Is the UK economy still in recession?

• Since the stock market hasn't been based around the value of goods and services for some time, and more around what anthropologists would refer to as "magic," and especially since the stock market has gotten so much more volatile in the recession, businesses are looking for a different funding option. Instead of stock options, a lot of companies, especially small business owners, are looking for cold hard cash instead – it's not like it depreciates. (Well, it does – but inflation and the Federal Reserve are another story!) Granted, a good investment in the <a rev="vote for" title="Businesses Look to Installment Loans Rather than Stocks" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/10/16/installment-loans-stock-market/ ">stock market</a> can be a good nest egg, but with a turbulent market, installment loans can be a sure bet for a short term shortage.

• Glad to hear it. Same for my industry and area in the U.S. I can't say the same for the entire U.S., however, but things appear to be looking up. Of course the present administration will take all the credit for it, as usual. (lol) It had nothing to do with seasonal econonomics or all us working stiffs humping our butts off and enduring no merit raises for two years, but also paying more taxes. We just don't understand the "big picture"...We must have superior guidance.
