in.finance.yahoo.com/news/nobel-winning-economist-robert-shiller-123826141.html
I like Robert Shiller who has been a regular guest on CNBC.
I am biased in favor of him because his father and aunt were long-time patients of mine.
I met him at his aunt's funeral 10 years ago. His aunt gave me the book he published
one year before she died. He won Nobel Prize one year after she died. She used to tell me
how close they were. His father, who was an inventor and an engineer, had a patent GM stole
and was fighting the GM until he ran out of money and gave it up.

In 2020, some analysts said that there is 40% chance of recession and
it would not be a bad one like 2008. Recession in the election year
is a major threat for the incumbent president.
Harry Truman observed, “You have to appeal to people’s best instincts, not
their worst ones. You may win an election or so by doing the other, but it
does a lot of harm to the country”. - Time magazine
Trump already won the election by “appealing to people’s worst instinct”, and
he is harming the country. He is getting ready to use the same for re-election.
Chinks crushed McArthur’s troops in Korea.
Why? He disregarded China’s strength at that time.
I hope he knows by this time. He must be feeling the pinch.
