With hugely high rates of return on web-type investments, we find that an inverted yield curve may actually support the growth this market during a recession. Of course, the advertising market itself is highly dependent on the "real world" markets, which means that the ad market is likely to suffer; I'd expect earlier recovery in this market than in more inelastic, real world markets. http://www.politonomist.com/indicators-of-economic-recession-00272/ Interesting analysis, I’d like to add that perhaps the existence of an inverted yield curve is more relevant to the search marketing industry though.

The statistics in particular provide so much insight to the indicators that to the trained eye are as plain as day. While admitably, the tendency for most of us to keep the blinders on (in our respective micro market mentality) and keep running on the treadmills in regard to our economic state are alarming. This has most definitely spawned the need for further review (no need to take one in the chin if you can see it coming). Thank you both for the inclination and information shared, it was definitely an eye opener. I have to say, this is one of the most impressive and informative interviews I have read it quite a spell.
