ECONOMIC DOOMSAYERS

Economic doomsayers predict that the American way of life dictated by cheap oil and domination in world markets is coming swiftly to an end. Will the great credit crunch of 2008 prove to be the undoing of U.S. markets for years to come? Or is the current market malaise simply a wringing out of some speculative excesses in combination with a normal credit cycle that will work itself out in time? This topic discusses whether or not these economic doomsayers are on target.
