In the immediately previous post today, Is ECRI Backing Off of Its Optimism, I noted some change in the quote Reuters attributed to ECRI's Managing Director, Dr. L Achuthan, which raised the question of whether some private indicators ECRI looks at had weakened since its bullish call of not long ago.
Dr. Achuthan has since E-mailed me to say that he is on vacation and that Reuters has misquoted him and that ECRI's indicators remain strong for a recovery in the economy this summer.
Here's hoping!

If equities were cheaply valued, fixed income securities were yielding more than 0%, we weren't facing a jobless recovery, and there was real reform of the FIRE economy pending, I'd be celebrating the ECRI forecast.
