on 1 article, out of a choice of 3, pertaining to macro-economics...I chose the article that deals with the question, "Do changes in stock prices cause recessions?"

 

Yeah I'm at work too. Strange, people want power on week ends and holidays...

Go, Port Chester University, GO....



yay, im stuck at work also. if u wanna call it that.

 

Yeah, but I figured I'd spice it up a bit, and say that the stock prices don't cause anything. It's just a reference. It's the poeple's decisions that ultimately cause changes. And people's decisions are influenced by more than the prices.



For writing purposes, I like to take the unusual path, because it's hard to make "yes" into 2 pages.

Consider this scenario:

Stock prices drop. Man jumps out of window and strikes pavement with considerable force. Voila! A recession.



Or is that a depression?

 

It's a puddle.
