W Shaped Period of Economic Performance, says Jeff Thredgold

Looking to bring in a presenter to speak on the current state of the economy?

Speaker Jeff Thredgold will bring your group up-to-the-minute perspective on where things stand in the U.S. economy, and where the economy might stand six, 12, or 18 months from now. His presentations are not flashy or filled with multimedia. “It’s just a microphone and me,” says Thredgold. “And I’m pretty easy to see, since I’m six-foot-five.”

Thredgold’s not a motivational speaker. He brings strong, accessible, and factual presentations about current events that affect markets and the economy. Along with talking about the global economy, tight labor markets, and financial institutions, Thredgold also has a presentation that covers the “Top 10 Myths Reported by the National Media.”

Including NAIFA, he has talked to a mind-boggling 1,000 plus groups in 48 states since 1988. Thredgold spent 23 years with banking titan KeyCorp, serves as an economic consultant to $50 billion Zions Bancorporation, and is a former member of the Economic Policy Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Bankers Association.

And despite such heady involvement in those organizations, Thredgold is one of the only economists to earn the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation.

So, what his latest take? Check out his tea leaf bulletin:

The U.S. Economy…the big “W”

The current period of U.S. economic volatility seems likely to continue in coming quarters.  A “W”-shaped period of economic performance seems underway. The official “scorekeeper” of the U.S. economy, the National Bureau of Economic Research, has remained silent to this point in regard to recession.  In our view, an announcement that a recession likely started around the end of 2007 could come at any time.
