Happy early Mardi Gras from New Orleans!
Before we head into a weekend of floats and football, we question why we’re hearing so many economic bears coming out of the woodwork. In that vein, we’ll look at potential bearish indicators like tech bubble rumblings and the country’s unsustainable fiscal path. We’ll then examine tech’s impact on the economy and society as a whole, why some are calling this a recession of the poor, and make the bear case for Nvidia. We finish by giving our "expert" opinions on the big game on Sunday.
