Actually, the recession formally ended in June 2009.



As to when the recovery started, it's anyone's guess. My investment account tells me it started this summer. YMMV.

I'll feel a lot more recovered when my paycheck does!

Volume in units is up, but margins are still down. WAY down.

Quick question. Does it also drive you nuts when Democrats are called communists in light of the fact that the 2 biggest genocides of the 20th century were in communist states (China and the Soviet Union)?

On a kinder and gentler note, here's a really nice piece on civility:

Finn, pointing out the the left are a bunch of commies isn't the same. Hitler and Nazi-ism is one and the same. Stalin and communism are not, even if Stalin sprang from it.

Pukka, let me compliment you instead of making a wisecrack, for once.

Mine too. And that would be about right, June of '09. Jacked up my 401k contribution to 16%. I'm loving it now.

What's wrong with your paycheck? Mine has gotten quite a bit fatter.
