Shakleton White Associates President Believes This is a Critical Week for the US Economy

Seattle, WA, March 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- "That we are at 12-year lows tells you that we are in a period of enormous uncertainty and that nobody knows where the bottom is," said Jennifer Campbell, CEO at Shakleton White Associates. "It shows that people are losing their belief in equities as a way to grow assets, and that they'd rather put their money elsewhere," she said.

Campbell continued by saying “Believe it or not, it is still not bleak enough to suggest a so-called bottom is forming” and she went on to comment further ”The S&P 500 and Dow industrials are both now roughly 50% off their all-time highs from October 2007 and this has made some investors think that a big rally could be brewing.” Campbell concluded her speech by stating “However, the retreat could easily surpass 50% and the fact that some people are optimistic about a rally starting but that's not what you see at a bottom, you usually see panic or apathy and we're not seeing either right now."
