0:00.0 | Hello, fellow, rebel capital, so I wanted to go over an idea or maybe make a statement |
0:09.1 | or I really want to get you guys thinking. That's what this video is all about. So I wanted to make |
0:15.3 | that statement. We will never have a recession again. Why am I saying that? |
0:21.8 | Because I gave it some thought yesterday and last night. |
0:26.6 | And I started to do some research and I found the number one thing that determines whether |
0:36.3 | or not we are officially in a recession is the NBER and their analysis of the labor |
0:46.1 | market. But you guys know from watching my videos and just not living under a rock that Donald |

1:47.2 | But to think that we would have Donald Trump replace this gal with someone that would then come out the very next month and publish, let's just say, a negative non-farm payroll, |
2:06.5 | I see that as very unlikely, regardless of what the data actually is. |
2:12.3 | So if we go over to NBER, let's switch up the screen share, |
2:14.6 | I just hopped on their webpage. |
2:17.9 | I'm like, well, how do they actually determine this? |
2:25.7 | So they call it business cycle dating. Okay. You guys can see from this chart, they've got unemployment. There's the first thing they lead with, unemployment rate in |
