Consumer Metrics Institute: The Great Recession Never Really Left Us

02-20-2011 • minyanville.com

A couple of charts from the Consumer Metrics Institute show how the economic contraction may be over for Bernanke, Geithner and Goldman Sachs, but is firmly entrenched for the rest of us. Editor Note: The Economic Contraction Has Reached 400 days in Length. The first chart is a comparison of the 91-Day Growth Indexes during the quarterly period immediately following the beginning of a contraction. The events of 2008 and 2010 are shown against the same scale of annualized contraction, with 2010 in blue. The second chart is CMI's Contraction Severity Gauge. What can that possibly be? Apart from a gauge which measures the severity of a contraction, I mean? Well, it's the number of percentage-days of contraction experienced during the 'Great Recession of 2007-2009' compared to the 2010 contraction, with 2010 shown both to-date and projected.
