Past Performance Recoveries Are No Guarantee Of Future Results
"The residential real estate market improved ahead of the end of the past seven contractions, with home construction starts beginning to climb an average of seven months before gross domestic product picked up and sales gaining about four months in advance, according to data compiled by David Berson, chief economist of PMI Group, a mortgage insurer in Walnut Creek, California."

an interesting thesis.
however I would argue against using contractions in general to guide us through this contraction.
instead, i would focus only on the patterns of credit-based contractions, such as we have now.
