From Bloomberg:
"The U.S. recession, now in its 15th month, will probably continue well into 2010 or beyond, several prominent economists wrote in today’s New York Times...
"Any “whiffs of growth” this year “are likely to herald a false dawn” because of the poor financial condition of consumers, wrote Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia. He predicted the economy won’t begin to expand again until late 2010 or early 2011...
"Nouriel Roubini, the New York University professor who predicted the current financial and economic crises, said the recession may last a total of 36 months. It’s possible, he wrote, that the slump, instead of following a typical “U” shape back toward growth, “may turn into a more virulent L-shaped near depression.”
