Kyle says:
“You can find ‘consensus’ estimates of Friday’s third quarter GDP in the neighborhood of 2.5 percent. While that would be great news, it probably ain’t gonna happen.
“If it did it would be the strongest growth we have had in more than a year, but the gradual slowing of underlying indicators over the past few months doesn’t make me optimistic that we are going to see a growth spurt this quarter. Add to that the fact that this expansion, though slow and plodding, has been going on for quite a long time by now.”
Cornell University has television, ISDN and dedicated Skype/Google+ Hangout studios available for media interviews.
