So say we all.
Well it's a backward looking model which explains why it aligns so perfectly with the last 2 recessions. There is certainly value to models like this, and all economic models should be based on data, but it really should show more than 20ish years of history. My guess is that it is only made based on those years, and it doesn't fit the rest of history nearly so well which is why those years are omitted.
David Rosenberg is a perma-bear. He is trotted out like a circus pony every time a news organization wants to print a scary headline about the markets. His analysis offers nothing of distinct value because he does not change his opinion.
David Rosenberg has successfully called 86 of the last 3 recessions.
This is a useless article, written via the opinion of one of the most useless economists.
I find it fascinating that in English risk is always negative but chance isn't always positive.
In my native language there's a 15% chance that there won't be a recession and an 85% risk of there being a recession.
"chance" in my mind always means "less than likely". Rather, if there is a "chance" of something, it is likely not going to happen.
I think the word you're looking for in English that can have both a negative and positive connotation is "possibility" for a "less than likely" outcome.. Its interchangeable with "chance" in most cases.
Is 85% less than likely in your opinion?
No. However, I thought you comment meant you interested in discussing the usage of English language in popular context and the oddities in which it was sometimes used. If you're looking for absolute rules of language usage I'm not sure you're going to find it.
Sorry, that sounds a lot harsher reading it than I meant for it to sound. In the context of the news article linked I found your less than likely funny. :)
If we're speaking of personal feelings in how the words should be used then mine is that the possibility of an occurrence would be called a chance if I want it to occur, a risk if I don't, unless the possibility reaches 100% or 0% as then it is no longer a chance nor a risk but a certainty.
99% chance you're wrong.
I swear that website's "journalists" just make shit up
Wait wasn't this the mother fucker last week that said the next recession would be caused by poor people?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A recession is likely to hit the US economy in 2024, a new economic model highlighted by the economist David Rosenberg suggests.
The economic indicator, which Rosenberg calls the "full model," suggests there's an 85% chance of a recession striking within the next 12 months.
The model is based on a working National Bureau of Economic Research paper and consists of financial conditions indexes, the debt-service ratio, foreign term spreads, and the level of the yield curve.
"The full model predicted the 'soft landing' we saw in 2023 — but now is saying that for 2024, recession probabilities are highly elevated," Rosenberg said.
The model utilized by Rosenberg also helps explain why the closely followed yield-curve indicator has so far been inaccurate in predicting a recession.
"It also explains why the yield curve didn't work as a recession predictor in 2017-19: easy financial conditions, extremely low debt service obligations, and favorable foreign term spreads offset the signal from the inverted U.S. yield curve," Rosenberg said.
The original article contains 338 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
No it doesn’t. Have they ever been to a Costco?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
