Green Shoots?

The term "Green Shoots" has been used a lot lately in the financial press in reference to signs that the economy is or might start showing signs of life.

Financial markets went to the extreme in pricing a worst case scenario during the sell-off leading the March 9th low. There was so much pessimism from investors, economists and analysts with nearly all becoming convinced that the markets would just continue to get worse ad infinitum. It was about as close as you can get to total capitulation.

Once the vast majority had given in to this mindset the market did what it does best -- reverse course.

The subsequent rally was in large part a realization that the world was not going to end. Now to compound the problems for those who missed out on the rally is the appearance that many leading economic indicators have begun to turn.

Is it possible that the recession, which at 17 months is the longest since WWII, could end sooner than most think?
