If you like 20 months of complete stagnation, sure.

I have never before, in my entire life, heard of a flat market being called "great."

Trumpism, complete bull****.

Recession refers to GDP growth(or lack thereof). Stock market is not an indicator of economic growth. Stock market is at almost the exact same place as 1 year ago(hint: that is not good).

Sorry to burst your wishful bubble but the odds are a Recession is in the cards, how bad is debatable, does not look good for the Donald. Oh and markets are not a good thing to base your claim on, markets can drop through the floor in one day, has happened many times

Give it time. There will always be another recession. This last recession didn't end until Obama left office in January 2017 and it usually takes a few years before the next recession. The recession of 1974-1984, for example, was followed by a very short recession from 1989 until 1991. But then the economy grew slowly during the 1990s, picking up some speed during the 2000s, and finally crashing again in 2008.

There will definitely be another recession, but probably not before 2022 and there is no telling how long or short it will be. A lot depends on who controls Congress and who is President. Democrats always prolong recessions and depressions and make them far worse, whereas Republicans tend to end them quickly.

Uhhh....no, what set off nearly all of the discussion on a coming recession....was....wait for it.....

The inversion of the yield curve.

Since you can't remember that, I doubt you even understand what a YC is.

Since stock markets tend to go up, hitting a record is a surprisingly common thing. If you take a look at charts, you will see the last year has not been great for stocks.

That is called a flat market.

At least it was my entire life until Trump.

A flat market is when it does not move up or down... 500 points is moving up. That is not flat.

Who the f*#k cares, it is not a leading indicator of a recession, "liberals" were not basing comments about a coming recession on stock market dips and bumps.

It's usually the other way around. Republicans cause recessions by deregulating and artificially boosting the market which causes a brief spike (that they love to take credit for) followed by a collapse. Business regulation promoted by democrats prevents big spikes, but also results in fewer dips: I.E. a healthy economy. Market history is proof enough of this. Bush contributed to a giant recession by deregulating, (and had to reintroduce regulations in a panic at the end of his presidency) while Obama increased regulations resulting in a slow but steady climb out of it, (in spite of Republican attempts at sabotage to try to prevent the economy from improving under a Democratic president.) Now Trump is deregulating again for that classic Republican market spike and conservatives are praying that what happened every single time in the past that Republicans attempted to gut the government and give big corporations free reign over the market doesn't happen this time.

What is that saying about the definition of "insanity," often attributed to Einstein?
