Good news for those worried about the economy: "We are in the early stages of the recovery and it looks to be a lot stronger" than the consensus for modest 2%-3% GDP growth, says Lakshman Achuthan, managing director of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI).

Furthermore, the recovery will be "V-shaped" and is now "virtually unstoppable" - at least through the first half of 2010 -- Achuthan says, citing a "positive contagion" in the economy right now, based on leading economic indicators. Most notably, the ECRI's index of Weekly Economic Indicators just hit a new record high.

I just don't think the ECRI gets it this time.

Here's an analysis by Mish, who I've noticed some of you guys back here read, on the ECRI's forecasting record. Among a lot of other interesting stuff, it looks as if they made a recovery call in early 2002 largely based on a stock market move. Looks similar to today.

I'm very much in the David Rosenberg camp on this.

I would say give it to MileHigh or Kige. Both have the mental capacity it takes to be an economist in America.
