The stock market has forecast nine of the last five recessions

Wall Street indices predicted nine out of the last five recessions!

It is indeed true that the stock market can forecast the business cycle.

The stock market has given off false signals in terms of anticipating recessions, but it has never given off a false signal about recovery before the recession ended.

You get recessions, you have stock market declines. If you don't understand that's going to happen, then you're not ready, you won't do well in the markets.

The stock market never sleeps,even in a blinding market recession it continues to thrive for those who know how to see opportunities.
